Hello my friends.

I have finally found the time to upload my Greece pics from 2 weeks ago. I was in Montreal for the past three days (awesome city, by the way) so I finally sat down today and uploaded my pics. There are many of them so enjoy! I have broken them down into three categories:

1) Athens
2) Zakynthos (note the amazing light blue colour of the ocean at Navagio Beach - the one with the sunken ship. Also note teh two "bonus" pics :) )
3) Sterea Ellada (Central Greece): Mount Parnassos, Tithorea, and Elatia (the last two are my parents' place of birth)


Athens:

This is our land (just outside my father's village):

This is my grandparent's home in my mom's village. The village is called Tithorea and it is on Greece's second or third largest mountain called Mount Parnassos. It is truly a paradise:

beautiful!!!!!!!!

WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW !

These are the MOST BEAUTIFUL REAL, NON-Brochure PHOTOS E-V-E-R !

WHat a dramatic landscape ! BEAUTY in superlative degree ! BLESSED nature !

No wonder why NAVAGIO and MYRTOS are the world's most photographed beaches.

The bluest of the blues away from the shore and as you approach this AMAZING gradient of colours ..... WOW Leafs ! WOW !

I SERIOUSLY cannot find the words ! Im just staring at my screen, IN AWE - you really brought home closer tonight !

Those blue skies, those greek islands, the greek inland - BLESSED BLESSED BLESSED ....

You are ONE LUCKY man to have seen it all and taken in ALL THIS BEAUTY this summer.

Thank you EVER so much for this gift ! Every single photo brought back memories and sights, sounds, smells of home.

Amazing photos leafs!! Great job!

That hotel you stayed at in Zakynthos look like the one my uncle owns. What is the name of it?

man you should learn to use this camera. Photos of these wondeful places couldn't be taken so badly. by the way, did you ask the permission of these topless ladies for photos and post the photos here? If you didn't, you did a shameful thing.

Wow...thanks for the compliment Fora. Yes, some are blury but the majority came out fine. Sorry, I am not a professional photographer so if my pictures do not please you, then take some yourself and show us how it is done. With respect to the ladies, everyone took pictures of eachother throughout the day. We were all in a small group together on a one-day tour of the island of Zakynthos by boat. I am sure I was in many of their pictures and I could care less if they are posted on the net. Secondly, the fact that they were good looking and topless meant that many people were taking pics of them. These are girls we met and partied with at night so....I hope that answers your question.

Christos, Mr.T, and Poliochni I am glad you enjoyed the pics. Being there was incredible. My eyes have never seen anything like what I saw in Zakynthos.

Take care.

Leafs, I expected no less from you and you didn't disappoint :okay: You took some really nice photos... and the bonus shots were worth a lot in gold :)

Nai file!!!

My mother's parents are from Tithorea and they spend summers there in the house that I have shown in the pictures! It is a majestic place I tell you! Parnassos is one of the most beautiful mountains in Greece! Just 15 minutes away is my father's home town called Elatia. The Acrpolis Rally course passed right through the mountains behind the village. My father was there and said it was amazing!

Great pix!Zakinthos seems the caraibics!!

nice pics, delicious water!!
