What We'll Miss
and Won't Miss
About Greece...
After four and eight
long years respectively, The Guys @
DCGreeks.com went to Greece for three weeks
for the AHEPA Supreme Convention, a whirlwind Greek Island cruise on the Aegean
Sea, and a few days to visit virtually all our family that we still have over
there. While we won’t bore you with too many details about the AHEPA Convention,
we’d like to take a stab at offering a series on what we’ll miss and in some
cases won’t miss about Greece.

things in Greece seemed to cost a lot more than what they did back in the day,
even when compared to the inflation we’ve experienced in this country over the
same time period. This not only struck us from the perspective of Americans
visiting Greece for three weeks, but from the perspective of the young adults we
met who lived and worked in Greece on a full time basis.

movie outdoors even amongst the hustle and bustle of Athens that can take even
the most unwatchable film and make it into an interactive experience.
