Greece

From the accent ruins in the capital of Athens, to the crystal clear waters of the islands, Greece is one destination you will not want to miss. Known for being the birthplace of Western civilization and one of the first advanced civilizations in Europe, you can look forward to getting up close and personal with ancient history in the city and vacation like a celebrity on the gorgeous Greek Islands. 


Greece:
Athens, Corfu, Santorini. Be prepared for ALOT of traveling. Boat, train, bus.
- TIP: go on this trip through BusToAlps, I don't think I could have done this trip on my own. If you want to go inland hopping, this is your best option, they provide all of the bus, train, boat/ferry transportation, hostels, great activity and excursion options. 

Food:
-Eat as much Feta, Tzaziki, Pita and Chicken as you possible can
-Good gyros, super cheap like 2 euros. If you're on a budget you will LIVE off these, and be totally fine with it. 
-Amazing Frozen Greek Yogurt. Must get!
-Vizentino in Athens, go with a big group, good for big dinners

Hostel:
Athens- Student and Travellers Inn
Corfu- Pink Palace. This place is a party. Every building is bright pink, has a pool, beach access and dinners are included.

Entertainment/ Must-see’s: 
- Acropolis, Athens
- Parthenon, Athens
- Greek NAtional Parliament, Athens

- Monastiraki Flea Market, Athens. BEST place to get gifts for family and friends. Find greek sandals, "evil-eye" jewelry, tapestries, knock off designer bags and much more. 
-Atv rides in Corfu for sure. Had the best day ever doing this. NOT an easy ride, be prepared to hold on tight and get really close to the edge of the mountain but was an absolute blast. I will never forget getting caught in the middle of a rain storm
- Corfu Town
- Pink Toga Party @Pink Palace. SO MUCH FUN! everyone dresses up in these pink sheets that they somehow make into togas and enjoy a night of dancing, drinking and Greek plate throwing. 
- gift shopping in Oia Town, Santorini
- rent motor scooters in Santorini, ride along the island
-Donkey rides in Santorini
-Oia town in Santorini
