The light, the empty beaches, beaches which could be only reached by boat or bus and walking over hills.....<br />Not to forget the wonderful local people I've met during the years. Greeks who always welcomed me and my friends or whoever I was traveling with, welcomed in a way as I belong to their family.<br />So, I'm so happy to have you as a "blog friend", giving me the chance for a "trip" to Greece, even if only by "armchair-traveling"!<br />But - would pack my bag 'tout de suite' - if I only could! Best time for me was always mid to late September, not many tourists, well - in the old days.<br />Kept this wonderful post for the end of my blog-traveling, and just say Thank YOU, Merci, Danke!<br />Karin<br />LaPouyettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06793966763489506817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-340383022614454708.post-14398000020505548882013-07-08T02:55:52.545+03:002013-07-08T02:55:52.545+03:00Hello there!
