Apparently, the European Commission has warned Greece and 10 other member states to "STFU" (to use modern gamer lingo). Of course, there isn't a problem with excess noise here in Litochoro, nor was there on Kos, but Athens was a loud damn city, morning to night and back again.
The noise we experience in the neighborhood where my in-laws live (soon to be our neighborhood) in Thessaloniki doesn't qualify, I'm afraid. The noise is all people and animal related, and it can go on til late in the morning, inciting the ire of little old ladies who are trying to sleep. It doesn't help that open area behind the buildings on this block creates an echo, and any person sitting outside on their balcony talking, listening to music or TV with doors open, is compounded to a stentorian degree.
Still, I'll have to get used to city noise again soon, I'm afraid. Ah well. It was good while it lasted.
