Always enjoy watching and listening to your videos on Greece. My mums just bought a place in Kefallonia and I been thinking about driving. I’ve watched your previous videos on ferry crossing from Italy. Look forward to seeing many more vid’s. 😀
What u don't get is that all of what u mention is just government excuses. Cars are traditionally seen as tax collecting tools in Greece. Bigger/expensive cars are bought by richer citizens -> we found a fine way to make them pay some extra money. Plus it was always thought as an indirect way to reduce the national economy bleeding caused by the import of such expensive goods in such huge numbers
I think I would disagree with them. Vehicles are tools at the end of the day & I can't imagine making tools more expensive has ever been helpful to an economy.
@@dickjohnson6670 Almost everybody disagrees with them 😄😄 But again, your thinking applies to a healthy developed society. Here it is Balkans n additionally the southern part. Cars were mainly a mean of self assertion n social status indicator, than anything else. There were people literally starving for years just to be able to own a 316 BMW. In other words, government had that mindset just because a (very) big chunk of the population had that twisted thinking too.
