Greece ❤️

After almost a month, it is time to say goodbye to Greece. We are in love and we will be back.

Hospitality

How could you not love the Greeks: relaxed, always up for fun, and never a bad word. The food is fantastic and all at a more than fair price. That does the heart and the wallet good. In Greece we were able to really switch off and let ourselves drift through the country. It did us good as people and as a couple.

Economic crisis

Economically, the Greeks seem to be doing well. You do not see any hardship. There are no beggars. People seem healthy and well fed, and here and there you even catch sight of a little comfort belly. That is not something to take for granted, since the Greeks went through a severe economic crisis not too long ago, with an actual state bankruptcy. That hit many people hard. One hopes that Greece has turned the corner. But it is also possible that what you see here is only a bubble, inflated by EU guarantees. When traveling along the empty motorways, a quiet doubt creeps in as to whether money has been spent sensibly everywhere here.

Autumn plans

We will definitely come back! Already in autumn, we have chartered a Fountaine Pajot Belize 43 on Lefkada for two weeks and then an Excess 11 for another two weeks.
