About Greece

The clichés survive contact with reality: cobalt water, white-cube villages, ruins on every headland. What surprises is the variety. Santorini is the postcard, but Naxos has the better beaches and farms; Crete is its own subcontinent with mountains, gorges and a millennia-old food culture; Athens runs on souvlaki joints and after-midnight rooftop bars.

Sail the Cyclades and you understand why the gods chose to live here. Hike the Mani peninsula or eat ouzo mezze in a Lesvos harbor and you realize how much of Greece never makes the postcards. Go slowly. Order another bottle of retsina.
