Greece is full of tourists. You can't get near the major attractions
only as part of a herd being shoved through as fast as possible. By

Tourism ruins the things it comes to see :-)
In the tourist areas the Greeks just want to rip you off.
Away from the tourist areas the people are OK. (As everywhere)
I hear that since the latest financial calamity/unemployment, the
crime thing is getting worse, so you need to check this out. Should
be some good rioting to watch. If you get good pix it can finance your
holiday!

We shall be avoiding the areas where that sort of thing goes on.
