its not cheap for the most part... not sure about greece, but england, belgium and france were quite expensive for me when i went last year. i heard greece is fucking dirty, as in not clean, but still really nice obvi.

Not terrible, but you should probably define what your opinion of cheap is.  It's manageable by most standards.

keep in mind that the euro is way down, same with airfares, and all that shit.

Greece itself is about the cheapest of any country on the euro, which kicks ass. Great country. If you want to move around though to other countries, you're pretty limited. You can take ferries (say, to italy, which are like 40-50 euro) or fly (discount airlines can be oh so deliciously cheap). Trains are limited, slow, and hotter than all hell (although I can't speak for the ones that go into northern greece).
Rail pass is only worth it (in my opinion) if you expect to take several expensive as shit trains, and decide to do so last minute, otherwise you can get that shit cheap, or close to it, and regional trains are generally pretty inexpensive.
