move through this; ancient
today the glory of the pa •' is
nevi'r far away. In Athens, for
example, y<m live in a nsode.n
capital built around the Sumber-
inwr vestiges of antiquity. In other
sections of the country you > troll
through magnificent ruini- of tem-
ple.- that have krown into the
landscape of idyllic coastal moun-
tains. You follow sea trail* taken
by galleys of old to tranquil,
dreaming inlands that are almost
too beautiful to be real. Every-
where you go, art and naturi wel-
come you. Good local transporta-
tion and bargain trans-Atlam ic
fares, combined with thrilling
sightseeing and fine weather,
make Greece a must for thrift
season travel during the winter
and spring.
As climates go, the dry, warm
one of Greece is about as good
as you're likely to find, for the
sun is a 12-month-a-year in.-titu-
tion in thi. lovely land. In .Janu-
ary, February and March there
are occasional rains and cool
winds, but by the time Easter
comes round, it's summer.
Knowing what a beautiful and
fascinating country they have, the
Greeks are setting out determined-
ly to make it better than ever In
providing "extras" in the way of
attractions. Foremost of these
"extras" for 1951 will be Greek
Homecoming Year, proclaimed by
King Paul for Greeks and friends
of Greece throughout the worid
to commemorate the 130th year
of Greek independence. The Home-
coming will be highlighted by a
varied program of special events,
including a revival of the cele-
brated Delphic Festival.
When you come to Greece,
which is one of the European
Travel Commission
tries, Athens is
p'ace you come to
inexhaustible city,
is short, its main
seen in a few crowded days. The
most renowned is, of course, the
sheer 520-foot hi^'h Acropolis Hill,
on top of which the Parthenon
and other milleniums-old architec-
tural monuments stand in dazzling
whiteness under the golden sun.
This is one of the
of the world; on the
a month when you
and view it by the
full moon it is even more wonder-
ful. While in Athens you should
also visit the famou- museums,
the Tower of the Winds, the
Temple of Jupiter, Hardrian's
Arch, the theatre of Dionysos, and
Socrates' prison.
And when you are abroad at
night, be sure to wander freely
about the streets. The Athenian?
like to gather about a bottle of
their fiery brandy or wine, and
talk and sing. As you walk along,
you will catch glimpses through
open doorways of these informal
gatherings, and you will be en-
chanted by the sound of laughter
and r>ongs, accompanied by a man-
dolin or a guitar.
Equipped with a number of
fii-t-cla-.- hotels and restaurants,
and centrally located, this en-
trancing capital city can aiso be
used as headquarters for numer-
ous trips inland and along the
coast, as well as for excursions
via steamer, caique, or plane to
the nearby Aegean island or the
more distant ones in the Ionian
Sea.
Your travel agent can help you
plan a circular tour of 10 days
or two v.eek out of Athens, ar
rani'ing your itinerary so that
y >u will be able to spend each
r ight in a different Grecian towi
Delphi, Corinth, Olyrnpia o!
Nauplia on the mainland, or on
i sand.- like Corfu, Mykonos <r
Kantorini. The larger i 'ands of
Crel<- and Rhodes have especially
fir accommodation, for travelers.
For sightseeing out of Athens,
group trips are very economical
and easy to arrange, either with
travel agencies or with other
' • a' your hotel. Private car ,
which co.-t from ?2) to $71 for
an all-day excur ion if rented by
a single person, come to only
?' fin to each when taken
fey a group of five.
Within easy train or motoring
distance from the capital are
scores of places arid sites you have
heard about all jotjj life Mara-
thon, with St# view over the fa-

nearby mountain-top ruin of the
Temple of Aphrodite; Olyrnpia.

l'i.e largest of 'le Greek island*
i... Crete, known as the cradle of
European civ ligation, lis cultural
interest, wide variety of scenery,
and interesting customs make i'
mi of Gree e'.- most attractive
spots. It may be reached via an
all-day boat ride from Piraeus or
a oi'< -hour plane trip from Athens
Rhodes, lying off the coast of
A-ia Minor, cat be reached by
plane from Athens in two hours.
From the standpoint of tourism,
Rhodes is perhaps the highest
developed of all the Greek islands.
In addition to its scenic beauty
and historic interest, it has sever-
al hotels (including one in the
luxury cIb.-L two theaters, sea
bathing, golf and tennis.
Athens is less than eight hour
by air from Paris, and through
flight- can be made from New
York in approximately 24 hours
on the trans-Atlantic airlines.
Steamship sailings are frequent
to Piraeus from Marseilles, Genoa
and Naples. From New ^ rk the
American Export Line.-, Greek
Line, Hellenic Line. Ltd., and Con-
cordia Line have frequent sailing-
Fifteen day air excursion tick-
ets from New York to Athens
cost $659.10 from January through
March, as against the regular
round-trip rate of $i 40.70. The
Hellenic Mediterranean Lines,
whose ships make at least two
sailings a month from Marseilles,
give a reduction of 35 per cent
on round-trips completed between
December and April, and the trans-
Atlantic steamship lines also of-
fer substantia! reductions on sail- ,
ings from New York.
In Greece, hotels are relatively
inexpensive. For instance, in
Athens, the de luxe Grand Bretag-
ne, King George and Acropolis
Palace offer a room and bath for
around $'< a day, plus a charge
of 15 per cent for service and 15
per eent for taxes. Prices are
about 40 per cent less at the first-
class New Angleterre, Grand and
Minerva, a- well a. at the popular
suburban hotel- in Ameroussion
and Kifie.-ia. Breakfast costs about
$1 in the best hotels, and di ner
comes close to $1 in a top restaur-
ant, but you'll also find good

are numerous and good, and a lot
of them are American. The start-
ing price is 20c, and thereafter
the rate is 17c a kilometer, which
works out to about 27c a mile.
For American visitor.-. Greece
has reduced frontier formalities
to the minimum. No visa is ne-
cessary. Any amount of foreign
currency may be brought into
the country, providing it is de-
clared. And holiday purchases to
a total value of $100 may be ex
ported without licenses, duties or
