This irreverent guide will have you chuckling away every time you pick it up to read. If you've been to Greece, you'll recognise a lot of the characters. If you haven't you'll learn about those you're about to meet!

It is written by Alexandra Fiada, who was born, and lives in Athens. She is an astute observer and commentator of the beliefs and foibles of her fellow country people; from their attitudes and values, obsessions and sense of humour, to their behaviour and their views on government and bureaucracy.

"Self-control - although invented by the ancient Spartans - is not only unknown, but also incomprehensible to the modern Greeks. They are eager in everything: their joys, their sorrows have no moderation. They shout, they yell, they rant and rave for important and unimportant issues alike, in happiness and sorrow. No emotion is considered private enough to remain unexpressed and their excitement knows no bounds."
