Great video. So jealous watching from cold wet England. Went to Vouliagemi Lake on a previous visit,and loved it except fish nibbling my toes😊
Thank you! Really about the fish? That must have been a strange sensation 😀
Fantastic video, Im loving them all, please keep up the great work. Cheers
Thank you so much Andy :)
best beach is at blue limani
I haven't been to the north of the island but I plan to visit soon. Thank you :)
εχει κανενα γυπεδακι μπασκετ?
Lovely video. I was in Athens a few weeks ago and the weather wasn't great. I should have waited. In England its 2 degrees and damp.
Thank you so much Sipeb! Yes, it has been quite cold recently but last Sunday was magical and warm. Cold is OK, it is winter after all but dump is a nuisance! Hope your weather gets better :)
Absolutely fantastic, thank you, I will now put Chalkida on my list of places to visit when I return to Greece.
Thank you Andy! 🙂Chalkida is a beautiful destination, as is the rest of Evia island! Yes, do please added it on the list of places.
Hi Evgenia, thanks for making this fantastic video. Ever since I’ve read a novel which is set in Vouligmeni, I have been intrigued by it. Would love to go there one day! Kerry
Thank you so much Kerry! 😊 Vouliagmeni is a fantastic area, that is true! As for visiting it, you can easily do so in your next trip to Athens!
Wonderful video, thank you so much, cant believe the weather is so good for winter and the beach so close to Athens
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. The first beaches in Athens are only 6 km from Acropolis (Paleo Faliro & Edem) and the further you go the more beautiful they are. And the weather was a real treat indeed :)
@@travelthegreekway Thanks for the reply, I was in Athens with my family in July last year and fell in love with it. There is so much to explore, that's why I like your channel because you go to places that most people don't go to, or don't know about. Keep up the good work and your channel will grow very quickly. All the best
@@AndyBarratt-r5i Thank you, Andy! I truly appreciate your support. All the best from Athens 🙂
Great video. Really enjoyed it. Thank you
Thank you so much!
Very nice video. Really enjoyed it.
Thank you so much for watching-I’m so glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Καλή Χρονιά!! σας ευχαριστούμε για τις όμορφες εικόνες που μας δώσατε.
Καλή χρόνιά και σε εσάς Νατάσσα! Σας ευχαριστώ πολύ για τα καλά σας λόγια 🙂
Where is that fancy wall at the 10 min mark?
It's a house in Tsami Karatasou street 64-66 near the Philopappoy hill
Έχω περπατήσει σε αυτούς τους δρόμους πολλές φορές .εχω 7 χρόνια που δεν έχω έλθει στην όμορφη πατρίδα μας .
Κατερίνα, 7 χρόνια είναι πολύς καιρός, ώρα να μας επισκεφτείς 🙂😍
Lovely video. Happy New Year to you.
Thank you! Happy New Year to you too! :)

Love Pireas! Lovely clips of the sunset by the marina :)
Thank you! It was indeed a beautiful moment :)

You are very lucky, Kea is so beautiful!

Thank you!
that's beautiful
Thank you!

Τελειο❤❤❤❤❤
What a stunning sunset view of the Acropolis!
It is from Lycabettus Hill in central Athens :)
I've never heard of Salamina Island. Looks awesome!
It is indeed a hidden gem so close to Athens! You can get there on a 15-minute ferry 🙂
I've never been to Athens, it would be great to do the climb to see the Acropolis from a different perspective!
Yes, it is very impressive and you get to see the Acropolis from various hills all around the city 🙂
Lovely video! Super informative, and the views 😮❤
Thank you 😍
Great video, Evgenia!! And yes, I did those stairs before, brutal, hahahah
Thank you Pati! 😍 Hahaha yes, they are brutal indeed! And they are literally everywhere in Athens 😄
Do I wish I was there!!! Thank you for the video, I love exploring with you.
Aw, thank you so much! 😊 I’m so glad you enjoy exploring with me through the videos. Hopefully, you’ll get to visit someday-it’s even more amazing in person!
@@travelthegreekway I was actually born there in Pireus, move to Australia, grew up there and married and moved to the USA. I can't tell you how many times I have asked my husband from Italian background to move to Greece. He has his kids and grandkids here so it's not in our cards. Not to mention, he doesn't like to travel, so I'll just have to travel with you if you don't mind. ❤😁
@@angief1330 Wow, what an amazing journey you've had! Maybe one day you’ll get to visit again, even if just for a little while. Until then, I’m happy to bring a piece of Greece to you! 🇬🇷❤😊
Nice,I was there in 2010, for 2 weeks.... Salamina,Resti !!
Thank you Florin! 😊 Two weeks sounds like a perfect amount of time to soak it all in-do you have a favorite memory from your trip?
Yes,my ex-girlfriend's mother has lived there for 20-25 years. Beautiful memories,beautiful places....😉😉
@@FlorinR That’s amazing-Greece really does leave you with unforgettable memories! 😊
Rrespekt
Don't forget the fake nuns ...
I haven't seen them for a while in Athens 🙂
@travelthegreekway they were around mainland tourist areas in 2024, like Platamonas
I was in A&B in Petralona
What did you think of the neighborhood? Did you like it?
Great video. I am a little concerned about staying around Omonia , but the price is much more affordable for Airbnb there , especially staying for more than a month and all by myself. I think you helped me. Thank you.
Thank you Luah for your kind words Omonia is indeed a good budget option just be careful with the little streets toward Metaxourgio and stick to major roads and you will be fine! 🙂
@travelthegreekway ευχαριστώ πολύ! 🙂
@@luahcarvalho Παρακαλώ! 🙂
I'm American so will I get arrested if I beat up a pick pocket who tries to rob me? If so, how much is the bail money approximately? Thank you. I enjoy your video.
Thank you Mary for watching, and I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I totally understand the frustration of dealing with pickpockets - it's something no one wants to experience. However, I would never encourage violence because it can easily escalate into something more serious. Staying vigilant and taking precautions is usually the best way to handle it. Hope when you get to Greece, you have a lovely time here! 🙂
@travelthegreekway Thank you for your kind and thorough reply. All you said makes perfect sense and I will follow your suggestions!
Fantastic, thank you, it's so great seeing a Greek person doing a tour of Athens instead of a tourist video. Please keep doing it. I just came back from Greece and I didn't see most of what you showed today. I will definitely be back. Athens feels like home to me.
Thank you so much, Andy, for your kind words! I will definitely add more similar videos of my favorite spots so that everybody can see the less touristy areas as well 🙂
Thank you, great video, please keep up the good work
Thank you, Andy! 🙂
Thank you, super helpful! Can you please tell me what were those streets in Omonia you mentioned that are safe to book a hotel? Thank you for a great video!
Thank you Pati, I am happy you found it useful! 🙂 The hotels on the Omonoia square are fine, and also in Athinas str., Stadiou & Panepistimiou and on 28th October (Patission str)
Valuable suggestions
Thank you 🙂
Very interesting visit
Thank you 🙂
You cover it in a very natural way a person can visit. Beautiful places to spend time there. So Lovely.
Thank you 🙂 They are indeed very beautiful and off-the-beaten-path areas in Athens that are simply fantastic!
We should build more railways
Mnogo mi lici na Kotor.Uskim ulicama moze da prodje auto a u Kotoru ne.
Kotor looks amazing as well! I would love to visit, so I added Kotor in Montenegro to my bucket list! Thank you🙂

This is a lovely and large site! Can you get there by bus from Athens?
It is indeed a very impressive site. YOu can get there by bus if there is a performance during summer, there are buses leaving every 5 pm. If you only want to visit the site, you must go by bus to Nafplio, and get another bus to Epidaurus. This site is visited easier if you are with a car 🙂

It is! 🙂And the water was perfectly warm to stay in the sea for hours!
Hi. I have been to Greece 5 times, but I’ve never been to ionn.,
Sorry. I never been to Corinthos. Ancient ruins looks so wonderful. Thank you showing us, I also enjoyed the museum, too.
@@清少納言-e1g. Corinth is an amazing area, it has so many ruins to visit, the history buff's paradise 😀 I am glad you enjoyed the video and hope next time you visit Greece you go to Corinth😊.
that's outstanding ~Travel- =)
