Kyklades? - or, hang on, is it Rhodes?

by stoupaduck Thu Oct 22, 2009 2:24 pm

Not the Kyklades, nor Rhodes - the name of the island reflects a character from Greek Mythology

by Guest Thu Oct 22, 2009 3:09 pm

Hmm - is it Aegina?

by stoupaduck Thu Oct 22, 2009 4:02 pm

Nor Aegina

Thassos; island; northern (even though you put 9 dashes in to confuse); Greeks and take your pick from Romania, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia

Yes, it is Thassos, and most of the rest of it it right (sorry about the number of dashes, can't count, clearly). the end bit isn't quite correct, but I'm not going to split hairs - good of me, innit. Phrases from Brochures/Guides - Page 8 Icon_wink

Close enough to be almost perfect Phrases from Brochures/Guides - Page 8 807376

I thought I'd been super-sneaky, going for another Rhodian place, too. Phrases from Brochures/Guides - Page 8 158

The guidebook I quoted from reckons the place is called "PRASSONISSI" but who am I to argue.

Stuck, very stuck! - Mycenean times?

Hahahaha. I've forgotten where this is!! I'll have to look it up and get back to you.

by Guest Tue Nov 03, 2009 6:08 pm

Not Mycenean, I'm afraid. It's on the mainland - there's a clue!

by Guest Tue Nov 10, 2009 12:51 pm

It's a big famous place.
