"I was slow to feel the joy of travel. My first journeys – because they were journeys too – were those of 'weaning' from my family, headed to the big city, Ioannina, Corfu, and later Athens, for school and studies. They took place under difficult and harsh conditions, which, no matter how much I would like to forget them over time, remain indelible."
"The travels of beauty, knowledge, and pleasure came later and reevaluated my view of travel, as I had 'known' it until then. I started traveling to the beautiful places of our homeland and felt great joy. And when I later experienced other countries, other people, and other cultures, travel took on an important place and priority in my life."
"They became one of the most beautiful pleasures and greatest joys; but also the most important sources of knowledge, experiences, and lessons for my life." F.I. Mitsis
