About the video:
Many people can only stay in Greece for a few days and visit only the most well-known sights, such as the Acropolis of Athens, and the typical Cycladic islands with the white and blue houses, such as Santorini and Mykonos. If you are planning on staying in Greece for more than a couple of weeks either during your summer holidays, a semester abroad, or as an au pair, you might want to experience Greece from a local’s perspective.
Here is what you should consider if you want to travel to Greece and NOT be a tourist:
1. Start with the city of Athens and explore the countryside
2. Avoid staying at a resort - choose a small hotel instead
3. Connect with a local - Eat like a local
4. Follow the Greek time schedule
5. Learn some basic Greek
