Tourist queues on the Acropolis

Every day the image in front of the Acropolis is the same. Hundreds of tourists from all over the world make a queue and wait patiently under the hot sun to see and admire the famous monument.

Most of the tourists  try to protect themselves from the sun wearing hats, sunglasses s and light-colored clothes. But there, we met a Muslim from England who wore a black bourgeoisie. The woman told us she is not warm because her body and her face are not  exposed to the sun

In the queue I met small children from Greece who interviewed tourists to practice the foreign languages they learn. The children asked the tourists what is  their opinion was about the return of the sculptures of the Parthenon .

On the streets around the Acropolis I met many Indian tourists. Like this couple of Doctors who came for a vacation listening to the advice of one of their compatriots who visited Greece last year and was excited. They just returned from Santorini. Surveys from Indian travel agencies show that Indians coming to vacation in Greece have recently risen by 20%.

Citizens of Athens sleep with a gun under their pillow

Mr Theofanis Panagopoulos is 90 years old. He lives in the center of Athens (Polygono). He has a gun near his bed and he is ready to use it if a robber enters his house. "I will shoot him. I am not afraid. I have a licence for the gun. I  am sure that a lot of Greek people have guns at their houses" he says. 

Burglaries happen every day even beside police stations. This happens to Papagou area . This woman lives only 300 m from the police station but the robbers took everything from her house to Imitou street.

At the same area  an elected woman at the municipality posted at facebook that she was robbed but there was none at the police station to help her

TOURISTS COME TO GREECE AGAIN AND AGAIN

One time is not enough for many tourists who visit Greece from all over the world. They come back again and again. Today at the airport Eleftherios Venizelos I met a musician from Switzerland who came to Greece 39 times since he came to Lefkada island for wind surf.

I also met a couple from USA who fell in love many years ago in Santorini and since then they come each year with their young son.

Finally I met an artist from Japan who travels to many countries and posts his experiences to his website.

Greece is very beautiful country and waits all of you to discover it....
