This is Vasiliki (aka 'Vasilo'), and I'd like to tell you a little bit about her. Paddy and Joan met this lovely girl on their arduous unplanned trudge up from Porto Kagio, at the peak of the narrow isthmus that marks the beginning of the southernmost promontory of Mani. 1/7

Feel like itās important to note that statues are not, in fact, photographs.
Statues of Queen Cleopatra confirm that she had Hellenistic (Greek) features, distinguished by light skin, a drawn-out nose and thin lips. 2/2

first, a detailed map of the route the Leigh Fermors followed based on our reading of their documentary sources; and second, an assessment of the utility of using least-cost analysis to model the routes of historical travellers."
