My son and I are travelling to Greece mid May 2012 to embark on a different lifestyle. we will be travelling with a view to capture the good and bad bits and then provide tips to fellow travellers by writing about these travels for inclusion in our associated websites.

My thoughts were that this would be a simple process to determine simply how to get to Greece to start our adventure….more fool me!! There are a number of considerations when embarking on your trip and I thought it might be helpful to provide a view on my experiences to date…and then hopefully the happy final outcome of the implementation of our plans.

  I have been asked to write a short article based upon House and pet sitting in Greece. Why me? Well, I am an experienced house and pet sitter and have spent a considerable amount of time researching the subject, developing my own associated website and writing an E Book to catalogue most of what you would require to get established in what is actually a fascinating business or part time activity.

There are many issues to consider when determining whether house sitting is an option in Greece.

What factors develop a greater chance of being selected as a house sitter

Greece is made up of over 1000 islands and islets. However, not all of them are inhabited and only a few dozen of them are destination worthy, though this of course, is up for debate. The top islands in Greece, in our opinion are Crete, Santorini, Rhodes, Corfu, Sifnos, Hydra andMykonos. Any of these would be a great destination for your next Greece holiday.

Crete: Crete is one of most well known and largest of all the Greek islands. It is well known for its gorgeous beaches, mountains and rich history.

If during your travels to Greece, you are hoping to mingle with the fairer sex, it’s a good idea to know how to behave (how to approach them, what to say, and what not to say, etc.). Failure to do so will likely result in more rejection than you'd care to receive. You might also get more then your share of dirty looks. Greek women, are in many ways, like any other woman on the planet. It will be important to be respectful and respectable. Acting in a lewd and unruly manner isn’t recommended. Below, you’ll find a number of our best tips. Be sure to apply them the next time you decide to holiday in Greece.

One of the best things about Greece is the nightlife. Though the country is pretty big on social propriety (no alcohol fueled bad behavior), they encourage their guests to have a good time. During the summer months there is lots of partying going on and tons of great clubs to visit. Though settling on the top 10 nightclubs in Greece was difficult, we’ve managed to do it. Below, you’ll find our listing in no particular order.

Greece is a beautiful country with lots of charming and picturesque islands. If you are making plans for a Greece holiday would be wise to learn as much as possible about the country as not to upset or offend the locals and to ensure that your stay is as safe and enjoyable as possible.

Currently, Greece is experiencing a bit of turmoil and upheaval. There are demonstrations and strikes. This doesn’t mean that the country is off-limits to visitors because it isn’t. Visitors are still welcome. However, it’s a good idea that if you do decide to visit the country that you be aware of their surroundings and steer clear of public protests and demonstrations.
