BICYCLING IN GREECE.
Good Roads and Views Which Are
Simply Superb.

Good Roads and Views Which Are
Simply Superb.
The notion which foreigners have of
the roads of Greece, that they are bad
compared with those of other coun-
tries, is an error, says the Paris Daily
Messenger. A bicycle journey through
Italy and Sicily disabused me of that
| notion. The worst road that | ever
tried was between Caserta and Naples,
and the next worst was that leading to
Rome from the north. There are, OF
course. some bad roads in Greece, but
even Sicily. to say nothing of worse
roads in Italy, cured me OF complain
ing against Greece For a pure pleas
ure ride the road between Tripolitza
and Sparta would be hard to match
anywhere in the world. 1t is in capt
ia! condition. and. on account OF it's
gentle grade involves very little walk
Ing. Six hours suffice for the journey
in either direction and the view either
way is superb. The ride through Ae-
tolia and Acarnania, regions consid-
cred half-civilized in the classical pc
Rod pf Greek history, but always fine
in natural beauty, with big lakes and
rivers that move in majesty" Ia rare
thing in Greece, hedged in by high
mountains is perhaps the best in
Greece. One rides from the shore of
