May 4, 2007. Toronto, Canada. Finally, I set off to Athens for a 23 day trip, alone. Quite often, I had friends asking me the similar questions, "Backpacking? Greece? Turkey? Why?" And quite often, I felt hesitant to answer. "The freedom ... May be ... oh, the Aegean Sea, the blue sky, the beaches, and ... the ruins!" I felt hesitant because I had never shown any interest in history, and I did not enjoy the sun and beaches that much. Honestly, I had no answer myself. After hundreds of hours of reseach and planning, there were many question marks noted on my itinerary, even more unanticipated u...

We also spent 3 days in the beach resort...

He took our bags from us and loaded them in the trunk. He then handed us ice cold water bottles. While he drove he answered all the questions we had for him about Greece. He spoke wonderful English. We checked in at the Westin in Vouliagmeni. We found out it would be two hours before our room woul...
