When...peace activists have their cover blown, occupy a island-hoping ferry in the marina, and begin marching up and down the boardwalk, screaming "Shame on Papandreaou!" and "Free Gaza!"...there's a problem. A town like Nikolaos, with 8 euro cocktails, lazy Tuesday night karaoke...and not even a nude beach, isn't built for such expressions of solidarity with the people of Gaza. This isn't Athens. This isn't Syntagma Square. There's not even a hint of tear gas in the air.
