These are all over the place in Greece, so they will not come as a surprise. They sell trinkits like cheap earrings and stones, some small statues which you can find in any store. They will hussle you somtimes though to try to get you to approach them or to get a sale, just be warned and don't feel pressured to buy anything.
If you are looking for things like this to bring back home, perhaps go to a real store where you can have some insurances on the product. Leave a Comment

When walking along the side of the harbour where the day trip boats go from this year 3 women introduced themselves to us and asked where we were from then one started to tie a piece of coloured string with beads on around my wrist then said words in her native language and blew on it saying leave it on for 3 hours for luck and another did the same to my GF then asked for money. As I started to walk away the other woman took my hand and started to read it she said you have children I said no she said now you pay me I said what for and walked away. On a brighter note this year we only got asked where we were from once by the holiday club salesmen.
If the African women speak to you just be polite say hello and carry on walking, don't stop and talk as they are so quick they have you before you realise. Same applies to the holiday club sales last year we were stopped several times this year I just said not interested and carried on walking.
If you like walking round the harbour then head for the road where the windmills are or around the commercial harbour as we never got pestered there. Leave a Comment

Young man on scooters drive by and ask you the same questions over and over again: "Do you speak english" .
All they wanna do is take you to a need bungalow to talk about "time sharing". Ofcourse they all do disguise is like you've won the lotery...
Pay a lot for a nice looking bungalow for your own use.
Well it's not only for your own use, but also for all those other people who have fallen for the "time sharing"trap. Leave a Comment

 So glad to escape! by jayhawk2000
It's gusty, crowded with surfers and if you're not careful your little rental car is going to lodge itself into the sands of death. Which is exactly what happened us and which gave us a sour taste of Greek hospitality.
There are several tavernas here, but no-one was the least bit interested in helping us out. Everyone kept pointing to the next taverna along, no-one knew who owned the truck parked out back and no-one was interested in helping to push. For all they knew my insulin could've been overheating in the trunk but they were past caring.
The surf school was happy to lend its tractor they use to cart around the surfboards and it took them 2 seconds to pull us out...for a price.
Now, back home in Kansas people would be running up to help, no questions asked, no money needing to change hands. It's what I would've done for someone in a similar situation. When people are in trouble you give him a hand, not stick your hand out.
So *sptew* on Prasonisi! Leave a Comment
