AirModern | Greek Sketch Odyssey: Part 1

When I was 18, I spent a summer on the island of Rhodes, Greece. Over 20 years later, in June of 2024, I fulfilled a dream to return. Instead of hunkering down in one place (or laying on the beach) I rented a car and spent 10 days cruising around the Greek mainland, visiting ancient sites, hiking to the top of ancient acropolises in 100-degree heat, and visiting museums. Instead of snapping selfies for social media like other tourists, I sat with a leather-bound sketchbook and a pile of watercolor markers and sketched.
