Gad-ding (verb): go from place to place in the pursuit of pleasure.
The only thing the Greeks do in a hurry is drive.
Perhaps their driving style is just an extension of their lifestyle: colourful, loud and passionate. Either-way, it takes a little bit of getting used to. I had never been to Greece before and I am happy to report it lived up to every and all expectations. The people are friendly and welcoming, the food is delicious and the history simply breathtaking. We had three stops on our itinerary: Athens, Mykonos and Santorini.
Athens 7th-10th of April
Temperature: 12- 23 and sunny. Cool mornings and evenings with a chilly wind, but warm during the day if you are in the sun and out of the wind.
Suggested Attire: Jeans (or long skirt), closed in, comfortable shoes, t-shirt, puffer vest and denim jacket.
Fun Fact: Athens has the most theatrical stages in the world - 148 in total, more than the West End and Broadway combined.
