Greece is better than Turky of course. It is more beautiful, it has better culture, it has better economics. I want to tell me your opinion in my question.

Oh absolutely, Greece is light years better than Turkey.
First of all because Greece is a European Community member it is much easier to travel from there to just about anywhere in Europe. Ryanair is just one incredible company, Literally pennies on many of their flights!
Because the Currency is the Euro it is so much more stable than the Turkish Lira.
Legal rights and Human Rights in Turkey are a nightmare, heaven help you if you cross the wrong person especially if the police take an "interest" in you at all!
Having lived in both Istanbul and Athens, I would tell you , while the whole world is not a perfect place, you are so much better off in Greece.
And the chance of getting out without having to bribe anybody is much much much better in Greece than in Turkey.
Hope that helps.

I won't even ask where like another user cause I find such answer completely funny! Greece is better than Turkey in every possible aspect of human activity and life, there's no contest.

Better is such a vague term and open to personal interpretation. So of course Greece is not better than Turkey and vice versa. There are a lot of similarities due to geography and cultural intermixing. There is a natural tendency to find ones native land better than everybody else. So if you are Greek, Greece is better than Turkey and the opposite is also valid. If you are a tourist in all honesty you are in no position to really Judge. Both cultures have both positive and negative aspects. Nobody in the world is better or worse, just different. (I'm Greek)

I never really like to say one country or place is better than another because every country has such unique qualities. That's why so many people around the world have been bitten by the "travel bug". I don't know much about Turkey, but the thing I have to say I love about Greece is the architecture, history, culture, landmarks.... Its just a Historian's dream really.

The question seems to be rather provocative. The greeks will answer rightfully so in favor of their country and the turks obviously will support the suppremacy of their own (and they will rate accordingly the answers of the "others"). So, I suggest you make up your own opinion, comparing:
- landscape
- history
- ancient AND modern culture
- economy
- respect of human rights
- democracy and levels of cencorship
- equality of women and rights of minorities
I presume the conclusion will be clear - although one has 10 million people and the other about 80.

Both countries have goods and bads . The thing is that most of Turkey's goods are of Greek origin. (Monuments,food,Konstantinople , music,buildings,history) :) (Sorry my friends Turks but thats the way it is) So why not prefer the original? Also Greece is an EU member which means the country is ages ahead of Turkey in terms of economy,human rights,culture etc .
At the end it depends on what each person likes and dislikes and what counts for him the most.

The question is highly subjective and I do agree with The Stai. Having said that, to those who are interested in what has been called the "Cradle of Western Civilization" Greece remains unparalleled.

I've been to greece and of course is beautiful. Especially the Mykonos island and santorini island. However, if u prefer something less europe and more towards arab Turkey is the choice. I think both countries are good....go both sides, divide your travelling days equally...

Hello from Turkey
We have the same ethnic culture such as ; we both drink raki , eat musakka , kofte , cacik , even the same traditional puppet show ( hacivat- karagöz ) etc. We have been living together in peace for centuries. Turks are very fond of greeks and actually ı know that also Greeks are fond of the Turks. But ofcourse beauty changes according to ones taste.
Over all , they both are very similar countries .
THE REST İS POLİTİCS
