Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Narrow streets of the Plaka district of Athens contain many nightclubs and taverns; but the nightlife of this old section of the city is not just for tourists. Tough-looking Greeks may surprise the visitor by performing a traditional dance with skilled grace; earning applause in the form of tumlers tossed on stage.
