ca__ Castlegar News — morchs. 1905 — TRAVEL Winter in Athens a 'pleasure' ATHENS (CP) — Summer is fun in Athens but the winter off-season can be better. The hordes of tourists are gone but the sun still is bright and warm most of the time. Restaurants and bars are lively with socialising natives and members of the huge foreign community. during the off is plentiful and cheaper than during the peak summer season. Rooms run from about $8 double near Monastiraki, Plaka and Victoria Square up to about $100 a night at the Grande Bretagne in Syntagma Square. During the off: season, sightseeing is a real pleasure in Athens. Few places are as enjoyable ona sunny winter's day at the Acropolis and the Parthenon, free of the mobs of tour groups and freelance travel guides.” Even the National Archeological Museum, always thronged during the peak tourist seasons, usually is quiet enough that one can linger over the exhibits showing the whole panorama of Greek antiquity. When sightseeing begins to pall, do as the ‘Athenians do and socialize. Sit in an outdoor cafe around Plateia Kolonaki and watch the elite of Greece pass their afternoon syringae Turkish coffee and exchanging gossip. The artists, playwrights and pl in ral pesca designer jeans make a stark contrast to the aging citizens in the Cafeneion Ellas. This seedy little coffee house has been celebrated in song and story as the hangout of the old rebetes, the down-and-out musicians who sang rebetica, Greece's answer to the Mississippi delta blues. Built around long, lonely Daven eee Chee song of Fave and Seth are enjoying a big revival. If it’s a rainy day, retire to one of the many bars in the Plaka. One is Phil off Kidh Street in the heart of the old quarter. It boasts one of the finest stereo systems in Europe and its collection of jazz, blues and early rock is impressive. The clientele is mixed — young Greek jazz lovers and intellectuals rub shoulders with some of the more interesting foreign residents in the city. serves an ise for about $3.50. Nearby is an old-fashioned ouzeri where a glass of ouzo served with a plate of mezedhes costs about $2. The plate includes pieces of cheese, sausage, taramosalta (fish roe salad), dolmadhes (stuffed vine leaves), potato salad and cold cuts. CLUBS POPULAR After dark the streets of Plaka fill with well-dressed Athenians heading for the nightclubs where some of tne most popular recording stars in Greece play every night throughout the winter. But it’s not cheap. A simple plate of fruit in any of the clubs that feature name entertainers costs about $10 and a bottle of whisky sells for as much as $160. Cheaper, less flashy entertainment is easy to find. A good place is Salamandra on Mantzarou Street, near Kolonaki. Located in a refurbished 150-year-old mansion, Salamandra has a subdued, romantic atmosphere. It specializes in such dishes as soutsokakia (meatballs in cumin spiced sauce), gigantes (broad flat white beans and bacon in tomato sauce) and pastourma (spicy garlic salami . sliced paper thin). The wine's good — owner Dimitri Kalli- politis selects his wines with loving care and if you ask, will happily suggest his current favorite. A light dinner for two ( SURVEY SHOWS | JOB KEY TO | FUN VACATION By BILL ANDERSON The Canadian Press In the slush and drudgery of winter, many Canadians look to a trip south for hope and salvation. Warm sand, cool drinks, a carefree life under blue skies by aquamarine seas — such are the pleasures anticipated by most while heading to the airport. But a U.S. survey indicates they also carry else — the p: ical baggage of daily life, which has a heavy effect on the quality of vacations. aeleey eae o ugume Cae 10,000 readers of Psy by social paychologist an Rubinstein, who found a striking gap “between vacation fantasy and reality.” “We found that few of us succeed in any remarkable transformations while on vacation,” she said. “And that, alas, we carry the same psychological baggage with us wherever we go.” STILL THE SAME The workaholic takes his briefcase and frets about wasting time; the health addict jogs, plays tennis and ahead of everything, including their jobs, and were most likely to be seen in a happy group at a beach, where 69 per cent said they spent their last vacation. About 12 per cent said they took vacations in search of excitement, danger and new friends. These people tended to be younger than 25 and unmarried, and said they normally held spontaneity and adventure in high regard. In contrast, the most restless and least happy vacationers were the eight per cent who went away to escape routine and get a tan. Rubenstein said these people “may indeed socape P read but they carry a weighty psychological burde! WANT COMFORT They don't enjoy work, Rubenstein said, but are greatly concerned with comforts and convenience. “Highly ambivalent about work and leisure, the people in this group want the best of both worlds with the least amount of effort,” she said. “They return home with their baggage intact, having escaped only for the duration of the vacation, and all they have to show for it is a tan — if not a painful sunburn.” Another aspect of the survey was its findings on how people felt about who they travelled with. “Those who spent most of their time alone enjoyed it least,” Rubenstein said. “Yet married respondents often dream of taking a vacation on their own.” Men and women both harbored fantasies of meeting gorgeous, exciting members of the opposite sex, but the couples there might be a real reason. Citing a study at the University of Minnesota, said “ swims; and the compulsive shopper goes These habits, bred at home, spring from a person's overall attitude to his daily life and his job — the key factor in an enjoyable vacation. “Indeed, the majority of those who say they enjoy their vacations most are the same people who report they enjoy their work most,” Rubenstein wrote. “Likewise, those who don’t enjoy their work also don't have much fun on vacations.” The largest group in the survey, about 37 per cent, said they took a vacation to get some rest. Many said they had high-stress jobs that were best countered with lots of unstructured time for loafing and wandering. About 20 per cent said they took a vacation to seek intellectual and spiritual enrichment. This group said it was content at work, active in social life, keenly interested in learning and seldom bored at home. ENJOY VACATION “With all this beneficial baggage,” Rubenstein said. “It is not surprising that they enjoy their vacations very much.” About 13 per cent said they took time off to be with their families. These people generally put family life togetherness and high vacation expectations cause unusual tension among couples, aggravating inherent marital problems and possibly ruining the couples’ vacation.” MEET OTHERS In the survey, those who started off by themselves but met others while travelling seemed to have the best time. Rubenstein observed that “perhaps nothing can spoil the fun more than expecting the impossible from a vacation,” and she offered a few generalizations about the kind of baggage one ought to take along. “Those who enjoyed their vacations most tended to relish excitement and adventure, to enjoy meeting people, and to not be overconcerned with comfort and convenience,” she said. “They have travelled extensively during childhood and learned from experience how to enjoy vacations. They are more energetic than others, and not especially cautious. “Finally, they look forward to their vacations with excitement or relief; they seem better able to wind down soon after they leave work, to feel vibrant while away, = and, paradoxically, to look forward to returning.” Zanzibar disintegrating ZANZIBAR (AFP) — The town of Zanzibar, the capital of the island of the same name which once controlled the slave trade for all East- have been crumbling, eaten ern Africa, regains some of away by damp and vegeta- its former glory each evening tion. as darkness falls.

Resort for rich begins campaign PORTO -VERVO, SAR- DINIA (REUTER) — The Cosin Smeralda, the million- aires’ Mediterranean play- ground founded by the Aga Khan, has launched a cam paign to attract still more of the world’s wealthy. One of the few area's of the Mediterranean where sun- bathers are not packed to- gether like sardines, the Em- erald Coast is spending $630 million to make it even more appealing to the rich. Since the original six con- sortium members decided to put a resort on the northeast coast of Sardinia in 1962, the 56 kilometres of coast which they bought has been devel- oped with an attention to de- tail possible only with huge resources. Features such as this spec ially built village, custom- designed lamp-posts, one of Europe's best golf courses and a harbor that can acco- mmodate big private yachts are just a few of the amen ities. Fans of the Emerald Coast say it provides everything the most fastidious and pam vored vacationer could de- one simplest apartment sells for about $140,000 and the price of the most lavish villas is equal to the ransom Sardinian kidnappers might demand if they could lay hands on one of the resort's wealthier citizens.
