Things I'll miss about Greece...


  • The food
    • Such good food and such fresh ingredients. It doesn't get much better than that!
  • Incredibly fresh and juicy fruit
    • The Farmer's market had the most incredible fruit. The fruit back home won't be able to compare.
  • The ease of public transportation
    • It really was designed for stupid people...and I thought it was hard at first...
  • Mountains
    • So pretty. It's so nice to wake up every morning, open my shutters and see the beautiful mountains on the horizon.
  • Our incredible group of people 
    • We seriously had the best group of people. I've made some incredible friends who I probably never would have met if it weren't for this trip. I hope we can stay in touch. And our leaders were perfect. They know so much about life here and the culture and they really prepared us well for this trip.
  • Palmie Bistro
    • PALMIE :( I love that place. It's so Americanized....which I guess isn't good since we're on a study abroad trip, but it's so good and they give discounts and it's right there if we ever need food in an emergency, and oh my gosh, the chef's potatoes :O 
  • Drinking age of 18
    • It was really nice to be able to order a glass of sangria or wine with dinner. I'm going to miss being able to order drinks when I get home.
  • The lack of humidity
    • I'm pretty sure I'm going to choke on the humidity when I get back to Florida. Greece is hot, but it's not humid and that makes the heat so much easier to bare. 
  • The numerous coffee shops and bakeries
    • So convenient, especially if you need a quick snack on the go. It's so much better than buying an icee and a bag of chips from the gas station...
  • Crepes
    • Christmas crepe! White chocolatey, banana goodness. I don't even know what I'm going to do without that amazing crepe in my life :( 
  • Mousaka
    • Without a doubt my favorite Greek food. I don't know why...I just love it!
  • Merenda (a European off-brand Nutella but better)
    • They don't have it in the States :( It's even better than Nutella!
  • Being so close to so many social hubs
    • It is so easy to go out and find something to do if you're bored. Boredom doesn't exist. Even just people watching is really interesting. 
  • The endless incredible photo opportunities
    • I got more practice with my camera than I ever expected to get. This country is absolutely beautiful. Of all the different landscapes we saw there wasn't one that wasn't breathtaking.
