Creator's Key Takeaways

we were in Greece one time and we expected it to be an open day and it was actually Easter because they followed the Greek Orthodox calendar and not the traditional Catholic calendar that we were used to

a lot of major attractions were closed

it's happened to us in Asia, too, for Chinese New Year

just be aware of this
