We have been in Greece for a month now and have a wonderful experience with the Greek people. Warm, helpful and a lively bunch they are! First off, some fashion observations- Women-skinny jeans are out/high waist jeans are in Men- are running tall dark and handsome If you are coming onboard- dress accordingly! Now about the Greek Islands. We are exploring some of the islands in the Northern Ionian. Each has its own charm and history.  Lefkada is one island I particularly enjoyed.  Some say it gets its name from the white cliffs (Lefko means white in Greek) on its southernmost cape or others believe it's named after Odyessus' friend Lefko. In Greek mythology, the ancient Greek poet, Sappho, jumped from the white cliffs because she wanted to rid herself of her love for Phaon. The Goddess Aphrodite also decided to end her life this way after she discovered that her love, Adonis, had died.  The spot where all this jumping occurred has a nickname of the Ladies Leap....
