Whether you’re a native of the land or traveling on vacation, there are some things that you need to know about Greece before you make your next visit. Greece is a place of great culture and heritage, and it would be wise to know of Greece’s great history (not the stuff that they use to teach us in school) and customs.
Here is a list of the top 10 things that I believe that everyone should know about Greece before making your way across the Mediterranean. If there is something that I failed to mention, follow me on Twitter @MikeFazelian and comment on what you think should have made the list!
