Has anyone had any experiences wearing skirts in Greece? Thinking about booking a holiday there and would like to spend the entire trip in skirts!

No, but the Fustanella is a traditional Greek men's skirt.

It does. What were your observations when in Poland, and what era -- some hope?
It was 1995 so a long time ago now. So my memory from then is not long after the berlin wall came down. East Germans and Polish were generally quite stiff. Men are men mentality.
In my view there was and still is a big gap between men and women.
Germans are very different, even then they were a free and easy people. A softer line between the sexes. I would happily live in Germany again.

We went to Cyprus this year and I took a couple of skirts and a skirted swimming costume. Me being nervous and my wife not keen incase of negative comments I only ventured out late evening skirted to quiet remote areas avoiding the tourist crowds. Had no issues and really enjoyed the feeling of freedom that skirts give. We were hiring an apartment on a complex with 20 or so other apartments and most seemed unoccupied so the pool was quiet most of the time. We again went on the side of caution and went to the pool most late evenings in my black skirted swimming costume. As our time was drawing to an end of our holiday I said to my wife would it be ok if I wear the costume on the next pool day. To my suprise she said "wear what you want to". So next day we went to the pool in the morning both sporting our skirted swimming costumes. The day went on, we were in and out the pool. We had a few people came and go. Yes I definitely got some double takes, maybe taking between them but no comments. Best day of the holiday!

I had never seen men wearing female swimming costumes out in public at a pool or beach (but I have tried my wife’s costumes on just to see how they feel and fit) until last year in France we had two men who appeared to be in a relationship wearing one piece costumes at the pool.

I find it absolutely fantastic that your wife supports you wearing a female skirts costume to the pool. I bet you did feel wonderful.
My only concern is tan lines. Same when i wear a camisole Im concerned I’ll end up with the shape of the camisole tanned into my upper torso.

For a UK Centre Parc holiday, I bought myself one of Slipins dive skins. I am a wimp and previous years I always got cold in the "Tropical" swimming centre, so some years I never bothered swimming. However in my dive skin, the swimming was fun and I had a great time with no problem or issue with the pool staff or my family.
However, coming up to this year's holiday, Mrs Mouse let me know a week before, that every family member hated my dive skin and could I not wear it this time..... I didn't go swimming this year.
Daily, a happy man in a skirt...
