@@KristinasTravels oh my heavens! Aside from the Parthenon and the traffic, from memory nothing was familiar! We went through Athens to Piraeus for various boats to various islands over the intervening years but nothing was familiar! That made it more special and a serious nudge that as soon as I have recovered from this current health challenge, best get on a plane!!!! Really looking forward to where next!!!

You talk about history, translations of words for culture, your own feelings, and take us on a journey that feels like I've actually learned something as well as seen the city through the camera. You should easily have 1m subs! Keep up the great work both of you!

Oh and lots and lots of history as you've found out! Although we love your boating video's its been great to see you out and about and exploring the sites. Both my girls are hungry now after watching that but don't feel I can rustle up anything as good lol. I think where you're headed next they did some famous films there - will have to look that up! Enjoy your time in Greece and we can't wait for the next one! Oh - PPS my youngest said the guards looked funny with pom-poms on their shoes lol.

It was nice to see the old part of Athens. If you ever go again try visiting the affluent beach side neighborhoods which lie east of the city center like Glyfada, Bouliagmeni, and Sounion which has an ancient temple similar to the Acropolis. Also the mountainous suburbs to the north like Kifisia.

Hey guys what a difference land video's are from sea video's & probably more people can relate to land video's over sea video's but hey, whatever floats your boat right. Good to see you guys out & about in Athens & t,o see that magnificent structure the Pathenon & you walking thro Plaka which I thought was very unique. I must say that your filming whilst walking is fantastic as no camera shake at alll. Greece must be so special to you guys & its wheree you clinched the deal on Tucano in an Air B&B, Tight streets to navigate but fortunately you have a very small car. I can tell that you are really loving your 'now current life' on a boat in the Bahamas with lovely day temps & dressed to suit. Have a ball guys whilst I go for a shower & a 19C day in Melbourne. Love.

In 1978 I was in Egypt. Went on a tour to Cyprus, Israel, Greece then Turkey. Had a blast! It was really funny showing up in Turkey with the last four Country stamps in my passport. Had two undercover police follow us for 2 weeks, we made friends with them on the second day and they became our unofficial tour guides. As soon as someone who desired to scam use they seen the two fellows in their distinctive clothes they wore, NO one hassled us

(Tips from a local). The Acropolis museum is convenient but the excibits are subpar. If you want the real stuff you go to the Athens Archaeological Museum where you will find ancient swords and armor from the Trojan War, the mask of Agamemnon, an ancient Greek analog computer, high quality statues from the Oracle of Delphi and much much more. If you are also into history and warfare you can also try the War museum, with excibits from the ancient past, Balkan Wars, WW1, WW2, aircraft, artillery pieces and so on.
