 ==Visit to Greece== 

 I found this very intriguing article in a magazine called Odyssey and the feature is written by Jonathan Wingate. 

 The photos show Ringo Starrr and Paul Mccartney in Greece in 1967 who visted Greece several times, watching locals folk dances at Itea, a seaside village on the coast below  
 Delphi. According the press reports, the trip in July 1967 included a cruise of the Northern Sporades and a visity to Arahova, a mountain village near Delphi, where a short rest on a rooftop terrace turned into an impromptu celebration. 

 Paul quotes: "" In the song 'Girl' that John wrote, there's a Zorba-like thing at the end that I wrote which came from that holiday. I was impressed with another culture's approach because it was slightly different from what we did. We jsut did it on acoustic guitars instead of bouzoukis."" 

 ""Ringo and I, particularly, used to be able to get off to Greece, because it was far enough away for nobody to know who we were. And I remember hanging around with the hotel cabaret band and watching them rehearse, trying to persuade them that we were in quite a decent group back in England. 'You know, yeahh, me and the other guy who's at the swimming pool, we're in this band called The Beatles'.""  —Preceding unsigned comment added by    "
