Κωνσταντίνος Πέτρου Καβάφης, «Leaving Therapia»

Good-bye to Therapia & joys of the hotel -
Good dinners that make you exultingly swell,
Good beds that refresh you from the toil of the day
Fine sights near which you'd wish ever to stay -
To all these good things the time is well nigh

I must bid a Good-Bye!

However Calikioy's opposite shore

I must hail tho' by far more simple & poor:

But they say what is simple is good at the heart

And where goodness is we may well spare art:

So at humble Calikioy let us not rail

            But bid it All Hail!

(1882)
