Eat some Greek yogurt while you are there. If a guy called Yannis offers to give you a ride for free, don't go. They rape you and don't call back.

That's amazing, how did you end up being the only person on the plane? I actually only heard of a story like that once before. I always assumed that the airline would cancel a flight if there wasn't enough passengers to make a flight profitable.

For your connecting flight going to Athens, I don't ever been on a flight where passengers were that vocal about reclining back in their seat. Personally, I am not really bothered by it with the exception of extreme reclining and when someone doesn't want to return their seat to the original position during meal times.

No idea? It was Qatar airlines anyway so they were going back to HQ i suppose.

Haha I saw one angry dude pushing the reclined chair in front of him really hard just to make a point after being ignored. I got told off in similar fashion too. Not even during meal..

That's quite possible. I think the only thing I can think of is if that plane had to be somewhere else. As in, the plane you were on was scheduled to be the plane for a different trip. Oh wow, I don't think anyone has ever complained to me about reclining my chair.

I am surprised you went to Greece, I thought Greece was having a lot of problems with economic migrants and public order at the moment.

As I know Greece is bankrupt due to money issues on the international front and impacting the locals which may explain why shops are closed early because no-one have any money to spend.

Hi @kevinwong I have 2 houses in Greece, Athens and Sparta, its beautiful this time of year there! You are really going to enjoy it. I like to go in August for when things get less hectic there! Oh and get use to the crazy drivers and motorcycles and if anyone gets on your nerves tell them ESE MALAKAS! kidding Enjoy :)) wish I was there now!

I'm sure you have great guides/friends there but if you run into anything you need help with let me know. If I can help you, I will! Other than that the islands are great and the nightlife is even better! Enjoy :))

No, I live in Florida when my grandparents died they left me the homes. But I have family In Athens and Sparta, cousins, uncles, aunts, etc. Do you need something? I can call them and have them meet you if you need something? Where are you staying? I go every year in August when it slows down to open the homes up and let air in. The house keepers do a crappy job with everything, the garden is always overgrown! Let me know if I can help you or you need help with anything :) How long are you staying? Did my latest video confuse you lol cause I was at the beach??

Ah I'm alright over here, just wondering if there are more Steemit users that I can meet up with since there was a bunch a few days ago. I've got til Sunday :) Probably rent some scooter soon to lounge around the streets. In Loutraki at the moment!

I have only met one other Greek on here and he is from Cyprus! Loutraki is nice the views of the ocean are great! So you are in Corinth. Did you see the Acropolis? The ancient Greek Olympic stadium is nice too. If you go to the Acropolis, there is a region called Plaka, you can find so much cool stuff there from A-Z and get great bargains. If I were you though, I would stick with to the islands :)) Enjoy the rest of your time there.

I dream to know greece sometime in the future! so have the best of times there... since I've heard/read lots of blog travels the people say is a hidden gem to walk through the alleys and corridors in the dawn, before all the tourists and noise hit the city... so maybe you would like to explore a bit?
but of course all depends of the level of tiredness you might have... btw enjoy!

haha thats good for you cause you probably had the best service ever in the flight. I have been flying to Vancouver.

Anyway, cant wait to know more about your trip in Greece!!

you may want to visit this place for brunch or coffee:

you can go to Ladokola Bowling Center at Profitis Ilias.
There is a restaurant/cafe there.

Wow that's an incredible happenstance, no one else on the plane, it would have felt like airforce one and the twilight zone all at once, although i suppose with Ol'mate Drumph on Airforce One these days I'm guessing the crew feel like it's the twilight zone all the same.....

The good thing is that in Athens you literally see everything. There are places for every type of person so in one hand it's good you haven't planned anything, just go out and explore! Don't forget to try as many different types of food and drinks as you can, i bet that experience will be unique!
Ahh and don't miss the cafes,clubs,bars and in general the entertainment and nigh life !!

just stay out of Omonoia at night it's not that safe :P

They do do drive like crazy there. They have one of the highest car accident rates in Europe, especially hitting pedestrians (be careful!). Last time I was in Athens I witnessed a car accident. 3 cars smashed into each other. I am looking forward to more posts from Greece!
