Last Sunday we left Thailand in search of greener pastures and summer fan. Greece because I was born there , though I left very young and never reaaly lived there, but because of it I am entitled to Greek citizenship, and could buy (I was told we will see) into the Greek national helth system wich is supposed to be very good.
So I solve the Imigration hussles problem, and the health insurance issues.
We just arived here last Sunday afternoon, so we realy did not have time to do anything other than visit a couple of friends.
We rented a small car for three months (Nissan March, Automatic, they call it Micra here) it was very inexpensive to rent 420 euros a month, but I am not crazy about the car, I will give it a few days to see how I like it and if I dont I will exchange ir fpr a Pugeot 208 or a Suzuki swift.
ith the war in Ukrain fuel is very expensive here , about $8.50 a galon ($2.27 a litter) ,
It cost me 100 euroes to fill up the car!!
Everything else is relatively inexpensive. House rental for about $600 p/m outside Athens.
Now I have to watch my weight because the food is heavenly.
Last nights meal , 5 soulaki sticks a 3 servings of Greek fries 15 euros.
And nice Red sweet wine 7 euro a bottle .
A bit cold here now, We came early because my one year extension in Thailand was expiring and I did not want to renew it since we were coming here for Easter later anyway, so we came now.
Picture from terace of place we are staying at, the white car is the rental. We are 5 min from the sea, but you cant see it now, because it's hazzy , I am told that they are having an issue with dust from Africa this week,
Anyway we are getting ready to drive to the Peloponnese, to visit my btother who has a sumer home at Aigion, a two hour drive , and if we have time we will visit Kalavryta and take a ride on the mountain scenic railroad. Will post from there.
