Athens & Heraklion
Athens & Heraklion: A Greek Odyssey
“Athens, the eye of Greece, mother of arts and eloquence.” – John Milton.
“There is a kind of flame in Crete – let us call it “soul” – something more powerful than either life or death. There is pride, obstinacy, valor, and together with these something else inexpressible and imponderable, something which makes you rejoice that you are a human being, and at the same time tremble.” – Nikos Kazantzakis
