In April, I spent ten days in Greece. The experience was so unique, much different than any of the places I had traveled before. It’s not quite Western and it’s not quite Eastern either. Greece is also a pretty cheap country, mostly due to their economic problems. Some people are afraid of Greece, perhaps due to their economy or the perceived unsafeness. However, I found Greece to be a charming country. Yet, there are some things you should probably know before going to prevent the culture shock.

Athens Part I: Exploring the Acropolis
You have probably heard that Athens is dirty and there is graffiti everywhere. Yes, that’s true.

It may be dirty, but it’s so full of life and culture.
