        Olympia, Greece. A grand, majestic name as a center for the worship of Zeus in the 10^th Century B.C. Right next to Athens and Pompeii, its appearance only grants half the fame. The legends, the history, and the secrets behind the name lend substance. It's also why everyone on board

        The city of Nessebar in Bulgaria is a life-size maze of cobble streets and a Byzantine neighborhood. I believed that it was one of a kind. However, when I arrived in the Cycladic Mykonos of Greece, my original theory was proven far from correct.

        Honestly, I don't know much about Apollo and the goddess Artemis. Sure, they're one of the 12 Olympians in Greek Mythology. Well, as for the details, I learned a great deal on the island of Delos in Greece.

        The geography of a place is often the deciding factor that shapes its history. There wouldn't be an Egyptian civilization without the Nile River. Without the Euphrates and Tigris Rivers, there would be no Mesopotamia, including Turkey. And there wouldn't be Greece

        People know Shakespeare and his poems. Although the language is a bit… quirky, to say the least, people adore him. People also adore Greek history, so they should love Homer.

        When something becomes old, it is often viewed as a negative sign. But sometimes, being old and crippled can mean a resurrection, a boast of good revival. The medieval village of Pyrgi was set up as the best example. It was built in its present form, featuring heavy gates

        The island of Khios is part of a vast ancient empire that dates back to 7,000 B.C. So, it's safe to say that not all villages have survived, but the few that still stand appear to have been built after that year.

        Imagine having a house up in the mountains that seems to hover in the air. Wow, imagine living in it. Imagine surviving without the internet, roads, or cars, and reaching any other civilization meant walking straight down.

        Mount Olympus is the place of the Greek gods—twelve, to be exact. They are the Twelve Olympians, rulers in each aspect. Everything revolved around these gods, the Earth, and beyond.

        It's hilarious how some things can start again after being destroyed. At times, it becomes impossible to exist anymore. What goes around comes around, and the return can be excellent.

        Today, I visited Rhodes, Greece's most easterly island in the Aegean Sea. You shouldn't be confused with Rhode Island on the east coast of the USA, or a "road," as in the strip of land cars travel on. They are entirely different. How much? Well, you'

        And I thought the lemons were taking over the world. Witnessing the activity on Crete in the Aegean Sea of Greece, the olive headquarters of the operations, I knew a contest was quickly approaching for those two plants. Crete is the most southerly point in Europ
