  • Fast food in Greece

    Fast food in Greece

    Whenever I travel to an unfamiliar destination, I am always happy to spot a McDonald’s right after I land. I can eat my beloved BigMac, without immediately having to learn about the country’s culture and food. It is convenient for me after a long and tiring day of traveling. However, upon landing in Greece, I […]

  • Travel in Greece during your period

    Travel in Greece during your period

    We, women, are never celebrating when it is that time of the month again. But when traveling, our periods become even less wanted. At home, you can curl up underneath a blanket, use heated pads, and eat chocolate until the worst part is over. But in Greece, you often don’t want to lose a day […]

  • Fall in love with Greece in Autumn

    Fall in love with Greece in Autumn

    We said goodbye to our sunglasses and shorts. Now we wear jackets and don’t leave the house without an umbrella. Days have become shorter and grey. Summer is over, and we look forward to Christmas or spring next year. However, the fall doesn’t have to be rainy and cold, not when you treat yourself to […]

  • Greek taverns

    Greek taverns

    In most countries, you go out for dinner at a restaurant, or an estiatorio in Greek. However, many Greeks don’t go to an estiotorio when eating out. Instead, the Greeks eat at taverns. But what are these? What is a tavern? Translating the Greek tavern, or taverna, gives a few results. One says that it is a small Greek […]

  • Why everyone should explore Greece

    Why everyone should explore Greece

    There are many beautiful places in this world, but I can recommend anyone to explore around Greece for a longer time. As a working nomad, backpacker, or just as a traveler, Greece can be as interesting as other, more popular, countries. The warm and welcoming culture merged with the paradise-like landscapes will never get boring. Everyone […]

  • Why you should not rely on paying with your credit card in Greece

    Why you should not rely on paying with your credit card in Greece

    Paying by card is not as common in Greece as in other countries. Although quite a few places do allow card payment, some may not. Cash is the norm for many smaller Greek shops, restaurants, and hotels. When traveling in Greece, you should never solely trust your card. Always carry real money with you instead. […]

  • Does Greece feel safe when traveling alone?

    Does Greece feel safe when traveling alone?

    Deciding which country to travel to on your own, might be a bit tricky, especially as a woman or girl. Men see us as the more vulnerable sex, and traveling alone to a less safe country might result in unpleasant situations. In Greece, however, I have never been close to any danger. Greece is safe […]

  • Greek toilets. What to prepare for

    Greek toilets. What to prepare for

    Whoever believes that going to Greek toilets is like visiting a restroom in other European countries, is wrong. The experience of emptying your bladder in Greece is unique and unlike doing the same thing in the rest of Europe or even the US. Prepare yourself for your next holiday and keep reading. Don’t flush your […]

  • The coffee you must try in Greece

    The coffee you must try in Greece

    Real Greeks love their coffee and they are really good at making it. As a result, every gas station, supermarket, shopping street, beach, and even ferry is equipped with coffee that is even tastier than what you can get at the most famous coffee place here in the Netherlands. But how to know which coffee […]
