Thanks, nice to know.

Wow that’s such a nice thing to do!!

Yep, that's exactly it. Sometimes the leave it on the scanning barriers for people to use.

Cool, I almost thought it was some kind of scam lol.

In a monocultural society people actually want to help out their fellow people 👍

Wow 1973, were there much less tourists?

@@ellieellieellieellieellieI appreciate your comment, as it's given me an excuse to look at my travel journal again. I was on the islands the first 3 weeks of April, so the tourist season wouldn't have started by then. I was the only guest at the hotel in Astypalaia, and Nissyros didn't even have a tourist-type hotel at the time. I stayed at a workers' hostel, which is not to be confused with a traveler's hostel. I stayed at a pension in Rhodes. I skipped the more popular islands like Mykonos. This was before the days of high-speed ferries and low-cost European airlines like Ryanair, so even at the height of the summer tourist season, the crowds then weren't as bad as they are today. I spent the remainder of the summer in Europe, and even during the busiest periods, the crowds at places like the Louvre or Coliseum were not at all like they are today. Happy travels!

@@jm-bv1wh that sounds amazing, I’ve been looking into the smaller and harder to get to islands in an effort to experience something like that. If you ever decide to upload photos of that trip, I’d love to look at them!

@@ellieellieellieellieellie Digital cameras didn't exist in 1973, so I'd have to scan my photos to a computer. Never even thought of doing that. Back then, not all cameras and film were compatible with each other. Someone told me to get an Agfa camera, because Agfa film was available all over Europe, whereas American brands like Kodak were often hard to find and very expensive if you could find it. I got the smallest, cheapest camera available, because of the risk of theft, and light weight. It had a fixed focus without flash, so wasn't very good for landscape photos, but was perfect for snapshots of people, so most photos that I took were of people whom I'd encountered. I'm glad that I did that, because the beaches and mountains are still there, but many of the people whose photos that I took are gone, never to be seen again. I came across a group of young boys playing soccer in Astypalea, and when they saw that I had a camera, they begged me to take their pictures, playfully pushing each other out of the way to be in the front, making funny faces and acting how young boys would act. I would love to go back there with the photos and see if they could be identified 50 years later, to see who was still there, who had moved away, or who had passed away. So many islands to choose from. I'd check out Kefalonia, one of the Ionian islands, and the least touristy of the group, if that's what you're looking for. I met someone who was from there, and he felt that it was one of the most beautiful Greek islands, and not just because he was from there. Definitely harder to get to! Actually easier to get to from Italy, so may take you too far away from the rest of Greece. The good thing is that it's probably hard to go wrong with any of the islands if you do some research. Just avoid Easter in the cities, as it's a major feast/holiday and rooms can be hard to find. Hoping that you go on your trip - don't hesitate! 😊

I think she realised that pretty quickly in her video on Athens and said the exact same thing. It is refreshing to hear someone say “ I stuffed up” and own it. That is why I love her videos and of course she is hilarious:)

Hey Michalis.. I am going to Athens and I booked the President Hotel.. do you know if that is in a good area?

@@Annietheapple Hello Angelina, President is a very good hotel in the good area of Athens. Not the best area, but of course not bad like a Omonoia square. Dont try to come in this square espesially in the night. The only desadvantage for your Hotel's area is that based far away from the famous sightseeing like Acropolis, Plaka, Greek National Garden, Greek Parliament etc... You need to take continuesly, metro which is very closed to the hotel or taxi or bus

@@Annietheapple If you like to walk you can go to Syntagma by walking one of the most beautiful streets in Athens. It's called Vasilissis Sofias. It's about 45 minutes by foot and it's safe.

@@michaelrush6083 I think you don't know anything about Omonia now. It's been restored and the Police has taken charge of everything. Yes it was not that good in the past but now all is good

Dzięki! miło mi słyszeć :)

Thank you so much 🙂

good to know! thanks! :)

Thank you 🤗

Piraeus has improved over the years 👍

Totally agree!

Piraeus has many beauties too, just not near the port, but to its other side. Actually way more beautiful than Athens

comig soon!

Glad to hear it was helpful! :)

As a Greek I suggest you to book your tickets via ferries or any other kind of ship not now but yesterday... Piraeus Port is one of the biggest port in the Mediterranean sea with high traffic especially in the months of July & August.

Thanks for watching!

I know! still so much to see in Greece!

it's GeoMilos :) and I will be sharing more in my next video!

Yes!

No I actually walked :)

GeoMilos

it's the same price :)

Usually it's 10% less if u book it online

except she chooses milos

lol Milos is ok

Milos is fine

They area is good not bad as everyone thinks. The Police has taken charge and it's safe to walk even at night

I'm glad you like it!

And feta is not brown!

I'm not pretending to be an expert! I'm just sharing my experience :)

C'mon stop teasing our girl, she's lovely and travelling alone, that's not so easy at times

Грекам нельзя доверять ничего, этот народ потерял совесть и мораль, страна катится в пропасть, кроме туристического бизнеса надеяться им не на что, 80% населения выживают, за гранью *нищиты*.

jeg var 12 da jeg flytted til Danmark, så ja :)

when did I complain mate? ;)

@@KajaKubicka The title of the video but probably I'm mistaken :)

@@KajaKubicka lol ...I guess he was impressed by the Stanley Hotel it's only a 4 star but has the best breakfast buffet in town ...Z

Ferry system in Greece is wonderful.

You definitely not recommend, but did you ever do it?

The greece is awful for you because every day your politicians talk bad about greece every day they find a problem against Greece. This behavior of Turkey is a global phenomenon

@@nikosnikos8184 I'm sorry if this reply hurt you but I'm not talking about politics , btw I'm not Turkish guy , we're talking about tourism only

so can you write to us the places you visit in mainland besides islands ?

@@skatiarhs007 just Athens , Thessaloniki , and 5 islands , the islands were beautiful but the cities were average honestly comparing with other European cities , When you compare what I paid in Greece with what I got it was frustrating for me and for a tourists in general

Cheap yes but not better

@@elenilepouri7253 wish

As a Greek i want to visit Turkey in the future to see the ancient Greek sights.
