Hi Peter,
Where in Greece?
I lived outside Athens for about 3 years back in the early 90's. I lived near Glyfada. If you know where that is my house was right off Leoforos Vouliagmenis, not too far from the airport/US Airforce Base.

| Welcome, made me want to get some Feta out of the fridge. My future wife is part Greek and has me hooked on Feta, lamb, Saganaki, and Kalmata Olives.
Stay safe and welcome, J Last edited by PTR-Jason on Sun 13-Apr-2008 01:35; edited 1 time in total |

| Hey petde. Glad to see another Greek member.
Both my parents are Greek and I have been there 3 times. We have a family house in Athens, specifically Neo Iraklio (Attiki). One day I will go back to visit relatives. |

I lived in Greece myself for a year back in the mid 70's. I was near a town called Araxos on a Greek Air Force Base. The nearest bigger town was Patras. I believe we were about 150 miles or so south of Athens (without looking at a map to refresh my memory). We were on the Ionian Sea. I wish I could remember what part of Athens we used to hang out at. I think that it wasn't too far from the Airport.

| petde, are you a career firefighter or volunteer?
I remember in the 90's when I first went to Greece. I was just a young boy. I begged my grandfather to drive me to a fire station so I could see how they operated as I had seen a police station. When I got to the fire station, they had this lady working there as a firefighter that looked like she just jumped out of Playboy..I mean smoking hot!. Anyhow, I told one of the firefighters, in Greek, who I was and that I wanted to see the place and the trucks, etc. He started giving me a tour and then his commanding officer came out and stopped him from showing me anything else and asked that we leave the fire station. I was hurt and stunned. My grandfather spoke to the CO and he told him they didnt want any sabotage. I was a young kid and my grandfather could care less. WTH am I possibly going to sabotage? I ended up getting a picture next to a Greek fire engine in Syntagma Square a couple of weeks later and the firefighters didnt mind. |
