Things I didn't know before coming to Greece

dsc_0154.jpg
  • Little old Greek ladies take queueing seriously by using their elbows and body weight

  • The beaches are sometimes difficult to reach on the islands and most are clothing-optional

  • You can't flush paper down toilets on the islands

  • The water on the islands isn't recommended for drinking, so get that money ready for all those bottles

  • The Greek and Italian languages are nothing alike

  • There's no avoiding cigarette smoke in Greece...It's everywhere

  • In Greece, the party starts well after midnight and can continue into brunch time

  • The water really is that blue

  • They don't have the greatest beer...and the wine is clearly superior in Italy

  • When you want to say "cheers" in Greece, you say "yamas!"

  • Ouzo tastes like sambuca...so, not good

  • Gyros are a lovely and cheap option for eating out, especially before or after a late night

  • Italians LOVE Mykonos

  • Going topless on a beach is quite common

  • Feta in Greece is served as a thick slab of cheese, not in crumbles, and it's delicious there

  • ATVs and scooter rentals are everywhere and seem like they're totally worth it
