Somewhere, subconsciously, we all feel we have a stake in Greece. The language, political systems, values and ethics of the Western world are inextricably connected to this beautiful country's ancient civilization. Visitors often arrive with high expectations and romantic notions, muddled snippets of myths, history and hearsay mingled in their minds. Those experiencing the country for the first time are likely to be captivated. Greece evokes strong feelings, and even months of travel would scarcely be enough to do this stunning country justice.
