Hello Greek Bros,this threat is about your mind. About what you do and what you do not do.Yesterday there was a threat here from a Greek bro about his dislike of hiking. I have been visiting Greece for 20 years now and have seen quite a lot of places. In the last few years I noticed, that I almost never see young Greeks (solo or as a group) visit these places or even travel their country. Every Greek I met is really proud of the Greek heritage and culture.One of my best friends is Greek, he is 60 years old and he has seen nothing of his country. His family has a little summer house at the beach, where he has spend all his summers for 50 years now. He has never been in Olympia, Delphi, Mount Athos, Patmos, Tinos or Constantinopolis. He was never in the Ionian, the Dodekanes, the Sporades or Kyklades, except for one island where he worked for 20 years. He does not like hiking, cycling or any outdoor activity and jokes about only Germans doing these things. What he enjoys, is sitting in a beach bar, club or cafe while socializing. The more people around him, the better, almost to the point where I get overwhelmed by the noise and energy level.So my question is: Is this a thing? What is your explanation for it? Is it a cultural thing? Or just money? Where have you been?
>>546038682If you hike in Greece you die of heat you dumb fuck
>Constantinopolisİstanbul*not their country, sorry gayreek bros
>>546038846You can call it whatever you want, Turkey.
>>546038747Maybe don't do it in August.
>>546038999that's what you idiots do and then they have to pull your bodies out with helicopters in rugged terrain
>>546038846>My pronouns are Türkiye and not TurkeyEven you cannot deny, that there is still a lot of Greek heritage in this place.
>>546039096Why are you so angry? Maybe visit a monastery up in the mountains. It is said, that it calms your mind.
>>546039621Actually I'm gonna hike in germany and contemplate greek tragedy because I want to get angrier. Spazieren gehen in westfalen (the west has fallen)
>>546039816This is what I mean: you go out and explore and visit places - even outside of your own culture.And it feels like Greeks don't do this even in their on culture, of which they are really proud of.
>>546040258Well it's clear to me why. Greece is not very pleasant to hike in, especially in places where there are cultural sites to visit. There is less shade, prickly plants everywhere, sharp rocks, steep, very hot in summer. I was at delphi, very tiring to get ot the top. And you can't reach the area w/o a car, on a bike or something. And it's hot. And islands, everything is divided. In germany you have a huge amount of pleasant terrain and forests. And you have money and romanticist explorer autism culture and nature worship. German founding myth is hanging out in the forest, greek one is grooming a boy in the city.
>>546038682german bro, i'm the anon you were talking to yesterday before the troon jannies deleted the threadas i said, greek nature is wild, full of hogs, jackals and danger
>>546040958>delphidid you do the Itea/Kira path to delphi? thats a good one tbqh
>>546039621thats a really good hike, alongside lousios rive
>>546041191>Kira pathYes but not the whole path. It was summer and I was about to die at the top near the stadium
>>546041120what places did you visit in Greece. I mean not just hiking, but generally. What places have you visited, that are important for your culture? Have you sailed around in a boat?
>>546040958Thanks for your thoughts on this.A Greek founding myth would be the Odyssey. Nevertheless I don't see a lot of Greeks adventuring around in boats. And it is an amazing cruising place!
>>546041652>Have you sailed around in a boat?kek, its not as easy as yoy think.for example, you need to have a flare gun, and to get a flare gun you need to pass through a public hospital psychiatrist and so on. and thats just for the loicensegetting a boat is too hard and expensive>but generally i think i've camped in almost so many islands and i do safe hikes with friends
>>546041120And another question: When I have too many people around me for too long, I get stressed. Maybe the autism is strong in me.I sometimes feel like Greek people enjoy the noise and chaos around them?
>>546042350i dont know, i guess i dont think about thatif there is noise somewhere, whatever, you will just have noise around you and its fine
Greeks are depressed, we also have a very localistic mindset so we don't give a fuck about any other city/places except ours
>>546042827But nevertheless Greeks are very proud of the achievements of Greece as a whole. Why never visit them and ravel in the feeling?
