Волнующая и незабываемая Греция! Exciting and unforgettable Greece!

It all started with the fact that at the airport, at the border control, we were asked to stand in two queues, one only for European people, and for everyone else. There were a lot of Asians on our flight, so at first we considered ourselves European people, but damn it, it turned out that we were not white at all and they created a long queue of us. Everything continued at the counter of the Budget rental office, where we booked a car. When it came to a driver's license (we have a pink card), we were told that it was not good, let's get an international one. Although it is absolutely international and we took cars on them in Germany, Spain, Croatia without any problems. It immediately seemed that we didn’t want a car for everyone for the same reason: we are not European people, we are Russians! This opinion was subsequently confirmed by other tourists. At the next counter of Avis, we were told that they would give us a car according to our rights without any problems, although their price was exorbitant. They did not take. Further, the island of Mykonos, we rent 4 ATVs and go to explore the island. It was in the evening. One of them breaks after half an hour. . We call the office, they say that you ran out of gas, and this is not our problem. Briefly sent. The problem was this - quadrics 50 cubic meters, they barely go uphill and the transmission overheats a lot. After half an hour, he stops going at all. Okay, cooled down, somehow brought it on, let's go to the gas station. . done, let's move on. . after 10 minutes the first quadric gets up again, and after another 5 another one breaks. As a result, instead of walking around the island, we carried two quadrics on ourselves to the office, and then on the eleventh number we went to the yacht. In the morning we came to the office, where it was already full of people, and showed us the type, let's work for another half a day. They sent us again and tried to smear that we took the quadrics with full tanks, and returned them with empty ones, although everything was exactly the opposite. It’s good that they didn’t say that we broke them. It is also worth noting that you can take a quadricycle there with a license and a passport, but we, as Russian people, were told that the passport is not good, carry your license. And they gave them for half a day at the price of the whole referring to the fact that they were already booked in the morning. In general, the legend that Mykonos is a pido island. . owls, I fully confirm! The rest of the journey was kind of smooth. I will only note that the city of Athens makes a depressing impression with its devastation. In the very center there are a lot of abandoned shabby buildings with collapsed roofs, everything is somehow dirty, filthy. . as if in the apartment of drunks, where no one cleans. I was pleased with the Acropolis, the entrance costs 12 euros, thousands of people visit it a day, it’s just not crowded, and it has been standing in the forests for so many years. For the loot that they shake off tourists, it was possible to build another 100 such acropolises throughout Greece, and in their original form. In general, they also know how to master budgets well. The final point, surprisingly, was put by our dear, and dearly beloved Aeroflot since childhood. When we flew back, there were many foreign tourists on our flight. We sat in the tail, And behind us there were 3 more times with foreign tourists, and two rows in front of us. In general, when they were delivering food, With all the foreign tourists, sushi-pusi, but what do you want, fish or meat, but it’s gently hot, but we have such and such a sauce for the meat. . in English they offer white and red wine. As a result, when the turn comes to us, the food cart just drives past to the next foreign tourists, when everyone around is already champing, we are simply silently put on the tables what is left (it was a fish) without asking anything and in the Russian version of wine we are no longer offered . In general, as soon as they could they zachmyril, and the dough in Greece is just VERY expensive. And our euros are not as good as those of the same Asians, for example. I personally have not experienced such a feeling that you are a second-class person for a long time. Moreover, when I was in Greece 10 years ago, among our tourists, this topic was raised many times. But I forgot about it for a long time, now I had to remember. As a result, I categorically do not advise you to go to Greece with your Jews, Croatia, for example, is much more interesting, both the mainland and the islands.
