What do the Germans think of the Greeks?

Question

There are a lot of German tourists coming here each summer, so i was wondering what do you guys think of us? =)

Answer 1

Such a nice country, such a nice people, have a nice food, nice weather, nice culture and more and more.

Also people working from Greek in Germany, hard working and friendly people. You don't hear any problems with them.

Answer 2

I'm only half German, but still:

I see Greeks as warm and open-hearted people...oh, and they always hug you - sweet!

Answer 3

well greece is currently the most sexually active country (oficially). germans often go to greece on their vacations for the sun, the culture, the beaches etc. those are the positive things they think about you. the only negative ones are that they think you are "anmacher" (in german) which is like a "wannabe macho dude"... thats pretty much it

Answer 4

we think of them as funny, lovely persons with a big heart

Answer 5

it can`t be so bad.

they make holiday in greek cos of the beaches, the weather, the food, the religion (it is not a muslim country), the landscape.

in turkey/egypt are more and more russians now. nobody want to make holiday in a russion area.

many germans own summer cottages in greek. to buy a house on the beach with a great view and 3 bedroom/bathroom for only 250.000 € - that`s impossible in germany.

Answer 6

I've been to some European countries, but I really never have been to Greece. It never crossed my ways. Maybe it was because I wanted to stay out of the way of all those German summer tourists, maybe because it's that your language is so hard to read. (No, that's a lame excuse; that didn't keep me from visiting India.)

Maybe the reason why I havent come to Greece yet is: When we see Greece on German TV, it's mostly about holidays, and when I meet German people returning from Greece after a fortnight's stay on one of the tourist grills, they're deeply sun-fried and either telling about their hotel arrangement and the food, or about how the pool attendant woke someone up with a bowel of water to move her to her room and avoid a stronger sunburn, and I'm asking myself:

This ain't Greece, is it?

I'll see Greece somewhen, but be assured, I'll not be accompanied by such people. I'll rather learn the Greek alphabet, hard as it seems.
