I can't say enough about how much I loved visiting cape columbo! I love unorganized beaches because im so sick of the music they play at these beaches, I want some peace and quiet! And the water is super warm which is great for the off season. Have any of you been? What did you think?

I love to shop around and check out what the local stores have to offer. Are there any recommendations? :) Thanks

I don't have anyone to pick me up, and my flight lands at 11pm, are there taxis waiting in the stand?

Yes this is true and the majority of the reason you'll see so many half built buildings. Also many people take out loans and then run into more money issues down the line. In general, there isn't a lot of financial planning and thinking ahead on Greece, people are trying to make a quick buck

This monument is one of my favourites, read more about it here https://www.greekboston.com/travel/monument-alexander-great-thessaloniki/

This is one of my favorite cheese but I usually eat it with bread and cold cuts or in a toast (panini in America). Are there any recipes with graviera? This is what it looks like for reference

I absolutely love castles! This is not something you think about when traveling to Greece but its a great gem https://www.kastra.eu/castleen.php?kastro=monolith

Lohan like Lindsay Lohan? I heard she opened up a beach club but I never knew what came of it. So it's still open?

What a great option!!! Everyone should know about this :) If I knew about this before I would have left the airport during my tragic flight delays where I had gotten so bored waiting at the terminal

I love hearing these stories, thank you so much for posting in this thread Hash :)

We are so similar! I'm sure we've both shared so many aspects of each others cultures

This is super interesting thank you for sharing Here is a bit more info that I found online for anyone who doesn't know about this. "The “Sacred Way” was the road from Athens to Eleusis (Elefsina in modern Greek). It was the route taken by a procession celebrating the Eleusinian Mysteries that...

From the little research I just did, it seems that some of these bars are not "Greek." My suggestion is walking around town and bit and seeing what's around ahead of time. There are usually very many cafes all over Greece that show soccer games

My favorite go to quick Greek recipe is eggs with tomato :) so simple and easy, and especially tasty with fresh bread and fresh oregano sprinkled on top

That's smart...now that you mention it, many Greeks that I know will usually go out for a drink/coffee over an entire meal

This is something that I struggle with. I always want to join in on the dances but I don't have the eye and rhythm to pick them up on the spot

Stink LOL! Thank you for the tip I haven't heard of this one :)

What is there to do in the off season? Im thinking of taking a trip in October but I'm not sure if it is going to be fun or not. I know that it will probably be too cold to swim, sadly

I know this is a loaded question, but I would love to hear what the history lovers have to say about Greece and Cyprus! How did Cyprus come to be as its own country?

It's crazy that the same gesture for what's up is also no. It's all about the context!! Those who are newer to the language like me need to pay a little bit more attention to catch on to smaller gestures like these
