Yassas!
Yes folks, at last my new mini ebook 'Helen's 100 Travel Tips For Greece' is finished and ready for a good read. It's taken me a while to complete but I'm sure you'll find it entertaining.
Like all countries, Greece has the good, the bad and the ugly, but fortunately most of it is good - the main problem being that if there is a difficult way of doing things - that will be the Greek way! The Greeks themselves are the first to admit it. The fun part is knowing how to make the difficult things easy, and therefore having a trouble-free trip. This is what I’ve tried to explain in this small booklet, and I hope my tips will help. I’m not a travel agent, so I have no intention of trying to sell you a trip, I’m trying to sell you a country!
Here's Tip 1 just to give you a taste of what's to come...
☼ Tip 1.
Here’s five good reasons why you should follow in my footsteps and travel to Greece:
1. Because you’ll absolutely love it.
2. Because it’s hugely historical and you do need a culture fix now and then.
3. Because Greece is an experience like no other. (Challenge yourself)
4. Because Greece is beautiful, and stunning, and amazing, and different.
5. Because in Greece you can really unwind. And it’s Seniors friendly, too.
It doesn’t matter whether you loathe ruins, hate beaches, get sea-sick, detest olive oil and are indifferent to moussaká, I guarantee that within one week you will be captivated by this incredible country.
Here’s a quote I wrote in my E-book Greece - Gleeful Glimpses: “You need to understand that Greece is not a pretty country - rather it’s stunning and at times awesome, and always fascinating. There is a magical quality to Greece - it's a place where you can have a sudden overpowering feeling of belonging on God's earth, where you can discover self-worth and well-being. Rugged mountains rise so high the clouds stick to their shanks like skirts. From pallet-box blue seas, dry rocky islands rear up like dragon’s teeth. Tiny towns, like spilt sugar cubes, cling precariously, scatter across, spill down, or cower between steep hillsides of grey stone. They pool into cities in the lush valleys, or spreadeagle at the edge of perfect bays.”
I asked two friends of mine what it was that drew them back to Greece not once, but many times. One said “It’s the amazing ambience.” The other said “It’s a step back in time.”
It’s all true...
