In Turkey a man will not sit next to you. On a bus he will stand if he has to. In a mini van where he can't stand, he will plaster himself next to the door so he won't touch you. A woman will never sit between two men. But in Greece the bus I took to a museam was practically empty and an old man plops down besides me.
In the museam I see lithographs of spread legs, pubic hair and breasts with men's hand on all of the mentioned. You won't see this in Turkey.
Greece is twice as expensive. After I left my dingy room in Mythilini I went to lovely Molyvos. I was met at the bus stop by a man offering me an apt for about $30. I took it. I have two large windows that look out to gardens and one with a balcony with a glimpse of the ocean. It has a kitchen so I plan on cooking. The first thing I'm making is tzatziki (a yogurt dip) which is great spread on bread here.
There is also a pool down the road I can use so I'm off to there or the beach where I'd actually rather swim.

Hey there! You seem like someone who can help me on selecting my trip. Greece vs. Turkey. I would love to do both, but can't at this time. SO! I'm really investing between the two and would love your tip. Which place did you enjoy the most? Going in Sept or October. Thanks so much!! I'll check back in a couple days :)
