Greece is my favourite place in all of Europe!
Henry Miller wrote in The Colossus of Maroussi:
“I would stroll about in the dazzling starlight, repeating to myself as if it were an incantation: “You are in another part of the world, in another latitude, you are in Greece, in Greece, do you understand?”… I had the strange feeling of being at home, of being in a spot so familiar…. Greece is of the utmost importance to every man who is seeking to find himself”
For me the very best way to see the country and the islands is to hop on a ferry and drift between them setting down now and then to enjoy the history, the people, the food, the ouzo and the Mythos!

Great reading, thank you! Cheerio.

Hello Andrew. I love your writing. I hope you do not mind if I share some Greek info to my blog? this is curious, right? I am Greek and I am asking from you!!!!!
If I wasn’t English then I think I would be Greek! If anything I say is useful then please use it. I adore Greece and everything about it! I hope you get those shoes for Christmas!
You are sooooo sweet, thanks again!
WOW you have been to a ton of places in Greece! Thanks for you comments on my blog this morning, I’ll definitely keep those places in mind that you mentioned- I really REALLY want to go back to Greece, it was beautiful!
Love your pictures and your blog! It has been my longstanding dream to explore all those islands! Have barely scratched the surface with Santorini and Rhodes. Will surely be lurking around here for more
Hi Andrew! Expect you noticed that I’d nominated you for greece in the Picture the World Project? http://restlessjo.wordpress.com/2012/06/10/picture-the-world/
Not sure when you’re back from Russia, or if you’ll have the time, but it’s a brand new project and they’re just getting it up and running. I thought it was a great idea, but no worries if not.
Hi Jo – Thanks for this – I have to confess that I am safely back in the UK and my posts are all retrospective!
I’ve only been to Santorini (your cover photo I think) & I completely love it! If i could pick only one country to go to for the rest of my life it would be Greece
Can’t wait to win the lottery & start island hopping there!
