Turkey's Nasreddin Hodja enthralls Greek audiences

Turkey's Nasreddin Hodja -- a unique and entertaining character from Turkish folklore -- has found a new home in an unlikely setting: Greece.
       
At a special storytelling event in Athens recently, stories of the Hodja -- a kind of a mixture of fool and wise man -- were read out by husband and wife team Panagiotis Kokkoris and Turkey-born Gözde Atalay-Kokkoris.
