- Very nice lens!! It's an absolute truth these Greek islands are like heaven on earth. As I am history lover Delos or Crete both are my kind of islands. These islands are famous for the ancient ruins. I have enjoyed a lot there.

- My sister went to Greek back in 2007
and she has nothing but good to say about
the country and the residents.
Everyone there seemed so friendly and
willing to help her out wherever she went.
And not to mention the beautiful beaches.
Cheers

I will comment here again once we do.
Great Work
