I've been to Greece, but never Mexico.
History of Greece screams for my attention. The food. Greek people. Not a fan of the jellyfish I always seem to find though.
Mexico.. again full of history of another sort.. Mayans, Aztecs, PIRATES! Cortez. I speak enough Spanish to have a great night out. Jungle. Not keen on the grub though and the drug cartel war can over spill into tourist zones. Look at Acapulco now compared to what it was!
Think I'd go with Mexico though.. Danger doesnt put me off too much.. I've never been.. plus I may get the opportunity to see a Great White Shark! *Ghengis gets a stiffy* |

Mexico is an absolutely beautiful country. I'd go there again in a heartbeat, if I didn't detest long flights so much!
Guadalajara is great for culture, city life and it's proximity to the town of Tequila (or stay in Tequila itself for a slower pace of life) Merida in the Yucatan has jungles and absolutely shitloads of history (Mayan is still the first language out there) and as mentioned above, the Caribbean coast is gorgeous. I spent a couple of nights in Playa Del Carmen which someone mentioned above, and it was fabulous. All the luxury of Cancun but without all the posing wankers and extortionate price tags. It's also not far up the coast from Tulum, the only coastal Mayan city in Mexico. |

I went to the Yucatan Peninsula. Stayed at Playa del Carmen. Travelled to Chichenitza (Mayan city ruins) and Xcaret (Nature Park - the underground rivers are amazing). If you like snorkelling/scuba there is the island of Cozumel nearby. Been to Greece too but Mexico defo worth the trip. |

Love Greece. For a short flight I would recommend it. I go to a sleepy fishing village that is sadly becoming somewhat gentrified but it’s still brilliant.
However I love Mexico more and if you upgrade the flights then it’s not so much a ball ache anymore.
I have wandered round Mexico without incident. Some of the most welcoming people I have ever had the pleasure to meet. I have also done a couple of adults only hotels which were fun. The nightlife is very interesting but I spent most of my time out of those areas.

So true. I'd rather have the Greek recession and cartels over Brexit and Boris
