ATHENS, May 23.-The little
known Greek islands that are scat
tered along the mainland often are
overlooked by tourists, yet each holds
a diversity of interest. There Is San
torin, island of fire and wine. There
Is Crate, with its heavily wooded
mountains and vast. reconstructed
palace and ruins. Lying close to Asia
Minor there is Chios of the mastic
groves, those peculiar little trees that
drop glittering white gum, and Samos,
noted for its wines.
Mytilene, where Sappho lived, and
closer to the mainland lies Skyros,
where quaint furniture is hand-carved
and bright embroideries are made
Spetsae, where fashionable Atheni-
ans go for the Summer, is an ideal
place from April to November. The
shepherds pipe to their straying fiocks,
the fishing boats set out at twilight,
their orange and white sails Tapping
to the breeze. The hotel Is splendid
and there are numberless rocky coves
and beaches in which to bathe; there
is tennis and sailing and, in season,
dinner and dancing under the pines,
beside the cool and crystal waters.
