Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Ory that was Greege is self evident in Athens where it is it to escape the beauty of the past. However; once you have seen photographed the relics of other days; says the writer; Athens has little to offer. Better you should get out of the city and wander the rural areas of the country; where the real history and the real character of the Greek people resides. There you'll find friendship and beauty.
