“It’s pretty life-changing. Yeshua Jesus,. The places, where he was, what he accomplished, what he did for me. To understand the Jewishness of Jesus, to walk where he was, and what he saw.

Rabbi Jason does a wonderful job explaining the New Testament, how it correlates with the Old Testament, the beauty of the Gospels, and how they’re all integrated into the Old Testament.”

“We are in Jerusalem! Where Jesus died over there, carried the cross, and rose again. What Jesus has gone through is for my sins and the sins of the world. I wanted to come here for so long. I can’t really believe i’m here. Jesus Lives in my heart because he died for me on the cross here. When I go back, the world will know. I will tell them all about what I have learned here, my pastors, family, friends, and neighbors.”

“One of the many things that God surprised me with this week is the magnitude of the Jewish faith and its connection to our Christian faith, and how little, even growing up in a Christian home, going to Christian college, knowing these stories from when I was young, and seeing them come to life here, connecting Old to New and the importance of the Jewish faith with my Christian faith.” – Tiana

In Greece, the official currency is the euro (€), widely accepted for all transactions. It is advisable to carry some cash in euros, (we advise 400 Euro per person) especially in remote areas with limited card acceptance. For better rates, it’s recommended to avoid airport counters and use ATMs or local banks. Stay informed about fluctuating exchange rates using reliable currency exchange websites like http://www.xe.com/. In Greece foreign currency exchange services are readily available at banks and sometimes hotels. The Euro comes in various denominations, making transactions easy. Importing/exporting cash or gold for travelers from/to other EU Member States is unrestricted, but sums exceeding €10,000 must be declared at Customs.

In Greece, credit cards are widely accepted, especially in major towns and tourist areas. Visa and MasterCard are commonly used, while American Express and Maestro may have less acceptance. It’s essential to be cautious of potential bank fees and verify if a business accepts cards before making a purchase. They employ a chip and PIN system for credit card transactions, so make sure you have your PIN ready.

In Greece, ATMs are widely available in populated and tourist areas, such as supermarkets, airports, ferry stations, banks, and metro stations, making them the most convenient and cost-effective method to obtain euros. While there might be a small transaction fee for using a foreign ATM card, it is still more economical than currency exchange offices. To minimize fees, choose the local currency option when paying the transaction fee and withdraw a sufficient amount at a time. Additionally, major banks in Greece provide foreign currency exchange services, ensuring better value when you check the daily rates.
