Dogs behind the steering wheel of a car on Kythera, the changing of the guard at the Presidential Palace in Athens, former leper colonies on Spinalonga, the magnificence of the Acropolis, making yamista at Arolithos, visiting Suda Bay War Cemetery, the aphrodisiac powers of dittany, 3000 year old olive trees at Gortyn, and a Smart car made of stainless steel in Syntagma Square that has a sign advising you to "Hand Wash Only and Do Not Iron" the car, You Can't Drive to Greece shares an historical and, often, quirky, offbeat approach to the delights of ancient, modern and off-the-tourist track Greece.
And we haven't even mentioned the pristine, crystal-clear, warm waters of the beach at Elafonisos.

Harry not only trained and competed himself but mentored new bodybuilders of all ages and, in his role as a Physical Culture Consultant, inspired people to achieve the best they can, regardless of their health and fitness levels.
Harry was a larger than life character with a wicked sense of humour.
Mr. Natural: A Body of Work celebrates Harry’s career in bodybuilding. Stefan compiled this book to celebrate the vastness of Harry’s lifelong accomplishments as a bodybuilder.
