Travel Magazine
Even though it has been close to 7 years since I visited Greece, it remains one of my favorite places to travel. The people, the culture, the food, the history, everything merges together so beautifully that I couldn't help fall in love with it all. Now, when I see Greece come up in the NEWS due to the economic troubles I can't help but feel sad, especially since there are very few places in the world where you can literally have any kind of vacation you want. A romantic vacation, a party vacation, a family vacation, an island getaway, a historical trip, a stag weekend, you name it and Greece will have an island that caters to your needs.
So, continuing my somewhat ongoing feature of "First thing that comes to your mind when I say..." I present to you what people think when I say "Greece!".
@ilivetotravel - Strikes
@backpackforever - Debt crisis, Windex (<-- from My Big Fat Greek Wedding), gyros, yogurt dip, the white + blue houses of Santorini, Byzantine music...
@ZipSetRachel - A great honeymoon destination ! Beautiful Islands and beaches.
@KatrinaMauro - 1st thing for Greece: "shit" (you maybe chose the wrong person for this country - I practically hated Greece)
@Thompson_Film - Mythology, and that's because I was writing about Greek mythology today! :D
@KitWhelan - Islands!
@claudiabia - Santorini
@Vegabond3Live - white and blue!
@HipTraveler - "Santorini sunset" ... pebble beaches, Mykonos, Athens, Acropolis, baklava, gyros, Greek salads, olive oil, Greek islands, Greek mythology.
@Subtletea - Acropolis
...and there you have it. From mentions about the present economic conditions to greek mythology, which is the big thing in the western movie world nowadays, to a great honeymoon destination. Greece has something for everyone!
A special thanks to Russell (@russell_Oz) for providing all the wonderful pictures depicting Greece in all its glory.
