Our wish has been to share with you Greece’s history, culture, and natural beauty. Starting in 2001 we have sat with you beneath the windmills of Mykonos; walked in the medieval city of the Knights of St. John in Rhodes; visited the home of the great Macedonian kings, Philip II and Alexander the Great, in northern Greece; marveled at the site of the great Minoan palaces in Crete; admired the magnificence of ancient and modern Athens; had a taste of the unique blend of Greek and Italian culture in Corfu; strolled in the port of Nafplion, the first capital of the modern Greek state; were welcomed in Samos, the island of Pythagoras; were inspired at Olympia, the birthplace of the ancient Olympic Games; watched the full moon rise over the ancient Temple of Poseidon in Sounion; climbed to the small village of Papingo in the Pindos Mountains of Epirus; experienced the centuries-old multicultural history of Thessaloniki, the capital of northern Greece; met in a sea of olive trees in Messinia by the bay where Greek independence was determined; in Eastern Crete we were treated to a private visit to the ancient necropolis of Eleftherna and the leper island Spinalonga; we were hosted by friends in the small city of Kastoria, a Byzantine urban center continuously inhabited from the Byzantine age until today; we revisited glorious Athens; we were back in Corfu, from where we visited the closely connected with Corfu ancient Greek city of Bouthroton in Albania; and back to Crete.
