Living 4 years in Cyprus as expat from Azerbaijan, and visited Athens one day for my birthday - I changed my opinion about Greek culture. Many my Greek friends(from Greece) say dont go to Athens and bla bla. It was kind of shock to me and my friends that while Greek Cyprus s very calm nice relax and chill, and then we go to Athens and boom, we see first time greek hard core urbanization. Seriously, I fall in love with Athens, I dont know why. seems it has very surprising, unexpected, edgy vibe.

I live abroad and whenever I return to Athens it saddens me to see that the restaurant with a the traditional motif in decoration combining traditionally cooked food are steadily diminishing and already start to become fairly rare, as they give way to fast food and those restaurants cooking fancy modern supposedly trendy imported recipes which are more interested in presentation and with the convenience of relatively simplified cooking methods instead of the over-prolonged and elaborate cooking expected for those traditional Greek dishes. I mean the kind of restaurants that the chef spends more time decorating the plate, than cooking the food. Watching this video also saddens me because in this video traditional Greek cuisine that our ancestors used to eat is regrettably forgotten. For example foreign visitor don’t know what they are missing if they have not tasted the traditional cuisine cooked by Ms Rania Karatzeni owner the restaurant named Oinomageireio Epirus located in the Varvakio central meat market of Athens. Frankly I rather go to a restaurant that focus on elaborate family-style traditional Greek cuisine, instead of those restaurants that xenomaniac Greeks love enjoying the ‘’trendy ambiance’’ LOL and the artistic presentations of the food served into fancy futuristic dishes using peculiarly styled cutlery, which are all more important to them than the flavor of the food … LOL

@kostaskazakis4919 Жыл бұрын

I agree kind of, but I don't believe it will get lost, because even the new generation still wants the traditional old mother made food. This is what makes us! Greece is unique and will not get lost, we never die :-D But I also agree that somehow a lot of people wants to be like the others, and the danger about that is, that they are trying to make everything the same. The whole world to be same? Please don't! For eg Cyprus, Limassol now are building Skyscrapers and wants to be like Dubai, Singapore, USA cities, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur etc. All the same, I find it wrong. No uniqueness anymore and the culture dies.

@MrJm323 Жыл бұрын

Uh, ....No. Yeah, it died; it was KILLED by the Greeks -- Christian Greeks, Rhomaioi ("Romans"). Indeed, the term "Hellene", starting around the 4th, 5th, or 6th centuries, became a deprecatory expression for "pagan" (and not even necessarily Greek pagan either). Yeah, Theodosius and Justinian weren't fans of the "Hellenes". Thank goodness the Latin West revived Aristotle (Renaissance of the Twelfth Century) and later the Italians revived the humanities (something like the old paideia) in the Renaissance of the 15th Century, and then the neo-classicism of the Enlightenment (mainly northwest Europe) brought BACK to Greece the legacy of Hellenism, eh? ....THEN, your much more recent ancestors started calling themselves "Hellenes" again.

So thank you, and I'll keep watching your videos because I have a feeling you'll show the actual interesting and cultural parts of places around the world, not promoting this stupid tourist mainstream culture.

The ancient Greek gave so much to the world not the least mainly to the Arabs and Muslims, and Middle East (which you can see it in many aspects of their culture to this day) which they gave back in return to Europe through Andalusia (Spain). If the Romans were once the heart of the world, the Greek were the mind. ❤

Austerity Measures were still in place and a lot of graffiti reflected the pain people felt. Athens and their beaches are to the locals like the Cyclades are to tourists. They know how to enjoy life.
