** GREECE **
The capital city of Crete is Irakleon, an attractive mix of new and very old.
The remains of the palace at Knossos and two of the restored frescoes.
The lovely sandy beach at Stalida, on the island of Crete.
A typical Greek church.
Dancers in traditional Greek costume.
A typical wooden Greek boat moored off Platia.
I find the typical narrow, winding Greek streets and the blue and white buildings enchanting.
The Castle of the Knights, by Kos harbour, is very similar to the Venetian castle in Irakleon.
Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, came from Kos and is supposed to have taught under this tree.
The Asklepion, just outside Kos town, was a hospital.
The Odeon in Kos town is a very well preserved theatre.
One of the many excavation areas in Kos town accessible to the public.
The dormant volcanic crater on the island of Nissyros, viewed from the village of Nikia;
and from inside, where the steam rises through fumaroles.
The Church of St. Dimitris, by the harbour in Zakynthos (otherwise known as Zante) Town.
