Greece ❤️

After almost a month, it’s time to say goodbye to Greece. We’re in love and we’ll be back.

Hospitality

How could you not love the Greeks: laid-back, always up for a laugh, and never a harsh word. The food is fantastic, and all of it at more than fair prices. That makes both the heart and the wallet happy. In Greece, we were really able to unwind and just drift through the country. It did us good—both as people and as a couple.

Economic Crisis

Economically, things seem to be going well for the Greeks. You don’t see any shortages. There are no beggars. People look healthy and well-fed—here and there you even spot a little prosperity belly. That’s not something you can take for granted, considering Greece went through a severe economic crisis and near state bankruptcy not so long ago. It hit a lot of people hard. You hope that Greece has turned the corner. But maybe what you see here is just a bubble, inflated by EU guarantees. When you’re driving on the empty highways, you can’t help but wonder if all the investments here really made sense.

Autumn Plans

We’ll definitely be back! In fact, this fall we’ve already chartered a Fountaine Pajot Belize 43 on Lefkada for two weeks, and then an Excess 11 for another two weeks.
