Not: Groupon’un Türkiye versiyonu.

Another problem is that, a 500 ml bottle of water costs 50 cents, whereas diesel fuel costs 1,2 Euros and unleaded fuel costs 1,5 Euros per liter. Therefore, fuel is almost at the same price as water. I don’t think that the main reason is that the fuel is too cheap. On the contrary, the water is too expensive. A side note: The Duty Free shop in İstanbul was a little cheaper than the one in Athens.

There were many Yorgos-look-alikes and Aris-look-alikes in Greece, just as there were many “businessman” in the beach and at the traffic lights. The sea was really nice, just like the Aegean Sea, it was going deep first, then shallow again, and then deep once more…

Final word: I loved Athens

Best advantage of Greece over Turkey: You can buy porn magazines or play cards on the streets. Don’t get stuck with the details, the main point is that it is a more open culture.

Advantage of Athens over Ankara: You can go swimming in 30 minutes

Athens is a very nice, lively, and historic European city. This made me realize that the (possibly) only things American about New York City are skyscrapers.

Girls are not afraid of showing skin. Feels like a summer place (which it is).

There are lots of mini markets, bagel or corn dealers on the streets. Protests, angry wall paintings, street shows and concerts, on-the-street eating at restaurants, possibly with live music players asking for money, or the rose-seller guy chased off by the waiters: everything you’d expect.

The bad: Some people. Just as in Turkey, there’re always people trying to take advantage of the fact that you are a tourist.

Don’t want to pay for something you have much better alternatives for? Yeah, right. Try these two:

Jango: A very nice service, with very good selection of music and similar (up-to-3) artist-based radio channels as Last.fm.

AccuRadio: This is not an artist-based radio station, but the available channels are very well-picked, and you can even mix-and-match channels with their radio-builder now. Definitely worth a shot. Also try their iPhone/iPad app…

Worth mentioning: thesixtyone

Do not eat at the Yaka Balık Restaurant under the Galata Bridge in İstanbul. The place is very expensive, and both the fish and the service is really bad. The first and the last time I was there, they sold a very small amount of fish for a very high price, and the fish wasn’t even properly cooked. The moment they understand that you are not a native, they try to cheat you. BE CAREFUL!
