Parlando con una mia allieva alcuni giorni fa ieri o l' altro ieri (πριν από) mi sono resa conto (συνειδητοποίω/ συνειδητοποίησα) che anche se negli ultimi 5 anni lavoro in un albergo nel centro di Londra personalmente per le mie vacanze preferisco le stanze in affitto εντωμεταξύ, ανακάλυψα, πολυτελής, εξαιτίας, επιχείρηση,
Συμφωνώ, έκανα τα καλύτερα ταξίδια με τους φίλους μου σε αγροτικές κατοικίες, αρχικά για τον ίδιο λόγο, επειδή ήταν η φθηνότερη επιλογή. Θυμάμαι ότι μιλήσαμε με τους ιδιοκτήτες για δραστηριότητες στην περιοχή. Επιπλέον, το περιβάλλον στο οποίο βρίσκονται αυτά τα σπίτια ήταν πολύ πιο όμορφο από αυτό των πιο πολυτελών ξενοδοχείων. Και είναι πολύ πιο ευχάριστο να είσαι "στο σπίτι", ετοιμάζοντας πρωινό για τους φίλους σου αντί να πας στην καφετέρια του ξενοδοχείου (ο θόρυβος των καφέ με πολλούς ανθρώπους μου θυμίζει δουλειά).
@@Linguatree ναι, ακριβώς! από την άλλη πλευρά, εάν προετοιμάζεις το πρωινό σας με τον δικό σου ρυθμό, με τους φίλους ή οικογένεια σου, χωρίς βιασύνη, είναι σαν να βρίσκεις στο σπίτι την Κυριακή το πρωί
I note you say the plant has grown παρά πολύ - this is one you could look at in a lesson. In English ‘too much’ has a very different meaning than ‘a lot’. The first means excessively or more than wanted. The second has no such nuance. What are the Greek equivalents?
Does anyone have any advice about how to find these kinds of rooms to rent for holidays in Greece? I would much prefer to stay with a Greek family than in a big impersonal hotel. Airbnb? Any other good sites? Ευχαριστώ πολύ! 😀
I hike on the islands from village to village. Usually there is a small grocery store. Ask there or just walk through the village and ask if they have a room to let. I have found so many hidden, wonderful, beautiful rooms to stay in that overlooked the sea. They are usually much cheaper and there is a community kitchen with a refrigerator, etc. I always use my Greek as I am trying to learn, but many people, especially the younger folks, speak English. Don't be afraid to try. However, in Athens or any other larger city in Greece, not sure my method would work as I choose remote islands with few tourists. They are very traditional and are so inviting into their homes and lives. This to me is the authentic Greek life as I wrote above in my rusty Greek.
