Scooby Doo's Guide to Greece


Now that the condemnations of Greece are rolling in, many of them along the lines of how the country has made a 'dog's dinner' of its economy, I thought it timely that I put up my Scooby Doo's guide to the country. With some pundits claiming that 'THE history of Western civilisation is expected to come full circle as Greece brings it crashing to the ground', it made sense to take things back to basics with some simple facts from my children's guide to Greece.
  • Greece is the land of olive groves, retsina (wine), kebabs, feta cheese, vine leaves, fishermen, ferries to islands, sun, sunbathers and goats.
  • Greece used to have money called Drachma, but now people spend Euros like in many other European countries.
  • The olive branch (which is a sign of peace) and the Olympic torch are symbols of Greece.
In the TV series It's All Greek To Scooby, the kids go to Greece for spring break and of course end up in the middle of another mystery, when Shaggy buys a "lucky" ancient Greek amulet that actually attracts some kind of monster... Watch Scooby doo and Scrappy doo in Greek.

Certain experts are claiming that the world of science, art and democracy born in Athens 2500
years ago is now going to hell in a handcart.
