I am a native in this world And think in it as a native thinks

Really, it's a tourist attraction
Hey, we were tourists and we were there.
The signs on this market were obviously intended to be understandable by non-Greeks, but one thing I've noticed over the past three days is how many businesses have their company names in Latin letters rather than Greek. Before this trip I'd only visited Greece briefly, and it was a long time ago, but I don't remember this being common then.
We've left Athens and are now heading for Crete, sailing through the winedark sea. I'm going to go sit on the balcony for a while and then go to bed.
