Do you want to spend your holidays in a sunny Mediterranean country? Do you want to combine your holidays with this year's Olympic Games? Have you finally chosen to visit Greece this summer?

Then you have to reconsider because of the situation in Greece. For example would you ever decide to spend your holidays in a war zone? Of course not, vacations means entertainment not living under a constant threat.

Some advertisements of the Olympic Games around the world are misleading tourists like you by not telling the whole truth. Athens, Thessaloniki, Iraklion, Patra and Volos (all the cities were Olympic events are taking place) are militarised zones! Do you want to spend your holidays surrounded by thousands of troops and armed to the teeth police?

All police officers are carrying guns in Greece. In the last five years there more than 100 confirmed -unarmed- persons, both Greeks and foreign citizens, shot "accidentally" by Greek police. The last one was a 22-year-old person in Iraclion of Crete shot because he didn't stop at a police blockade. The police officers opened fire with submachine guns.

Greece furthermore is the country with the most fatal car accidents in the EU.

We had already advised all our customers to avoid visiting Greece this year, as we cannot guarantee their safe vacations.

We advise you to choose among a big range of Mediterranean destinations but we strongly encourage you to avoid Greece.

*all photographs are very recent... keep in mind that visiting Greece will encounter at least once per week such a situation as shown in the photographs
