I'm an Amerifag going to Greece and Turkey with a group of about ten kids this summer. We're all 18-19. What are some things I should be prepared for, and what are some things that would be fun?

Be prepared for sweaty, hairy old Greeks hitting on your women. Probably Turks too.

Make sure you say "Mustafa Kemal was a homo" to the Turks, that's like saying hello over there.

Greece is actually more obese than America. It goes without saying they are less intelligent as well. Modern Greece is an insult to ancient Greece.

Cant stand greece. I donno about the big mainland like athens but other parts are just shit holes. Feels like your in the 3rd world at times. Got into a lot of fights with greeks aswell cause they dont like foreigners.Cant stand not being able to flush toilet paper.

a group of 10?!?! thats ridiculous to start with so you can expect the level of greek surliness and unfriendliness to go up hugely from its already high level. cant speak for turkey but 10 18-19y.o. americans? wow.

true for turkey but not at dangerous levels. just don't let the girls wear too much revealing stuff like too skimpy short and such and you'll be fine.

Is it just me or do these seem like more than the usual eurofag hatespam? Do Greeks have a unique level of hatred for Americans?

Eurofag here. Depends where you go. I had a lot of problems with local greeks in some areas taking offense to the fact that I wasnt greek.

Define "problems". Did they give you a cold stare? Did they chase your out of town? What?

True, people in touristic areas are not really amused by fat stupid American tourists, but that's how they make a living and doesn't sound likely to me that they would show open hostility. I'm Turkish and some shopkeepers of Anatolian origin even insisted that I sit down a while and have tea with them when I told them I'm Turkish. This may not be entirely comparable to your case of course. Also, this was mainland Greece.

Well the first night there myself and 1 friend went out for some beers to the local bars. And when out met up with some of the female reps for the holiday company and started drinking with them , then at closing they said that we where all gonna go to some after hours bar. As soon as we get there and go in a group of greek guys start a fight with us , one throws a punch at me etc brawl starts.
Seems they dont like "english" people and clamed we where tryin to steal there women. first of all im not british at all, and secondly there women where english lol.

Similar shit happened a few more times on that trip.
Not all of it was as bad tho , a lot of cold stairs and bar tenders making it obvious to serve you last etc.

Also a lot of the turks and armenians where far nicer than the local greeks. Wasnt the mainland either , was on zakynthos. Im pretty sure that island is relatively new to tourism. Even tho it seems to be the main way of making a living there.

Make sure you mention Turks are a tribe of uncivilized barbarians led by the dead homosexual Kemal and their moon god is lie, and when you cross the border switch the rhetoric to how Greeks received it in the ass from the Turks for a millennia and they liked it, and you'll have two nations loving you.

Except in Greece they have fewer instances of heart disease and other obesity-related problems.

Enjoy your massive fail.

Enjoy choking on tobacco smoke. I remember Olympic Airways was like one of the only major airlines without a non-smoking section. I'm pretty sure they still allow smoking even in a "post 9-11" world, but I can not verify.
