Greece's cities carry three thousand years of street life: Athens is the essential first stop, Thessaloniki the food-loving second city, and the old towns of the islands and the Peloponnese are cities in miniature. Beyond them, these are the towns Greeks themselves escape to: the winter-weekend stone villages, the neoclassical island capitals, the fortress towns.
