Note to self...when in Greece if you drop something into a bathroom garbage can by mistake...leave it there.

i spent a few months on Allonysos (sp?)  beautifull island with crystal clear water.


greece is amazing and beautifull, but yes, the women are protected very sternly by thier brothers and fathers.

Yo Hajo!!

Been to Greece several times, both on vacation and work. Once in '98, then again in '01 and twice this year. Seen Crete, Piraeus (Port of Athens) and Santorini. I absolutely love the country. Food is great and so are the ppl. The prices are a lot higher now than they were pre-euro. My favourite place would be Crete, been to several places there. Athens is just too crowded. And as far as the crossings go, it's true. You congratulate yourself every time you've crossed a street and find yourself on the other side in one piece. Heck, even the stray dogs wait for green light before crossing.

There are ferries from Piraeus to Chania and Hiraklion on Crete a couple of times a day. Slow ferry to Chania leave at 9 pm and arraives at 7 am. A plane from the airport in Athens to chania takes 40 minutes and costs around $700, well worth it. There are 4 or 5 a day I think. My recommendation would be to go see Crete, Athens IMO is like any other big city, Crete is not like any other place I've been.

And if your nephew ever comes to Sweden, I'll show him some nice blondes to bring home to his uncle Hajo!

I saw sombody mentioned souvlaki, that is a "must" and get the local drink with it too (dont remember the name of it now but it burns ...)

Bat, sounds like you've seen too many movies.

no way man, my friend Jan and I got into some very bad situations just by looking at girls from the island. luckily jan is 6'2" and made of solid Polish muscle or i would have been screwed. have you been to Allonysos?

the greeks were alot of fun, we ended up running the bar and music in a small night club on the island after meeting with the old age owner in an amusing incident involving a mo-ped crash.

i still have dreams of the rock faces 60ft high that we could jump off, and the underwater caves jammed with everything from sea cucumbers to painfull to stand on black urchins.


why the heck would anyone watch a film about greeks, 300 has screwed that up for a while?
