Introduction

Greece: a country of wonder, mystery and beauty all wrapped up into

one. From exploring the impressive ancient ruins to lounging around

the picture perfect beaches to submerging oneself in the rich and

dynamic culture of the traditional Greeks, Greece seems to be a perfect

country with a perfect and beautiful history. One students expectations

were to have these beautiful, historic sites surround [them] and pro-

vide a feeling that a Google image never could.

Underneath, Greece has an ugly past, present, and quite possibly future

pertaining mainly to its financial realm. Upon entering Athens, tourists

find abandoned buildings, rundown areas, and graffiti everywhere; a

ghost town almost. Greece is truly a country known for its beautiful ru-

ins amidst a time of menacing economic ruin.

INTRODUCTION

These were exact sights seen by the perplexed faces of

twenty-two students from the University of Pittsburgh

who started their month-long journey in Greece in the

ancient city of Athens.

An annual program, Pitt in Greece offers an unique

experience to students each year who come and explore

the wonders of Greece while studying various topics

about the country. Since Greece is ranked as one of the

top tourist destinations in the world. Over the course of

a month, students traveled to three different parts of the

country to see the effects of the Greek financial crisis

and analyze the impact of tourism on the country.

Another student thought, "before coming, I had this

idea that everyone in Greece was happy and living a

life of leisure. However, not many students took into

consideration the severity of the crisis in everyday life.

Why is Greece in such a crisis? What is to become of

such a beautiful country? Is the great amount of

tourism hurting or helping the Greek locals?

These are all questions that are going to be analyzed,

studied, and answered by these foreign students as they

embark on the adventure of a lifetime.

PEOPLE AND CULTURE

EDUCATION DIFFERENCES BETWEEN GREECE AND THE U.S. - - - -

On our boat ride to Karpathos, I met someone who went through the Greek school system. First, I

asked him the cost of attending school in Athens. He gave me a confused look and proceeded to tell

me he pays nothing to attend school, a vast contrast to schooling in the U.S. Student loans are the

leading cause of debt in the US; if we didnt have to pay for school and graduated debt-free, maybe

more people would go to college, making for a better educated society.

Thousands of people with the potential to do great things in life are limited by the cost of attending

college. Although financial aid and loans are available, they still have to be paid back eventually.

Giving someone who comes from nothing only six months after graduation to begin paying back their

loans simply is not long enough. Graduates may start working, but having hundreds of dollars in

loans to pay back per month seems nearly impossible on most starting salaries.

Greece may be in the middle of a crisis right now, but they can still manage to send their students to

school for free. This means more people are going to school, producing more educated citizens that

may help them get out of this crisis.

I also asked him how he decided on his

major and he told it is determined by a

test. He compared the exam to the SATs,

where the highest score possible is a 2000.

Scoring near that level means entry into

medical school.

Scoring an 1800 permits entry into a

school for engineering. Students are able

to choose any option below the score they

received, but not above. Additionally,

students may retake the test once a year

until achieving a score they desire.

I initially thought the test limits what one

can do in life. Not getting the right score

may crush a doctor hopeful of reaching

his/her dreams. Either way, having the

test may efficiently guide students into

appropriate careers.

Learning about this difference in culture

was intriguing and made me think about

what Americans could achieve if our

schooling was free, and how many more

people would have the opportunity to

explore their own potential.

Greece may be in the middle of a crisis right now, but they can still manage to send their students to school for free. This means more people are going to school, producing more educated citizens that may help them get out of this crisis.

Although I dont think we will ever

stray too far from the handshake, I

believe there is something to be learned

from the difference a warm smile, a hug,

and having a sincere interest in

learning someones life story can make

on your friendship with a stranger.

- - - -

One cultural difference I noticed and

thoroughly enjoyed while being in Greece was

the welcoming nature of its people. In America,

often times we greet others with a head-nod,

wave, or a firm handshake. Anything beyond

that when meeting someone for the first time

could be interpreted as weird, or too touchy.

In Greece, however, it is quite the opposite.

It almost seems as though those practices could

be offensive in some circumstances. Whether it

is the first, or the tenth time meeting someone,

Greeks embrace you with a big hug and kiss on

each cheek. There is no personal bubble.

Then, before you can even introduce yourself,

they are already offering you something to eat

and drink, a place to sit, and genuine company.

In America, we dont typically invest as much

time in conversations with people we believe

cant do something for us in return. It is all

about reciprocity; since being in Greece, I have

realized how impersonal some of the

interactions I have back home can be due to

this.

Although I dont think we will ever stray too far

from the handshake, I believe there is

something to be learned from the difference a

warm smile, a hug, and having a sincere

interest in learning someones life story can

make on your friendship with a stranger.

Someone once said, a stranger is a friend I have

yet to make, and I truly feel this sums of the

Greeks outlook.

The Eurozone

GREECE IN THE EURO

- - - -

Last semester I took a class on the economics

of the European Union so when study abroad

accepted me into the Greece program I was

excited to see what I learned in the classroom

come alive in the real world. I was not

disappointed because many conversations,

whether with political figures or regular

people, often drifted to the Euro and whether

or not Greece should be a member.

Before setting foot in Greece I was unsure on

whether a Grexit would be the best move

economically for Greece and the rest of the

Eurozone. After discussing the topic

extensively, whether in class or on the streets,

I have come to a conclusion that Greece

would benefit more from a Grexit than any

other feasible scenario. The reasoning seems

intuitive yet many Greeks, and Europeans,

seem blind to the signs.

According to a poll on Greek attitudes towards

the Euro, The majority of Greeks, 7 out of 10,

choose to stay in the Eurozone at any cost. To

illustrate, a Grexit would make Greece no

longer dependent on European decisions on

important economic matters.

The majority of Greeks, 7 out of 10, choose to stay in the

Eurozone at any cost.

Secondly, a Grexit would certainly make Greek

products and goods cheaper to the rest of the

world, very likely causing an increase in tourism

and increase in exports.

So why doesnt Greece leave the Euro? Mainly

because of stubbornness and wanting to hang

with the cool kids. When our group visited the

SYRIZA offices we were treated to a question and

answer session with their international relations

representative. I asked him why SYRIZA did not

support leaving the Eurozone. His response was

typical of the many other interactions I have had

with Greeks; he said Greece deserves to be a part

of Europe and therefore must remain in the Euro.

His reply was interesting to me because of the

passion with which Greeks want to stay in the

Euro.

To me, it seemed that being in the Euro

symbolized the qualification of Greece as

European. There is a certain fear of not being

like the other European nations. Its faulty

reasoning, however, because there are many

countries, especially the most developed ones,

who are not in the Euro but in the EU such as

Denmark, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.

The experiences I have had while in Greece over the past

month imply that the majority of Greece favors one action,

while the rest of the world favors another in regard to its

position in the Eurozone. Many Greeks I spoke with think it

should leave the Eurozone in order to recover and kick-start

the economy.

Personally, after the experiences I encountered in Greece, it

would probably serve the Greek economy best if Greece left

the Euro but remained in the European Union.

I think if Greece left the Euro, and did it correctly with the

proper planning, that the economy could recover and Greece

could regain some of the national pride which was lost during

the recent crisis. Additionally, Greece could become more

stable politically.

GREEK BANKS - - - -

Austerity measures imposed by the Greek government in

order to find the money to repay debts to the IMF have

worsened the quality of life of Greeks. People are beginning

to make a living in whatever way they can. With Greek

unemployment at a shocking 25%, Greek youth

unemployment at over 60%, and monthly youth wage set at

300 euros per month, how could a recovery even be feasible?

The Greek people have voted and their answer to this is that

only by putting an end to the Troikas austerity in Greece is

there any hope of recovery. In the elections that occurred this

spring, the Greek people elected for the first time in the

countrys history a left party, SYRIZA. SYRIZA was elected

It is now June 2015 and deals between the

Troika and Greece continue on. What

happens still remains to be seen, but this is

a step in the right direction in a country

whose people have struggled for far too

long.

They struggled when the crisis first hit in

2008 and they still struggle as the

government attempts to save money by

cutting social services and

other government programs.

Banks have not fared any

better. ATMs began to run out

of money while we were still in

Karpathos and immediately

after we left the banks closed

their doors. Withdrawals from

ATMs were limited to 60

euros a day and people lined

up everyday to withdraw their

portion of the money left in the

bank.

Scholars have called what

happened a pseudo-default

because while Greece hasnt

formally declared bankruptcy,

it essentially did by choosing

to close the banks.

Impact of the Crisis

BRAIN DRAIN

- - - -

Not only are excessive amounts of wealth,

resources, and dignity leaving Greece, knowledge

has left as well. Through the 'Brain Drain,' the best

and brightest of the next Greek generation are

leaving in pursuit of brighter futures. Due to the

current crisis there is a lack of opportunities

offered, accompanied by financial and economic

instability.

These deficiencies are fueling the emigration,

resulting in severe losses for Greece. These 'brains'

were the potential capital and growth that are so

desperately needed to withstand this crisis.

As this hope leaves, immigrants are flooding the

shores of Greece, resulting in a severe

demographic change. This change accompanies the

austerity measures that have caused the crisis.

According to Unicef, the poverty risk among the

immigrants reached 43.7% in 2012 while poverty

rates rose by 35 percentage points for children in

migrant households. Unemployment rates have

simultaneously risen, with the highest percentage

belonging to these youth.

With a record drop in unemployment, Greek

households have seen a severe loss in their

incomes. This has dramatically lowered living

conditions. For example, according to the 2013

annual report of the OECD, in 2012 17.9% of the

population in Greece could not meet its basic food

needs. We have seen this along the Corinth Canal,

where small children and their mother sat and

begged for money. As homelessness has not been

as prevalent, we have seen people desperately

eating from the dumpster in search of a sense of

nourishment. These conditions not only forced the

current generation to leave, but raised a hopeless

generation to replace them. Youth raised during the

With a record drop in unemployment, Greek households

have seen a severe loss in their

incomes. This has dramatically

lowered living conditions.

struggles of this crisis will only blindly know how

to function within such conditions. This continues

to place Greece deeper within the crisis. So deep,

that according to the IMF, Greece will not be able

to pay back their debt.

Wind whistles through the hollow

streets in Monastiraki, only

occasionally stopping to get caught on

whatever remnants remain from life

before the crisis.

Inhabited buildings are interrupted on

every block by buildings and homes

families can no longer afford to

restore or upkeep. The people who

remain are sparse as the money they

make.

Small neighborhoods I can imagine

were once full of life and bursting

from the seams with generations of

families and rich history, now hold on

with a weak pulse.

While much of Athens remains intact,

patches of the crisis are spreading.

Athens does not look like it did years

ago and it may not even be able to

maintain its current state.

Within the EU, Greece had the largest proportion of its population liv-ing on very low incomes, at 23.1% in 2013, with Romania in the second place

(22.4%) and Bulgaria third with 21%. This means that in the same year, Greece

cannot meet their basic needs, compared with 9.6% in the EU as a whole.1

EXCAVATION AND PRESERVATION

- - - -

Heat strikes the backs of the workers as their tools scrape away parts of Olympias history still covered

in dirt. Some of the relics soon to be uncovered will claim their spot on a shelf in the museum just

steps away, but others will be scattered across Europe. But why are ancient Greek relics leaving

Greece? Money is power in this situation. Cutting of governmental support and funding has lead sites

like Olympia to sit in limbo waiting for a beneficiary to supply the funds for excavation. But their

funding comes at a price. In exchange for money, private companies take findings and scatter them all

over the world. This is why you can see statues that once stood etched into the Acropolis in museums in

Great Britain and Germany, but can see only pictures of them in Athens.

While the funding is necessary,

the arrangement drains away

p o t e n t i a l c a p i t a l f r o m

Greece. Travelers no longer have

to travel to Greece to experience

the ruins. The dispersing of

relics could very well be a cause

for a decrease in tourism in

remote areas of Greece.

It hurts people who depend on

tourists to support their

livelihood. Foot traffic has

decreased in these once bustling

little towns because why travel

six hours to a village on top of a

mountain if you can see the same

artifacts in downtown Berlin?

I see a man lying on the sidewalk. He looks dirty, has no shoes

on, and is sprawled out on a thin blanket with all of his worldly

processions surrounding him. As he tucks in for the night, I am

walking through his bedroom. I am walking through this mans

home.

When I used to think of Athens, this isnt what I imagined. I

pictured ancient Greece, democracy, philosophers, and the

Parthenon. I thought of everything but reality.

I didnt think about this man, but now I do. My eyes have been

opened up to the struggles that the Greek people face. The high

rates of unemployment, the austerity and cuts to social

services are epitomized in my mind by the image of this man.

SEASONAL TOURISM

- - - -

We need these months, you know were in a crisis,

a shop owner in Karpathos explained. As Greeces

primary source of income, tourism is vital to sustain

many Greek businesses.

They rely on the influx of tourists through their

busiest months, April through October, to keep their

shops, hotels, etc. afloat in the off-season. We met a

woman who sold jewelry made by unemployed

teachers.

With job cuts and school closings many teachers,

like most of the Greek population, are without jobs.

To earn a living they receive private loans to make

jewelry for tourists to sell in gift shops and receive

a cut of the profit. She said that the business of this

jewelry-making is entirely dependent on tourists

coming in to spend.

It is only a small example of how necessary tourism

is for the survival of many businesses, and how

people must work harder than ever during tourist

season to have any chance at maintaining their

business and even more, their quality of life in the

winter months.

Without the influx of tourists during the summer it is

likely the Greek economy would be in even worse

shape.

Graffiti

Greece, a country rich with ruins and

ancient buildings preserved for

thousands of years, has been tagged with

mounds of graffiti. Buildings that were

once pristine now carry the marks of

political groups and people begging for

change.

I spray the sky fast. Eyes ahead and behind. Looking for cops.

Looking for anyone I don't want to be here. Paint sails and the

things that kick in my head scream from can to brick. See this,

see this. See me emptied onto a wall.

- Cath Crowley, Graffiti Moon

In large cities like Athens so much of the graffiti is written in English.

In a country that takes so much pride in their culture, I cant help but

wonder if these messages are aimed at the US for causing the struggle

they are facing.

The Greek people want change within Greece, but are they are also

looking for a change on the influence that the United States has had

over them.

It was fascinating wandering the streets of Athens and constantly

seeing new art and new political statements everywhere we looked. We

could never have imagined Athens to be so vandalized but it

contributed a certain kind of beauty to the city.

GRAFFITI AND POLITICS - - - -

In Greece the ruling class is trying to force

austerity onto the rest of Greeces population as

if it is inevitable, perpetual, and beneficial for

everyone while many believe that there are

better alternatives and TINA would only benefit

the ruling class.

The austerity measures imposed upon Greece

cuts jobs and wages as well as increases

income taxes. This has led to a massive decline

in cash flow in the small country, only

worsening its economic hardships.

The lack of cash flow leads to a lack of demand

for goods and services, which leads to an even

further decrease in jobs. The Greek people have

voted and their answer to this is that only by

putting an end to the Troikas austerity in

Greece is there any hope of recovery.

The girl in the graffiti to the left is smearing

blue paint on a French graffiti artists face

whose shirt says systematic artists in French

while he holds a bag of Euros.

This can be seen as a statement against

continuing to take loans from the French banks.

Cultural Hegemony: The domination of a

culturally diverse society by the ruling

class, to the extent of manipulating the worldview of the society.

Tourism

PEOPLE AND LIFESTYLE - - - -

While in Tolo, I talked to the owner of a small

restaurant who fell into the transient business owner

category. During the summer months, she and her

husband lived in Tolo, where their business typically

does well serving the influx of tourists that visit the

town in that season. During the offseason, however,

they typically close shop and move to Athens, where

they find work at restaurants owned by their

relatives and friends.

She said this is a pretty common occurrence among

tourism-reliant business owners, and that its just

the way life is in a tourism-reliant country. While

tourism is obviously good for the country and its

economy, it is important to also consider the way the

industry impacts the lives of its labor force.

Tourism is a seasonal industry

many workers are in a state of annual

uncertainty

INFRASTRUCTURE - - - -

I understand that Athens is huge, but I cannot fathom the fact that it can house 6 million people - not

counting tourists. This goes to show how essential infrastructure is to a city. These accommodations

have become increasingly necessary over time. An example of this adjustment came in 2004 when

Athens hosted the Olympic Games.

This event provoked the building of a new airport, an assortment of new stadiums (examples including

baseball, basketball, softball, taekwan do, etc), as well as other structures. Yet, with the production of

new, comes the inevitable ruin of the old.

On our drive to downtown Athens, I always find myself lost in the abandonment of the old airport. It is

covered in graffiti, and is used as a short cut from traffic. It amazes me that at one point, that airport

trafficked millions of people. Further, I am even more amazed that a larger airport was constructed

purposefully for Olympic tourists. This allows for a larger network of tourists in the area. Therefore,

with a convenient means of travel, people are more likely to attract to that area in comparison to others.

I interviewed workers of gelato shops in Glyfada

and Monastiraki. In Glyfada, less than 40

percent of customers are tourists, while in

Monastiraki over 80 percent are tourists.

This drastic difference is partly due to

infrastructure. Monastiraki is close to famous

ruins within Athens and so tourists are more

likely to stay there.

Tourists demand hotels, which in turn produce

restaurants, shops, clubs, as well as other

attractions. There is also a metro within these

areas which allows tourists and people to pass

between cities.

As we travelled as a large group, we have seen

that transportation is not as accessible within

other areas of Greece, especially Olympos. By

lacking the proper transportation as well as

infrastructure such as hotels, tourism is much

more rare.

Consequently, tourism is vastly different within

Athens than in the 'country side'.

As infrastructure is the literal foundation of tourism, there are evident differences between the

atmospheres besides transportation such as sewage and water. For example, in Tolo we were warned

to not drink the tap water. In Athens, we all refilled our water bottles from the tap and were not

concerned about the safety and sanitation of the water.

If we didnt speak

English, we couldnt

stay open.

THE RUINS OF ANCIENT GREECE:

RESTORING AND PRESERVING THE RUINS

- - - -

People come from all around the world to view the

ruins of Ancient Greece, many of which sit amongst

the world of 21st century Greece. At the Acropolis,

our tour guide Mariza explained to us that it took

the Ancient Greeks only around 10 years to

complete the Parthenon. At this point, the modern

restorations have already taken 30 years and $90

million dollars that the Greek government can not

afford to spend.

Manolis Korres, the lead Greek architect, has

chosen to restore the Parthenon only with what has

survived and been preserved for two and a half

thousand years, using a combination of modern

technology and the ancient building techniques that

were used during the Parthenon's original

construction.

All around the country ruins are facing similar

situations and as we walked through Epidavros and

the healing center of Asclipius, ruins lay only

partially constructed or just remain in the original

position that they were discovered. The ruins are

woven into the identity of the modern Greek people

and serve as a constant reminder of what once

stood in glory centuries before reconstruction and

preservation were ever considered.

If their preservation is not made a priority and becomes forgotten in the midst of the crisis then the

world loses a crucial piece of history. Through the ruins Ancient Greece teaches us about the world long

ago and we need to listen or risk forgetting.

As I walked through the ancient sites, trying to absorb as much knowledge as possible, I found myself

mentally reconstructing the ruins in my head. The broken pillars of the Temple of Zeus and the massive

statue of Zeus standing tall with Olympians around him. None of these experiences would be possible if

there is no funding for the preservation and restoration of these sites.

Austerity must not include the ruins of Ancient Greece. People will no longer come from around the

world to see the ruins of Ancient Greece if there is no money for preservation. The ruins we saw

throughout the trip have multiplied my love for history tenfold and I think it's important that the ruins

will be accessible for years to come so that generations can continue to be educated and inspired by

what the Ancient Greeks have left behind.

MARIZA

- - - -

The worlds description of Greeks as lazy

could not be more incorrect based on my

observations. Our tour guides serve as a

prime example. Mariza, a middle-aged

woman who has earned an education and is

one of the most passionate and intelligent

people I have met, still struggles to find

work that will pay the bills.

When I asked her how many tours she gives

in a day, she explained to me that in the

summer months she picks up as many as

possible. This is the season and she must

take advantage of it because come winter

months, it is much harder to find this kind of

work.

Consequently, she said sometimes she

winds up doing three of the same tour in one

day. Not only are her tours about 3-4 hours

long (each), but they are also outside in the

blistering heat, ranging anywhere from 75 to

over 100 degree Fahrenheit.

She used to be a teacher and helped tutor

children, which was something she really

enjoyed doing and misses.

Now though, with decreased wages and job

cuts, parents cannot afford to provide their

children with any additional schooling even if

their children are really struggling in particu-

lar subjects.

Although this is only one example, we have

come across numerous people who are

extremely passionate about what they do for a

living (far more passionate than most people I

meet in America) and desperately want to

work, but simply cannot because of the lack of

resources and jobs available to them.

Greece relies heavily on the tourism industry

as it provides much of its revenue. Luckily for

Mariza, it brings enough business during the

summer months to get her by. However, this

does not come without hard, long work and a

positive attitude with each tour she gives.

Citizens with other occupations though, do not

have this same opportunity and find

themselves working anywhere from two to

even three jobs just to put food on the table

and maintain their household. Therefore, in

my humble opinion, Greeks should not be

labeled as lazy, but rather perseverant.

Personal

Encounters

AN INTERVIEW WITH A SANTORINI NATIVE - - - -

Sara: How do you think [the crisis] could be solved?

Gaspar: In Europe, we are in the Eurozone, and I

dont know why but the Europeans dont like us.

Germany says that they lent us money so we have to

pay them back but in 1940, the Second World War,

they destroyed many ancient things so they owe us

money too. They are crazy because they are more

powerful, they can do whatever they want, and so

what can we do?

Michelle: So, most people in Santorini arent dealing

with the crisis?

Gaspar: We dont have this problem. In other places

in Greece, yes. Like the farmers, and the guys who

work for the country.

Bri: Do you think that when you finish your degree

youll move back to Santorini?

Gaspar: Yes, of course! Ive grown up there, I know

everybody there, not because of the money but

because I like the place.

While out one night, I met the bartender of

a local club that was very friendly and I

asked him a few questions. He explained to

me that he was a civil engineer but could

not find a job. It shocked me that this young

man, who completed an advanced

education cannot find work. He was previ-

ously employed at a different bar but was

forced to work unreasonable hours for min-

imal money. His current employer was

wealthy enough to pay him more. He was

able to make the same amount in eight

hours that he used to make in twenty. It was

sad to see someone wasting their talent and

potential by mixing drinks for a living.

TAXI DRIVER IN TOLO

- - - -

I have been a taxi driver for over thirty years. I also

own a farm with over 1,700 mandarin trees. I have

other people who work for me on my farm and come in

seasonally to pick the fruits. I get up at 5 AM and then I

drive until 10 PM, so my days are very long.

My wife works at a hotel as a receptionist, and we get

to spend very little time together during the summer

months. Due to all of the economic problems, business

has been down by about 70% in the past three years. Its

been hard for many people.

A lot of younger people move away from

the small towns to find work, but what

they find isnt necessarily what they

imagined. Its sometimes even harder for

them to find work in the city because

there are so many people there.

Both my son and daughter moved from

our town in order to work in Athens. My

son works for a very rich man.

He does security for him, and he works all

hours of the day and night. My daughter

found work as a waitress.

My hope is that things start to improve so

they have a future in Greece. I would hate

to see them have to leave Greece because

they cant make enough to support their

families in the future. If things stay this

way who knows what will happen,

though.

My hope is that things

start to improve so they have

a future in Greece.

CONCLUSION

- - - -

Four weeks later, these twenty-two students left Greece with a greater knowledge and understanding of the

crisis and its effects on the people of this country. From Athens, to Tolo, to Karpathos, the students were able to

hear about and experience first-hand what is going on in the locals lives.

Students were able to see the crisis through aspects of graffiti, one-on-one conversations, infrastructure, and

comparisons among the cities and towns visited, and so forth.

One student reflects, I have a newfound appreciation toward the Greek people and understand

what theyre going through because it might not seem this way, but they are trying really hard to make a

change for their country.

Another student says, It is easy to judge this country from the

outside, seeing only its economic corruption and idyllic beaches but

once you spend time here, meet the people, absorb the culture, you

see what makes Greece so special.

One of the biggest things we have learned about this trip is that

Greece is more than what it appears; it is an amazing place with

amazing people. The Greeks have much to teach us about each other

and the world despite the crisis they are in.
