Italians buy olive oil from Greece, mix it with theirs and re-sell it as Italian.

Nobody wakes up at 5:30am in Greece. That’s when they are coming home from the bars 😂 forget going to the gym at that time lol

Italians at least the past years used to buy Greek oil and sell it as it was of their production!That s a fact that was even declared through media!Maybe that way raised their popularity!

Regarding the state of antiquities in Rome and Athens, you must remember that the Greeks preceded the Romans by several hundred years. Even tho the style looks exactly the same, and it is, the type of architecture spanned many centuries. So Roman and Greek antiquities are absolutely not of the same time. But you’re right, they were not taken care of, the Christians basically destroyed all the temples, or most of them, and used the materials to build churches. And then other occupiers, such as the Ottomans, kept Greeks quite poor, so there wasn’t any interest or education about preserving antiquities. That’s more of a modern and contemporary notion

I visit Athens often. I must say that I really like visiting the city. I adore the northern suburbs: Kifissia, Politeia, Ekali. Food is absolutely awesome. I absolutely adore the ancient sites.

The appearance of othomans turks in this region ( east Europe, Asia Minor) few centuries ego had huge negative consequences for the local nations. Sad

Spain has the most olive oil. Italy is the better known exporter of foods. Greece has the best olive oil. and a lot of it gets bought by italian companies, they slap an italian flag on it and bump up the price to sell to the normies. Gyms also suck in Greece. There are no 24/7 gyms. You want to work out on a Sunday or late at night? tough luck. And prices are insanely high, like 70 euros a month. Yeah Italian ruins are very well preserved. Compared to the northern Italian ruins, Greek ruins are older. And unlike Italy, Greece was under occupation from Turks who tore temples down to use as materials for mosques. And the same thing was done by the church as well. Sad. Also the Parthenon was bombed twice. Once from the Venetians while it was used as gunpowder storage (genius) and once from the Nazis. And it still stands!....kinda. Some of the ruins also gotcovered up or tore down because in the 1900s there was a huge housing crisis. Because millions of Greeks moved from Turkey to modern day Greece. And people were desparate, plus not educated enough / didn't care about preserving the ruins. Sad. If you want to see better Greek ruins go to "old Greece" areas, like West Turkey and South Italy. You'll find whole ancient greek cities there.

There's no hype. A million Americans decided to visit Athens, none of you bother to research the rest of the country (and find out about historically preserved cities like Chania, Ermoupoli, Nafplio, Corfu, Hydra), then you make your millionth video about Athens, thinking you've invented the wheel. As for antiquities: I don't think anyone expects anything older than 1500 years to be intact. It's the same in Athens, Rome, Stonehenge, Macchu Picchu, or Angkor Wat.

Thanks for the video ❤ As for the condition of the antiquities, the land we now know as Greece had been bombarded, raided and its treasures sold off or stolen. So there you have it.

People often forget that the Greek peninsula (roughly within the boundaries of today's Greek state), including Athens, lost its prominence in the early medieval period. The medieval centre of Greek culture actually shifted to Anatolia (modern Turkey) and the capital of the medieval Greek world became Constantinople (modern Istanbul).

Honey who goes to the gym at 5:30 in the morning in Greece???WTH??We sleep at least at 12 o’clock at midnight.At foreign countries people sleep at 10 o’clock maximum…That’s our dinner time

LOL....gym at 05:30 a.m !!!bro you re in Greece...you cant expect to find your routines in a foreign country

Athens is not designed for people:Concrete everywhere ,almost no parks around the city center,huge traffic jams.BUT:the urban feeling you get ,especialy by night, is unique and nowhere else to be found in Europe.Food quality has also improved a lot in the last 10 years or so and i 'm not talking about souvlaki or gyros or mousaka. All you have to do is to avoid touristic hot spots ,like anywhere else in the world

Italy buys some of their olive from Spain, your hair looks good

Did you go to the Greek macedon area ? Were Alexander the Great was born?

QUALITY

There are not publics ubers in Greece

Free Now is Uber on steroids and has more drivers on tap that UBER which uses taxis anyway. Rather use Free Now than Uber if you are looking for prompt service

Great content keep it up!

JUst wrapped up Athens. Its a great city and easily commutable. But strictly as a tourist, 3 days are enough and t6he sites including Parthenon are cool but not a must see on a bucket list. I would rate it a must see for serious history buffs and then for the rest if you have extra time and money. Greek Food is also limited in choices Shopping is not that great either. Better to go to their islands to chill, but they are expensive. Rate it a "B". Spend more time in Istanbul instead.

Mainland is better then Athens.

Forget Italian Olive oil go Spanish, Tunisian, Greek or Libyan.

Greek Empire?

I prefer Thessaloniki

Concrete jungle full of unmaintained buildings, rude drivers, and noisy kagkouras men

There is hype for Athens? Lol. It is literally the worst place in the entire country.

greeks think their product are the best in the world, but the word keep ignoring them lol
