Ancient Greece or Plata was a favorite shopping area. • From Pireans Port an Oceanos Cruise ship took the tourists to Mykonos Island, the land of windmills, white houses, narrowstreets and a pelican mascot. They also visited Rhodes.,Island where the deer and the Colossus (one of the seven wonders of the world) were seen. At Iindos, a climb of 286 stone steps portrayed the ancient temple of Athena. The old city temple was built by the Knights of St. John downtown. The next stop was at Kusadasi Port in Turkey, then on to Ephesus in Turkey where more excavations had taken place. St. Paul preached here as did St. John and Peter. To visit the smaller islands, the tourists had to climb up and down ladders on the side of the ship in the Aegean Sea. Patmos Island showed the monastery built at the time of St. John. The cave where he wrote Revelations was another stop. There were writings of St. Mark also. Sparta was a military empire once, but didn't attempt much building.

At Naupalia there was a fort associated with mariners. Mystra was the Florence of the Fast with restored churches and frescoes. The Dims Caves were visited on an underground river with the stalactites and stalagmites lit up. At Kalamata the silk worms were busy. At Methoni in southern Greece there was the Turkish -Venetian Citadel freed in 1827 from the Turks by British French and Russian fleets. Near Piles was the Palace of Nestor, the wise king of Pilos.

It was amazing to see how the many palaces, fortresses and temples were built in ancient times with blocks of stone cut and fitted together, without mortar. In a country of many earthquakes, they fell down with only a few pillars standing today. The museums were full of statues of gods, men, some women, horses, many with legs, arms, etc. missing. The food was excellent, especially on the boat cruises where desserts were a specialty. The native dish is mousaka, a mixture of meat, eggplant and cheese topping. The currency was dracma. A Canadian dollar, not very welcome, was worth about 99 dracma, whereas American bills could be worth 125-133 dracma. There were large fields of gypsy nomads, who did the farm work for the larger farmers, harvesting the different crops. Siestas were common about 10 a.m. because the men worked early in the morning. In the afternoon, when it was hot, siestas occurred again, and the stores closed. The woman of the household is the boss in Greece.
