#86 Travelogue Greece: The Old Continent
▶️ Sometimes you can feel how global forces shape life on a local level. It is said that Europe is an old continent and that the 21st century belongs to Asia. You realise just how true that is when you cross the sea from 🇹🇷Turkey (Asia) to 🇬🇷Greece (Europe). Let’s take a closer look:
History
You’ll find ruins of lost empires all around the Mediterranean. Greece is full of protected ruins while in Turkey you don’t see them much. It’s more modern there.
Population
The Turkish side is quite crowded but in Greece you see fewer people, and most are old, locals as well as tourists.
Economy
Turkey is cheap, tourism is booming and there is lots of construction going on. On the Greek side it’s not like that at all.
👆 You can replace Greece with Europe and Turkey with Asia and it’ll be just as true.
