Sunset over the Acropolis from a rooftop bar
Gorges open, hills in flower, sea still cold
Midnight fireworks, roast lamb, smashed pots
Four islands, one ferry line, one summer
Empty ancient sites, and a warm October sea
Athens charter base to the Saronic islands
Byzantine churches, buzzing markets and waterfront tavernas.
Byzantine monasteries and wild mountain villages
Venetian towns and turquoise Ionian bays
Venetian harbours, Minoan palaces, mountain gorges
Caldera, then mountains, then nothing at all
Ancient theatres, oracles and clifftop monasteries
Citadels, a Byzantine ghost city, a rock in the sea
Ancient ruins by day, rooftop bars by night.
