Our children look forward to going as much as Greg and I do," Effie says. Her best friend, Angelica Kourebanas Pantelakos, also loves to visit family and friends in Greece in summer. "We go every year. We have a home on the southwest island in Greece on the water in a place known for Kalamata olives and olive oil. It's a typical, white-washed Greek town with churches and beaches all around us. My homeland is there, and you always go back to your past," says Angelica. Her husband, Jamie Pantelakos, was born and raised in Fayetteville. ey met in 1992 aer attending a wedding. Her aunt and uncle were guests, and because they were older, she was asked to drive them there. "I met my husband as a wedding crasher," Angelica jokes. "We got married in a Greek church in Burlington, Vermont, where I am from, and had a Greek reception." Angelica met Effie Kalevas when she moved to Fayetteville. "Our husbands grew up together. Our mothers are friends. Our children are the same age and have been roommates. Our daughters were roommates in Boston and now live in Charlotte, although separately. Our sons are roommates now. We have a lot of ties and a lot in common," says Angelica. Her travels to Greece enable her to reconnect with family. "I had grandparents and aunts, uncles and cousins living there. When I married my husband, we used to go as newlyweds and continued taking our children there. I have fond memories of my siblings' children and my children growing up bonding with our customs and traditions in Greece," she says. e Pantelakoses' second home is in Pylos in Messinia, Greece, where her father is from. "Our home overlooks the Bay of Navarino. We visit every year, as my mom has retired there. We usually go in July for a month, but this year we will be going in September for three weeks," Angelica says. eir daughter, Vivian, will graduate as a nurse practitioner from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte this summer, so their trip was postponed to the fall.
