Greece
In the spring of 2008 I decided to visit Lemnos, the birthplace of my father's father and mother. We toured the mainland for a few days, took the typical cruise to Mikinos, Ephesus, Patmos, Rhodes, Crete and Santorini. We jumped ship in Santorini for an extended stay and departed the day after Easter by airplane to Athens and then on to Lemnos. We spent 5 days and Lemnos and learned so much about the island. I met relatives I did not know about thanks to Bill Strambolis, the owner of the Lemnos Hotel.
