I am half greek but have never been. If you are with someone from there it is totaly differant. Athens is only good for the history from what I know. The greek islands and beach are suppose to be good. I only know from what I have herd never been there.

I've been to Greece a few years ago, I'm sorry about what happened to you revolution, but you can expect that in the small towns and islands that aren't normally bombarded with tourists.

Some places are just very unwelcoming to anyone from the outside, others are just unwelcoming to minorities. Usually because there have been too many bad examples of minorities in Greece. It has nothing to do with you personally, but old narrow-minded people will stereotype and then hate.

I would suggest you check out Thessaloniki if you can. Absolutely beautiful city. I fell in love with it, even though my father is from Athens.

I didnt get a chance to do all I wanted to, I was only there for 8 days... I got to visit all the sites in Athens,Meteora in Kalabaka and the Islands of Hyda,Porus and Aegina. Over all I had a great time thanks to the love I got from the guysblushing my mom said she really enjoyed herself, so other then the Euro kicking my butt for a week all is well...Thanks for the input friend:wink:
