IZMIR, Turkey - Israel is the birthplace of Christianity, but Turkey is where it took root and grew. This is the land of Helen of Troy, Alexander the Great, Constantine and the Ottoman Empire. Its boundaries hold the remains of castles, ancient battlegrounds, remnants of the Roman Empire and the palaces of some of the grandest dynasties in the world's history. Straddling both Europe and Asia and surrounded by the Mediterranean, Aegean and Black seas, Turkey is one of the oldest continuously inhabited places in the world.

SANTORINI, Greece -- When you visit the islands of the Cyclades, you'll see the Greece of calendar photos. Here, narrow streets wriggle between whitewashed buildings. Windmills crown the cliffs. The church domes are painted blue to match the sky and the Aegean Sea. If you go to the Cyclades, try the island of Mykonos first. On Mykonos, you can start your Grecian vacation in a place where everyone speaks English and is glad to see you. (While many Greeks are warm to Americans, it is possible to encounter a chilly one. Some Greeks still grieve over the 1974 conflict on Cyprus, when the United States was seen as partial to Turkey. Others are unhappy that President Bill Clinton "interfered" in Yugoslavia, causing distress to the Serbs, who share the Greeks' Christian Orthodox religion.)

Jackson Pollock's ghost haunts this all-over composition, but [Catherine Hall]'s partially scraped-away layers of oozing wax give it a textured quality richer than drips alone can produce. "Faux 1" resem- bles something primordial that the Hubble tele- scope glimpsed in a chaotic corner of the universe. Streaks of light jag across gaseous, globular forms. Though small in scale, "Faux 1" suggests the endlessness of outer space. It's not coincidental that two framed paintings, "Flow" and "Seep," make a stronger impression than similarly composed unframed pieces hanging nearby. Viewers might especially go with "Flow." Deep washes, reminiscent of Frankenthaler's stains, form filigreed patterns as they, yes, flow over the patches of color found in all Hall's icon-inspired abstractions. Here,...

Christopher Bakken emerged from the waters of Plati Yialos (Wide Shore) in north Serifos, grinning big as he raised the octopus impaled on the tip of the spear gun. His daughter, Sophia, 8, squealed with delight and ran to inspect the catch. She watched intently as he killed the creature and then slammed it 40 times against a big rock on the shore. This is what the fishermen do to tenderize the meat. Slide Show
