This is an arbitrary selection from my first weeks in Greece. There is so much more to taste, so much that I don’t have photos of; all I can say is that every single day this country surprises me with a new delight.
A special treat has been my first visit to Peloponessus, to see a play in Epidavros. Like every island, every region, every town has its own specialties, and frankly, I don’t see how anyone could ever get bored of life in this place.
Gottseidank, it is a place I can call home.
