Greek TBers (and other travellers)- Need your HELP

Foxworthy925 · #1 04-23-2008, 05:33 PM

I'm stoked.

I'm flying out to Athens, Greece this Friday. I forgot the name of the hotel, but I'll find out and post back.

Anyways, what are some things I definitely should do?
Anything I HAVE GOT to see?
How are Greek women?

Thanks

Huh say what now?

Foxworthy925 · #4 04-23-2008, 09:09 PM

Seriously now. No one likes Greece here?

Foxworthy925 · #5 04-24-2008, 04:41 PM

One one more plea. Anyone?

I am surprised nobody has replied to this.

I have never been to Greece, although if I ever get to go to that part of the world, Greece will be one of my stops.

Greek women are like all other women. Some are hot, some are not.

TB & Dingwall forum member fullrangebass is a Greek resident. He happens to have the largest known collection of Dingwalls anywhere in the world (I've lost count at around 22). I would definitely swing by his Dingwall museum and taste some of Sheldon's fine creations.

Painting Easter eggs.

I hope I'm not too late.

Orthodox Easter is this week, you'll see a lot of these on Sunday:

The downside is that most shops will be closed on Saturday evening and on Sunday, some may not open until Tuesday.

Go see the Parthenon. Eat Souvlaki.

Greek women may or may not float your boat, but greek drivers generally suck.

Where exactly will you be staying?

^^^HOLY **** what is THAT?^^^

We're (just my dad and I) staying at the Intercontinental Hotel in Athens for a total of 8 days. I'm bring my bass along too, which is pretty nice.

Greek drivers suck? How so?

that thing is a lamb on a spit, and it's d**n delicious. especially the cheeks. yum yum.

Athens is a nice place to be in greece. Lots of history. One thing not to miss would be Roman Agora IMO.

I've been to Greece on Holiday many times - although have only been through Athens a couple of times and hated it - noisy, smelly, terrible driving etc. etc.

I really like the Greek Islands though and the Peninsulas of Halkidiki. I've been to Spetses,Corfu, Kefalonia,Parga,Zante etc.

The best thing for me is swimming/snorkelling in the Mediterranean - having great Greek food outdoors, overlookin the beach - with Greek Wine! Heaven!

Thanks for the replies. I'm here enjoying Athens. Tomorrow, we'll be heading out to Sounion for the afternoon. In either Athens or Sounion, are there any music shops (I mean for instruments) that I could visit?

Many crappy ones with a crappy selection and crappy prices. The good ones are few.

Try http://logothetismusic.gr/ to see some nice Warwicks, G&Ls and Dingwalls. I might even be there tomorrow to try out a couple of BBE pedals.

Have you eaten well so far?
