1950 (July 10) Greece: Registered Surface/Airmail commercial cover to USA franked with 100dr Monastery, 2000dr Vase and 3000 on 100dr King George tied by 'Syros' postmarks. Bank's embossed seal in blue on reverse. 'Athens' transit backstamp (July 11) with Greek Currency Control tape at right tied on reverse by purple straightline handstamp. 'New York' arrival backstamps (July 14, 15)

Europe / Greece

Syros had no airport until 1991. Remarkably, only three days' transit for more than 4,900 miles, suggesting a single non-stop flight from Athens to New York.
