Guide to Greece?
Time saunters by in the cobbled back streets of
Samos, as wedges of sunlight and shade inch across parched wooden
tables outside a taverna. In the dim interior, the owner dispenses
his house retsina straight from the barrel into carafes, while occasionally
his wife - or cousin, or sister, or father - ambles out, unceremoniously
plonking octopus in olive oil, dolmades, fried aubergine or spanakopita
onto patterned tablecloths. Just as the gnarled gentlemen patrons
are settling comfortably into their drawn-out tales, the horn of
an approaching ferry sounds from the port, your signal to get going
to the next island.
Known as 'the cradle of Western civilization', Greece has thousands
of important historical and archaeological sites, intensely rugged
landscapes, and over 200 inhabited Mediterranean islands - not to
mention a quirky but very generous approach to hospitality.
For all its dilapidated sins, the capital Athens, is worth visiting
just for the ancient Acropolis, awesome even in ruins in its lofty
position overlooking the vast city-sprawl. Athens is also a quick
train ride to Pireas, the main port, where you can book a ferry
bound for just about any island that takes your fancy.
So much choice doesn't mean you have to move around. You can - and
many do - stay put on Rhodes, Crete or Corfu, soaking up sun, sand,
sights and scenery to your heart's content. But if you're prone
to itchy feet, island hopping is a Grecian speciality. Sampling
the wild nightlife on Mykonos and Ios, spectacular scenery on Santorini
and Zakynthos, or the traditional charms of Alonissos or Paros,
is as easy as getting your head around the ferry timetables. A note
of warning though - read them wrong in some of the more remote stops,
and you could find yourself reclining among olive groves for much
longer than planned.
