Does anyone currently living in Greece know about the LDS church there? I only speak Spanish and English. Are the LDS services in English or Greek? Large or small wards? Locations?

Any other information on Greece (yes, I can use the Google god) but from your perspective would be appreciated.

I think the services are in English, since the only people attending are American expats.

I think there are only three branches in the whole of Greece. Two branches in Athens and one outside! Check www.cumorah.com and look under Greece.

Looks like eight branches in the country. There is an English-speaking branch in Athens.

Looks like only 3 branches on the mainland, the others are in Cyprus.

Oh, okay. The map makes more sense now.

Looks like 4 in mainland Greece:
2 in Athens (1 English speaking), 1 in Halandri (near Athens), and 1 in Thessaloniki in northern Greece.

It is called The Compendium, and it is very near a metro stop (forget which one.) It saved my sanity when I ran out of stuff to read.

Most street signs and metro signs have both Greek and Roman letters, but try to find a tutor for very basic Greek. I think I survived in Greece with maybe a dozen words, but I had studied the alphabet and could at least make out things like entries on menus.

Greece is a lovely place and the food is great, but try to develop at least a shaking-hands knowledge of the language as quickly as you can. I can't imagine surviving there without it.

More and more the LDS church is becoming Greek to me. I'm getting lost in its translations.

Can help you out Elder Berry :)

"Ouzo" ought to help out in most situations! The Grecian Bner.

Ah, ouzo. Second only to tequila for epic hangover stories.

LOVE IT. And those sandals are sooo cute.

I don't think they have any Apollo Burger, Crown Burger or Astro Burger locations there, so you'll have to survive on Ramen like most missionaries do.
(I'm assuming you got the "call to serve" and that's why you're asking us, right?)

I knew a Greek kid once. He was pretty chill. All I know is the Greeks hate the Turks.

oooooooh, the little lamb (my favorite) made my day!
Thanks, Susan!

When you arrive there, return & report on "My Big Fat Greek Ward."

It's more like "My Skinny Little Greek Branch". I served my mission in Greece, but that was a LONG time ago. The Greek people are so hospitable, I'm sure you'll make life-long friends while you're there.

Perhaps now might be a good time to quit attending, regardless of what language services are in.

Greece is a wonderful country to visit and spend time in.

Late dinners outdoors with good wine and friendly people. The seafood is wonderful and if your get out of the city is is very beautiful.

Don't be a Mormon there. It will cause you all sorts of trouble. Wine is served by default and many restaurants. Especially for lunch.

Wise words, "Don't be a Mormon there." Are you a US serviceman going to Athens? If so, you'll probably run into a couple of American Mormons. Keep your distance from them. Enjoy Greece and the wine with retsina, the fish, and most of all the bucolic pleasantness of being in Mediterranea--Middle Earth--which is the best location in the world whether Greece, Turkey, Tunisia, Italy, or Spain. I'm jealous already. Oh, and Greek coffee. It's not for sissies.

Retsina. Who knew pine sap could taste so good?
