Greece offers lots of opportunities, even during the crisis. That is the conclusion of the author Georg Petras. Like so many business colleagues from completely different sectors, he has rolled up his sleeves and kept on going. With informative insights due to his background you can find out lots of information about Greece, the sunny island of Rhodes, which belongs to the most beautiful regions of the world, and about the past seven years of crisis in this area. As a German in Greece and as a Greek in Germany, Petras has been allowed to live a "double life" and has pointed out some interesting details in a very objective manner. In his story it is about people and partly about certain dramatic events. But the message, which through his personal background is conveyed in a staccato style, is clear. Never give up! And, Greece has enormous potential! Let s go Hellas!

I heard myself say. I sat up and took the three steps from my office to my colleagues in the showroom. There, in slow motion, I heard myself say, "The banks are shut. We have a huge problem".
