Hi Derek: I'm not an expert on Greek sundials, but over the years, I've tried using Google to find dials there, without much luck. Either there are not many Greek dials, or there are not many Greek sundial websites, or both. If this is true, it's a shame, because with all those white buildings and all that sunshine, it's an ideal location for painted wall sundials!
My searches seem to indicate that the following website is the best Greek website on sundials. It has a page with some Greek dials. Most are very old. Modern Greek sundials seem to be rare. See: http://www.sundials.gr/index.htm The phrase for sundials (solar clocks) in Greek is: ηλιακά ρολόγια Write this down on a piece of paper and take it with you to show to the locals who might be able to point you to some local dials. And take your camera! If you find any good ones, let us know! Have a great trip, John -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Darek Oczki Sent: Friday, April 24, 2009 3:52 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Sundials in Greece Dear Friends I am going to visit Greece with my girlfriend in about a month but I just can't find any info about sundials there. Does anybody know this sunject? Perhaps there is a kind of register or database on the net? I hope to find some guidance here.
