#SeeYouInGreece #Greecebylocals are some of the campaigns going on online to show support to Greece during this hard times by various celebrities, activist and so many others.
I love this wonderful initiative and all I have to add is come over already!
Despite what the major mass media headline are saying and the debt crisis, Greece is still flooding with sun, warm people, great food and most of all it is very safe.
Now is the perfect time to and enjoy your dreamy Greek island vacation.
Walking by Syntagma every day to commute to work, I will say even though there has been some riots. It was nothing violent, like it used to be in the past years. Nobody was burning anything down or getting physical with the police, people are just demonstrating against the new austerity measures.
To show you all how peaceful and secure it is in Athens, I took these images right in front of the Greek Parliament at Syntagma.This is where every demonstration occur and where every visitor come to see the change of the guards (Euzones)in front of the statue of the "unknown" soldier.
The only weird thing that happened that day were kids who approached me with their tourist parent to ask if they can take a picture with me, I bet they thought I was a model (made my smile).
In today's outfit I will introduce to yet another inventive and hard working Greek Artist.
