Even the roads between fields offered something nice to look at. Driving through the mountainous parts of Greece, there were great views one after another. But after travelling through the country, I can say I was pleasantly surprised. "When we were doing our preliminary research, we saw that some of the roads we looked at weren't exactly exciting. Starting our expedition fueled by the expectations set during our preliminary research, Jakub unfolds the tale of the team's voyage through Greece's varied terrains, which he fell in love with. A lot of details that you don't notice on Google Maps, or don't stand out as much, often give a completely different dimension and feel to a place in person," says David. "It was definitely beneficial to see the places I'm going to be doing on the map live. The biggest gem for me was definitely the Meteora Monasteries," says Ilona.Īs the team confirms, it's a big advantage to see the country for yourself before working on implementing it into the game. "What I liked most about Greece was the omnipresent smell of diverse vegetation and the distinctive landscape, which I hope we will be able to capture in the DLC. The majestic Meteora Monasteries were probably one of the team's favourite places, as Ilona agrees with. As part of our travels, we also visited an olive farm in the Messenia region, where we learned more about the process of olive oil production, a symbol of Greek cuisine and culture," Michal shares with us. We mapped some of them in more detail, such as the Corinth Canal, the Meteora Monasteries, and the Rio-Antirio Bridge. Greece struck us as a very diverse, culturally and historically interesting country with lots of monuments and important sites. The climate is reflected in the architecture, which is full of balconies and loggias shaded by awnings. "Our first destination was the drier and rockier Crete. In the course of eight days, they journeyed through Greece, from its southern reaches to the north, exploring islands, coastal stretches, and inland areas. The team consisted of Ilona, Michal, Karina, Jakub, David, and Artur. Now, we interviewed them about their trip and how it benefited them! Their quest? To gather references and inspiration to create the Greece DLC for our #BestCommunityEver as accurately as possible.
