Greecetraveler

Whether you know it yet, or not, you are a “philhellene”—a lover of Greece, the Greeks, and all things Greek. Whether you visited Greece briefly in childhood (with your parents, on a scaled-down version of the 19th century’s “Grand European Tour”), spent one giddy long-ago collegiate summer backpacking through the Greek islands, or have reached your 50s or 60s or 70s never having gotten farther than collecting Greek travel brochures studded with photographs of temples, sunsets and the wine-dark Aegean, you are a philhellene, and it’s high time you got the stamps in your passport to prove it.
