Aegina, Saronic Gulf, Greek Islands
was a city state in it's own right in ancient times, and at times a visible thorn in the side of classical Athens. Aegina is a nice day trip from Athens. Take the ferry rather then the hydrofoil so that you can relax and enjoy the scenery of the short trip...

Crete, Greek Islands
I first fell in love with Greece when I was young, and I learned that the labyrinth in the myth of Theseus and the Minotaur, was the Palace of Knossos in Crete. From then on, the stories took on a whole new magic meaning and opened a world into a mysterious past ...
|
Delos, Cyclades, Greek Islands
All guide-books will tell you that no one is allowed, by law, to stay on Delos overnight, but there is a wonderful story about how Lawrence Durrell, the famous Philhellene and English author, managed to do this and have the most magical night of his life ...

from the previous nights festivities. Restaurants and cafes on waterfront are
for people-watching ...

Ios, Cyclades, Greek Islands

Paros, Cyclades, Greek Islands
is the island for every man. Rich and poor, from the most culturally aware to the hedonist, hippy to computer geek, foreigners and Greeks, they all come in the summertime. One reason is that just about every ferry stops here, but some people do not want to leave...
