Saturday–Jeff
It’s summertime in Greece and life simply doesn’t get any better than that. If you’re an island person pick any Greek island and you’ll find magic there; but if for some reason your choice should not meet your mood or expectations, simply jump on a ferry and head to a different island for, of the more than 6000 Greek islands spread out across the Aegean and Ionian seas, 227 are inhabited.
For those who prefer a different experience, Greece’s mainland awaits you with a cosmopolitan Athens that’s the new toast of Europe, soaring mountains, deep valleys, breathtaking shorelines, fertile plains and ancient villages and sites––all peppered with locales steeped in classical history attesting to times when they served as the playgrounds of the gods.
But don’t take my word for it, this week the Hellenic Tourism Organization (GNTO) released a new video featuring the enchanting landscapes of Greece and historical landmarks. The video was created in collaboration with Netflix including clips from Netflix popular shows and series such as “Maestro in Blue,” “A perfect story,” “Beckett,” “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery” and “Lighthouse Lesvos.”
It’s your Greece, and your path. Hope to see you somewhere along it soon.

Alas, as wonderful as it would be, I won't be seeing you on any Greek islands, but I would like to recommend, to those who haven't seen it, a BBC series we just finished (6 episodes, second season "in the works") called "Ludwig." We watched it on BritBox, here in the states. A comedy-mystery, QUITE enjoyable. If you haven't seen it and have a chance to catch it on a channel near you, highly recommended. As, of course, are all the novels by all the authors appearing regularly on THIS channel. :-))) Catching up with several series, I'm currently reading Sujata's Mistress of Bhatia House. One of the great pleasures of life is the endlessness of avenues of escape from the terrors and horrors of today's daily life...
