For the next installment of my Greece series, we're going to take quite the in-depth look around the country and showcasing some of Greece's most awe inspiring, mysterious, and magical landmarks of the past and present. Over the course of this year, I've been fine tuning scenes and creating even more custom terrain mods, custom BATs, custom FSHs, and other various custom content to make the most memorable trip possible - so I hope you'll enjoy the journey!

One of the entries that I liked the most this year (Maybe it is because I have seen some of my BAT's *:kitty:)

Your beautiful recreation of Greece has suggested to me, among many other things, to export some olive trees since the ones we currently have are a bit "out of date".
