GREECE
Visited: 1991 1994 1997 1998 2003 2005 2006
ONE OF MY FAVORITE COUNTRIES TO VISIT
80% of Greece is made up of mountains. Thousands of islands. Breathtaking landscapes and sunny weather during spring, summer and fall. Surrounded with sparkling, clear blue water. The people are friendly and tourist expenses are low.

NAXOS
THE HISTORY OF THE ISLAND DATES BACK 7,300 YEARS
During those times Naxos was the center of a thriving civilization. Greece was the birthplace of democracy in the west.
CHORA IS THE ‘OLD TOWN ‘OF NAXOS
A labyrinth of narrow, stone paved pathways wind through the historic part of town, dating back to the 8th century BC. Wonderful restaurants. Inexpensive lodging is available in spring and fall.
THE PATHWAYS IN THE ‘OLD TOWN’ AVERAGE 8 TO 9 FEET WIDE
Small restaurants are everywhere.
SHOPS, RESTAURANTS, HOMES ... THEY’RE ALL INTERMINGLED.
