Other that the UK, Greece is the only country I have travelled extensively. It is a truly beautiful land, and I have met some wonderful people there. If I was going to sell up and move to another country, a few places tucked away in the Greek countryside would be top of my list.
As a photographer, I always feel truly inspired when I am there and have thousands and thousands of slides and photos going back years and years.

Yep....you should consider staying a little while and seek out a place to stay off the beaten track, where local life has not been diluted too much by tourism. It is a most rewarding experience.
A couple of years ago I was looking for a temple in the Peloponnese mountains and decided to stay over in a village called Andritsaina. It was like going through a time warp...so tranquil. The only place to eat was some old girl's house. She had put a few tables in her living room, and some of the old folks in the village went there to eat. Everything was cooked on a calor gas stove, and I am still unsure what I had to eat. She served really cloudy home made wine that gave me one of the worst hangovers I have had for 20 years.
I found the temple the following day and photographed it through bleary eyes. Wouldn't change a moment of it
Cheers, Steve.
