To Greece and back
Our first stop in Greece is at some private game reserve in the middle of nowhere, or, more specifically, in the area of Soufli, and more specifically still, at an establishment called Eurothirama. Country-quaint delights. For, up the winding road, through the rolling verdant Mediterranean hills, there is a settlement, of stone buildings, tiled roofs, verandahs – like coming home. And then there are people, in the lookout tower taking in the distant game animals grazing, seated around picnic-like tables and partaking in family-style meals, running through the grass and enjoying the sun and fresh air.
