Snorkeling
This is a top pick! The wind caressed our faces as the boat chugged out into the Bay of Crete. Our first stop was the site of an underwater German plane that crashed during World War II. The students put on snorkel gear and swam out to look at the wreckage. When they ...
Athens With Attitude.
This is a top pick! ... to combat this, and the people being very unhappy. There were riots (With deaths) the first week we arrived in Greece. Our time in Greece is nearly over - we begin an Eastern Europe tour next but it allows for ...
No Such Thing as Too Much Greek Food
This is a top pick! We were scheduled to walk back to Phaestos to catch the charter bus to lunch, but after compassionate Basil saw how long the walk back would be, she called the bus driver to ask him to meet us at Agia Triada instead. We lunched in the little town of ...
Mugging at Tylissos
This is a top pick! We got some great pictures at Tylissos. Archaeologists reconstructed the frame for a three-paned window in the villa, and the students enjoyed posing in it. Then we found an ancient round cistern. Although really it was built as a storage vat, it ...
Athenian Death March
This is a top pick! We took the second walking tour today into the heart of Athens. We passed the Kalimarmara Stadium, the Zappeion, through the National Gardens, watched the changing of the Evzone guard at the Vouli, Syntagma Square and metro station, Mitropoli church, ...
Why and the Gods
This is a top pick! Carolyn and I paid our respects to the abode of the twelve Greek gods at Mt. Olympus. The highest peak in Greece had now changed hands to the Orthodox Christians as small shrines and a rebuilt monastery were part of the trip along Mavrologos ...
The Santorini Eight

Athens Olympics 1896
This is a top pick! We arrived at the airport, and were asked to put all of our bags in to the x-ray machine. We gathered them. We lined up at the counter where we had to get our seats. They looked at our tickets and we were once again asked to put our bags through an x-ray ...
Our first stop in the Aegean
This is a top pick! (C) THOUGHT OF THE DAY - Ferries to the islands are sketchy and filled with gypsies. We decided not to rent a car and drive to Delphi today mostly because it was hot there and renting a car was so expensive. It seemed like a good idea to forego the ...
Stories in Stone at Olympia
This is a top pick! The only thing left to do on our excursion to the Peloponnese before departing back to Athens was to roam through the Antiquities Museum at Olympia and the the Museum of the Olympic Games. At the Antiquities Museum, Indy showed us the sculptures that ...
Troglodytes and hippies
This is a top pick! (C) (S) Ahhh....our first beach in Crete. Very nice waves to ride, and unlike North Carolina I am not nearly swept out to sea to my death. The caves in the rock above the beach are a bit unnerving, especially with the knowledge they were Roman tombs. ...
Athina at last!
This is a top pick! "Athens is fantastic!" - i just thought i'd put that as an opening statement. First up we arrived here in this tiny little propeller plane. Smallest plane i've ever been in. It vibrated alot more throughout the hull due to propellers instead of ...
The "almost perfect" beach
This is a top pick! (C) (S) The search for the perfect Creten beach continues. This one ranks high. For the wonderful water, sand, beautiful rocks, and perfect solitude. We do little else besides eat our picnic lunch, read books, and ...
The road north
This is a top pick! (C) We had to stop for water at the venetian fountains in Spili. Supposed to cure old age. Sara filled up several bottles for me. (S) This fountain of youth crap doesn't seem to be working. Chad still acting like old ...
Twenty Eight at the Silver Mine
This is a top pick! Next the bus took us further south to the silver mine at Thorikos. The slaves of the Athenians dug approximately 21 billion dollars' worth of silver out of these mines, enough to pay for the fleet Athens used to defeat the Persians in the Persian ...
I'm on a Boat!
This is a top pick! ... of them together. With a group like this drinking like sailors is not just an expression, it is a right of passage. In Greece, the local firewater is Ouzo and I have no problem saying out loud that it sucks! Next stop: ...
Show Us Your Belly
This is a top pick! ... , Indy admonished us: "We're going to have to HOOF IT!" And of course, we've been hoofing it all over Greece ever since. Papia wore her Greek gladiator sandals for good luck when taking the quiz. After the students survived the quiz and classes ...
I Need a Yiayia

This is a top pick! ... backpacking through Italy and France. Some young women are hitting Rome to Florence to Venice. A couple students are staying in Greece, visiting islands like Mykonos, Santorini, Delos, and Rhodes. Two or three separate groups are headed for Egypt, one ...
Greek Island #2 - Ios
This is a top pick! The ride to Ios was interesting. We were on some huge "speed boat" in which best describes it. There was no deck and everyone had to sit in an allocated chair inside as it went rediculously fast that it was getting some seroiuse air time over the ...
Down from the Mountain
This is a top pick! Students are doing their final loads of laundry in preparation for packing for home, so I'm booked with dinners every night this week, and even a breakfast. Tonight Jackie O and Click made sautéed zucchini and spaghetti with meat sauce. As soon as the ...
None for You
This is a top pick! ... take over parts of Turkey and Cyprus, Turkey expelled hundreds of thousands of ethnically Greek people from their country (and in turn, Greece sent some of their population, mostly Muslims, to Turkey). The refugees in Greece, left with no fortune, no ...
State Quarters
This is a top pick! Hey, did you know that the European Union has the equivalent of state quarters? This was my bit of enlightenment for the day from our Greek language professor Gina. The Euro coins are all the same on one side, but each country can determine their ...
24 hours & 5 UNESCO World Heritage Sights!
This is a top pick! After pouring over maps of Greece, both mainland and islands, reviewing the list of World Heritage sights and working out our days left here before we commence our Eastern European tour, we decided to bite the bullet and brave the Greek ...
This Is the Way We Go to School
This is a top pick! ... , I have students from all sorts of majors with no foundation in communication at all. Plus we have a library of books about Greece, but not necessarily about communication concepts or modern Greek issues, so I've had to design assignments that are much ...
Sweet Jane
This is a top pick! Tonight, Click made us a dinner of pesto penne, salad dressed with balsamic vinegar and peach juice, cousin to the almighty melon juice the stores can't keep stocked at the hands of our students. We watched an episode of an MTV show on her computer ...
