Greece is one of those places that just speaks tranquility, I would love to travel there.
U said it better in one sentence than what I've tried saying in the whole post haha. You should check it out for sure :)
Oh believe me it is in my perspective to go there.
hahahahahaha simple! Though for posts u gotta make em lengthy even if they don't need to be or else it appears ur doing no work and getting to much $$$ hahahaha
same to you dear, i also love to be there that has an attachment
Wow!
This is a beautiful post @kevinwong!
Beautifully presented.
It's great to see the adaption of crypto-currency too.
Well done mate.
Btw you might wanna have a look at my post

I'm sure you will love this place.
Thabks again for this lovely post.
Achievement unlocked.
"Whatever happens at Mykonos stays at Mykonos."
you where an amazing company to be with. Athens can become unbearable hot as you noticed I really enjoyed the entire week from the meeting after,as much as I did our chilling days at Mykonos...
@onceuponeatime does deserve our deepest of gratitude as he outmastermind me at hosting that event and bringing you all guys from Loutraki to Athens with that bus. Until next time I hope to see you all soon.
Likewise man and thanks for the company :)
I wish I would have known. Would have been well worth a trip back to Athens and Mýkonos. Good to know you had such fun
oops, I got excited for a sec when I saw @sofi-m's sculpture "pop" out at me, what a lovely smile she has! lol
All jokes aside, sounds like you had an awesome trip! And this is great to hear too, been saying this for a while now for Greece, Venezuela, India, the list goes on...
... and in extreme cases, even have a way to potentially feed their families at times when the SHTF.
Haha i like that her sculptures have that friendly quality to them..
Very true, and on the way back to my home in a taxi, I've spoken at length about blockchains to the driver and definitely could be part of it while the economy is at its low around here.
wowww
Thanks for such an amazing post and beautiful pics! I live not far from Greece and the culture here is so alike )))
I find it amazing there are plenty of familiar faces too like ive known whoever ive met for quite some time, like old friends
Well, Greece is when in ancient times almost every big thing started. So, I wouldn't really mind if Greece stands up for the future economy as crypto is. I find it really beneficial since they come from a very recent and ugly past with debts and banks.
Thanks for sharing these sticking pics, glad you experienced the Greek summer by hand.
BTW your dog! Is! So! Cute! <3
omgsh! How fun. Steemit friends meeting up in real life. I can only image the feeling of happiness to meet friends that you met online. It's like when you find out that Steem money is real! WOW the people on here are real too! I hope I get that experience one day. I am a big fan of some of the folks here. :)
Met some of them during Steemfest last year so yeap that was a pretty amazing time since ive never been in an online community..
That's the best! I'm an acroyogi, and I just went to an acroyoga festival this weekend. I thought it was so neat to run into people I follow on Instagram. I even ran into some of the people from the last festival (we became even better friends since I got to play with them again). I think it is such a cool way to meet people.
I had the best fried calamaris in Amargos, and realised for the first time how good vegetables were thanks to their epic greek salads.. so good that i didnt want to ruin the dinner with the smell of cigarettes. I became a non smoker since that day :) I hope Greece was as magical to you as it was to me~ seriously miss that chill island vibe.
Perhaps a little too sterile and quiet for me, wasn't that used to it and feeling somewhat restless. So whenever theres a beach beanie or bench, that's only time i can chill for real lol.
Lol which was ur favourite?
Top 10 places where I'd travel and give them priorities, Greece is one of them! I'd really love to go there and feel the atmosphere by myself! One of my friend lives in Greece, he often talk about its beauty!
Oh and BTW, That's a cute puppy man!
U'll find plenty of steemit users in Greece :D
Btw, not so much a puppy anymore - he's almost 3 now!
I got to hit up Greece one of these days... How was the cocktails? lol
What kind of cocktails are u talking about? Lol
You're kinda like a Long Island tea fella with shot of silver patron 🥃🍹😎😂
Ouzo with Fanta all the way up !!
Ouzo is awesome! Didnt know itll go good with Fanta..
Wow ur quite right about that. Just that i didnt quite have cocktails by thr beach this time around.. somehow.
Greece is hot again , Turkey face too much problems within their country. But in both the landscapes are incredible. The inland towns, the nature, the mountains the sea...... hard to decide; but I also will choose at this moment for Greece. And those perfect pictures reminder me why. Thanks
Just both. Choose both xD
you should visit Lefkada as well, where you will see sheer cliffs and turquoise waters. very wild and beautiful!
Maybe next year if I revisit, definitely plenty of places to go to in greece!
I'm glad to see you are enjoying your time in my neighborhood with more Steemit crew. :) I should be in Greece next month. Beautiful country.
Oh didnt know youre from the area! Shouldve been apparent lol..
Sorry to hear you are under the weather a bit, @kevinwong! I've been down and out myself as well last week, slowly getting back up again. Hopefully you're feeling better soon too!
Looks like a great trip to Loutraki and Mykonos. Would love to visit Greece one day, so much history there!
There was a Steemit meetup in Athens? Ah, how cool is that! I only just joined a few weeks ago, but would love to meet likeminded Steemians in person. Well, one day, a man can dream...
There's steemfest coming up in November @ lisbon, portugal. I went for last year's and it's definitely something..
From what I've seen so far, Steemfest sounds really amazing! And get this: for a while now, I have had my set on moving to Lisbon.
So I'd love to go there.
Are you going? If you were there last year: care to share a bit about your experience?
I'm still on the fence. November may just be a bit too soon for me, I may be on the other side of the world then (SE Asia, or even Bali). It all depends on how things develop business wise in the coming months.
Yea it was just a good time to interact in person since we're all pretty much strangers who got to know each other on the platform. Lol im flying out of se asia for lisbon
It sounds really amazing. And I'm sure the ones that a lot of the people that really about Steemit and make it such a cool, positive platform will be there. Would love to meet everyone. I'll sit on it, let it bubble in the back of my mind 😉 .
I am glad you had a good time @kevinwong what happens in Mykonos stays there haha. Plateia, so did you find everything and anything there? lol Thanks for sharing Yasou!
Find all I could find xD haha thanks for droppin' in :)
Is it forbidden to take photos of the ancient ruins? Or you really went to Greece and skipped those?
I had a terrible 1-hour phone battery life and was overheating all the time I was there. Anyways, the museum doesn't permit photos too. Something about the flash and chemical reactions, they said. Didn't visit much of the ancient ruins too (and I'm not too big on it - bad tourist lol).
I notice patterns and trends. Last summer Greece made world headlines with "economic crash" and their currency was worth nothing... Flash forward to this summer.. everyone and their brother is visiting Greece for holiday.... strange
Perhaps good time to scout for property there?
Great views @ kevinwong and a nice holiday wish you a holiday in Yunani with friends steemit. Greetings from @berkat to other friends. I come from Aceh (Indonesia)
Is Yunani greece? I thought israel.. must have mixed up the language. Thanks @berkat :)
I'm sorry friend. Congratulations on a friend's holiday may you enjoy this beautiful holiday.
I've always wanted to go to Greece. ..and it even more...what a wonderful luxury have spent your summer there and to meet and spend time with fellow steemians :) thanks for sharing:) :) Kayleigh
The speed of the Steem blockchain just blows my mind every time :D
Its mindblowing enough to be able to support a social platform :D
Greece pokes absolutely beautiful.
I'm loving the blurred shots as well as all the fun activities that you did not only benefitting you but also the local communities.
Just to top it off you have a picture of your adorable dog haha
how was the food in Mykonos?
Greece has always fascinated me, such rich history and beautiful landscapes. What did you like most?
Thanks for sharing your experience!
I like the food there, seafood especially. The people are awesome :D
I missed you already 😘😘😘😘
My skin is peeling btw like a snake haha
the place where olympics started the place who have the oldest history and the language the great greece the love of mine the real asset of this earth, nice post
Hi @kevinwong i hope you enjoyed all the moments in Greece. Nice to meet you!!!
I did - pleasure meeting u as well!
Awesome photos and a great post
I haven't been to Mykonos but friends said it's a great place to spend a relaxing vacation
I will be going to Greece in 10 days for a wedding in a small stone village.
Small stone village? That paints a nice picture.. grab some pics and do a steemit post :)
It's called Ano pedina , but I couldn't find very relevant pics of the place.
Should look like this
Oh i definitely havent seen any of these structures during my short time there. Must be in some other remote region!
Oh I plan to , believe me .
Let me find the name and then a photo, I haven't searched for it until now.
Sounds wonderful and I especially like the idea that your buddy was so happy to see you when you got back.
Man I keep missing your posts somehow! I guess I have to many people I am following clogging up my news feed.....
Anyways what an awesome trip! I love Athens, truly a magical place! Its so cool that you went there and spent time with so many notable Steemians. For you its almost like they are everywhere!
Great post, thanks for sharing the beauty and importance of your adventures!
Haha, even if 1 post a day will turn out massive once the network grows and there's more follow and such xD
I think the trip says a lot about attention / trust-networks.
Yea, the attention economy is very real.
I really want to go to Greece..someday ;) At any rate, great pics!
Greece is great. I have been there a couple of times. I like the culture, the sun and the people. I hope you had a good time with the other steemians.. But I already saw some other reports so I know it was fun and very nice trip,
My 2nd time in any euro countries so it's pretty new to me, but familiar at the same time, perhaps to the friendliness of the people over there :)
Yeah I read a lot about the friendliness. But is also depends what you do yourself. If you are open for friendliness you will receive it. Whats your next country in Europe?
Greece looks beyond amazing. Id love to visit some day. Actually it is 80 kilomiters from my Country Bulgaria and Ive been cross the border for a ahort time.
The white sea is amazing really and its quite affordable.
Cheera and much love from me.
Hope to swee more in the future :)
Goldie
So near! U should cross the border for a longer time :)
@kevinwong Greece in beautiful place. I visited Rodos and Korfu islands and I think Rodos is better one :) Greek good is delicious! Nice story and looking forward for next ones!
If you have a minute please check my new story about Multimedia Fountain Park in Warsaw, the capital of Poland. I'm sure you will like it!
All the best :)
There are too many islands, hopefully will have more time next year, sailing would be nice. Hopefully there's internet access too haha
yea, too many places I want to see! I would travel all the time but unfortunately I have to work :P
That's really awesome Kev!!! How does it feel to be back in lovley "Malaysia truly Asia" 🙌💫
Same old same xD
You live in Malaysia? <-- sorry for eavesdropping, i got excited cos i live next door!
Just around here sometimes :) - singapore?
Yupp stuck in singapore for the time being, hopefully not too much longer :p
Move to Europe! I really enjoy it so far I must admit even though I miss my island 😣
Greece is just an amazing place in the world! It is mainly the gastronomic scenery and the historical monuments found there that excites me more about that country! The food is just amazing!!!
It's great to hear you had a great time @kevinwong!
The seafood is just awesome :) had a lot of calamari
Yeah i got some feedback about the seafood there with my fellow friends who are chefs working there! In which way you prefer it?
Whoa... having the opportunity to spend summer in a nice Greek small town it really a great getaway and so generous that it's real and not just a @onceuponatime story.
He...he ... your Daddy come home buddy! (I bet your dog very happy that you are at home again). Nice ! :)
Wish i could bring him along easily!
Your doge is awesome. Is this soft toy yours or you've bought it for him? :D
Oh got it for him coz i was away for quite some time. he's not too impressed with it :o
I also want to go Greece , please tell which place should I see there .
The places i've highlighted :)
The socialists have really screwed up the country haven't they?
forty years ago greece was rich...
Hard to say what is the cause, could've happened anywhere ..
Whooow nice post thank you for sharing.
I really looking forwart to go to greece in the next few mounth.
Greez bluchr

Wow, it's nice to learn that cryptocurrency is in use while you are in Greece. It's sad to see the Greek economy suffering in the hands of politicians. Awesome post and thanks for sharing the beautiful picture!
