What to look out for in Greece.
What to pay attention to in Greece, so as not to get into any kind of history. Features of the stay, customs, customs, scammers, food, customs. I just want to travel, active tours without warming the belly on the beach, what to take with me (food in mid-July) What interesting things can I buy.
Thanks in advance, Sergey.

I don't know about mainland Greece, but Crete seemed to me the safest place I've ever been. You can leave your bag unattended in the middle of the beach and go swimming, and it will lie intact in the same place. You can return to the hotel at night one of the clubs - and no one will do anything to you (they will even offer to see you off)))) The locals seemed to me very friendly people. I didn't notice any particular quirks. The rules of conduct and laws are well known to all of us.
Meals: the cuisine is both local (very tasty), and any other (pizza, sushi, Russian cafes, French cooking, etc.). Seafood seemed unimaginably expensive to me, everything else is about the same price.
As for what to take with you, there are no special must-haves here: medicines can always be bought at a pharmacy, clothes / shoes, although more expensive than ours, can also always be found, the same with hygiene products. I would advise you to take a good mosquito / midge repellent with you: although they don’t really get out on the street, they became a problem for me in the room. Oh yes, don't forget your camera))) And good mood :)))

I will even recommend a very good mosquito repellent. It's called "Reftamid" - a medium-sized blue balloon. Even here, in the North, it saves me from midges. Usually sold in hunting/fishing stores

Thank you, but Reftamid is not for sale here. I myself am a hunter, and these means .... up to electronic ones. But I definitely wouldn't take it to Greece.

Which Greece do you want to travel to? I don’t know how the situation is on the mainland right now, but everything is smooth on the islands. there were both in Crete and Rhodes - the inhabitants are friendly, most speak English (even in mountain villages), they wrote to you about the food, IMHO I liked the local one more - both tastier and fresher and the portions are huge. Fish is cheap, you need to look for places))) Beaches are all urban, access is free. Rent a car (required with insurance in the cost) - make a route and drive around the island in 1-2 days. There are almost no police on the roads. Traveled with Russian rights. There are more euros in circulation than dollars. Souvenirs sea for every taste, but not particularly budgetary. As for morals - the country is Orthodox, so everything is fine). As for customs ... um ... well, for example, after a meal in a tavern, the owner always brings local vodka and a plate of dessert (fruits) to the guest - for free)) I haven’t seen gnats at all ... It’s better to buy water and food in large supermarkets like Spara-cheaper will come out.

I support the question: which Greece are you going to travel to. I have been living here for 15 years and I can answer many of your questions.

Thanks a lot. Mainly interested in continental Greece. "Travel" is a strong word. I will only have 4-5 days, that's why I'm asking. Which of the following is worth visiting the city of Dion. The archaeological complex of the sanctuary of Demeter and Isis, the ancient Odeon, Roman baths and the "Palace of Dionysus". Next is Mount Olympus. Thessalian valley. Is it worth it to go to Saint Meteora, a monastic state built on giant steep rocks, Athens, the Acropolis. The Parthenon, the Propylaea colonnade, the temple of the goddess Nike and the Erechtheion. Thessaloniki. (“White Tower”, which has become a symbol of the city, the Rotunda and the Arc de Triomphe, the Temple of St. Demetrius,) But basically I'm interested in what to pay attention to, a foreign state, foreign customs. For example: "after a meal in a tavern, the owner always brings local vodka and a plate of dessert (fruits) to the guest - for free))" - I liked it.
For example: in Germany, I paid 4 euros for a glass of beer in a pub, it turned out that this includes a deposit for a glass and it had to be taken to the bartender when buying drinks. You pay for a bottle, which it is desirable to return to the store (bottles do not lie on their streets ). In France, he got into trouble with a gold ring. Here are some of the household items.

Oh, what would you advise? Internet in the Internet cafe is very expensive (1 euro - 20-30 minutes). If you look young (in the sense - like a teenager), then in many cafes they ask for a passport when ordering alcohol. For example, I was not served wine in Santorini. Yes, I agree with snusnum: products are cheaper in supermarkets and there is more choice. This is from what I immediately remembered. If I remember anything else, I'll write

rested in Kallikratia - a lot of Russians who keep cafes and restaurants on the coast. The attitude is very good. They can advise - where to go, what to see. Regarding Meteors - be sure to visit. Such a spectacular sight. You will be very sorry later. who were in Greece and did not visit
