Greece

Despite the economic problems that are hitting Greece very hard at the moment I truly would like to travel there someday. Since I, along with many worldwide, cannot afford to do any travel anytime in the near future this will a more or less virtual tour based what I wish to see.

Greece is considered by most to be the cradle of Western Civilization and is also where Democracy, the Olympic Games, Western Literature and many other things come from. Much of modern history owes its existence to Greece. Most if not all of us have or should have heard of people such as Herodotus, Plato, and Aristotle to name a few.

Once in Greece I suspect that you could spend a lifetime just sailing on the Mediterranean or Aegean Seas and exploring the ruins of antiquity that abound there.

Modern Greece of course also holds many charms not the least of which is the food.

With my next post I shall endeavor to go into more detail on how to get there and what should be seen.
