Greece Cruising Guide
Greece (or Hellas) was named after mythological king Hellen from about 650BC. The name derives from the prefix Ýλ- (el- "sun, bright, shiny", (èlios, "sun")) + λÜς (las "rock, stone"). ΕλλÜς: "The land of the sun and the rock" which describes Greece quite accurately.Howard [ Just Imagine ] 22-Jul-2006
