As the resident and property owner in a tourist mecca in Northern Greece, I assure you we are not lining our pockets with a tourist tax. We cannot even keep up with the damages and inconvenience of the disrespectful deluge of spoiled demanding toddlers falling off of mountain paths and vomiting on my front porch in the middle of the night. Try to remember the way to behave when you’re a guest in another country. Open your eyes and pay the 20 Euro.
Thanks for the feedback Judith. Sorry to hear your corner of Greece is one of the overloaded ones. I went to other parts of Greece last year that were almost empty. It's just that these tourist taxes are often the 3rd or 4th tax the visitors are paying on top of the ones on their flight, on the place they're staying, the car they may be renting, and more. From what I've seen, the money is seldom going where it's really needed and doesn't have much impact on visitor numbers. We'll see if this new crop is different.
Lots of valuable information here. I'm also a big fan of Osprey backpacks!
Well-made and with a lifetime guarantee. Glad you like them!
