Your photos are amazing. I've traveled a lot, but never to Greece.
Thanks for visiting my blog.

GutsyWriter. I thank you too and I do hope we can keep in touch! It's about time to visit the 'basic' and 'Go back to the beginning', as many of Western traditions we hold dea started in Greece.

@ Cheryl. Everything is beautiful including Aphroditi herself!!

@ Protege. You are too romantic, that's why you should live in Greece!!

@ Rita. Are you romantic too Rita? I guess yes, (kyllä)!!

@ Arjaanneli. Terve, hi! Your english are better than mine. The reason why you always want to travell to Creek, is because of the Greek Myth!!! Live your myth in Greece...
