11:44 when you have turks with a population of almost 80 million and you have them everyday saying that they will invade then YES the army has to take measures including the age part and of course Alexander the Great was GREEK:), he spoke Greek and had the Greek culture!

Greek food is considered second best in the world after Italian food, but like Italian food the ingredients must be the best quality and preferably made in Greece

@AthanasiosK 10 ай бұрын

I am from Greece, grew up in one of the many small islands and my opinion about cruises is, stay away. If you want to explore Greece or Italy just visit the countries and travel around. It's going to be about the same cost as a cruise, and you also immerse yourself in the actual culture, with a cruise you are not just visiting with thousands of other tourists for 5 hours, that really strains small towns and really doesn't help them put their best foot forward.

Greek food in Greece taste’s way better in Greece than anywhere in the world. Very different. Lamb in Greece compared to Australia for example is really different.

That's because the animals in the mountains eat alot of local herbs and at the same time on mountains near the sea the moisture forming over them contains salt which makes the meat most tasty. For example my mom was born to the Ionian island of Keffalonia and the lamps or goats on a certain area after they get slaughtered they shouldn't be salted before they are cooked. Otherwise they end up so salty that it's useless. So they are ready for consumption. In general the red meat produced on the whole island isn't much treated with lots of salt rather little or even none.

Love from Athens and great reaction. The island you try to remember is Santorini. It's beautiful and you have to visit it atleast once, but the island I would recommend for a trip with more stuff to see (not that you can't visit both) is the island of Crete. The biggest island in Greece with a ton of history and its own unique culture. And just to correct you on something, the greek empire was not a thing. Before Alexander the Great and his father, Greece was made up of many independent city States (Like Athens, Sparta, Corinth etc.) Which while they shared some culture and gods were very often in disputes and wars with one another. So a better term to refer to that Era is the Greek (or as I prefer Hellenic) Civilization.

Imo Greece (and generally the Mediterranean diet) is the best in the world. Especially if you eat in Greece. They are top notch and the fact that we live so long is a testament to it. Also gyros, souvlakia, mousakas, dolmadakia are a must to try.

One comment on the video by Geography now. The dead are buried in public cemeteries and after a 3 year period if they are found not to have been absorbed then they are left for a couple of years more or until they do. But it's an option to buy a family grave that all the members of a family rest till the last member dies. Then again the procedure I described above is followed till they establish that even the last body has been absorbed. Those on ones that were exhumed and washed with vinegar where victims of a certain vengeance act during the WWII on the village of Kalavryta where hundrends of people were executed by the German Nazis as they discovered that this particular village was helping Greek resistance fighters on their guerilla warfare against the Nazi occupiers. It's not the only village that this happened but on this village they executed even whole families and they tried to burn also a school. Many more villages fell of victims of that brutal behaviour like Kandanos in Crete in Distomo in Central Greece near mountain Parnassus like Kommeno near Preveza city and many more. Those who martyred there was decided by their younger ones to be exhumed and their bones to be cleaned and kept on special display for the world to witness the atrocities made by Germans eternally.

@@BoringReviews Honestly, Greek food is very simple. That's what we like. A few herbs and that's it. If you like complicated flavours, it is not for you. However, I tried Greek food in the States and it was horrible and with super limited options. Fresh ingredients and variety (fish, seafood, vegetables etc) are super important, so you can trully find out if you like it, only if you have it in Greece.

Οι έλληνες,στη μακραίωνη ιστορία τους, δημιούργησαν δύο αυτοκρατορίες. Η πρώτη, δημιουργήθηκε με την εκστρατεία του Μεγάλου Αλεξάνδρου εναντίον των Περσών.Με το θάνατο του Μεγάλου Αλεξάνδρου, η αυτοκρατορία του διαιρέθηκε στα ελληνιστικά βασίλεια των επιγόνων του.Τα βασίλεια αυτά, αντιμάχονταν μεταξύ τους για την κατάκτηση της απόλυτης ηγεμονίας. Από τους συνεχείς πολέμους αποδυναμώθηκαν και παρήκμασαν, σε βαθμό που έγιναν εύκολη λεία για την ανερχόμενη ρωμαϊκή αυτοκρστορία. Η δευτερη, είναι η βυζαντινή αυτοκρατορία που αποτέλεσε την ιστορικη συνέχεια της ρωμαϊκής αυτοκρατορίας μετά την παρακμή της τελευταίας.

@@BoringReviews idk where u got that information but that's just bs, everyone with a basic history knowledge knows that a greek empire never existed. Historians refer to Ancient Greece as a civilization. That's because it was never an empire. It was never a country. (Greece did not become an independent country until modern times, in 1821, or less than 200 years ago.) Everybody here in europe knows that greeks had multiple city-state like sparta and athens that were different and for sure not under a greek empire. And Alexander the Great was the King of Macedonia not of the "greek empire" that never existed. Please dont be so american i kinda liked u

@BoringReviews Жыл бұрын

Fair enough. Even when I say it in the video I’m not very confident about it. Civilization it is. I got that blurb from Google so I thought it was cool that there was something on it. I never claim in these videos that I’m an expert on any country. Not even my own.

@Peterkonto Жыл бұрын

@simonebosticardo964 ..Alexander the Great united Greece, restablished the Corinthian League and conquered the Persian Empire, this is stressed from all credible historical scholars across the world ..Also the ancient Macedonians who were Greek linguistically culturally and also believed in the ancient Greek gods spread the Greek language culture and customs across the then known world ...Please stop being a idiot even American historical scholars know the Ancient Macedonians were Greeks.. Ancient Greece had one language and culture but was not unified until 337 BC, when Macedonia defeated Athens and Thebes. That marked the end of the Classical period and the start of the Hellenistic period Meaning Greek.. Herald British Museum. BRITTANICA ENCYCLOPEDIA
