We travel with a Microsoft Surface everywhere we go. I edit my videos on it & use it to backup my pictures and vides while we travel. It’s light and the best travel laptop on the market in my opinion.
amzn.to/2L55pDR
We use Sony Alpha series cameras to film our videos. They are compact so you don’t look like a super tourist when you take great pictures and videos while you travel.
amzn.to/2WbTNFH
We use Manfrotto Tripods. They are compact, travel well, and honestly I would not use another tripod for my nice cameras.

Travel Plug that works in pretty much any country & has four USB ports. A must for any traveler.

I think I must make something clear: The stuff they bring to you in Greek restaurants after you ask for the bill is a "kerasma" as the Greeks call it, it's a free offer. They do not charge you for it. It is a way to tell you two things: 1)Thank you for your preference to our shop and 2)It is a "farewell" for leaving a place. Greeks do this also if you leave a house after a visit. It is an ancient habitude; the food and drink "to keep you strong for the road ahead".

People here at Rio invite you to a restaurant and even expect you to pay for your meal. I always thought that was rude and disrespectful, glad to know greeks agree with me. Its basically saying their presence (not yours) is something worth paying for and they dont actually care about you, ughhh so arrogant. If you invite someone somewhere Which isnt free, you should at least pay for them. Thats how you show them you consider them a friend, not a toy. Dates are another thing, but friendships are more important than fucking someone.

For me nothing shocking in Greece. Great country with the amazing history, a cradle of European civilization, hard working, friendly and helpful people and the level of hospitality incomparable to other countries around. Greece and Poland had the strongest resistance Underground Army during WWII, both countries suffered a lot of pain from its neighbour in the history, we share the same values based on the power of good tradition, family and faith. There is a strength in diversity, nothing to be shocked about.

I’m from Brazil. I went Island hopping in Greece for about a month in 1999 when I was living and studying in the UK. I was in a constant state of exhilaration and did not want to live! I have gone back to many other Greek Islands since then and have traveled to many places around the world including Maldives, the Caribbean Islands, Thailand etc etc which I absolutely love but I must say Greece is one of my favorite places on earth. Greece is the only place where I do not feel exploited and it has the most beautiful sunrises and sunsets, great food, beautiful islands, the most wonderful, friendly, caring and expressive people I have ever met. I lived in the UK for about 20 years, have lived in Qatar, Bahrain for the past 6 years and If there is one place I could live happily for the rest of my life it would be Greece.

I cannot begin to tell you how many times I've had to help tourists who are heatstriken and sunburnt. Seriously people. Greek sun and heat are brutal! PLEASE wear a sunscreen whenever you are outside, please carry a fan and a bottle of cold water with you, please don't eat heavy food and drink tons of alcohol cause it will make you feel stuffy. I want you to come here and have a good time, not get hurt. Moreover, if something happens to you, do not hesitate to ask locals for help. Even in the big cities. Ask us for help, ask us for instructions or recommendations. If a Greek doesn't know how to help you, they will ask around for you until they find a way. Three more things that shock tourists, explained: #1 If you are in the bus and suddenly all the Greeks are crossing themselves, don't panic! We are not about to die! Whenever the bus passes outside a church, we cross ourselves. #2 Cafeterias are full all day long, not because we don't work & are lazy, but because it's our culture. If we have a 20min break at work, we prefer to go to a cafeteria instead of eating or resting. We are people who really enjoy going out for a coffee and a talk with friends. It 's how we destress. #3 Many people in Greece will smile, nod or say hello to you if your eyes meet. It's considered the polite thing to do. No they don't know you, no they don't want anything from you, no they are not flirting with you. They are just being polite. Greece is amazing in the winter. We go to all those traditional Greek villages & resorts in the mountains and we do trekking, climbing, horseriding, eat great food and more. Greece is not all about summer, islands , beaches and white houses with blue doors. If some of you visited in the winter you would have an equally amazing time.

I love the Mediterranean, but Greece is by far my favorite, and if you’re lucky, you might even land yourself that special someone while you’re there like I did, haha. I would like to mention though that Greeks are very, and I mean VERY open about their political and philosophical views and are quick to speak their mind, even after just meeting you. Also, given the current state of things, many Greeks have issues with the United States, don’t even get them started on ‘the NATO’, lol. Also many Greeks are masters at complaining, they can do it for hours. Generally speaking, as long as you’re not being disrespectful or acting like a total ass, the Greeks will like you, treat you nicely, and show you a good time. They’re really awesome people, and the whole ‘Greek time’ is no joke. Even being from the American South, where we take time more slowly than much of the rest of America... it’s still a lot slower than what I’m used to. The food is no joke either, some of the best I’ve ever eaten, Greek women will try to put a belly on you! You’ve been warned. Haha

We are "American Greeks" who visited again last year. What we found so beautiful was the teenagers hanging in the plateia (CityPark) and acting like nice, moral kids. No fights, a little bad language, and a general respect among themselves. We highly recommend you find a community plateia and spend some evening time. In Athens, we were in Nea Smyrne for several weeks and went every night just to walk and relax. Life begins at 9PM and goes on till wee hours in the summertime there. There's all kind of restaurants in and around the square. My heart is still there!

@@PoolD3ad007 Las Vegas is kind of fun for a day or two. But it's really a cheap, plastic crappy version of what you can get in Monte Carlo or numerous other places in Europe. Los Angeles is a complete garbage fire - you should avoid it like the plague. It's not nice at all. If you wanna visit the west coast at least go to San Francisco instead. SF has its problems but it's MUCH better than LA. A lot of people fly into San Diego and take highway 101 up to LA, then to Las Vegas and from there to SF. But yeah, don't go to LA. Especially if you don't like dirty cities. I've been to Athens and I grew up 1.5 hrs north of LA. LA makes Athens look like it's spotless. Honestly there's not much to see in the US compared to Europe. Unless you like nature - that's the only thing in which we can beat Europe. Yosemite, the Grand Canyon, Zion etc. are all absolutely stunning national parks.

I felt so at home. Anxious to go back. Kudos for another spot-on video!

Greece is my favorite place on earth. I go every summer. For me the trick is to give yourself extra time. Don’t rush from place to place. You’ll just get frustrated. As you say, take your patience. You mentioned the portions, but not that when you don’t eat it you’re probably going to get some grief about it-“You no like it?” So I agree, don’t eat for half the day ahead! That includes restaurants! You do have to get to ferries and flights on time, but those aren’t always on time either-especially if you factor in strikes. (Though strikes are usually scheduled, so check ahead!) Safety isn’t as over the top as in the states. Guardrails and warning signs aren’t everywhere. You have to pay attention and take care of yourself. I went for a walk past the Skiathos airport and learned all about jet blasts once. I love that the kids are free range-but I hear tourists griping about it. I hope none of this ever changes. I think the Yia Yias are hanging around outside the school yards keeping an eye and cheering their grandkids on in sports and dances. Greek is a tough language to learn, and occasionally I have some bust out laughing at my accent, but I think they appreciate the effort. :) Thanks for the videos. Usually I know these tips from my own travels but I still like to watch them!

@George B. I do so hope you can fulfil your dream, George. Back in the 1980’s My late partner and I used to go to a different island every year for about 20 years and we also toured the mainland. We felt more welcomed by the Greek people than any other people around the world.On several occasions we were “hi jacked” on the street, ( usually by little old ladies and given fruit or food that they had on them. One time, in Kalymnos, an old lady came and took me by the hand and led us up to her house which was carved out of rock in the hillside, and we sat and had coffee with her, she didn’t speak English and we didn’t speak Greek but it didn’t matter at all! It was like we were her family. When we left we tried to give her some nuts and pistachios that we had, for her kindness, and eventually she took them, but after we got 10 yards down the hill she caught up with us and pressed an apple into my hand. Honestly, we didn’t want to leave, but we had to get the boat back to Kos. Fabulous times, fabulous people,food, history, climate. Go home, George

One thing that may shock a lot of tourists is how coffee culture works here in Greece, ive recentely traveled to Austria and ive noticed that cafes/coffee shops are more about drinking your coffee and leaving when you are finished, here in Greece coffee shops /cafes are places that you mostly socialize or hang out with friends, so when you buy a coffee (id recommend frape, fredo espresso those are the most common iced coffees) or whatever drink you want, dont rush to drink it, you are there to relax first and foremost, so light a cigarette and enjoy your coffee at your own pace(also if you want your coffee to not have any sugar you say "sketo" if you want some sugar about 2 tea spoons you say "metrios" and if you want your coffee to be sweet you say "glykos")Another thing is that cafes/coffee shops are where young people socialize while "kafenia" are where the older folks socialize

We were in Naxos a few months back. It was my first time in Greece and a lot of what you're saying is spot on. Luckily almost everyone I was with had been there before. Plaka Beach is stunning and the Naxions really know potatoes.

Just got back from a trip to Italy, with a one night stay in Athens. We loved Greece and definitely want to explore more of it. We wished we did a second night there but only so much you can cram into one trip.

Mason Brooks wife and I did a week in Rome. Was amazing! I could live there. If you go there stay at hotel ISA. Great location to getting around to the sites. It’s not city center tourist and crazy but perfect. Eat breakfast on the terrace over looking the Vatican. Will be going back

@@puffthemagicdragon2665 in greece during summer around 14:00 time stops till its 17:00... nothing moves around and those who do are tourists either on their first day here or from very cold weather places . Greece in summer looks like those old stereotypical cartoony depictions of the mexican sleeping under a sobrero during midday siesta... unless u go to a beach ... there its very lively.

We just cruised the Greek islands this mid October, no need for sun block then! But it was still warm, mid to upper 70s - low 80s, and the Mediterranean was fantastic! My first time swimming in the same sea (Rhodes) as so many ancient peoples did! It was truly very exciting for me!! The best fried calimari we ever had was at that little restaurant on Santorini, practically right under the cable cars right on the bay! Huge portion, and cheap too!

Meteora is a must. If you want to see something like mountains out of Lord of the Rings with isolated monasteries on top, its great. Also green light means go, yellow light means go and red light means drive faster. So as a pedestrian always look don't walk with head down like your in Toronto or NYC.

Such a beautiful and informative 'tour'. I have travelled to quite a few places in my life time and Greece is one of the best countries to live in. Where does one begin, the months of sunshine, the historical ruins/ sights, the crystal clear waters, the rich history and culture and last but not least,,,,the delicious food which is to die for!. Bottom line , Greece is Life!!!
