Once known for smog, traffic and tacky architecture, Athens is a city reformed thanks to fortunes brought by the 2004 Summer Olympics. Spotless parks and streets, an ultra-modern subway, new freeways, an accessible airport and all signs in perfect English make the city easily negotiable. Meriting more than a stopover en route to the islands, sophisticated Athens sites include many pillars of Western history, from the Acropolis to the Temple of Olympian Zeus, as well as treasures in the National Archaeological Museum.

On our early morning walk we happened across this museum that was unknown to us. Being closed, we resolved to return later and were rewarded with an account of terrifying events in Greece’s past. One of the curator said her father was imprisoned on Makronissos for 3 years during the latter half of the 1940s, so she gave heartfelt testimony to some of the terrible occurrences. From the ruins of World War II more horror was in store for Greece, with a civil war raging until 1949. It was during this that so many from the Communist side were imprisoned on Makronissos. They suffered deprivations of all kinds, torture and massacre. It was only in 1974 after the fall of the Military Junta that Makronissos was finally closed as a prison.
