You're so right. I took my sons to mainland Greece about 8 years ago and it was amazing. We visited Olympia, Corinth, Athens, Delphi, Mycenae, Epidaurus and so many other places associated with Greek mythology - an absolute incredible holiday, and such beautiful, mountainous scenery. We were based in a little seaside village called Tolon very near a town called Argos! What's more it was such a cheap holiday, even though Greece had, at that time only recently joined the Euro and prices had just started to rise. However, we only went for a fortnight, and you really need a good month or longer to do it justice, and visit some of the remoter areas such as Monemvasia on the pelopponese peninsula.
