A strangely similar idyll

UNTIL recently, if you were to ask someone for their image of Greece, they may have mentioned olive trees, whitewashed churches and turquoise seas.

Nowadays, these images are less idyllic and more economic. However, while the financial woes exist, the crystal waters and whitewashed churches haven’t gone anywhere.

Greece as a holiday destination is still very much open for business as I found out on a recent trip to Crete.
