Greece is beautiful.

My hostess is a wonderful woman who was very motherly, and took very good care of me while I was in Athens. I really enjoyed her hospiitality and her company, as well as meeting her friends!

I had a wonderful time with a feminist friend who showed me several women-owned bars in Athens, and I got to dance Zembekikos and Tsiftitelis with some of the women, while other women clapped and even used tamborines offered by the bartender at one bar to cheer us on. :-)

Lessons learned this trip:

Never travel on Friday (or erev Yom Tov)
Always confirm reservations before leaving, even in the low season
