GREECE: Quiet Holidays

I have not been to Greece before and, especially being Turkish, you should definitely go there once in your life, even just to confirm that our country is more gorgeous and our cuisine much more varied and amazing than the Greeks!

Having arrived in Thessaloniki airport, the first thing I realised was that Greeks are as cheeky as the Turks. It started with the taxi ride from the airport to the bus terminal. He literally tried to convince us to drive us all the way from Thessaloniki to Afytos, which is a 1.5 hour drive. His arguments were hilarious, such as "it's much more comfortable in the taxi", "you have to pay more for the bus" etc. All of it was nonsense. The bus ride was much much less and at the same time very comfortable.
At the end he charged us an extra amount of money, just because he had to put our luggage in the boot!


Having arrived in Afytos, we realised how small this part was! There were hardly any people and if you saw any, they were Germans! That's why most of the waiters could speak either Greek or German, hardly any English.

Probably not the cleanest part of the beach, but still enjoyable ;) !
