ONE DAY, SOUTH FLORIDA WILL BE STRUCK BY A MUCH MORE FEROCIOUS HURRICANE THAN THOSE THAT HIT LAST YEAR — AND EXPERTS PREDICT POTENTIALLY CATASTROPHIC RESULTS BY MARTIN MERZER mmerzer@MiamiHerald.com

Seven feet of seawater swamps Key Biscayne and 45 miles of coastline from Miami Beach to Deerfield Beach. Saltwater surges through some houses in Hollywood, Coconut Grove and elsewhere. Waist-deep freshwater blankets vast regions of suburban Broward and MiamiDade counties. Ferocious winds crush tens of thousands of roofs and gut numerous office buildings. Residents who defy orders to evacuate skyscrapers in Miami Beach, on Hollywood’s beach and along Miami’s downtown corridors could be blown out of their apartments. Power outages persist for months rather than weeks. According to simulations conducted for The Miami Herald by scientists at the National Hurricane Center and interviews with a wide range of experts, those are not merely theoretical worst-case scenarios. They are realistic sketches of

what could occur when South Florida is blasted by hurricanes stronger than the versions of Katrina and Wilma that struck the region last year. ‘‘It is not inconceivable that hundreds or even thousands of Floridians who fail to take action, and who fail to evacuate if they are in evacuation zones, can lose their lives,’’ said Craig Fugate, Florida’s director of emergency management. In fact, some of those scenarios would have become reality last year, the experts say, if the area had been hit by the versions of Katrina that devastated Louisiana or the version of Wilma that wrecked portions of Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula. In general, the odds are low that a storm of the intensity and breadth contemplated in this article will strike in any given year. But some day — maybe this year, maybe next year, maybe during the next decade — but without 1067.500

GREECE A PLACE THAT REMAINS STILL When most people think of holidays in Greece they think of the Greek islands. The idea of all these islands, each different from the next, the whitewashed houses and beautiful beaches is an enticement to anyone. But lost in the commotion over Mykonos, Santorini, Rhodes and Corfu is the fact that some of the most beautiful and interesting areas in Greece are not on the islands, but on the mainland in places like the Peloponessos. (or Peloponnese, Peloponnisos, or any number of spellings. Name the first Capital of modern Greece. Give up? It wasn't Athens or Thessaloniki. It was Naphlio. At the time the Peloponessos was all there was of Greece since it was the first part of the country to be liberated from the Turks in 1821 and in fact nearly went back to the Turks when the heroes of the revolution began fighting amongst themselves. But such is life in Greece. For many, the Peloponnesos is the true Greece and to them the narrow isthmus of Corinth is all that separates them from a world of Albanians, Vlachs, Bulgarians and Macedonians, who are all Greeks to us. But the Peloponessos can be said to be the heart and soul of Greece and though it has been left off the tourist map that was especially painted for Americans, it is as worth a place to visit as any ten islands combined.

DESTINATION HYATT

The moment you arrive YOU IMMEDIATELY GET TRANSPORTED TO A MOMENT BACK IN TIME

From Myceneae to Sparta to Mistra to the guns of Navarone, the Peloponessos has seen its share of history. This is where Paris stole Helen from King Menelaous and where Agamemnon set forth with his ships to Troy, only to be murdered in his bathtub by his wife when he returned. It is a land of rugged mountains, green valleys, the ancient games of Olympia, and a coastline with some of the best beaches in Greece. What follows is a description of the different regions of the Peloponessos. Athens is a Wonderful City when you get to know it. But most guidebooks are as confusing as Athens seems to be for those unfamiliar with it. Not my Athens Survival Guide. My Athens Guide makes the city and surrounding areas simple and enjoyable by following my steps and just doing what I do. Includes restaurant reviews, hotels, archaeology sites, nightlife and more and hundreds, maybe thousands of photos. You can print out the whole thing and take it to Greece. It is the only Guidebook you will need and it is free. Recommended by Travel Guru Rick Steves and even used by Athenians themselves. Read my step by step approach on"How to go to a Greek Island" which will tell you how to to everything from the moment you leave your hotel, to buying metro tickets, ferry tickets, finding your boat, going to an island and getting home by dinner.

INDEX OF GREECE WEBSITES I am continually adding and updating this page and the hundreds of other Greece pages to which it is linked. There are over 5000 pages of information so for easy navigation there is an index at www.greecetravel.com which has all my pages. It is the best way to find your way around my site. Many people use this as their home page. If you have a moment click on that link and then save it to your favorite places or as your homepage. There is now a Chinese Language version of my Greece Travel Guides at www.greecetravel.com/chinese.

HOTELS OF GREECE After Sept 11th when nobody was traveling and I had plenty of time on my hands I put together a Directory of hotels in Greece with photos and descriptions. It was kind of tedious but I think I was sort of in a state of shock and needed something mechanical to do for awhile. Now I am kind of proud of it in a simple workmanship way. It is not every hotel in Greece but it is every hotel that has been recommended by the agencies and travelers as well as hotels I have stayed at and recommend myself. I have tried to link

them to the travel agencies that have the best prices for that particular hotel. For those who still want to just show up and book hotels as you go I still recommend at least booking your hotel in Athens in advance even if you don't book any others. See www.hotelsofgreece.com BUDGET TOUR: ATHENS- SANTORINI Many people write that they want to go to Greece on a very meager budget, but they are nervous about doing all their hotels, and ferry bookings on their own. They would like to stay

in economical hotels but the thought of trying to figure out the metro, buses and taxis scares them a little. So I asked Fantasy Travel to put together a 10-day package for people who think they can't afford to go to Greece. They came up with something pretty special that includes 3 days each in Athens, Mykonos and Santorini, all transfers, breakfast, ferry tickets and a one day tour of Delphi or the one day Saronic cruise for as low as 62 euros a day per person. And everything except lunch and dinner

is taken care of. Even entry fees at the archaeological sites included www.greecetravel.com Weekend in Athens For those lucky enough to live.ld stand in 3 days. It does not have to be a weekend either. Any 3 days.
