My beloved Greece...

[@stephenbirds5169]

I was there firstly in 71 aged 8 with my dads boss,s family. We stayed 2 weeks (somewhere !!) in 5 star luxury, me and boss,s son picked up every morning by "Nicos" and ferried around the island in his open fishing boat meeting his friends(customers) , dropping off vegetables, fruits etc. Gave me aspirations. Can,t afford nowadays but what a life changer that was. Totally blown away at such a young age. WOW.

It was beautiful back then. I still remember the lovely walks & unhurried lifestyle. As everyone moves to cities with the false assumption that bigger is better, these places are becoming more & more rare. Let's preserve them while we can.
