Going forward, dear readers, I want your opinion. Do I stop here? Do I carry on? Perhaps it would be nice to change the questions a little, if there are different things people are interested in. Or perhaps it would be nice to also get the point of view of Greeks living and working abroad… Call to action: I’m really keen to know what everyone thinks. Even if it’s ‘Enough! Move on to something else.’
Letters from Athens 
Hello Marina-love the interviews with Greeks-as my paternal heritage is Cretan. Keep on it is enjoyable. x

I have enjoyed all of these, Marina. Perhaps Greek and Cypriot ex-pats would be a good progression?
Best wishes, Pete.

With a computer on strike have had no way to tell you that methinks you should do what has seemed natural to do so far: what you have thought of and people you have found special – these are your posts and we would not be here if we did not enjoy them and learn from them! Please do follow your own curvy roads of Greece and let us come along with you!!

I’ve found the interviews full of insights about life in Greece, so I’d love them to continue. I’d also find it interesting if you interviewed people who have left Greece. Whatever you do, though, has to be your choice and your passion, otherwise it will be a drudge.

Carry on of course! Greeks abroad sounds good too. It’s not always as rosy as we think

I have a few to catch up on as I only discovered your blog halfway through the year. It’s a good formula, helps people understand what real life can be life in Greece. I find it interesting that it often mirrors exactly what Italy is about 🙂

Yes, I think Greece and Italy are quite close in mentality – with differences, of course. I love Italy and feel quite at home there.

Marina. Your blog is always interesting whether you are talking about life in Greece or interviewing Greek entrepreneurs. It’s interesting. Would like some more blogs on the economic news in Greece. Are things improving?

Thank you, Mark. No, things are not really improving yet. I will do a post about it – I’ve been trying to avoid gloom and doom and the refugee situation…
