Resolved Question: Greeks Islam and travel...?

We have in America a few millions of Greeks but I was always confused with this culture. Someone told me that Greek men are very dominant and their women are submissive and it is understandable since Greece is an Islamist country like Iraq and Afghanistan is extremely poor because they are bankrupt I also know that they hate Americans because we believe in Jesus. I saw in TV they were burining American flags. Women in Greece are treated as second rate citizens just baby machines that's why Greeks make 6-8 children. Do Greek women wear burqa or veil? do they have right to vote? are they allowed to have education? The law in Greece is Sharia? Is safe for an American to travel to Greece? should tourist women cover their head? men and women have separate beaches? Thanks for the help. more

Resolved Question: On holiday in Europe ...why did we keep getting stared at?

I went on holiday with my family in Greece. We had a great time but it was spoilt by the constant stares from, well basically, white people. It wasn't just a brief stare - but they would constantly look at you, no smiling, with a slight hint of hostility. We entered restaurants and we were stared at. We went on a small boat trip and the boat fell silent as we boarded the boat. We were constantly stared at wherever we went. Whenever we applied sun block at the beach people looked shocked!! In this day of Michael Jackson and Barack Obama why is this still happening????!!! It wasn't the Greeks who stared at us, but the other tourists - Germans, Italians etc. In the end we would stare back or would stand still and beam back a childish smile. I recognise that some people have never seen a black person (and the sun made us pretty dark) in real life - so I do not mind being looked at. But being stared at felt constantly felt hostile. A few children asked me about my hair (it was braided), skin even teeth! Which I found refreshing.....but PLEASE............. more

Voting Question: Who can help me to modify it in a normal conversation way?

My hometown is a coastal city and is famous for its beautiful beach. Every year, the summer sunshine, gentle sea breeze, attracts large numbers of tourist gathered there. Also, I enjoy my summer holiday there every year. People can swim, dive, play beach volleyball, or just enjoy the sea-view. Along the beach was a row of houses, which provide accommodations to visitors. After dark, folks can have a barbecue there. All of the house look different form each other. For example, one of them is a Mediterranean style one, with white walls, blue roof and windows, grapes falling form fence. The garden of the house is decorated with bricks and planted strange flowers in pink and dark-red on the ground floor. On the first floor, there is an open-air balcony on which people can enjoy a magnificent view of the sea. Living in that house makes tourists relax and refresh and just feel in Aegean of Greece. more

Resolved Question: How can you diagnose an abusive relationship?

I know this is horrible. But sometimes I wish my husband would either cheat on me or full-square hit me in the face enough to knowck me down just so it would be cut and dried, like I had a justifiable reason, black and white, to leave him that noone would judge me for. Then I think I'm being stupid and childish and things blow over and then I kick myself for being so ridiculous and our relationship is fine. But my husband has a dangerous temper. He is so volatile, he swears like a sailor at the teeniest things, like running out of milk, or not being able to find his keys, which I've learnt to ignore. He is comfortable with throwing about put downs for stupid reasons, which I also have learnt to ignore....I am not so pathetic that I need to run crying to the bathroom when he calls me a terrible housewife or complains about the cooking. In general he has never gives me compliments. I can count the times on one hand that he has looked me up and down when I have gotten ready to go out, but he still has never said anything. He never says I love you. In fact after 2 years of dating, I had to ask him if he did when I fell pregnant, and even though he said he did, I have always had to ask him to tell me. He always puts down my friends, and although he doesnt put down my family he will never actively socialise with them when they visit, even though he claims its the language barrier (he is Greek and we live in Greece) but he has no problem making best friends with any tourists who come to his cafe and inviting them to go to the beach with us or telling them he'll visit them in the Winter. He has never been a womaniser and he barely drinks, he is fairly good about always being home. But if our child acts up, I'm afraid that he might do something. In general he is quite strict, but there has been many occasions where I've felt I've had to intervene, snatch her away from his path or away from his hands. I dont know if he would have done something in those instances but I do not like they way he yells at her and smacks her for what I deem to be not overly huge things. Yes maybe she broke a glass for example, but she is two, telling her it is bad and making her help me clean up is good enough. Yelling blue murder at her until she is red in the face from crying and smacking her I think is way overboard. And then there are the bad instances. If they happened all the time, I may have left already, but they really only happen maybe once every 3 or 4 months apart from all the other stuff. He has whilst our baby was in my arms (she was 1) grabbed my arm and dragged and pushed me about the room because he didnt like me answering back smart, it only lasted maybe 5-10 seconds because he probably came to his senses, but I was terrified, we were right over the glass coffee table and I was completely off balance. He pushed with such force I fell over onto my behind...and he clipped my nose as he did so, which may or may not hae been an accident, he seemed really shocked when I went over, and was trying to pull me back up and say it was nothing etc, I wasn't bleeding but I felt like my nose should have been gushing with how it felt. And today, because I wouldn't give him the baby (she is 2 now) because she was having a bad tantrum and I was afraid that he might really make her worse and smack her hard if I gave her to him, he smashed the remote against the wall. I yelled at him to stop and to sit down, and he grabbed at my face, I guess he wanted to hit me and then stopped himself. I ran up and locked myself and the baby in her bedroom. I was not afraid of him hitting me, I never really am, but I just wanted to be away from him when he was in such a state. He threatened to break the door down which he often does when these things happen. But this time he did. He smashed the glass and unlocked the door. He didnt do anything he just told us to go down stairs. So I had to sit there and listen to him swear about this is the thanks he gets for working two jobs, and f- the house we are building and pretty much swore about everything in our lives and me, until he went to work. If you listened to these isolated instances you'd think, leave. But because they only happen like 4-5 times a year, and all the other times he is a fairly sweet and loving husband, charming, a good father etc. It makes me so confused and screwed up. I love him, I always have, but when these instances come around, I just think, do I deserve this? Are the good times, good enough to let it go? And then I think I am being a silly brat, that its a cold hard world out there and that no marriage is perfect and I cant leave everytime the going gets tough. I dont know...Im just venting. more

Resolved Question: Is this double standards or what?

I have been to Greece and her islands many times. I love the place. We can go to topless or nudist beaches and nobody blinks an eyelid! So what happens in Crete last weekend? A party of 'respectable' men go for a week's holiday, dressed as' Nuns'. They are sober (even the police admit that) - but they are arrested and slammed up in prison for two days - in conditions that quote: "you would not ask a dog to poo in!". This club has being doing the same 'fancy dress' thing in different Med resorts for the past 40 years! The 'Cretans',as is their proper title, took offence and banged them up like drug dealers! I was there 2 years ago and my wife was sunbathing topless on the beach, next to a church ad a small car park. Any complaints - absolutely not! I have the pictures to prove it. She was in the majority! The official answer regards the 'Nuns 'was that it "offended the Greek Orthodox Church and public decency". WHAT! The tourist 'nuns' were let out of prison and followed around town, where they could walk into a 'newsagent's and buy a pack of pornographic 'playing cards', without as much as a 'tut' from the old grannie who was serving them! They say religion starts more wars than anything else. Surely this is a prime example! PS:One of the shopkeepers remarked upon my wife's boobs going red and suggested she buy some 'special cream'! I am extremely broad-minded. But I hate double standards - religious or otherwise! more

Resolved Question: What do you think about Albania?

What do you think about Albania Albania is in the heart of the Mediterranean, on the Adriatic and Ionian Seas, Albania is fast becoming one of the world’s most interesting getaways. Still relatively unspoiled by globalization, tourists will notice an inspiring mixture of civilizations and cultures - making this European country truly unique. Nestled in between Greece, Macedonia, Kosovo, and Montenegro, and across the Adriatic from Italy, Albania boasts blue and turquoise seas, beautiful beaches, snow peaked mountains, rivers, lakes, and forests. As well as stunning nature, Albanians themselves are famous for their hospitality, and tourists are welcomed with heart-warming generosity. Albanian history and culture is fascinating. Butrint, one of the world’s archeological wonders - and a UNESCO World Heritage site - in the south of Albania provides a glimpse of Mediterranean civilization from the Bronze Age through the Greek, Roman, Byzantine, Venetian and Ottoman periods - all atop a cliff overlooking Corfu. It’s not to be missed! Home of both Mother Theresa and the great 15th Century hero Skanderbeg, Albania today offers not only beach and mountain holidays, but also a vibrant city life, a relaxing outdoor cafe culture and you will see that it’s quickly evolving in a myriad of directions http://www.lezha.eu more

Resolved Question: Classical Turkey, Greece and Bulgaria in 11 days?

I will be flying in and out of Istanbul and will be there for 11 days from April 1 this year. I am wondering what would be the best tourist route to see Classical Turkey, Greece (and maybe a glimpse of the most beautiful island heh) and Bulgaria in 11 days. I am not very much a beach person, so I am thinking that a ferry ride from Piraeus to Samos and onto Kusadasi may suffice. No idea if it is going to be scenic. I cant seem to get much info from travel guides nor googling. So I thought I would ask. My tentative itinerary is as follows: Day 1 Arrive Istanbul. Leave Istanbul on Filia express to Athens Day 2 Spend a day in Acropolis Day 3 Delphi Tour Day 4 Take ferry from Piraeus to Samos to Kudadasi - Any suggestion of which ferry that runs at this time of year? Day 5 Ephesus tour Day 6 Gallipoli Day 7 Istanbul - Personal agenda Day 8 Edrine - Personal agenda Day 9 Sophia Day 10 Rila Monastery Day 11 Sophia?Poliv back to Istanbul - Is bus the best way or train? Day 12 Fly out of Istanbul Appreciate if you can advise of specific routes, transport details and approximate cost. Any other travel tips or suggestions to itinerary most welcome. Please also advise any tips for travel as a female if I choose not to join local tours. Any tips for those tours like Ephesus or Delphi or Galiipoli appreciated. I will be staying in hostels. Any tips welcome. Yep I am on a budget. Don't mind walking but I do have a bag in addition to a day back pack. If I were to take public transport, where are the storage facilities or locker room details. Much thanks, Pearl.Thank you for your informed response. Are you suggesting that I take tours? I travel well, so 6 hours is not a big deal. I am just not aware how easy the connection points are, if I were to tug along a big bag and a back pack. The problem with tours is that they seem to start from Istanbul rather from down south. So maybe I have to reverse the order of my travel. Further suggestions welcome. more

Resolved Question: "The british are assholes" Look what I read in the news!?

By SARAH LYALL Published: August 23, 2008 MALIA, Greece — Even in a sea of tourists, it is easy to spot the Britons here on the northeast coast of Crete, and not just from the telltale pallor of their sun-deprived northern skin. Phil Harris/Mirrorpix An injured British tourist lay by a curb on a recent weekend after a fight in Malia, Greece. The New York Times British tourists have caused havoc at the Malia resort. They are the ones, the locals say, who are carousing, brawling and getting violently sick. They are the ones crowding into health clinics seeking morning-after pills and help for sexually transmitted diseases. They are the ones who seem to have one vacation plan: drinking themselves into oblivion. “They scream, they sing, they fall down, they take their clothes off, they cross-dress, they vomit,” Malia’s mayor, Konstantinos Lagoudakis, said in an interview. “It is only the British people — not the Germans or the French.” Malia is the latest and currently most notorious in a long list of European resorts full of young British tourists on packaged tours offering cheap alcohol and a license to behave badly. In Magaluf and Ibiza, Spain; in Ayia Napa, Cyprus; and in the Greek resorts of Faliraki, Kavos and Laganas as well as Malia, the story is the same: They come, they drink, they wreak havoc. “The government of Britain has to do something,” Mr. Lagoudakis said. “These people are giving a bad name to their country.” They are also hurting themselves in the process. A recent report published by the British Foreign Office, “British Behavior Abroad,” noted that in a 12-month period in 2006 and 2007, 602 Britons were hospitalized and 28 raped in Greece, and that 1,591 died in Spain and 2,032 were arrested there. The report did not distinguish between medical cases and arrests associated with drunkenness and those that had nothing to do with it. But it did say that “many arrests are due to behavior caused by excessive drinking.” So it would seem. Reports of scandalous incidents rumble on regularly here and elsewhere, helping to cement Britain’s reputation as the largest exporter of inebriated hooligans in Europe. Earlier this summer, flying home to Manchester from the Greek island of Kos, a pair of drunken women yelling “I need some fresh air” attacked the flight attendants with a vodka bottle and tried to wrestle the airplane’s emergency door open at 30,000 feet. The plane diverted hastily to Frankfurt, and the women were arrested. In Laganas, on the Greek island of Zakinthos, where a teenager from Sheffield died after a drinking binge this summer, more than a dozen British women were charged in July with prostitution after taking part, the authorities said, in an alfresco oral sex contest. More alarmingly, a 20-year-old British tourist partied with her sister and a friend into the early hours in Malia also in July, then returned to her hotel room and — although she had denied being pregnant — gave birth. Her companions say they returned later to find the baby dead; she has been charged with infanticide. And in Dubai, also this summer, a British man and woman who met during a drinking bout were arrested and charged with having sex on a beach, after repeatedly shouting abuse at a police officer who ordered them to stop. All of which leads to a natural question: Why? “I think that in their country, they are like prisoners and they want to feel free,” said Niki Pirovolaki, who works in a bakery on Malia’s main street and often encounters addled Britons heading back to their hotels — “if they can remember where they are staying,” she said. David Familton, a Briton who works in a club here, said that it was a question of emotional comfort. “It’s because of British culture — no one can relax, so they become inebriated to be the people they want to be,” he said. Worried about the increase in crimes and accidents afflicting drunken tourists, the British consulate in Athens has begun several campaigns, using posters, beach balls and coasters with snappy slogans, to encourage young visitors to drink responsibly. “When things do go wrong, they go wrong in quite a big way,” said Alison Beckett, the director of consular services. “What we’re trying to do here is reduce some of these avoidable accidents where they have so much to drink that they fall off balconies and are either killed or need huge operations.” What do you reckon? more

Resolved Question: Is swimwear still allowed as casual wear in European coastal (beach) towns?

When I was stationed in Europe in the mid-80's I visited the island of Rhodes, Greece and Costa Brava, Spain.

For more recent travelers is this practice still common? more

My boyfriend and I will be vacationing in Greece from January 5 through January 13. I would love some ideas on where to visit and what to see. I am half Greek, and I speak the language, so any non-tourist stuff is great. Also, we will be staying with my family members, so hotels are not an issue.

Resolved Question: Best place for a holiday in Greece in mid September?

I'm planning to go on a 10-day vacation with my 2 friends (21 years old students) to Greece in September and need help choosing where to go. Any recomendations on a place that 1) Has good lively nightclubs (Hope they are still open in September?). Esp. nightclubs in a classic sense - dancefloor with a bar, not a bar with a small place to dance nearby. 2) Nice clean beaches. (I've been to Paralia Katerini and I loved the sea (Adriatic?) - it was crystal clear with fishes swiming near the shore.) 3) Idealy a relatively big city where there're some cafes, place to visit - not just a collection of clubs. 4) More of a young place with tourists of students-age. As I understand, there're 4 candidates for this list: Mykonos, Rhodes, Crete, Corfu. Can you comment on these 4 with criterias above in mind? Some simple comparison would be apreciated. Also, Could you tell anything about the fires? Were these places damaged significantly? Wouldn't like to travel to a burnt place. more

Resolved Question: My sister and I participated in the MOST AMAZING PROGRAM in northern SPAIN, Santander. Its a gorgeous and safe

Its an incredibly beautiful spot, a very safe BEACH RESORT and not many international tourists, mostly local. We enjoyed a good number of greatly planned activities and excursions such as Latin dancing course, bullfight, art classes, Roman route hiking trip, boat excursions, we would go to the beach everyday, too as it was just right there! Paella dinner at typical Spanish Fishermen´s quarter, middle age village, Guggenheim Museum and so much more!!! We loved it there so much we visited twice (beautifulspain.com), however after those two best experiences ever, we would like to try another country in Europe, and a beautiful location, safe and well planned and organized just like that one. We are afraid that we will always keep comparing and it will not be as nice. Any of you have been to any place you recommend? Maybe in Italy? Greece? SO many thanks for your help. more

Resolved Question: Where to go in Greece?

Can anyone suggest somewhere to go in Greece, that has not been taken over by "chavs" and tourists, But is more for couples than kids on the piss and is a little more exclusive but still has good entertainment, food and beaches? Thanks more
