Greece Overview

General notes:
You can drink and smoke anywhere. You can park a car anywhere. Lots of one way streets. Not many English speakers. The national drink seems to be coffee. Common beers are Amstel and Heineken. Internet is expensive. Most shops including supermarkets and pharmacies close on Sundays. Greeks only turn their hot water services on for 20 minutes before showers, then turn them off again. Most houses have solar panels installed. You drive on the right side of the road. Footpaths are narrow.
