Another place I want to see. My wife says I'm fixated on Greece! :) But you know, the call of the blood is strong!
The links to the church interiors are appreciated. Byzantine church architecture and decoration contribute mightily, especially when coupled with the Divine Liturgy of +John Chrysostomos, to an other worldly sense in worshippers. As +Vladimir's envoys to Constantinople reported when they returned to Kiev, "We knew not whether we were in heaven or on earth!" My belief is that this experience is what lies at the base of the Orthodox conviction of the timelessness of the Faith as Holy Tradition has given it to us, both in theology and praxis.
I can definitely relate to that given that I am 3/4 Italian and have lived in Italy. There is a very strong pull.
multimedia interaction/participation ... what is old is new, again.
