- Опубліковано 21 лип 2024
- In March 2022 we did a 8 days road-trip around the Peloponnese region in Greece. This peninsula may not be so famous like Athens or some of the Greek islands, but it's a really incredible destination too.
We have divided our trip in 4 episodes. In this second video, we will explore the ruins of Ancient Sparta, the Byzantine Unesco World Heritage of Mystras, and Monemvasia, one of the best preserved and most beautiful medieval towns in Greece.
Comment down below if you know other interesting places in Greece! We would love to explore more of this amazing country in the near future.

Thanks for watching our video! You perfectly explained why we loved the Peloponnese so much! Unfortunately we didn't try the "Tsipouro", so another reason to return in the future :-)

Wowww, excelente job!! What an unreal place 👍👍
Thank you so much for watching. 🙏🏽😊
nice video 😘😘😘😘👍Good for you
Thank you so much as always!!
I'm vibing Monemvasia so much (and not just because of the many cats), I would love to spend a quiet week in there.
It will be a perfect place to disconnect from the busy city life. We wish we could have stayed there longer. 😭 And their cats are super, duper cute!!!!
Hello, interesting, cool video, beautiful places, I watched it with pleasure, friendly like, run in for a visit, I will be very glad. Good luck to you and all the best🤗🤗😍😍😉😉
Thank you very much for watching and for your nice feedback! 😊 Kind regards!
My Parents were born there.. in a small village in the Tayetos mountains called “ANAVRITI”…. You go through Sparta( or SPARTI as it is known by the locals) and and pass through a small town called Agio Gianni and the road to ANAVRITI starts there… 🙏🏻…
Thank you for watching our video and for sharing your family history with us too! We absolutely loved the Peloponnese and hope to return in the future. We wished we had more time to explore the area around Sparta, the mountains were so beautiful over there. 😍🇬🇷💙
@@ReigneOrShine Next time you go, make sure you visit ANAVRITI, and visit the monastery (FANEROMENOI) there… the ride up the mountain to the village is something you won’t believe; Thank you for writing back… I’m so glad you enjoyed your time in Greece 🍷🍷….
Found this after searching "Monemvasia" in youtube and was the 3rd or 4th result. Watched this with my wife and it was such a great video! Lots of great drone shots and good pacing! Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much for your kind words. 🙏🏽 Your words gave us more confidence in creating travel videos. We’re happy to show in our best way possible the places that we’re visiting although no video clips or photos can justify the beauty of these places. Are you going to visit Monemvasia?
Reign, thanks for posting this. I plan to Greece next year and this help me a lot!
Hi William. Thanks so much for watching our video. You can also watch our other Peloponnese series. 😊 I’m going to upload our latest episode on Monday where I will show Methoni, Dimitsana, ancient Olympia and Corinth. 🥰
Beautiful video 😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much!!! 😘
Such beautiful photography and narration. You two are a match made in heaven. Greece is a beautiful country and you make it so accessible for those who cannot travel. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much for your comment Kimberly! We’re really happy that you appreciate our work so much. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽😊😊😊
I love you girl! Well done with the words and info and ofcoz the videos👏👏
thank you very much for your supportive words and for appreciating our work so much! You´re so kind 🙏🏽😊
Hey nice video! Keep up the great work, you've got a new subscriber :)
Thank you so much Oliver! Take care. ☺️
Incredible work once again my love!! You are always able to create an interesting video no matter where we go. It makes me miss our trip so much. Can’t wait for the 3rd episode 😁🎥💪🏻
Thank you for being annoying when you give me corrections mi amor. I wouldn’t be able to make a good content without your help.
@@ReigneOrShine don’t worry! I’ll never stop correcting things 😜🤣🎥💪🏻😘
Wow, wow, wow! What a beautiful place expressed so well through your excellent words and visuals. I can't wait to visit and have to now add Monemvasia to my bucket list. I can't fault your video only offer the highest praise. You have achieved the perfect balance between stills, moving over those stills, the right amount of good drone footage, internal shits, views, even close ups of the flowers, some personal shots, good narration, good choice of music. The right balance. Many thanks for sharing. Your hard work and time is much appreciated. In the words of the Zulu African language, "hamba kahle" (where the "hle" sound is pronounced "sh le".
Thanks a million for watching our video and for liking our work so much! We´re extremely happy that you appreciate all those small details that we try to add to our videos to make them as interesting as possible. We´re also glad that you mentioned about the right balance, that´s what we aim for, it´s not easy, but we love creating videos and reading beautiful comments like yours keep us motivated to continue improving and sharing more content. We hope you can visit Monemvasia soon, we wish we could have spent more time there, it´s one of the most beautiful towns that we have ever seen. The whole Peloponnese area deserve a long trip, if you have the time, you won´t regret it. We wish you all the best on your future trips. Thanks again 🙏🏽😊🎥💪🏽
Thank you for such a detailed reply Reigne. We have travelled to Greece often over the years, but mostly to the Cyclades, and once to Lesvos. But I never thought of the Peleponese! How foolish I have been. I will definitely get to the Peleponese soon soon. Thank you for opening my eyes to a new beautiful place to explore. 🙏
Hi Reigne - Loved this video in Monemvasia - awesome views and content. There´s an incredible view in 7:58 - I was wondering if you had the coordinates or could tell me how to get there. I also like photography 🙂 Thanks so much!
Hi Martin! Thank you very much for watching our video and for appreciating our work so much!
Somewhere over here should be the location that you are looking for:
36.68741831228945, 23.054346227042466
www.google.com/maps/place/36°41'14.7%22N+23°03'15.7%22E/@36.6874194,23.0537025,270m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m4!3m3!8m2!3d36.6874183!4d23.0543462?entry=ttu
Hope you can find it! There is a path but it was partially covered by plants, there is another higher viewpoint going up the stairs towards the upper part of the city, but before you start going up you should go left to find the view that you want. If you are going for sunset, try to go there with enough time to find the spot and stay safe! We wish you have beautiful light. All the best!
@@ReigneOrShine Wow, thanks a ton for getting back to me! You guys rock. The coordinates and map link are super helpful - exactly what I was looking for.
Really appreciate the extra tips about the hidden path and that other viewpoint. And thanks for the heads-up about getting there early for sunset.
Your videos are seriously inspiring. They make me want to get out there and capture some amazing shots myself.
Thanks again for being so helpful and for making such awesome content.
Cheers,
Martin
We love your videos! We are in Monevasia now.
Thank you so much for appreciating our work! Wow I miss Monemvasia so much. Enjoy your trip there, I’m sure you’re loving it! 😊
Por fin lo vi!! Vaya montañas detrás de Sparta! Y que nubes en todos los sitios! En qué mes habéis ido?
Muchas gracias por verlo Juan Carlos!
Te lo dije que te iba a gustar! :)
Pues esta vez en Marzo. Tuvimos este tipo de nubes de tormenta casi a diario, para la mayoría de turistas no será el clima ideal, pero para darle dramatismo a la fotografía y los vídeos fue fantástico! La última vez que estuvimos en Grecia fue a finales de Octubre y tuvimos nubes impresionantes casi a diario también. Además de que te evitas las muchedumbres y los precios del verano, jaja.
Un saludo!
Muchas gracias por ver nuestro vídeo! :)
Wonderful video - I'm heading to Kalamata for the TBex conference next May and you have me even more excited than I already was!!
Oh that’s wonderful!! I hope you enjoy the Peloponnese just like we did.
What a great video that was, I learned the town of Mystras is at the bottom of the site where I guess I could get a taxi back to Sparta after my day exploring and sketching Mystras.
I’ve seen a few videos of Monamvasia but yours makes me think I should spend a week there…
So much sketching to do.
Thanks so much… your photography is simply the best.
Thanks a million for all your kind comments and positive words!
Mystras and Sparta are very close to each other. I think you may even have public buses between both places, but a taxi will be available for sure.
Do you post your sketches online? I would love to see them! I like sketching too, but often I don't have much time to stop for long time and sketch, also considering that we have to get many videos, when we stop for longer time in places is at sunrise/sunset and light is not the best for me to see my notebook 😅 I take pictures in the places and sketch afterwards most of the time.
Monemvasia was my favourite place in this trip to the Peloponnese. You´re right and you could spend a whole week there enjoying the amazing architecture and views, it's really a unique town.
Looking forward to seeing your work in Greece if possible. 😊
Best regards.
@@ReigneOrShine hi Reigne, yes my art is very important to me. I studied art in Melbourne Australia for 4 years in the 1960’s and taught art and ceramics for 36 years in Secondary Colleges in the state of Victoria. I’ve had several exhibitions through the years too.
I sketch everyday usually and because I couldn’t travel during Covid I started sketching houses near where I live and I’ve sold over 100 of them.
I use Facebook and Messenger everyday so if you can find me on Facebook you can look back over my posts to see my sketches as I do them.
Try Gary Roberts and a photo of a younger me sitting on a red couch is the background and in the circle is one of my early house sketches.
Once you look back at my posts in September, I was in Cambodia and my sketches are there. Further back are my house sketches and my country trips during covid.
I’m not that good with technology so this is the best way to see what I do. I don’t know any other way to show you images.
It’s good to hear you like sketching too. It’s a wonderful pastime but does require time each day and you seem to be on the move so I understand it’s difficult for you to Sketch on the spot.
I’ve really enjoyed your videos, they are so professionally produced and informative
A beautiful video, thank you!
Thank you for appreciating our work. Are you from the region of Peloponnese?
@@ReigneOrShine no I'm just a tourist who loves Greece and tries to go to different areas each time. I'm interested in visiting the Mani region and your videos are both informative yet feel easy to watch.
@@HobGothlin oh thank you so much. Your words mean a lot to me. We try our best to create good contents. When are you planning to visit Mani Peninsula?
@@ReigneOrShine it will be 2024 hopefully as next year we are going to the island of Skiathos and then later in the year we are touring the Epirus region for the second time, which I would really recommend.
Monemvasia is my father's hometown. I remember climbing Agia Sophia every year. My father said you have to have legs like α "γαιδαρη" (donkey) to climb it!
😆😆😆 your father was right!
Thank you very much for watching and for commenting!
You were so lucky to be able to enjoy Monemvasia every year. We loved it and we hope to return in the future! 😊
Very beautiful and informative videos! We are planning to go there in March as well. In which hotel did you stay in Monemvasia?
thank you very much for watching our video! We stayed at Malvasia Traditional Hotel. We got the cheapest room for 65€ per night, but they have different levels. The hotel is very beautiful and the breakfast was really good too. We hope you have a wonderful trip! :-)
Amazing, may I ask how did u go there from Athens?
thank you very much for watching and for appreciating our video!
We rented a car in Athens Airport and drove around the Peloponnese for 8 days. :)
😍😍😍
Thanks so much for watching!
hi there- love your content and imagery! one logistical question. did you park outside of Monemvasia for your entire stay? if yes where did you park? thank you! Lulu
Hi! Thanks a million for your kind words. Yes, we parked our car just outside the town for the entire stay, cars are not allowed inside the walls. We drove across the bridge and there is only one road that brings you to the main gate of the walls of the town. Our advice is to drive until the gate and then on the way driving back park next to the road in the first spot you can see available. Hopefully you can park close to the gate as we did and you don´t have to walk for long! 😊
Soooo appreciate this info! I’ll be traveling with my 78 yr old mama who’s very active but still 78
Beautiful! So artistic! What kind of drone and camera you are using?
thank you very much for watching!
Drone: DJI Mavic Air 2.
Cameras: iPhone 12 plus Canon m5 in this video (currently upgraded to iPhone 13 and Canon R7).
Best regards!
what hotel in monemvasia did you stay at, and how did you get your luggage to and from the hotel from the roadside parking?
Thanks for watching our video! We stayed at Malvasia Traditional Hotel, and we had to carry our luggage to the hotel ourselves, we didn´t ask the hotel if they could help though. This hotel is one of the farthest from the parking, but there were other closer options we believe. There were some steps and it wasn´t the easiest thing to bring the luggage there. But after carrying our bags in very steep places like Positano or Santorini, we are kind of trained for this in our trips I suppose 😅 There are hotels also in the other side of the causeway in the mainland where you can park in front of them if that´s more convenient. Best regards.
What camera do you use for your video shots?
Currently using iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 plus Canon R7, DJI Action 4 and DJI Mavic Air 2.
But when we filmed this specific video where you are asking we were using iPhone 12, Canon M5 and DJI Mavic Air 2.
Thanks for watching!
What was the name of the hotel in Monemvasia?
Thanks for watching. The hotel name was Malvasia Traditional Hotel.
Which country is these???
Greece! Thanks for watching.
