What should I know before visiting Greece?

Answer by  jlaird (190)

Go somewhere else. The islands are not as beautiful as they've been hyped up to be. Athens is polluted and overcrowded in the summer. There are much more gorgeous places to visit, even in the region that are more beautiful.

Greece is mainland and then thousands of islands. Divide your time between the great historical monuments and the fabulous magic of the islands. Learn a few words in Greek, especially those regarding food. Guage your time well and drink a lot of water especially when it is hot. Look for a local guide to show you around.
