Traveling to Greece?

My screenwriter friend Leon Capetanos is of Greek descent, and he's traveled many times to the country. In fact, one of his movies, Tempest, which he wrote with the great American director Paul Mazursky, was shot in the Peloponnese, at the tip of one of those finger peninsulas, the area known as the "Mani." (Paul said he used to sing "We're in the Mani" every morning on location).

When I was planning my research trip for Night of the Furies, Leon had one recommendation: Harry's Greek Travel Guide. This is not a guidebook, but a massive website run by a Greek-American (or American-Greek) named Harry Grant. Harry rivals the ancient geographer Pausanias in the depth and breadth of his knowledge of Greece. The site is almost overwhelming. But it's very well designed and absolutely invaluable. If you're planning a trip to Greece, I strongly recommend you take a trip through Harry's website first.
