Tourist Nightmare in Greece: Serbian Exposes How Fruit Sellers Scam Tourists!
Thought your vacation in Greece was all sunshine and fun? Think again! A Serbian tourist, who has been vacationing in Pefkohori for over a decade, has revealed the dark side — how street fruit sellers scam and rip off tourists!
Crowded Season = Scam Season
Seemingly friendly street vendors use the busy crowds and tourists’ distraction to squeeze as much money as possible. The prices they shout out on the street? Forget it! When you come to pay, prices are often higher, and in some shops, fruit is even cheaper than from these street sellers.
Tricks That Will Drive You Crazy
For example, some sellers ring up prices on the cash register that are 1 to 5 cents higher than the displayed price. It may seem like a small amount, but it adds up and can cost you way more than you planned.
Tourist Warns: Watch Every Cent!
On the Facebook group “Greece Tourists,” this tourist shared his experience and warned others to be careful. Some even asked why he watches every cent on vacation, but he says it’s better to be cautious than to end up broke.
Is Greece Still a Tourist Paradise?
This tourist said it was his first bad experience after 15 years of vacationing in Greece. Still, he warns that if you’re not careful, you can get scammed. Some commenters even said it’s cheaper to go to Turkey than to deal with these tricks in Greece.
Bottom Line: Don’t Let Them Scam You!
If you’re planning a trip to Greece, pay attention to prices and don’t always trust what sellers shout at you. Check your receipts and compare prices in shops. Not everything that glitters is gold, and not every peach is fairly priced!
