Top Ten Do’s
1. OK, you’ll do Acropolis with the crowds! Then, the next best thing is the Mythical Peloponnese region! Visit it! Stay and explore!
2. Food! Food! Food! Mediterranean food is very good, but the Greek food is better! Try the rose wine, but not bottled. Ask 4 the house wine!
3. If you are into coffee, try Greek coffee in the proper place and proper way, at least once! This means, not in a plastic cup and not in Starbucks-like places.
4. Visit Meteora, if you have the time to do the trip to central Greece! It’s worth the long trip. Better way? 2-day trip to Delphi & Meteora with an overnight!
5. Ouzo, ice, water, authentic snack around noon, and -if possible- at the right place and the right time!
6. Follow the locals! They know best where to eat, drink, swim. Buy Greek products like olive oil, olives, feta cheese, wine, and honey, from local producers! We can help!
7. Don’t get on a tour bus. Don’t be a tourist! You pay less but you get “less” than you paid for!!!
8. Try grilled octopus (with Ouzo) but at places where they know how to make it … non-rubbery!
9. If you are staying for more than two weeks, try to include central Greece too. It’s just as amazing as the Peloponnese region but requires that you travel further. Ask us for ideas!
10. Avoid Mykonos & Santorini … if you can after the brainwashing from your friends that have visited ONLY these places! If you have to, spend just one day!
