at tired and weary bodies,
Ve also submitted to an
intriguing “ionithermic”
treatment that uses electrical
stimuli to reportediy trim
cellulite and fat. “You've lost
five inches,” my attendant
declared, despite my clothes
exhibiting otherwise.

Our next port of call was
the little town of Katakolon
in Greece. We took a taxi to
Olympia, site of the original
Olympic Games. The ruins
were Interesting, but it was
too warm for me, so we
returned to the cool enclave
of the ship by way of a brie?
detour to shop for unique
ceramic wall plaques.

The fourth day found us
in Athens, where we toured
the Acropolis on one of the

struck by the smaller Temple
of Erechtheion supported by
six maiden figures, the
famous Caryatids.

Our last port of call was
Kusadasi, the jumping-off
point for our tour to
Ephesus. It was hard to tear
ourselves away from the
ancient city, But when we
did, ] took a $3 cab ride to
the lovely old Hotel Kismet
for a dip in the Acgean Sea.
My mother went shopping
instead. Leather goods,
embroidered cushion covers,

rt

jewelry and, of course, car-
pets are all great buys in
Turkey.

{n Heraklion, Crete —
site of the ancient Minoan
ruins of the Palace of
Knossos — we left the ship.
Most passengers continued
on for another six nights (12
nights’ total) to Santorini,
Gythion, Malta,
Civitavecchia (Rome) and
Livorno (Florence /Pisa).
When the sun set that
evening, it was not without
some envy that we thought
of them sailing off to collect
more memories of
Mediterranean magic.
