I did it in three the first time, but then didn’t copy it the right way, so I went in again and it started all over again. Headed home today. Cheers from Greece!
Ah-ha!

Three's still very good! I could see you weren't celebrating an awful lot for a one..
How was Greece? Must've been amazing! You'll have to tell us more, much more..-greenman
Just a short overview...

Amazing trip. Did Athens (the Parthenon of course) first and then got on a bus and went to Nauplion, Olympia, Delphi, Kalambaka and Meteora. Saw lots of archaeological ruins, the original Olympic stadium, monasteries, etc. Did a Greek cooking and dance class at one location. Opa! Then we went back to Athens and got on a ship and sailed the Greek isles and also a stop in Turkey... Mykonos, Ephesus, Patmos, Rhodes, Crete and finally Santorini. Had very good guides who gave us the history and mythologies along the way. Most amazing was how advanced the ancient civilizations were. Crete had the largest and oldest ancient civilization in Europe 4000 years ago, and very advanced for their times. They had flush toilets, water pipes, central heat, etc. Just amazing. I think it was Crete where I saw some political graffiti that said "Smash Zionism" "Free Palestine" and "Every Israeli Soldier is a War Criminal". There was a lot of graffiti in some of the larger cities, some of it very artistic. A great trip overall.
Wonderful!

Goes without saying I'd love the archaeological sites (my degree was in Anthropology) but just seeing the area, the people, the culture and the food would be great, too.
Our Ancient Greek professor in College threw a party for the class once, she had some Greek delicacies she'd made like Moussaka, very good. And there's a good local Greek fest centered around the major Orthodox Church in Columbus, more good food. Friendly people, I've always found.
Did you notice any anti-American feeling there? I wondered if Trump's unpopularity had preceded you..-greenman
Surprisingly…

Almost all of the people we met were from the US, mostly from California and New York. I wondered if the tour people planned it that way to avoid friction in light of recent events. The river cruise we went on last summer was much more diverse internationally… but that was before dt was elected, of course. People didn’t really talk about politics. Some were there on a religious pilgrimage of sorts as we visited some of the sites the disciples of Jesus had been. We visited the cave on Patmos where John had supposedly written the book of Revelations. Ephesus was very interesting, too. Also, Delphi… where people went to consult with the oracles. Fascinating history. Kinda odd how many consider ancient myths and religious beliefs as just “myths” while taking their own beliefs in miracles and such as literal fact.
