Greece - Bulgarians' Perfect Short Break Destination

Greece is the greatest destination for Bulgaria's short break fans, who would rather find their pleasures closer to home and whose batteries take longer to recharge. I was making my way from Sofia to Thessaloniki, in fact cranking my way, on a run-down bus filled with women in their sixties and a group of tourists. The moment we were at the Greek border and the women started calling their relatives back home, telling them everything is ok, I understood these were twenty of those thousands of Bulgarian women, who go to Greece to make their living there as housekeepers and who, according to my rough estimates, bring some 40,000 euros to the Bulgarian economy by sending money every month back home.
