Greece is in my destinations. Also Athens too with all its history, In Sicily we got the Valle dei Templi denoting ancient greek architecture. We were a greece colony. So greek DNA is commonly found in sicilians.

Athens is embarrassingly ugly. I envy the Italian cities like Venice and Rome,which are full of wonders of sculpture and architecture.

I suppose Athens also has lots of archictures from ancient greek time. Also Sappho was exiled in Sicily and in Syracuse there is a statue in her honor. So thats make me feel even closer to her figure.

Wow,really? I did not know that ! (In case anyone is wondering she was exiled because she participated in a conspiracy along other young aristocrats,to overthrow the then tyrant of Lesbos.Because of her high status she was exiled instead of executed).
