Bad day

by solopes

We were in Mikonos, waiting for our flight to Samos, when Fernanda noticed a newspaper's front page with a large photo of what seemed to be a plane crash and something like "ZAMOZ" as tittle. I went to the company's desk, and asked if it there was any problem with the flight. The receptionist, nervously grabbed the counter edge and said:"Olympic is the safest company in the world". "Congratulations! But did you have a problem, or not?"She repeated the slogan, I insisted, ands she whispered: "Please don't panic!""Please! YOU don't panic, and stay calm. What happened?" Finally she admitted: There was a crash in Samos, and 18 people were killed.I rushed to a phone (we weren't using cell phones those days), and my father announced me that the crash was already known in Portugal, with my brother waiting for the passengers' list from the Greek embassy.We proceeded without complaints.

Asklepius.

by cachaseiro

Asklepius was the god of medicine and healing and he has even today a presence in modern medicine as his snake that he carried around his walking stick is still the world wide logo for farmacies.There was a sanctuary dedicated to Asklepius in ancient Epidaurus on the Peloponese peninsula and that place can still be visited.

SIM cards and Calling other countries from GREECE

by janetanne

When you arrive at the El. Venezelous Airport in Athens, coming out of the door from where you picked up your baggage, you will enter into a large area where there are some shops along the corridor. Go to the right and proceed to the far end of that corridor, where you will find a small shop called GERMANOS. You can buy prepaid SIM cards for any mobile phone that allows access to changing the SIM without having to 'unlock it', such as is necessary for iPhones. Otherwise, if you have an iPhone, you can purchase a very cheap package where the phone costs from 20-50Euros and a SIM for 5-10Euros more. I recommend all my visitors to buy the SIM called 'WHAT'S UP' from Cosmote, the Greek phone company. If you have more than one phone with a 'What's Up' SIM, you can talk for unlimited hours for 30 days, after which you pay another 5Euros to top up the card! Great Deal. Also, before you travel,...

Athens

by traveldave

The city of Athens is one of the oldest cities in the world, having been continuously inhabited for about 4,000 years. During its Golden Age, the city's cultural achievements laid the cornerstone for Western civilization as we know it today. Its glorious past, coupled with the modern Greek culture, make Athens one of the great cities of the world.The Attic Plain, on which Athens is located, has been inhabited since Neolithic times. The area was an important center for the Mycenaean civilization. They constructed a fortress on the Acropolis, and some of the ancient walls can still be seen to this day. From about 900 B.C., the small settlement that became Athens was an important center of trade and commerce, probably owing to its central location on the peninsula, the stronghold afforded by the Acropolis, and convenient access to the sea.Up until the ninth century, the city-state of Athens...

MAKING PHONE CALLS IN GREECE and TO N. AMERICA..

by janetanne

I use the FOREVER REAL CALLING CARD to call North America. Best time for the money. Not at all kiosks, but you will probably find one somewhere in Syntagma at the central kiosks. Ask around.171 = Tourist Police! Great number to have. They can give you any other number you need or help you with general travel questions. ie, where to catch a bus, if you loose anything, need a doctor in the middle of the night...etc. Call them if you need anything and they can at least give you a number to call or tell you what to do in any situation. I believe you can always call 100 free from a payphone...but, you are more likely, in an emergency, find that there will be someone nearby with a cell phone.As for using your cell phone in Greece, you may purchase a Greek SIMS CARD at any of the Germanos stores, of which there is one in the El. Venizelos Airport and in most neighborhoods in Athens. Just ask...

Rediscover The World

by squashedfaerie

Thank you everyone, I really really appreciate the advice I get here on VT.So...we were planning on booking flights and making our own way over the islands. After a difficult few months at work, we decided that for once we are going to leave it in other people's hands, and have booked with Rediscover The World, who have been FABULOUS, although we may not be staying in our 100% *ideal* hotels, there will (hopefully) be no stress. After many backpacking trips we will actually be doing a "normal" holiday!So, we are in Athens for three nights at the Candia Hotel (I've seen mixed reviews, the worst of which was complaining about a ripped curtain - after 9 months in Asia I'm sure we can cope lol), and then to Aegina (never been there but have been to most of the surrounding islands), to stay at the Karyatides. We are planning on using this as a bolt hole and going to Hydra/Poros etc...It's...

FREE INTERNET ACCESS TO HOTELS AND RESTAURANTS

by greekcypriot

Internet access is a problem when we travel abroad indeed!This is also a problem I face when abroad because I am a guide writer and need my laptop all the time.Both in Greece and Cyprus you can find Cafes or Restaurants that have free internet access. Just ask before sitting to have your meal or coffee.Spot the one with the fastest internet access and stick to it.Another tip is to try and find Hotels with Free internet access,and before leaving stress to them about your appreciation for this free service offered to you.Because I travel a lot myself, I see that more and more hotels have free internet access nowadays, and we who need it so much should encourage them. My fondest memory is the hospitality of the people, the perfect weather, the crystal turquoise safe beaches, and nice food.

Blue Skies

by xymmot

Enjoy the great weather in early spring and drive to the many remote villages to enjoy the culture. The month of May when I was there last was great because the tourist had not landed on the beaches yet. There are many Greeks who return to Greece during the summer time. That is when it gets crazy because it is their vacation also. They tend to go over board to have a good time. I have been invited to Greece many times during the summer and stayed in many different islands. Each one is great and different because of the people you meet. Everyone has a story and the time to tell you about it over a Mythos.(greek beer) Fondest memory is the Blue Skies. I miss the friends I meet when I am there. I return sooner but someone has to work.

by Maria81

Other symbols included bull, eagle and oakRoman equivalent: Jupiter
