This Traveltalks visit to Greece starts in Athens, the country's capital. The first stop is the Acropolis, a plateau with ancient ruins, including the Parthenon. We then go to the downtown area with modern shops and hotels and outdoor markets. Modern and ancient architectural styles can be seen side by side. We then go to the island of Rhodes, in the Aegean Sea. The narrator emphasizes the fact that the Italian dictator Benito Mussolini spent much time here during World War II. In closing, the local inhabitants perform a traditional dance.
