what you are a typical diasporan Fyro-ape. That is far removed from realities
Silly Canadian - 500,000 Fyromskis come to Greece every year.Relatively affordable prices and the quickest access to the seaside Fyromians have continued to make Greece a top tourist destination for residents of landlocked FYROM this summer despite the two states continuing political differences.
According to the latest information from the Greek tourist authorities, Fyromians are the third-largest national group to visit Greece this year, surpassed only by Germans and Cypriots.
During the summer season so far, some 400,000 Fyromian citizens have entered Greece, records show. Estimates suggest that more than 500,000 Fyromian will enjoy the Greek sun this summer.
“The travel time is short, prices affordable, and the sea is warm” one Fyromian who recently returned from a holiday in Halkidiki told Balkan Insight.
It seems that many Fyromians are not discouraged even by recent reports of Greek nationalists targeting Fyromian tourists.
At the end of July, Skopje sent a verbal protest note to Athens, following reports of attacks on Fyromian vehicles in Greece and the chanting of nationalist songs at tourists arriving at the border by Greek ultra-nationalists, reportedly members of the Golden Dawn movement.
But some Fyromian tourists said that their own experiences were very different.
“There might be some incidents here and there but the hosts are pleasant, very friendly and the atmosphere relaxed and enjoyable, so I do not worry, I really love it here” said 32-year-old Novica Mislinoski, who added that he goes to Greece almost every summer.
