Travel tips from Eva: Greece 🇬🇷

#timetotravel Greece is an ancient country with its own traditions and customs, and a week there, of course, is not enough. We visited the mainland and will definitely return to the islands! In the meantime, a little Greece in detail: 17 million tourists visit this country per year, this is more than its population as a whole 🇬🇷 139 million olive trees grow in Greece and 75% of European cotton is grown 🇬🇷 people celebrate the “name day” of the saint whose name they bear, and not their own birthday 🇬🇷 Greece has more than 2000 islands, of which about 170 are inhabited. The largest is Crete 🇬🇷 Greeks do not wave with an open palm, it is considered an insult to show your palm with outstretched fingers. They wave with a clenched palm 🇬🇷 When meeting, Greeks kiss on the cheeks twice, even men. They are also noisy, talk loudly and at the same time accompany their speech with sweeping hand gestures. 🇬🇷gasoline is very expensive, about 1.8 euros per liter. Taxi drivers can be found everywhere if they are not on strike, but the trip will be quite expensive 🇬🇷 the Greeks are big lovers of sweets, we treated ourselves every day with fresh goodies from bakeries (I recommend shortbread cookies with almonds and the traditional Soloniki bagel with Philadelphia cheese) 🇬🇷 order homemade wine in any restaurant, it’s tasty and profitable (0.5 liter costs 4-7 euros, and the price of a bottle of imported wine starts from 15) . Kalimera to you) have you been to Greece? .
