After viewing our President in Greece and the "impact" of his visit, I was wondering if any of the luggers are greek and have noticed an increasing violence on persons from the states. I will bypass the Greece mainland and head directly to the islands. Do we have any first hand knowledge?>> <<< Rob Mueller www.studiesinblackandwhite.com >>> I've never been to Greece, but I've heard some words of caution relating to Athens in particular (what else is new). A friend of mine is Greek (lives few months a year now in Greece, otherwise US) and has stated with about as much sincerity as I can fathom that the Island (of course his home) of "Carpathos" (sp?) is 'the only' place you Must go. I'm not sure about the popularity of this particular island, but it's rather unvisited. Very remote unpopulated small and no tourism attacks. Do you know of this island? As I said he's gotten more than a bit excited over it. Mediterranean Architecture is IMHO about as good as it gets. You could always take a cheap boatrideover to the Mid East and take a snap at Jerusalem while you are in the area. Eno - -----------------------------------------
