Here are some comments from Erik Johnson about Greece.

Miracle place: Lasithi Plateau - Isle of Crete. The White Mountains - Samarian Gorge.
Of all the places I've been, this was the best by far. I've heard from others who experienced “the miracle" in Crete.

I've heard from a number of people who went to Greece and felt great. Scarcely any need for avoidance, and the improvement was spectacular.

I toured Crete back in the mid seventies, and felt fine the whole time.
When I went back in the early nineties, I was startled at feeling plumes where I hadn't felt them before. Some in Iraklion. Hania in particular.
I walked the city fortress walls that encircle Heraklion and had to evade a few plumes along the way.
Athens was troublesome, especially around the Acropolis and Plaka, yet I had much more energy climbing Lycabettus Hill to St. George’s temple.
Got a pretty good smack right at the Olympic Stadium, which really slowed me down as I walked the perimeter.

> Belgrade is a good location because the buildings are mostly made of cement.
Greece shares this trait, as most of the structures are made with concrete. And mostly it felt pretty good.
But some of the new hotels and museums were absolute murder.
I did not find one bad place high up in the White Mountains or the Lasithi Plateau.
Delphi had a few plumes.

This morning I was talking with a Vietnam veteran.
I had to monitor where I stood while we talked, moving around in accordance with wind direction so as not to be downwind of him.
He was pretty well doused with "X.” We were discussing his health problems.
If I moved to another country and he came to visit, I would still be unable to stand downwind of him.
I had this same effect in Crete, many years ago.
The entire area of the Eastern coastline, White Mountains, Lasithi Plateau, Samarian Gorge... all good.
But when I was with European tourists, I had to avoid them exactly as I have to avoid people who pass through certain areas of Incline Village, so the difference is not great and it is all about the same to me.
