“...if the hotel and car rental prices are cheap enough, tourists will come to gawk at them, eat that primitive food, stay in accommodations built 500 years ago, etc...”
Hmm...primitive food is by definition easy to prepare. I enjoy cooking Greek & now have another reason to like it.
As for going there, “why should I travel when I’m already here?”
In spite of the wealth of historic sites, I’ve never had the desire to visit to Greece, even if I could afford it-and we certainly do have plenty of goats and pits to cook them-some people out here make and barter goats’ cheese that is very tasty, too...
