@ArchVisionW I am Greek. I cannot pick Greece as it would not be fair. The other countries are all wonderful, but I would pick Poland because I have seen them dance in this suit and it was very beautiful.
@lpniki_09 η αριστερή διανόηση (?) αναδεικνύει τέτοιους λυρικούς πουτσισμούς ως δήθεν αντίσταση στο κατεστημένο, ώστε να χειραγωγεί, προς όφελός της, τους ουκ ολίγους διανοητικά αδύναμους. Δυστυχώς, με επιτυχία εξ ου και το 62% του δημοψηφίσματος
@pan017585811348 True! We should say b.G. before Greece and a.G. after Greece, when we want to put human civilization in a reference timeframe, like we do with Jesus for measuring time
@AppelaiosII Το είπε ο Καραμπελιάς ξεκάθαρα: Η σημερινή Ελληνική αριστερά είναι βασικά εθνοαποδομητική και αυτό αποτελεί σοβαρό πρόβλημα για την Ελλάδα
Well, as someone living in one of Turkey’s top tourist destinations, I have a few words in response to the "do not go to Greece" advice coming from such people. I am writing this now from the Macedonia–Greece border.
- Neither I nor my family go to the most popular beach in our town, where I learned how to swim as a toddler, because of the terribly low quality of services and the overall security situation. Prices are abnormally high, the quality you get is abnormally low, and instead of experiencing the local Aegean culture, you are forced to listen to loud music from non-local cultures imported from all around Turkey. Everywhere has turned into kebab shops, and people struggle to find local Aegean food and services.
- The seasonal workers coming from other regions usually have absolutely no care for tourism industry as they see their parts as only temporary thing. Many times, we all feel ashamed of the things they do. There is no real organized and planned tourism sector in Turkey anymore, there are simply places paying the lowest possible salaries to seasonal workers who are expected to work under mostly inhumane conditions. Results are obvious.
- Shopkeepers often treat local tourists like shit and scamming is everywhere.
- You want to buy "organic eggs" sold by lovely local peasants on the roadside in the villages? Think twice. One of the many examples; When one of them asked my wife why she was frequently buying eggs from her and traveling through that area, my wife told her that she was not a tourist and using that route to go to her workplace. Then the villager said, “Oh, why didn’t you say so before?” and went inside to bring out the real organic eggs. The ones she had been selling outside were simply bought from factories and sold under the label “organic.” This is just one of many examples we faced over the years.
- The security problem is on another level: nonstop fights, many times involving pistols and even rifles, while law enforcement fails to provide full security. Towns with a normal population of 100,000 can reach 1,000,000 during the tourist season, causing a serious lack of manpower and exhaustion of law enforcement.
- Opening a new business in touristic towns will majority of the times cause you to face with the "mafia" that will either prevent you to start a business or cause troubles. No good citizen wants to invest and face with non stop tensions on his business.
- A dog died this winter because of an electrical leak from a street lamp right on the most popular seaside promenade of the town. Another person recently died near our home, in another seaside location where our house is located. People and animals are dying in 2026 because of electrical leaks in the streets of a top tourist destination.
- You cannot use many nice beaches because they are “private" and more and more beaches once known only by locals are being sold to hotels, blocking public access.
- People use their Bluetooth speakers everywhere, and even a lovely sunset can turn into a cacophony of noise coming from every group, because nobody respects anybody else.
- Yet, just 10 km away from this atmosphere, you leap into another world. The quality of every single food item, from cucumbers to shrimp, becomes much better, while prices are often much lower and portions are bigger. You know and feel that you are in the Aegean: the music, the atmosphere, the food, the quality of waiters, shopkeepers, and tourists, everything. The first thing you feel once you land in Greece is relief. At least from our repeated experience, thedifference in public order and everyday calm is enormous.
- Nobody gives a shit whether you are Turkish, Chinese, or Martian. On the contrary, many times we were spoiled and even felt positive discrimination for being Turkish. Both of my sons love Greece because every shop or restaurant spoils them with small gifts, nice gestures, or things like giving them extra fries for free while joking and talking with them.
And it is not only about the quality of services, prices, or atmosphere. In Turkey, we cannot find many of the things we are looking for. Since e-commerce from abroad is practically banned, I have to go to Greece to get accessories for my motorcycle, buy the nerdy stuff we love, or buy Lego sets that are not available in Turkey. So when you need something that you cannot buy in Turkey and are forbidden to order from abroad, you simply pay a very reasonable amount of money, land on an island, and get whatever you want but cannot find or order in Turkey.
The older generation has absolutely no clue what the youth in Turkey are going through or how they read the situation. Even ultra-Turkish nationalists go to the Greek islands for many of the reasons I mentioned above, and I have written only a few of them here.
And finally, do people have to make their travel plans according to the political views of others? I am pretty sure Cihat Yaycı must be deeply disturbed by Chinese policies toward the Uyghurs based on his overall political views. So, can he also say, "I urge businessmen and ordinary people not to visit or make business with China because of our national sensitivities?" I highly doubt.
@MinPres For Greece and Cyprus, Turkey is exactly what Russia is to Ukraine and Baltic states. Occupied half of Cyprus, and threatens to encroach on Greek sovereign rights and sovereignty, because they are more powerful.
@ozzie8811 Retard, Turk, Turks who visit Greece and are attacked by nationalist Turks, confess that everything is much better in Greece, much cleaner, and Greek people are really kind and loving to Turks. Instead they complain that everything in Turkey is shitty, they are scammed, etc.🤣
@UzmanLe Greek fighter pilots consistently are voted as the best by their colleagues in NATO Top Gun exercises. Turkish "pilots" 🤣 always rank the worst, behind Belgians, Estonians, etc. 🤣🤣🤣 Retard Turks, the girl will give you a valuable lesson over Aegean at some point
@Grecanicus@suyusekicen In NATO rankings the Greek pilots are steadily the best. The Turkish pilots are laughing stock, always last, after Belgians, etc. 🤣😂
