1.Don’t drink Tap water 💧
2. Don’t try to figure out the Residential address.
3. Don’t be afraid to talk to locals. (Most people are friendly )
4.Don’t expect the first price given to you. Negotiate for lower price. Car rentals / housing
5. Must get an assigned seat on a ferry ⛴️ boat.
6. Ask you server to recommend local dishes.
7. Don’t try to Rush the pace ! Accept the slower pace
( slow down )
8. Don’t flush toilet 🚽 paper. The pipes are small than USA or other countries.
Thank you for summarizing everything!
Thank you for all these tips!!
My pleasure!
Thank you so much 🥰 this video was so informative. And yes, your vibe definitely resonates with me. Well done!
Yay! Thank you Michael
I learned so many things. thank you for sharing ❤️
My pleasure!
Great video Anastasiya, I do agree with almost everything you are saying! My only objection is the "negotiating prices" thing. Many prices in Greece are fixed and not negotionable. People will get offended if someone will try to negotiate prices which are fixed to everybody and not negotionable (like the tickets of the buses and the ferries, the restaurant prices - stated on the Menu - etc.). There is room though to negotiate prices in places like tourists' shops, when buying from street vendors e.t.c. It always depends on the overall "context".
I thought she meant for rentals?
You are lovely, a bit too wordy , great advices though
Greece is not just the Cyclades!
TOP INFO AND THE FOOD LOOKS GREAT
Thank you! Another food video is coming up tomorrow!
Excellent info
Can’t wait to try their food
Your videos are great
Thank you so much Stacie! New food video is coming up tomorrow. I ate so much while filming it during lunch that it's almost 11am the next day and I am still not hungry🤣🤣
very helpful, indeed, thanks
My pleasure!
Fantastic video thank you !!!
My pleasure!
this is so helpful, thank you! :)
My pleasure!
I cant believe I haven't found this great channel before this is awesome
Thank you so much! Welcome to the channel!
You are amazing and totally get the foreigners mind set. Very different and handy to prepare us. Thanks again
Thank you so much Mercedes!
Very good advice!
Thank you!
LOVE your freckles! Amazing.
Thank you☺️
Thank you so much for this info! We're heading to Greece next week, staying in Kefalonia and Athens.
Have the most special trip!
good to know all this .n Thank you
My pleasure!
Thanks excellent video.
Thank you!
Thank you so much!
You got it!
Great lists of "don'ts". Even at the grocery store on an island they said not to drink the water. Glad we have not had to have anything shipped to us. We've been full time traveling 4 months and it was on a Greek island the first time someone gave us a ride. Still haven't gotten invited into anyone's house yet. Hopefully one day!
Thank you guys! Love watching your journey! How do you like Greece so far?!
@@StayFabulousTL thank you so much! There is so much to see. It's incredible to be one of the first Americans to visit we can visit the sites without being over crowded. Keep up the amazing videos and tips!
@Cherish God we have a filter in our home in Kos, but it’s kind of a pain in the butt to change. Some of the restaurants also use a filter… my kids still use the bottled water, they’re 12 years old, so - this is what they’re used to
I’ve been going to Greece for over 30 years and I agree with EVERYTHING she said. When it comes to negotiating, you can often get a better price if you pay cash for rentals etc. Also, don’t waste your money in Santorini, it’s completely over run with cruise ships and twice as expensive
The water in athens very good
Good video. Just came back from 2 wk in Greece. Drank tap water all over Peloponnesus, and in Hydra and Spetse ( both are islands).
Hi Awesome.... Information is just fabulous and Great....Thank You For Your Good Guidance Buddy👆🏻👍🏻🌹💙❤💚💛
My pleasure!🙏
Just found your channel looking to come to Greece from the UK
Nice! Have a wonderful time!
We will be in Greece this spring. Can’t wait and slowing down is the best advice! ❤ God knows I am always in a rush! 😂 I just subscribed to your channel! 🎉
How exciting! Have the most wonderful time! And welcome to the channel❤️
Perfect to know.I don’t drink tap water here either.
I’m coming to Greece 🇬🇷 in April!!!
So excited for you! Enjoy!
I have visited Crete elounda I want to find the right place to go I love it their I have been to Rhodes and celphalonia amazing awesome place
That thumbnail 😂🤣🥰 ❣️
Hahaha Love it!
I’ll watch the vid as a treat later lol
Yea, sometimes I wonder if I push it too far🤣🤣 But then again, this is just me being myself and having fun
@@StayFabulousTL Hey it’s all good ❣️. You’re a fabulous babe creating her own life trends Hehe (but seriously, A., you’re A.wesome , u know how to have fun and express yourself freely .... it’s one of the beautiful ingredients of your special magic 🤗
So okay, great tip on pre-booking a ferry seat!
I had to laugh at how one needs to adjust to the slower pace in Greece.
My tendency would be to get really mad at a driver blocking the entire road.
I’m sooo efficiency-minded. I don’t take drugs, but I might need Xanax to deal with Greece, or travel with a Tibetan Yogi lol 🧘♀️
" I don’t take drugs, but I might need Xanax to deal with Greece" I am cracking up🤣🤣🤣 Yea, same here- very "efficiency-minded," Italy taught me how to slow down a bit but Greece is taking it to a whole new level🤣🤣
Tap water in Greece is greate. Athens has the best water in Europe and that happens to the 90% of the mainland. The landscape is the reason for that.
But the islands is another story and that make sense of course, because of the lack of natural resources.
Greek food, I can 100% agree... I don't like Seafood in the United States, but when I has in Greece I had octopus and several fish dishes...it was so much better than in the US!!!! I still don't eat Seafood, unless I am in Greece!!!!
I love Greece but it’s got so costly now I speak the language a little and love Greek people they are wonderful like family ❤
Hi, I am looking forward to my "food and wine tasting" tour of Greece in October; will be on the main land, but will visit Crete. So excited. I appreciated these "don'ts" in our video and listened with interest to the one on the "toilet." Hmmm. We are so spoiled in the US, so I will keep this one in mind. (I've been to Italy many times --similar situation with toilets there). Agreed, things really slow down, but I like the slower pace in restaurants.
So happy you are finding my videos useful for your trip! I enjoy slower pace in the restaurants as well. Unfortunately, in the more popular islands they now tell you for how long you can have a table. Usually, it depends on the amount of people, but it can be anywhere between one hour and a half and three hours.
Stay away from taxis, they will rip you off. There is a train from the airport to Athens. Monastiraki is a good place to stay in Athens, maximum 3 days needed, central, close to the sites, restaurants and vibrant. Then head south to the Peloponnese. Nafplio is worth it. Voidikilia beach is a MUST! Check out what to do in the Peloponnese. You won't go wrong. The north of Greece is nice, but offers little. Crete is MAGNIFICENT!!!! Chania is a good place to use as a base. Balos beach is a MUST! but there are so many nice beaches in Crete. Crete is a civilized island. Whilst they want your money they are far more interested in making you happy, the money is the bonus for them. Hope this helps.
Tap water quality in mainland Greece is impecable. The problem is in the islands.
Yep, very true.
I think you live in my village in Paros (my summer house). I saw Piso Livadi and Marpissa. Hope you are having a good time!
Thank you Ioanna! Paros is incredible.
You can drink tap water everywhere except for the islands (not all of them). You can cook with tap water there though.
Even with very old pipes?
When you arrive in Greece 1st you must forget the time! Enjoy the slowness
Exactly!🙌
Last summer I visited Rhodes and got the information that Rhodes has very good and drinkable tap water.
I still bought water on bottles, though...
I am so glad I have watched this video. As an American, I don't know how to slow down. I would need a patient guide to help me to slow down.😁
Oh trust me, same. I've been living in Italy for years now and I still struggle with being as relaxed as Italians and Greeks. But it's so inspirational to watch.
Wonderful advice Anastasia....but I'm Canadian....much too shy to haggle!
I get it! It's not for everyone.
I came across your videos recently since I'll be traveling to Greece next month. These tips are very helpful. I'm still kinda weary about the toilet paper situation lol.
Haha! When I got back to Italy after 6 months in Greece, it took me some time to adjust back to the toilet paper situation. It's weird how you can get used to pretty much anything. Have the best time!!
How bad was the toilet paper situation?
Have I missed anything?! Enjoy, fabulous!
Hard to hear in a noisy roadside store in sunny rura1 philipines 😊pls add closed captions 😁😀yassou
I'm planning to keep a large bucket of water next to the toilet to add to the toilet. The toilet water level in Greece holds a very small amount.
I'm used to USA where the toilets hold more water and the pipes are much wider. Toilet paper cannot be flushed down the toilets in Greece because it may clog the narrow plumbing pipes, which all need to be replaced.
I’m sold I’m going to Greece instead of Portugal😍😍😍. Thanks for your videos!
Oh yay Lilli! You are going to fall in love with Greece!
@@StayFabulousTL can’t wait 😍😍
Me too😂😂😂.
You totally should go to Portugal! It’s wonderful
I was in Portugal last year and I love it. I want to go back. But I am so excited because Greece will be our destination this year! Can’t wait!
I just subscribed. Do you recommend landing first in Athens and taking a ferry to the islands or should we get a flight to Santorini? Thanks
Welcome to the community! It depends which islands you decide to visit. If you go with Paros and Santorini, for example, and you have 5 days in Greece, I would recommend getting a flight to one of the islands and then taking a ferry between them. The flight from Athens to Santorini is so quick, we got there in literally 40 minutes. With a ferry it would be almost a full day adventure.
@@StayFabulousTL thank you for the advise, much appreciated!
You’re adorable❤️
☺️☺️
The narrow sewer pipes issue is a thing also in other countries, such in some areas of Brazil for example. I read that in that country you can get slightly electrocuted with those electric showers.
Really?! Interesting. Brazil is definitely on my list of countries to visit ASAP. I grew up watching Brazilian soap operas because there was nothing else on TV🤣🤣 So I always had this dreamy idea of visiting Rio de Janeiro. Plus I really love açaí🙌
Ukraine has the same issues, as well.
Dear @pile333. I’m Brazilian and I still have family over there, I never never heard something like that happened. If the electric shower gets too hot or has any electric issues it’ll automatically shutdown. And some places like in apt has a gás shower. So chill out and enjoy Brazil.
Only God knows how difficult it is for me to take a wad of toilet paper, loaded with shit and throw it in a trash can, also loaded with crap.
@@vikotto We have the same problem in Israel. I use a disposable glove on the hand I use for the purpose then wad up the paper, pull the glove off inside out while holding the paper and then tie it off. Done! No nasty bits and no smell until I can get downstairs with the trash.
Very informative thank you. What about ice in drinks? Is this safe or made from tap water? Thanks :)
My pleasure! Ice in drinks is safe, never had an issue.
@@StayFabulousTL brilliant! Thank you!
Another tip for safe trip in Greece. Don't wear PAOK shirt when you visit Athens. (just kidding). As a salesman i hate price negotiations because i sell in low price.
You may certainly drink top quality tap water in 95% of Greek cities and villages. Only in few islands you have to buy bottled water.
Things have just opened and you have already an enviable suntan.
Haha! Thank you! It's because I am Greece and it has being the average of 24 degrees since April🤣🙌
No, the diameter of the sewer pipes is not 2 inches, is 10 centimeters almost 4 inches, but their course is usually crooked and long, not straight. That's why they clog.
HIIIII. Thank you for all your info. I have 1 question : regarding the ferry from mykonos to santorini, i have the silver ticket and when i called they said ill be given a seat number upon check in! is this good ? the company i booked from is called ferries in greece
Hi! Thank you so much! I never booked with them, but I did a quick research on their website and they seem legit. Plus you can reach them any time via email, phone, etc so in case something goes wrong, they will be there to assist you. I think you are good to go! Happy travels!
👍♥️
Thanks!
Greek food is the best food mousaka
Yes the water part! Some parts of greece have a few of the first types of pipes, which aint that good for health.
❤😊🎉
👏👏
Do most bathrooms have a bidet? Seems like that would solve the toilet paper issue.
Not in Greece, unfortunately.
I miss the Greek people
I enjoy watching your enthusiasm about sharing info. :) Do you happen to know if they have bigger pipes on the mainland of Greece or is it just the islands where you should not flush toilet paper?
Kerry, the timing of this question could not have been more perfect. I literally just released a video on "the don'ts of Athens" where I talk about it - czcams.com/video/RwQK-0XxmaE/video.html
You should not flush toilet paper NOWHERE in Greece. There is always a bin provided.
All of Greece you should not flush paper down. I’m regards to tap water, not all of Greece has bad tap water. Just depends where you are.
You should not flush water paper all over Greece not only on islands.
@@1971legend And especially, when you get invited to someone's house. More of a problem dealing with a family, more so than a hotel.
How can I reach Zakynthos?
Share your itinerary
You may reach Zakynthos by a direct public bus from Athens.
What's the best site to rent apartments in Athens, Greece?
I just rented mine as I am going to Athens next and I rented it through airbnb. I've been renting through them for years now and never had an issue. After what happened in Mykonos, I am not taking any more chances.
Greek here correct In everything except the negotiation. Given the hospitality and the free snacks and meals it may sound awkward for those working in tourism to try to lower the prices on accommodation for you. They will think you are a cheap tourist. Going out to eat n drink and try to negotiating prices it would frustrate them. Do not do it. They will think “what a gypsy” yes we say that not into your face but behind your back. Now the islands we don’t drink the tap water there because there are small particles of sand in the water. If you drink it though you won’t feel sick or anything but it isn’t healthy. We cook with bottled water as well in islands. Ice cubes with bottled water or a machine. Athens and mainland have good quality tap water nothing to be afraid just sometimes you may smell a bit of chlorine (a slight smell) because we don’t have osmosis here so avoid it but if you drink it you won’t get sick. It’s just a slight aftertaste which I personally don’t like it. I am just living in Athens but I drink bottles water and cook with bottled water. Many Greeks don’t do it. They use tap water. But I get personally annoyed with the slight aftertaste of chlorine in my tap water so I avoid it.
Prices are fixed. If you want to haggle, go to Turkey.
Paul, I always get amazing deals in Greece and Italy simply by asking for a discount. All the Greeks and Italians I know do the same. I don’t see what’s the big deal about it. Obviously, if they are willing to give a discount, it works for them.
Turkey'??? Nah....greece is better...
In May June, and late Sept, I always haggle for renting hotel rooms. Greek hotel owners are notorious for profiling, They think they know what you can afford. I never tell them I'm from Canada and give them a Greek address. I know for a fact they will soak the Germans and English more so than Australians and Canadians. After I haggle and get what I want, they will tell me don't tell the Germans here what you paid for the room. They're a hoot. I have heard them say to Greeks; don't tell the Canadians what you paid for the room. I had the identical room that an English couple had; they were paying 105 Euro a night and I was paying 70.
Does Greece shut down on the middle of the day or close early like some other European countries?
Most places shut down in the middle of the day for 2-3 hours.
What time frame approximately
Really about the tap water? I drank the tap water in Athens and Lefkada, lived in Greece for several months ... well, I'm still alive :)!
Hello Anastasya. I am an Australian of Greek descent on both sides of my family, and I have a question for you. You say that in Greece, a driver might stop in the middle of the street or road for whatever reason, and he won't care about the vehicles he is holding up. That is very inconsiderate and irresponsible to me. What if an ambulance tries to get a critically sick or injured person to a hospital?
Well, of course I am sure it's a different story then. But overall, what I noticed in countries like Greece, Italy, etc people take their time with whatever they are doing.
@@StayFabulousTL May I ask you what country you are from originally?
hey, i'm planning to visit one of the Islands in May. so far your videos have been very informative, so I have a question for you!
I want to visit, but can't decide which Island would be best for me. I really want to enjoy sandy beaches, and also would like to visit an Island where there are parties and night life. I prefer not to visit Crete because it's too mainstream and too large, and I just can't get cheap tickets for Rhodes. What Islands would you recommend?
Hey! Thanks. Have you looked into Paros?
@@StayFabulousTL i did. but can't find much about the prices and party life.
Do you know how is with the restrictions and Corona tests right now?
Hello I'm Greek and I live in Crete but I totally recommend Kerkyra
@@eirini5086 your Island IS way better than that!!!! Ionian isnt my favorites...το Αιγαίο είναι μαγεία...καμία σχεση
I have visited Crete several times. The north coast is very touristy, the south coast is much calmer and prettier. Use your search engine to look at photos of Elephonisis, in the west of Crete. Loutro is a nice little village, with the pretty hotel Phoenix a five minute walk over the headland. This is the site of where St. Paul first arrived in Crete. You can hire kayaks here, or go swimming.
If you are interested in hiking, Samaria Gorge is a steep trail down to the sea, about 18km long.
In the east of Crete, you can visit Spinalonga. The last leper colony in Europe, they moved all the inhabitants of the small island to Athens in 1949 but the remains of their houses and shops are still visible. Small ferry boats will take you out to the island.
I recommend hiring a car or quad as there are so many interesting places to see and visit.
Purchase a good guide book before you go. Lonely Planet, or Rough Guides are both good. Enjoy your holiday.
Nice video!
I'm Greek and i can verify everything you said is true.
One thing only, tap water is of excellent quality, especially in most large mainland cities (Capital city Athens included ) but please do your research beforehand, just to be on the safe side. Greek islands mostly lack drinking water, so use bottled water (pretty cheap in Greece).
There's a typical stereotype of Greeks being fat.
Well.. come here, stay for more than just a couple of weeks and watch your body weight rising..
Food and drinks are cheap compared to the States or other western countries, absolutely delicious and of good quality and quantity.
Most Greeks will offer to pay [ κερασμενο=paid by me/on the house] for your meal or drinks once you become friends.
In Greece, things that seem unimaginable to other countries, here are the norm.
There's even places in Greece, (e.g. Crete island) that locals get offended if you do NOT accept them pay for your food/beverages/drinks!
Enjoy your stay here!
Thank you so much for sharing! Greece is truly a special place
so my question is, how did the inhabittants of the islands survive for so many millenias without having bottled water ?
They boiled the water.
It wasn’t polluted then
Did you move away from Italy?
I traveled Greece for 6 months during the pandemic, but I am back to Italy now.
Just a comment .. when "negotiation" comes... "taxes" are gone... Meaning you wont get a receipt , you pay with no taxes, and state get nothing. Just saying.... All prices in Greece includes taxes. When they tell you lower price than shows, that means they except taxes and dont give you receipt. Also... When you pay, ALWAYS claim your qr code receipt. Otherwise they put tax difference in their pockets... From a Greek...
Explain briefly. It
Not like elastic
So called mineral water that has been heated up in a plastic bottle for who knows how long! No no. Plus what with the plastic bottle? Just bring your own metallic bottle and refill it at your hotel.
Agree 100 percent 👍👍👍
Hope you don’t have a ferry to catch when they block the roads lol
Wonder if they can install a fire pit inside the bathroom
🤣🤣 you are too much
It is a bad idea to drink tap water when traveling internationally anyway.
It depends where you are traveling. For example, in Rome they have clean mountain water that's available to you on every corner as well as at home. But on most of the Greek islands it is not recommended to drink tap water.
@@StayFabulousTL , after getting dysentery some years back, my doctor told me that almost everywhere you go in the world, the locals will tell you the water is drinkable. He also said if you don't want to get sick again, don't drink the tap water. I have followed that advice and never gotten sick again. I will go with the bottled water, thanks . ;)
Actually, most locals in Greece warned me about drinking tap water. I don't think doctors have knowledge on every place in the world. But you do you
@@StayFabulousTL , no, of course not. I would rather stay safe than sorry. Once you have been horribly ill and lost 15 kgs it is just not worth taking a chance in my humble opinion, fabulous person. And it has worked for me. I have been to dozens more countries and never gotten sick again. ;)
I just don't get what to do with my crap covered toilet paper, so do we wipe and through it in the bin, have you ever met me after a kabab, its gotta stink so bad in the hotel
the only think i hate about grecce is the toilet lol
Bring sanitary bags for the toilets to put toilet paper in the bins 🗑
thanks for the tip!
So I could just bring a roll of dog poop bags....
Do not spread your palm to someone with open fingers....Google it with the term μουτζα to see pictures what I mean exactly....It is traditional gesture of insult !!
Yeah, I learned that the hard way! I once did this on vacation in Evia, completly unaware of the meaning. And believe me, the lady was not happy with me! 😂
I'm afraid to drink the tap water in Greece because you never know. And most of the pipes are very old and contain many heavy metals such as lead mercury arsenic copper etc. I'm totally serious.
Utter rubbish....lived here in Greece for 50 years...not true.
Flush the toilet paper down the toilet. We do.
I flushed toilet paper down the toilet, and it blew up! Lots of disgusting 'backwash' all over my hairy kolo! UGH!
AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST .................. DON'T GO THERE ! 😂 🤣 😂
imagine having diarrhea and won't be able to throw the toilet paper to the toilet...
...dont accept the first price ??? sounds like they are crooks, huh? ...how can this be "fun"?
In some specific very touristic places they kinda are. For example in places like Mykonos or Santorini they are literally drinking the blood of tourists, foreign and Greek alike. But generally the prices are fixed and if you start haggling around as if its some kind of oriental bazaar you will only make everybody mad. Just stay away from tourist traps.
Cmon....greece is beautiful....if you dont visit,you will regret it Trust me ..im greek
@@joek600 : Santorini is beautiful. If you travel a little way inland, away from the cliff top restaurants, prices drop dramatically.
I remember reading that Santorini was once thought to be the home of vampire bats. An early tourist review perhaps? The beaches in the southern part of the island are black volcanic sand.
Oia, in the north, pronounced eeah, is really pretty and popular for its sunsets.
