Jennifer Aniston seeks solace in Greece December 14, 2005 Actress Jennifer Aniston, short for Anastassakis, is planning a trip to Greece to explore her family's roots in Crete (where her family has a farm) in a bid to escape the limelight. The former Friends actress is desperate to escape the media frenzy which has surrounded her since splitting from ex-husband Brad Pitt in January. And she hopes a visit to her family's farm will give her the opportunity to live a normal life for a few weeks. She says: I'm going to take some time off, travel. I want to go to Greece and some other countries. I lived there for a year when I was five or six. We lived in Athens for six months, then we lived in Crete. My family has a beautiful farm. I've only gone back there once. It would be a refreshing thing to be out of this (Los Angeles) bubble. Author : Thomas Crosbie Media
