Why are so many Greek ruins underwater?
Why are so many Greek ruins underwater? In addition to the many shipwrecks over centuries that have filled the seas of Greece with fascinating objects, there are also archaeological sites that are now underwater, due to seismic activity, volcanic eruptions, and geological changes.
Why is the water in Greece so blue?
This glorious blue colour is due partly to the reflection of the blue skies and partly to the fact that the sea does not contain large quantities of solid matter such as plankton, mud and dust floating in the water. The way in which the Greek Sea sparkles is like no other the world over.
Can you swim in the Greek sea?
Yes you can. For the most part the waters at Greek beaches begin to get cold after January.
Is Greece overpriced?
Greece is actually pretty cheap. Greek food, glasses of wine, hostel dorms, and public buses aren't super expensive and you can find some really nice accommodation for between 30-50 EUR a night. There are a lot of ways to save money in Greece without sacrificing comfort.
Can you drink tap water in Italy?
The short answer is yes. Drinking water from the tap in Italy is considered safe. Tap water in the major cities and towns around Italy is safe for consumption, and there are thousands of old-style water fountains dotted around cities, like Rome, where you can fill up water bottles.
