The baby’s laughter. The color of the sea contrast to the sky. The heavenly Greek music. Food. Feta. The wine. OMG. I. Want to be there immediately. I adore. The color of his hair as he grows up. His laugh is delightful. And did I mention the quality of the drone shots. AMAZING. WELL DONE 🌼🌻💛🌻🌼🌼☮️✝️✝️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💛🌻🌼💛

Your Dad doing his daily morning yoga is amazing! It's sad the holiday was shadowed by such an extreme lack of sleep, especially since it's so unnecessary. I feel like society can make mums feel if they're not martyrs that forsake their every basic human need for months on end, then they don't love their children. Waking every hour for a toddler does not have to be normal or endured. Of course, it would be best to check with the paediatrician that nothing is wrong, but he is likely simply waking often because he hasn't been taught to settle himself and so needs the breast to settle. Sleep training doesn't have to be harsh, I did gentle sleep training. It takes a lot more effort and patience and time compared to cry it out methods, but it works. No one should have to have broken sleep for such long periods of time, not you nor your child. ❤
THANK YOU so much Kylie - you have no idea how much my soul was in need of this magical episode. I had unstoppable tears rolling down my face hearing them speaking Greek on the local radio. I have a connection to Greece that goes beyond anything I can explain in words. The sweet scent of the earth and shrubs when you smell them on that first morning makes my heart glow with love & tenderness every time I’m there. You grandfather! How courageous -and how handsome!! You obviously inherit a lot of his passion and tenacity. It was pure delight to watch you and your family enjoying time together on this holiday. Thank you again!❤❤❤❤
If you keep nursing him when he wakes up, he will wake just for that . He doesn’t need it for nutrition at this age , he doesn’t need anything at night ,it’s purely comfort , but you yourself need rest . You need to let him cry through . Go to him, reassure nothing is wrong , say nothing , leave the room , or go back to bed . Repeat , do that he realises it’s not worth the getting you up . Any reaction is a bonus so eventually he will realise . I’m a mum of 7 , and a registered nurse .
American I’ m sure! Terrible advice. No other country in d world lets kids cry themselves to sleep nor jabbs them as much. SICK. poor your kids. Lets see when you get older alone and cry yourself to sleep if any of your kids will come visit or just let you cry till you fall asleep
Καλωσορισατε!!! Welcome Home Kylie μου, for Greece is not a foreign country. Your elegant and wise grandfather knew this and your aesthetically stunning video proves it. I dedicate this to you and your wonderful family and above all, to your mother and to Gianfranco, for your dear grandfather definitely knew it also: Ithaka BY C. P. CAVAFY (Constantinos Petrou Cavafis, born in Alexandria Egypt 29 April 1863 and passed away in Alexandria Egypt 29 April 1933) TRANSLATED BY EDMUND KEELEY As you set out for Ithaka hope your road is a long one, full of adventure, full of discovery. Laistrygonians, Cyclops, angry Poseidon-don’t be afraid of them: you’ll never find things like that on your way as long as you keep your thoughts raised high, as long as a rare excitement stirs your spirit and your body. Laistrygonians, Cyclops, wild Poseidon-you won’t encounter them unless you bring them along inside your soul, unless your soul sets them up in front of you. Hope your road is a long one. May there be many summer mornings when, with what pleasure, what joy, you enter harbors you’re seeing for the first time; may you stop at Phoenician trading stations to buy fine things, mother of pearl and coral, amber and ebony, sensual perfume of every kind- as many sensual perfumes as you can; and may you visit many Egyptian cities to learn and go on learning from their scholars. Keep Ithaka always in your mind. Arriving there is what you’re destined for. But don’t hurry the journey at all. Better if it lasts for years, so you’re old by the time you reach the island, wealthy with all you’ve gained on the way, not expecting Ithaka to make you rich. Ithaka gave you the marvelous journey. Without her you wouldn't have set out. She has nothing left to give you now. And if you find her poor, Ithaka won’t have fooled you. Wise as you will have become, so full of experience, you’ll have understood by then what these Ithakas mean
@@KylieFlavell hope you make it back one day to stay in the house of your beloved Παπου. Was waiting for you to get there after following you all this time. It is your soul's eye that allows us to witness the beauty. The above is just the revered Cavafy's reinterpretation of the endless 'νοστος' of the Greek soul for his homeland, since the time of Odysseus himself. It's even more beautiful in the Greek (truly poetic), but I wanted your followers to understand the words. Thank you for your response Kylie μου.
Thank you so much dear Kylie for taking us along. It must have been challenging for you to film this while being so exhausted and on a well-deserved holiday! I'm so sorry to hear that Gianfranco is still experiencing trouble sleeping--they often say that most health troubles are miraculously solved once the child reaches the age of two. Wishing you more calm nights soon and a wonderful weekend ahead. Greetings from Belgium xxx
❤❤❤wonderful Greek holiday you all had indeed is your baby having more teeth coming in the back ones? I pray his sleep settles better each day the filming of your holiday and the cakes and coffee wonderful lovely to see your family helping indeed supporting you the word family really is an endless word yet you have that genuine family around you blessing to you all
So beautiful Kylie. The food looks amazing! Many years ago I had a friend with eight dogs who howled all night. We made a tape of mantra music from the kundalini tradition I teach and she played it on repeat all night. It calmed the animals and she could finally sleep. I think any sacred mantras that please you would work. There's plenty out there set to different kinds of music. It's important to use mantras because that's what affects the brain. Maybe worth a shot. Greece looks gorgeous. I want to visit now! ❤
I come from a Greek background (my Father was born in Greece), and I'm married to a Spaniard. I take great pride in my Greek heritage, while also cherishing the richness of Spanish culture. Living in a blend of both worlds is a truly remarkable experience
Watching from Kentucky, U.S. Haven't been to Greece but have been to Cyprus back in 1984 when I was 17. I am currently watching a NETFLIX series called "Maestro in Blue" set in the islands of Paxos and Antipaxos near Corfu. It has an all Greek cast and is dubbed in English. Highly recommend it!
Kithira is one of the most beautiful islands in Greece! I hope you enjoyed your holidays and i hope you discover one by one all these beautiful treasures of the aegean and ionian sea! Have fun always! (I am Greek and my husband is Italian so every year we discover together the islands of my home country)
Kids at that age are so much fun. Tiring for sure but fun. One of my favorite memories with our 4 kids was one morning in Estonia at 2 am in the summer with the sun just over the horizon walking my daughter Leah down the beach to make her feel better and not waking the rest of the family. Memories like this, even staying up all night are ones I will forever treasure.
I could absolutely smell the sea, taste the moussaka, and feel the sun through your video, Kylie! Greece has a certain parched and angular austerity to it that so contrasts with the lush curvaceousness of Italy. Having traveled in both countries, I prefer Italy, yet I can see how the majesty of the Greek mountain rocks plunging to the sapphire sea gave rise to the feeling that the gods dwell there.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful video of your holiday in Greece.I am first generation Canadian my parents are both greek and they took me there when I was 3 I am now 66 and so very much enjoyed coming along with you and your family.I loved the greek music you shared. Thank you so much 🥰
Kylie Καλώς ορίσατε. Χάρηκα τόσο πολύ που είδα την όμορφη οικογένεια σας στην υπέροχη Ελλάδα μας. Δεν το ξέρεις Κylie αλλά είσαι φίλη μου εδώ και πολλή καιρό και χαίρομαι πολύ κάθε φορά που σας βλέπω. Να είστε όλοι σας πάντα καλά.
This is truly exceptional Kylie. The way you can immerse yourself in local culture and settings, and convey this to an audience, is amazing. This is so well done, photographed and presented. I do miss your discussions with local people but maybe you can resume those again in the future. Thank you so much - this is tonic for the soul.
Thank you! Yes, there were so many characters I would have loved to have interviewed but I didn't want to encroach too much on the family's holiday with my work.
Greece is a magical place. I visited Paros & Skiathos and fell in love with the people, food and hospitality. Your holiday looked relaxing and so good to have family support with Gianfranco. Looks like he is teething. Blessings.❤
Me in age 72…..thank you for this beautiful video…..years ago when I I was 34 I stayed with my daughter 4 years old the. every summer in SERIFOS….with Maria and Manoli….on Psili Amos beach near Livadi ….. so pure,threes planted by Manoli on the beach, their own waterwell ,no electricity, oil lamps, making their own cheese,chickens,gouts, catching their fish…..Paradisos….. again thank you for looking in your family Greek life….Kalinichta💫🙏
I yearn for beautiful Greece. I could smell and taste everything, layered with the scenery, the laughter, and the bouzouki music. My heart is full. Thank you for sharing this beautiful time with your loved ones. ❤❤
when i saw this i was very excited. you in greece! lived there in greece for a year! WAS AMAZING the people. the sites, the food everything!!! so thank you for sharing this
Alles ist perfekt! Musik! Das Gefühl im Moment dabei zu sein! Erinnerungen von den griechischen Urlaubern sind da! Respekt, dass Sie so ehrlich mit uns über die schwere Momente zu sprechen. Super Reklame für wunderschöne Griechenland❤❤❤❤❤❤
What a beautiful video !!! Being a Greek Cypriot , I just love Greece , Greek people are so friendly , Greek food is fantastic along with ouzo or cold beer, the Greek music is pure magic ,everything is so beautiful in Greece , forgot to mention the Greek islands !!! I am a fan of your channel , would love to visit Tuscany , keep doing what you ,so perfectly, do !!! Greetings from Cyprus !!!
I was wondering where one vacations when one lives in paradise🤭. How wonderful to have the whole family together for this adventure. Ohh, I can hear Gian Franco call Mamma, and Nonno, and Babbo, how precious ❤! Don't let that Uso get to your heads 😂. There's nothing like a good baby belly laugh. I'm glad that you can have some precious, calm time with your baby, after being exhausted all night. He's such a good little helper.
This will surely go down as one of my absolute favorite Kylie Flavell vlogs! Exceptional cinematography, content, just an amazing feast! Watching how you live in Italy along with this trip cements for me the overwhelming desire to live in places where one is so close to nature which is so nurturing to the soul. Thank you for bringing your beautiful views to our world Kylie!
My dear Kylie.... you and your little family are just about perfect, as they say. Please, please don't be upset by what I'm going to say. Your baby needs to "self-soothe".. you do that by going to lay him down again..NO VOICE.. QUIETLY, UNTIL HE LEARNS TO SLEEP! You're such a great MUMMIE, but somehow you can't let him cry. If you can't, ask your parents/friend to take him for 3 - 7 nights...you will be surprised by the outcome. YOU deserve better my dear, and don't let all those well meaning parenting books take you captive! Again, I think you're "the cat's meow", as they say. This comes from a mother of 5, including twins...I learned this the hard way. Hugs
I miss Greece, been there many times but now it's been too long. After watching your beautiful video I can just "feel" everything again. The crystal clear water, the warm air, the gentle breeze, the food - it's all just amazing. Thank you. 🧡
Beautiful, love Greece we have spent a lot of time over the years in Greece and the Islands. We have some dear friends in Crete, retired from USA… GOOD LIFE🌴🇺🇸🎉❤️🌹🇬🇷
Ella re, us Aussies, we all come from somewhere. I loved this episode, made me a little emotional. You’re proud of your grandparents and your heritage. I’m currently in Sicily, planning our next adventures. Please keep on sharing your stories with us, Grazie, Robert
Really beautiful filming Kylie that allowed the viewer to truly sense the energy of the place...no easy feat to achieve this. With the loving bonds of your family and GF's laugh all being offered forth it made for delightful viewing. Thank you. 🙏🏻
My husband is Greek,we lived there for 16 years and had to leave. It's good only for tourists. I miss Greece, but the government does nothing to keep their best in their own country.😢😢😢 I am glad you enjoyed your vacation. There's nothing like it. Σε αγαπώ, Ελλάδα και μου λείπεις..
@@katerinakaterinaki9143 A few of us are quite aware of the hard realities of making a living as a Greek in Greece . The situation has been so difficult since 2008. Makes me so sad and the random illegal immigration and golden visa situation are so hypocritical.
In the last few years my heart has been leading me to this island, to these places. Thank you, Kylie, for getting me excited again. Το αίμα νερό δεν γίνεται.❤
Loved this video...could look at the water forever and the food and love the music. Disconnecting wifi at night might help with baby's sleep and grounding during the day without shoes. Blessings from Canada.
Greece and Italy are my two most desired destinations to visit! So beautiful! I grew up in Southern California and now I’m in Texas and I miss the climate and the ocean a lot!
Firstly, the cuteness of your son! I am South african/ Dutch and my husband is Greek from the islands and his Mother grew up in Australia. For now we are in The Netherlands but want to move to Greece when we have children.
Merci, quel courage de parvenir à réaliser un si beau vidéo malgré les nuits agitées de votre jeune enfant. Beaucoup de poésie tout au long des prises de vue toutes plus belles les unes que les autres ❤
Hallo Kylie, I'm from Greece and I was glad to see that wonderful video from our country! I hope you had a good trip and visit again Greece may in another island! Many kisses from Athens! ☺️😘😘❤️
Thank you Kylie for the vicerious holiday we shared with you. Your photography is achingly beautiful, and your sweet family, and all that wonderful food and sunshine! And I had no idea about your grandfather hailing from there. Was delighted to hear that story.
One look at the title and I knew this would be so beautiful! I have the desperate need to make spanakopita and a big greek salad ASAP. In the Southern Hemisphere (New Zealand) winter right now and dreaming of the sun and warmth of Greece. Thank you for your amazing effort in documenting this beautiful trip! It's a true delight to come along for the trip with you and your family. 💙🤍🌅
❤thoroughly enjoyed the Greek music applied to this video. Thanks for sharing your family Greece travelogue ❤ Also Gianfranco with his aunty, so gorgeously special ❤
Such a beautifully stunning video !..My heart lies in Corfu,unfortunetly i cannot travel any longer,but this has taken me back to Greece.The smells,the music,the atmosphere,Greece is unique...My heart is saddened that i will never see it again.Thank you Kylie.And,one day soon your beautiful boy will sleep through the night,ive been there(albeit many years ago) and one night a miracle happened,i have never been so grateful !..That day/ night will come for you...❤.xx
Absolutely beautiful Kylie- you captured the spirit of Greece and you chose the perfect music! 💙 Also, Gianfranco doing Downward Dog with his auntie made me laugh out loud. 😂🥰💕
my sister went from aus to maldives, singapore and dubai with her 6 month old and luckily my niece slept fairly well. hopefully he takes a better turn and sleeps well soon!
Dear Kylie and family thank you so much for this lovely video! Our beloved island seems even nicer through your eyes, music, Gianfranco's laughter! All the best to each one! Thanks again for all your videos, most thankful for this greek omorfia! A greek fan ❤😊
This made me SO emotional. All the blue in the sea. All the love and gorgeous details unfolding in your life, in the vid! I've missed it. I'm so happy to pop in and catch up on a slice. All the continued light. All my love gioia xx ti voglio bene!
I HATE flying. So my holiday doesn't start until I land in Greece and our bus driver is playing the local station. Hearing it makes me soooo happy ❤❤ can't wait for August to go back 🎉
I knew I was mostly Italian but after a DNA test I found out that I am 15% Greek. I have been to Italy and now I want to visit Greece! This was absolutely beautiful.
Marybell - you simply must go. Don't put it off. You will never regret it. But you have to get a grip of your mindset. Be prepared. Greece belongs to the Greeks. Of course. But they simply have no idea how to run a country. Be prepared to gasp at the rape of beautiful villages (especially on the coasts of the islands); derelict buildings; lack of planned and financed opportunities for the people. Watch this video again - when Kylie shows you where grandfather lived, just focus on the houses & cottages. What do you see? Collapsed rooves, empty shells, a derelict and lost community. But go! Go! Experience the food, and the music (all from Turkey, actually), the pure clean seas, the sun, the blue skies . . . and the attitude of the people - just put it off 'till tomorrow. Or the next day. Please do it. Try Corfu as a more 'civilised' starter to your adventure - because you will go back, and back and . . . . Michael xx
@@michaelpenyard7129 Michael, the music is not from Turkey. You can go down history lane and study the history of music. It's right here on UA-cam. The Greeks didn't end in antiquity, we still exist. There is a distinct difference between TURKIC music and throat singing and what you hear in this video and all Greek music. There was the Eastern Roman Orthodox Christian musical tradition which is still alive and kicking. That's where these musical notes and words are from. As for the state of the Greek people and their villages, all you have to do is watch Kylie's video post again. What's wrong with Greece is that we went through an economic austerity package imposed by others. One of many throughout the centuries pre and post WWI and WWII and all the wars imposed on us after, including the Balkan wars and the civil war. The Greek people you are referencing also include Kylie's grandfather and grandmother. They resemble my set of grandparents too and so many other Greek people's grandparents. So please, spare us the judgement. You should visit Greece again and realize the beauty of the Greek soul that still has the ability to live, and love and create even after centuries of being subjugated and trampled on from every direction.
@marybella4533 please forgive the name I have adopted in this profile. It is actually adopted out of frustration and also a symbol of humility. My heart always skips a beat with delight when the Italian people or any other individuals find they have Greek DNA. I thank God in his wonderful wisdom that we all still exist. Visit Greece. Go to the islands that are off the beaten track, to places like this in Kylie's video. Go the monestaries in Meteora and the ancient monuments in Vergina /Pella. Go to Crete but take at least two weeks to see all of it. Go to the Peloponnese, all over.
Kylie, Having spent my childhood in a small Australian country town, at that time they would have asked themselves why? Why did you leave your own country? Why did you chose Australia? Why our town? I remember being sent to buy homemade butter from 'new Australians' who had purchased some cows to support themselves, rather than the grocery store. So, so many stories like this, although my mum was special. It was simply, why are you here. When my little boy 18months-2 years was teething I placed a clean dummy under his pillow each night and explained it was there to help his teeth coming through. They understand so much more than we imagine. Many a morning it was someplace else. Tell him Mummy is very tired and needs more sleep and can he use his dummy. He was f a r too busy chattering during the day for a dummy. My philosophy was always "let us reason tother". He's intelligent.
Absolutely Beautiful!!! You have taken us on such an incredible journey in just 20min. A myriad of surging emotions come flooding in, we feel sadness for what we once had, as young adults, but no longer do. A yearning for a world that seems to have disappeared. The familiar, now distant. With the sound of this magical music you allowed us to experience the memories of our past and future all in the same breath. Thank you ❤ (PS who is the singer of this music?)
Brava Kylie, m'hai riportato alla mente le vacanze giovanili a Corfù e a Mykonos. Non ho mai fatto un bagno in un mare freddo come quello greco.... me lo ricordo come se fosse ieri.
You poor girl! Take every chance your family can give you to take some rest. Well done for being so resilient. Just remember that things will change - this won’t last forever.
What a divine vlog!! I felt as though I was in heaven and it was perfect. The sun, the flowers, the gorgeous food! Gianfranco's giggles and him doing yoga with your sister. I'm so glad your family was with you to enjoy and also help out when you were exhausted. Your family is absolutely amazing! I will be rewatching this one again and again, along with your last vlog in Tuscany spending time with family. I particularly enjoy these leisurely, sun-drenched times. And lastly, G's dimpled little knees! Just so sweet. 😍🥰❤️
A beautiful work of art. Would love to visit Greece now all because of you! Have been following you for years and so happy to see how far you've come in all walks of life. Hope your little son's sleeping routine will soon normalize x
My nephew cried every night from about 6 months to 2 years. A test showed he had a hernia, one small operation and he was back to being a terrific baby. He was in pain that is why he was crying. Check all options. Love your videos in every way.
Kylie , your baby is just the most beautiful little boy ! He is healthy, happy and adored .You are clearly wonderful parents ..this time will pass ❤ Your trip to Greece has given me such wanderlust! I am travelling to Portugal in a couple of months but im definitely booking a trip to Greece after that . Thank you, once again, for a beautifully filmed video. Best wishes from Qatar
You amaze me every single day. Sending you love and hopefully some deep rest in your future. My daughter is also going through a strange sleep regression, so it must just be due to where they are both at in their development. Dry nursing can be so painful, and I just want you to know that I see you and understand that this is a definitely hard for you in addition to helping him resettle from a completely restless night. You are incredible, and I am so happy you have loving family around you supporting and understanding these transitions. You are encouraging me to hold onto the light in the middle of these more challenging times.
The baby’s laughter. The color of the sea contrast to the sky. The heavenly Greek music. Food. Feta. The wine. OMG. I. Want to be there immediately. I adore. The color of his hair as he grows up. His laugh is delightful. And did I mention the quality of the drone shots. AMAZING. WELL DONE 🌼🌻💛🌻🌼🌼☮️✝️✝️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💛🌻🌼💛

What a beautiful response. I'm so glad it resonated with you. It's certainly a magical culture.
If you keep nursing him when he wakes up, he will wake just for that . He doesn’t need it for nutrition at this age , he doesn’t need anything at night ,it’s purely comfort , but you yourself need rest .
You need to let him cry through .
Go to him, reassure nothing is wrong , say nothing , leave the room , or go back to bed . Repeat , do that he realises it’s not worth the getting you up . Any reaction is a bonus so eventually he will realise .
I’m a mum of 7 , and a registered nurse .
Absolutely correct.
Excellent advice. I know from experience that it works.
American I’ m sure! Terrible advice. No other country in d world lets kids cry themselves to sleep nor jabbs them as much. SICK. poor your kids. Lets see when you get older alone and cry yourself to sleep if any of your kids will come visit or just let you cry till you fall asleep
Thanks for working so hard to give me some visual respite from an unusually cold Melb winter. I could smell the sea from here.
I strongly disagree with your advice. I am a mother of five. I am not a registered nurse.

Ithaka
BY C. P. CAVAFY (Constantinos Petrou Cavafis, born in Alexandria Egypt 29 April 1863 and passed away in Alexandria Egypt 29 April 1933)
TRANSLATED BY EDMUND KEELEY
As you set out for Ithaka
hope your road is a long one,
full of adventure, full of discovery.
Laistrygonians, Cyclops,
angry Poseidon-don’t be afraid of them:
you’ll never find things like that on your way
as long as you keep your thoughts raised high,
as long as a rare excitement
stirs your spirit and your body.
Laistrygonians, Cyclops,
wild Poseidon-you won’t encounter them
unless you bring them along inside your soul,
unless your soul sets them up in front of you.
Hope your road is a long one.
May there be many summer mornings when,
with what pleasure, what joy,
you enter harbors you’re seeing for the first time;
may you stop at Phoenician trading stations
to buy fine things,
mother of pearl and coral, amber and ebony,
sensual perfume of every kind-
as many sensual perfumes as you can;
and may you visit many Egyptian cities
to learn and go on learning from their scholars.
Keep Ithaka always in your mind.
Arriving there is what you’re destined for.
But don’t hurry the journey at all.
Better if it lasts for years,
so you’re old by the time you reach the island,
wealthy with all you’ve gained on the way,
not expecting Ithaka to make you rich.
Ithaka gave you the marvelous journey.
Without her you wouldn't have set out.
She has nothing left to give you now.
And if you find her poor, Ithaka won’t have fooled you.
Wise as you will have become, so full of experience,
you’ll have understood by then what these Ithakas mean
Wow. So beautiful. Thank you.

Yes the rustic charm is unique but the luxury hotels, golf courses and resorts do not support that.

Memories like this, even staying up all night are ones I will forever treasure.
I could absolutely smell the sea, taste the moussaka, and feel the sun through your video, Kylie! Greece has a certain parched and angular austerity to it that so contrasts with the lush curvaceousness of Italy. Having traveled in both countries, I prefer Italy, yet I can see how the majesty of the Greek mountain rocks plunging to the sapphire sea gave rise to the feeling that the gods dwell there.
I prefer Greece
Thank you for sharing this beautiful video of your holiday in Greece.I am first generation Canadian my parents are both greek and they took me there when I was 3 I am now 66 and so very much enjoyed coming along with you and your family.I loved the greek music you shared. Thank you so much 🥰
Кайли! Большое спасибо! Безумно красивое видео и музыка! Люблю- Грецию!!!!!! 🌺🌺🌺❤️🇬🇷❤🌺🌺🌺
Kylie Καλώς ορίσατε. Χάρηκα τόσο πολύ που είδα την όμορφη οικογένεια σας στην υπέροχη Ελλάδα μας. Δεν το ξέρεις Κylie αλλά είσαι φίλη μου εδώ και πολλή καιρό και χαίρομαι πολύ κάθε φορά που σας βλέπω. Να είστε όλοι σας πάντα καλά.
This is truly exceptional Kylie. The way you can immerse yourself in local culture and settings, and convey this to an audience, is amazing. This is so well done, photographed and presented. I do miss your discussions with local people but maybe you can resume those again in the future. Thank you so much - this is tonic for the soul.
Thank you! Yes, there were so many characters I would have loved to have interviewed but I didn't want to encroach too much on the family's holiday with my work.
Greece is a magical place. I visited Paros & Skiathos and fell in love with the people, food and hospitality. Your holiday looked relaxing and so good to have family support with Gianfranco. Looks like he is teething. Blessings.❤
Me in age 72…..thank you for this beautiful video…..years ago when I I was 34 I stayed with my daughter 4 years old the. every summer in SERIFOS….with Maria and Manoli….on Psili Amos beach near Livadi ….. so pure,threes planted by Manoli on the beach, their own waterwell ,no electricity, oil lamps, making their own cheese,chickens,gouts, catching their fish…..Paradisos….. again thank you for looking in your family Greek life….Kalinichta💫🙏
Bravo 👏🏻 what an amazing video! You show Greece so authentic as it truly is! With all of her natural beauty! Thank you! 🫠❤🇬🇷
If you’ve never been to Greece please go your eyes will thank you! Kylie at her best❤ .
I yearn for beautiful Greece. I could smell and taste everything, layered with the scenery, the laughter, and the bouzouki music. My heart is full. Thank you for sharing this beautiful time with your loved ones. ❤❤
when i saw this i was very excited. you in greece! lived there in greece for a year! WAS AMAZING the people. the sites, the food everything!!! so thank you for sharing this
Alles ist perfekt! Musik! Das Gefühl im Moment dabei zu sein! Erinnerungen von den griechischen Urlaubern sind da! Respekt, dass Sie so ehrlich mit uns über die schwere Momente zu sprechen. Super Reklame für wunderschöne Griechenland❤❤❤❤❤❤
Fantastic video. Greece is a beautiful country. The food looks delicious. Bravo, Kylie. Your cinematography is superb. ❤
What a beautiful video !!! Being a Greek Cypriot , I just love Greece , Greek people are so friendly , Greek food is fantastic along with ouzo or cold beer, the Greek music is pure magic ,everything is so beautiful in Greece , forgot to mention the Greek islands !!! I am a fan of your channel , would love to visit Tuscany , keep doing what you ,so perfectly, do !!! Greetings from Cyprus !!!
I was wondering where one vacations when one lives in paradise🤭.
How wonderful to have the whole family together for this adventure.
Ohh, I can hear Gian Franco call Mamma, and Nonno, and Babbo, how precious ❤!
Don't let that Uso get to your heads 😂.
There's nothing like a good baby belly laugh. I'm glad that you can have some precious, calm time with your baby, after being exhausted all night.
He's such a good little helper.
This will surely go down as one of my absolute favorite Kylie Flavell vlogs! Exceptional cinematography, content, just an amazing feast! Watching how you live in Italy along with this trip cements for me the overwhelming desire to live in places where one is so close to nature which is so nurturing to the soul. Thank you for bringing your beautiful views to our world Kylie!
Oh Bless you Heart ! You’re going thru Motherhood. We’ve all been there -
MASTERPIECE❤❤ FANTASTIC......Thank you, sweet Kylie I am from Greece you touch my feelings. God bless you and your lovely family.
My dear Kylie.... you and your little family are just about perfect, as they say. Please, please don't be upset by what I'm going to say. Your baby needs to "self-soothe".. you do that by going to lay him down again..NO VOICE.. QUIETLY, UNTIL HE LEARNS TO SLEEP! You're such a great MUMMIE, but somehow you can't let him cry. If you can't, ask your parents/friend to take him for 3 - 7 nights...you will be surprised by the outcome. YOU deserve better my dear, and don't let all those well meaning parenting books take you captive! Again, I think you're
"the cat's meow", as they say. This comes from a mother of 5, including twins...I learned this the hard way. Hugs
Nicely said mamma
I miss Greece, been there many times but now it's been too long. After watching your beautiful video I can just "feel" everything again. The crystal clear water, the warm air, the gentle breeze, the food - it's all just amazing. Thank you. 🧡
Been to several islands on Greece 🇬🇷 love it and so beautiful and romantic has the best food next to Italy 🇮🇹 Your Dad is amazing!❤
I prefer it’s food
Beautiful, love Greece we have spent a lot of time over the years in Greece and the Islands. We have some dear friends in Crete, retired from USA… GOOD LIFE🌴🇺🇸🎉❤️🌹🇬🇷
Beautiful,chill holiday with family.Beautiful,turquoise water,beautiful,fresh food, charming villa.Ah! Gianfranco is really growing fast now.Cutie❤
Ella re, us Aussies, we all come from somewhere. I loved this episode, made me a little emotional. You’re proud of your grandparents and your heritage. I’m currently in Sicily, planning our next adventures. Please keep on sharing your stories with us,
Grazie, Robert
Kylie, you made me live Greece again ! Blessed soil and sea with wonderful sunsets! Thanks a ton! ❤
So happy you liked it. 😘😘
Η πανέμορφη Ελλαδιτσα μας !!!! Thank you for sharing a most beautiful video! Greetings from Australia!!!!
This was fantastic. We all appreciate you taking us along and especially while not sleeping much at all. Much peace to you all.
What a wonderful tribute to the magic of Greece !
Beautiful holiday, Beautiful place, Beautiful family ❤.
Really beautiful filming Kylie that allowed the viewer to truly sense the energy of the place...no easy feat to achieve this. With the loving bonds of your family and GF's laugh all being offered forth it made for delightful viewing. Thank you. 🙏🏻
My husband is Greek,we lived there for 16 years and had to leave. It's good only for tourists. I miss Greece, but the government does nothing to keep their best in their own country.😢😢😢 I am glad you enjoyed your vacation. There's nothing like it. Σε αγαπώ, Ελλάδα και μου λείπεις..
At least somebody who feels us Greeks
@@katerinakaterinaki9143 A few of us are quite aware of the hard realities of making a living as a Greek in Greece . The situation has been so difficult since 2008. Makes me so sad and the random illegal immigration and golden visa situation are so hypocritical.
In the last few years my heart has been leading me to this island, to these places. Thank you, Kylie, for getting me excited again. Το αίμα νερό δεν γίνεται.❤
Loved this video...could look at the water forever and the food and love the music. Disconnecting wifi at night might help with baby's sleep and grounding during the day without shoes. Blessings from Canada.
Dear Kylie, every summer I was in Greece. So, you are really showing unreal scenes.
Looked totally real to me! xx
Greece and Italy are my two most desired destinations to visit! So beautiful! I grew up in Southern California and now I’m in Texas and I miss the climate and the ocean a lot!
Firstly, the cuteness of your son! I am South african/ Dutch and my husband is Greek from the islands and his Mother grew up in Australia. For now we are in The Netherlands but want to move to Greece when we have children.
Amazing😳😳😳😳😳
Beautiful! The scenery, water, and food-wow! You must feel so refreshed. Thank you for the dose of your reality.
Beautiful video! I loved hearing the story of your grandpas life! Thanks for sharing!
Greece is wonderful
Beautiful video. Thank you for taking everybody on your journey. I leave for Athens in about a month only for a week, but I can’t wait.
Merci, quel courage de parvenir à réaliser un si beau vidéo malgré les nuits agitées de votre jeune enfant. Beaucoup de poésie tout au long des prises de vue toutes plus belles les unes que les autres ❤
Oh wow , what a beautiful place ! Far from the madness of tourists! How wonderful for you all . Thank you for sharing with us .
Lesvos?
What a beautiful family vacation. Greece indeed is an awesome country. Thanks for sharing it.
Hallo Kylie, I'm from Greece and I was glad to see that wonderful video from our country! I hope you had a good trip and visit again Greece may in another island! Many kisses from Athens! ☺️😘😘❤️
What a lovely spot! Not sure if you have told us where it is. please share. ❤
This island is Kythira.
Love everything about Greece.. my first holiday 44 yrs ago and what a holiday ...totally love this vlog 🙂
Thank you Kylie for the vicerious holiday we shared with you. Your photography is achingly beautiful, and your sweet family, and all that wonderful food and sunshine! And I had no idea about your grandfather hailing from there. Was delighted to hear that story.
Video ist sehr schön. Was ist das für Musik? Gefällt mir sehr! Greece feeling pure!!! ❤
How I smiled . . . thank you
As a long time follower, it’s so great to see your family growing and thriving! Warms my heart…
Thank you dear Kylie for this amazing video! Love from Cyprus❤️
One look at the title and I knew this would be so beautiful! I have the desperate need to make spanakopita and a big greek salad ASAP. In the Southern Hemisphere (New Zealand) winter right now and dreaming of the sun and warmth of Greece. Thank you for your amazing effort in documenting this beautiful trip! It's a true delight to come along for the trip with you and your family. 💙🤍🌅
❤thoroughly enjoyed the Greek music applied to this video. Thanks for sharing your family Greece travelogue ❤
Also Gianfranco with his aunty, so gorgeously special ❤
Oh the music! ❤
Such a beautifully stunning video !..My heart lies in Corfu,unfortunetly i cannot travel any longer,but this has taken me back to Greece.The smells,the music,the atmosphere,Greece is unique...My heart is saddened that i will never see it again.Thank you Kylie.And,one day soon your beautiful boy will sleep through the night,ive been there(albeit many years ago) and one night a miracle happened,i have never been so grateful !..That day/ night will come for you...❤.xx
I love how you show us the richness of your vacation. The variety and food and the way you can tell you’re having a real great time. ❤❤❤
What a wonderful video! Greece is so beautiful! Thanks for sharing your family vacation. Janice from Arkansas USA
Absolutely beautiful Kylie- you captured the spirit of Greece and you chose the perfect music! 💙
Also, Gianfranco doing Downward Dog with his auntie made me laugh out loud. 😂🥰💕
What a beautiful life you have.
Your grandparents story and the tastes of Greece were my favorite part. Your films are always a joy to watch!
So Stunning. The water is so inviting.
my sister went from aus to maldives, singapore and dubai with her 6 month old and luckily my niece slept fairly well. hopefully he takes a better turn and sleeps well soon!
Dear Kylie and family thank you so much for this lovely video! Our beloved island seems even nicer through your eyes, music, Gianfranco's laughter!
All the best to each one!
Thanks again for all your videos, most thankful for this greek omorfia! A greek fan ❤😊
I am so curious, what is the name of this beautiful island? ✨️
Kithira
This made me SO emotional. All the blue in the sea. All the love and gorgeous details unfolding in your life, in the vid! I've missed it. I'm so happy to pop in and catch up on a slice. All the continued light. All my love gioia xx ti voglio bene!
A dream holiday such a beautiful place especially when your with the people you love ❤️
Indeed! We’re super lucky.
I HATE flying. So my holiday doesn't start until I land in Greece and our bus driver is playing the local station. Hearing it makes me soooo happy ❤❤ can't wait for August to go back 🎉
I knew I was mostly Italian but after a DNA test I found out that I am 15% Greek. I have been to Italy and now I want to visit Greece! This was absolutely beautiful.
Marybell - you simply must go. Don't put it off. You will never regret it. But you have to get a grip of your mindset. Be prepared. Greece belongs to the Greeks. Of course. But they simply have no idea how to run a country. Be prepared to gasp at the rape of beautiful villages (especially on the coasts of the islands); derelict buildings; lack of planned and financed opportunities for the people. Watch this video again - when Kylie shows you where grandfather lived, just focus on the houses & cottages. What do you see? Collapsed rooves, empty shells, a derelict and lost community. But go! Go! Experience the food, and the music (all from Turkey, actually), the pure clean seas, the sun, the blue skies . . . and the attitude of the people - just put it off 'till tomorrow. Or the next day. Please do it. Try Corfu as a more 'civilised' starter to your adventure - because you will go back, and back and . . . . Michael xx
@@michaelpenyard7129 Michael, the music is not from Turkey. You can go down history lane and study the history of music. It's right here on UA-cam. The Greeks didn't end in antiquity, we still exist. There is a distinct difference between TURKIC music and throat singing and what you hear in this video and all Greek music. There was the Eastern Roman Orthodox Christian musical tradition which is still alive and kicking. That's where these musical notes and words are from. As for the state of the Greek people and their villages, all you have to do is watch Kylie's video post again. What's wrong with Greece is that we went through an economic austerity package imposed by others. One of many throughout the centuries pre and post WWI and WWII and all the wars imposed on us after, including the Balkan wars and the civil war. The Greek people you are referencing also include Kylie's grandfather and grandmother. They resemble my set of grandparents too and so many other Greek people's grandparents. So please, spare us the judgement. You should visit Greece again and realize the beauty of the Greek soul that still has the ability to live, and love and create even after centuries of being subjugated and trampled on from every direction.
@marybella4533 please forgive the name I have adopted in this profile. It is actually adopted out of frustration and also a symbol of humility. My heart always skips a beat with delight when the Italian people or any other individuals find they have Greek DNA. I thank God in his wonderful wisdom that we all still exist. Visit Greece. Go to the islands that are off the beaten track, to places like this in Kylie's video. Go the monestaries in Meteora and the ancient monuments in Vergina /Pella. Go to Crete but take at least two weeks to see all of it. Go to the Peloponnese, all over.
@@miastupid7911 I have always wanted to visit Crete! The people, food and whole country of Greece looks amazing!
@@marybell4533 it is. Promise. So is Kythera that Kylie features in this video.
Fabulous scenery, music and food! Thank you for sharing your vacation with me 🌞
What a fascinating man, your Grandfather!
Gianfranco couldn't be more adorable, I know it is tough, but you will get through this!!!
Kylie, Having spent my childhood in a small Australian country town, at that time they would have asked themselves why? Why did you leave your own country? Why did you chose Australia? Why our town? I remember being sent to buy homemade butter from 'new Australians' who had purchased some cows to support themselves, rather than the grocery store. So, so many stories like this, although my mum was special. It was simply, why are you here.
When my little boy 18months-2 years was teething I placed a clean dummy under his pillow each night and explained it was there to help his teeth coming through. They understand so much more than we imagine. Many a morning it was someplace else. Tell him Mummy is very tired and needs more sleep and can he use his dummy. He was f a r too busy chattering during the day for a dummy. My philosophy was always "let us reason tother". He's intelligent.
Hi Kylie... Greece is beautiful... I am so glad that you made it to come.. The song in the beginning, I wonder who is the artist and the song?
Absolutely Beautiful!!! You have taken us on such an incredible journey in just 20min. A myriad of surging emotions come flooding in, we feel sadness for what we once had, as young adults, but no longer do. A yearning for a world that seems to have disappeared. The familiar, now distant. With the sound of this magical music you allowed us to experience the memories of our past and future all in the same breath. Thank you ❤ (PS who is the singer of this music?)
My mother loved Greece 🇬🇷
Brava Kylie, m'hai riportato alla mente le vacanze giovanili a Corfù e a Mykonos. Non ho mai fatto un bagno in un mare freddo come quello greco.... me lo ricordo come se fosse ieri.
Kylie, I just returned from my first visit to Tuscany and thought about you every day! Your videos are like a sweet balm to the soul 🥰
You poor girl! Take every chance your family can give you to take some rest. Well done for being so resilient. Just remember that things will change - this won’t last forever.
What a divine vlog!! I felt as though I was in heaven and it was perfect. The sun, the flowers, the gorgeous food! Gianfranco's giggles and him doing yoga with your sister. I'm so glad your family was with you to enjoy and also help out when you were exhausted. Your family is absolutely amazing! I will be rewatching this one again and again, along with your last vlog in Tuscany spending time with family. I particularly enjoy these leisurely, sun-drenched times. And lastly, G's dimpled little knees! Just so sweet. 😍🥰❤️
Thank you so much! This comment makes me really happy. 😊
A beautiful work of art. Would love to visit Greece now all because of you!
Have been following you for years and so happy to see how far you've come in all walks of life. Hope your little son's sleeping routine will soon normalize x
My nephew cried every night from about 6 months to 2 years. A test showed he had a hernia, one small operation and he was back to being a terrific baby. He was in pain that is why he was crying. Check all options. Love your videos in every way.
Kylie , your baby is just the most beautiful little boy ! He is healthy, happy and adored .You are clearly wonderful parents ..this time will pass ❤
Your trip to Greece has given me such wanderlust! I am travelling to Portugal in a couple of months but im definitely booking a trip to Greece after that . Thank you, once again, for a beautifully filmed video.
Best wishes from Qatar
You amaze me every single day. Sending you love and hopefully some deep rest in your future. My daughter is also going through a strange sleep regression, so it must just be due to where they are both at in their development. Dry nursing can be so painful, and I just want you to know that I see you and understand that this is a definitely hard for you in addition to helping him resettle from a completely restless night. You are incredible, and I am so happy you have loving family around you supporting and understanding these transitions. You are encouraging me to hold onto the light in the middle of these more challenging times.
