Why are Greeks so disagreeable?

Travel Tips

its the first time i hear that comment for greeks. i am greek myself and i have thousands of foreign friends, they all had great time in greece, people here are always willing to help, open hearted and fun. honestly you are the only person that believes something like that! i dont know how you got that impression but in case you met one greek you didnt like, that certainly doesnt mean all greeks are the same..

good answer!!

I am not sure about that. I haven't met a lot of Greeks to make a fair conclusion about them. I've worked in a Greek restaurant before with only the Owner and the manager as Greeks while others are either Turks or americans. The Turkish guys used to hate the guts of the lady manager and called her names behind her back. I guess if you are a manager, whether you are greek or not, you have to be a bit tough to manage the boys, so that was not an issue. Anyway, I don't know how you've come up with this conclusion, probably your country and Greece are neighbors and have a past history of hostilities between you that's been carried on till today (like the turkish and the greeks)...If you go back to history, we know that the Greeks have an ancient civilization and had contributed a lot of theories, philosophies and development in terms of science, medicine, math, psychology, government, engineering, astronomy and so on. Ancient Greek scholars like plato, socrates, archimedes, aristotle, phytagoras, etc. had invaluable works that are still being studied today. So in a way, the Greeks carry this collective psyche of greatness that is misunderstood as being arrogant or disagreeable, whether they are aware of it or not. If you've watched the movie a fat greek wedding(or was it a big fat greek wedding?), remember the father said to the american that, the greeks are already civilized and you(the american) are still swinging from the trees or something to that effect.
Well, if you find them disagreeable then steer clear from their path.
wtf ? the greeks are NICE !

you obviously haven't met the french or the germans.......then you would learn what disagreeable means.
ive been to greece. twice in fact. lovely.
WHY ARE YOU SO MEAN? Greeks don't bother your country and they don't claim anything from you. Stay there and please don't bother civilized world.
