‘Now, give me a word...Any word...And I show you, how the root of that word... is Greek.’ Gus – My Big Fat Greek Wedding

Most of you reading this have probably seen My Big Fat Greek Wedding and have remarked from it that the Greek people are passionate, friendly, lively, caring, family-orientated, highly patriotic and extremely confused when you ‘eat no meat.’ In my opinion, these characteristics are mostly true of Greek people and warrant a good reason to choose Greece as your year abroad destination. Greeks are also known for their hospitality and making Greek friends will open you up to a completely different way of life.
