Visit Georgia Kanakaris in Levidi, Greece


Our last day in Athens, we took a two hour bus ride to Tripoli and then another 1/2 hour bus ride to Levidi, to visit Georgia's brother-in-law's 81 year old sister Georgia. They hadn't seen each other in 40 years. Geo's son Christoki picked us up at the bus in the village of Levidi and we spent some time in the family home. Then we had a wonderful Greek meal at Chris' restaurant, Melathron in Tripoli. It was fantastic, the restaurant has a large swimming pool, too. That day they were serving a group of 150 for an infant baptism celebration. We met Chris' daughter, Gina (also Georgia) who does clowning to keep the little ones happy. The last photo was taken from the street at Georgia's home looking at the village of Levidi. It was a fantastic way to end our month-long adventure.
