- Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2008 | After enjoying Greece's charming old port town of Nafplio, we'll time-trip through the ruins of Olympia, take center stage at the remarkably preserved theater at Epidavros, and explore the ancient capital of Mycenae. Then we'll wander off the beaten path along the rustic, rough-and-tumble Mani Peninsula, relax in the idyllic beach town of Kardamyli, and marvel at Greece's Rock of Gibraltar: the fortress town of Monemvasia. #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #greece

GREECE IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY I HAVE SEEN; I HAVE VISITED IT FOUR TIMES.
PROUD GREEK FROM AUSTRALIA BORN OF PELOPONNESIAN GREEK PARENTS...WISH I COULD VISIT GREECE ESPECIALLY THE PELOPONNESE
Γειά αδερφέ καλό καλοκαίρι
I’m moving to a farm next to Epidavros soon. It’s so beautiful there 😁👍🏼
🌹
What about being Australian? Aren't you proud of that?
@@tank3323 This video is about Greece, not Australia, hence the focus. Don't be woke.
one of the most beautiful regions of europe
Greece and the islands of Greece with its rich history and culture has to be one of the most fascinating places on earth no doubt ..its simply beautiful,
Bonzeka you're create!!!! Many kisses from corfu Hellas
@Margaret Kpeh Amen
@Jordan & Jordan you are in every Greek video commenting negative stuff about Greece. I can’t imagine how miserable your life is. Jealous enough? cope
I love Everything Greek..I mean my name is Artemis/Apollo🤟😊
Qdèrrrt⁵uÿ⁶i7⁶⅚t6ÿ⁷ÿêhuhhh
Greece still lives in ancient times just like almost Countries in Europe,Love how they Preserve their beautiful towns and Villages as well as respecting and valuing their nature.!
@@MIHELISHAR So true. Athens was different.
They preserve it because they literally live of it, but fair enough!
Actually, as a Greek, i think that is a big lie. I mean, there is a lot of people (Greeks, and not only) which the do not respect our nature, and they throw their garbage in sea, street etc
I first went to Greece in 1981, and it was love at first sight.
The second best Greek of all times after Alexander the Great was born that year. Me! Don't say I'm not modest. As you see I placed Alexander first. hehe!
God bless Greece the beautiful country
By far and away one of the most accurate historical, religious and cultural narratives to accompany this truly beautiful video. Rick Steves deserves the highest praises.
My ancestry on my Mother's side is Greek. Both my Grandmother and Grandfather were born and raised in Sparta and Athens. They both came to America in the early 1900's. I am more Greek (50%) than English and love my Greek heritage! We celebrated many Greek traditions with my 12 Greek Aunts, Uncles and their families. Wonderful memories from times long gone... Thank you for this informative video:-).
Peloponnese, the part of the country where ancient Greek, venetian and Byzantine cultural influences coexist in a perfect way. Peloponnese is also home to one of the best ski resorts of Europe: Helmos
Greetings from Bulgaria . Greece is really beautiful .
Greetings from Algeria do You know algeria
It is
Thank you friend! Bulgaria is also nice I was there last summer 😀
Epidavros theatre is such a treasure. The place where so many thousands plays were presented, the place were drama, tragedy and comedy came to exist. The leaps made in ancient Greece are mind boggling.
My favorite 😍 country in the whole world!
GREECE IS SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL!! GREETINGS FROM BEAUTIFUL PRAGUE :)
I'm a greek and prague is one of my most favorite cities that I've ever visited. Its extraordinary,I felt like i was in a fairytale!
Prague is indeed beautiful and magical, I've been there twice. Love from Greece
@@DMp-xp6mj It's strange to me to imagine travelling to other countries. I'm nearly 50 years old and I've never been out of the states. My husband is from England. He told me that travelling to other countries, when you live in the UK or in Europe, is like to travelling to another state in the United States.
@@atlantic_love Distance wise probably, the USA is a massive country but in all other aspects not so much. see we don't speak the same language and our cultures are quite distinct from one another. Though when I as a Greek travel to Southern Europe I feel very much at home even if I can't understand the language.
I find all Rick Stevens videos not very beautiful but very educational They amazing and magical
Grecia , muy bella pais con larga historia .
What a beautiful place. A rich and vibrant history, forever imprinted on a breathtaking landscape. Greek natives must feel such a sense of pride!
Proud Peloponnesian Greek. 💪
A beautiful Peloponnesian
@@roldex213 Oh thank you.
Where abouts? my villa is is in a small village called chrani not far from kalamata
@@katerinapatiniotis5598 nice documentary, she doesn't have a reason to lie about the nationality. Peleponese (Morea) was populated by Albanians now days called Arvanite, that region gave so many Arvanite heroes on the independence war. Learn some history don't be mean!
namesurname86 Arvanites accounted for less than 10% of the population of the Peloponnese(certain villages in the north east) and they self identified as Greek. Perhaps some ultranationalist Albanians need to over their fanaticism and hatred towards other cultures.
I love Greece, and of course Greeks!
Joelle Cohen Thank you for loving us.
I love the Greeks.
Thank u we love u too
I traveled two weeks last summer driving around in all the cities mentioned in the film, Monnemvasia is absolutely my favorite, and the driving cute from Nafplio to Mommemvasia on the mountain with sea view most of the route is one of the most beautiful routes! People from Greece are just SO nice, will visit more of Greece for sure!
The white arctic fox in purple northern light thaks you for your nice words im really glad you enjoyed it
I love Greece and of corse Greeks beautiful people
Toured around for 2 weeks, Athens, Delphi, Olympia, epidaurus, Messina, Sparta, Mycenae, . All fantastic.
Fascinating history of our ancient culture of the Western world.
Indeed, it's yours, too. That's why us Greeks calling our land the cradle of Western Civilization. Not to tone our own name, but all Europeans we share the continent with.
Greece is on top of my list. Going there 2020
The beauty of Greece will shock you !
Me too!!! I am so happy
Sure, what about corona..?
Oops
You can still come, btw. We are the safest country to visit as far as covid goes
Greece is lovely wonderful, I have been there many times, Cyprus and Greece trips combines, 8 times. Efkaristo.
Thnk you too! :D
Wow isn't it bea
Cyprus is Greece as well!!!😉
Watching these videos about the Mediterranean countries is so relaxing
ΕΛΛΑΔΑ 🇬🇷..Αγαπημένη μας ,💙Πανέμορφη χώρα ! Το ταξίδι στην Πελοπόννησο ΘΑΥΜΑΣΙΟ ! Συγχαρητήρια 🌝💐💛
I love the countrysides more than beaches.
I'd visit Kalamata city beautiful area and Methoni/Koroni in Peloponnese. For some reason they never mention these areas but very beautiful areas. Greece has always been one of my favorite places to visit with my family as a kid and even now as an adult.
Τhank God ... for many decates this area is a secret . Still is ... :-)
The Peloponnese has it all! Beautiful nature, amazing cultural heritage and archaeological sites, great food and very friendly people (and fewer tourists, which is great!). Absolutely worth touring it :-)
666 steps
Remarkable beauty, greetings from USA.
I found this tonight in UA-cam. Thanks for all these.
The show is American...
Great history, tasty food, amazing people, breathtaking landscapes - Greece has it all!
I’m Greek and I thank all the people after viewing Peloponese for their tremendously excellent quotes thank you 😊
Fantastic. I am glad rick spent time to view a Greek church . His observation of the church culture was good
A beautiful country with a vast amount of significant history. I, even as a Romanophile have to defer to the glory of Hellas!!😮
Greece and the Islands are great artistic villages waterfront views. The original Olympic Games seen at first in Greece,An Interesting place lots of old church of view. ¿
I think that no visit to Peloponnese is complete without a visit to Mystras. So along with Olympia, Epidavros, Mycenae, Nafplion, Monemvasia, one has to visit Mystras also.
Yes, but Steves said he chose not because there are many ruins, not in good condition. When Mystras is preserved better with buildings that are in bad condition renovated it will be one of the best places and towns in the world. A place to film Game of Thrones. A true Byzantine city.
Also I would put Methoni and Koroni, and perhaps some of the villages of Arkadia such as Dimitsana or Karitaina. And the Diros cave one of the best in the world. And Pylos! And perhaps a little across to central Greece to Nafpaktos :) :) And the ancient Corinth and natural baths of Loutraki.
@@innosanto The palace of the last Byzantine emperor has been renovated and most of the churches also. Mystras is in a good contition now.
@@nicolaskottis5245 Mystras is a whole town. No buildings have been renovated except the churches and even the palace-complex renovation is not complete. But most important the residences of the town are not renovated.
@@innosanto I visited Mystras in 2017 and they told me that the despots palace was expected to be finished within a year. What a pity.
Beautiful Greece
Geweldig in beeld gebracht, 18 jaar geleden ongeveer 3 maanden gewoond in Kardamyli en vrijwel heel de Peloponnesos bezocht, brengt vele mooie herinneringen boven bij mij. Moet daar echt weer eens naar terug. Thanks Rick
In many cultures, a chamomile infusion is the mothers' old standby for tummy aches.
I love the interplay between cultures. Europe is so rich. We don't have stuff like this in America!
Because of occupation
Every country has its own charm!
@@SA-ix6nm .....what ?
Rick Steve manages to unearth all the best in a place and make its beauty, its history, its people, shine. This Peloponnesean tour is no exception. Εύγε!
My grandma grew up in a village in the mountains near Kardamyli. I'd really like to visit one day.
Do you know the name of the village?
Hello... Am born in Πελοπόννησο... Patra.... You did a great job ... Nicely done... 👍👍 ... Will forgive you for not showing Patra... Πελοποννήσου largest city [and Greece's 3rd] and also Sparta.... A.K.A. " this is Sparta..."
How wonderful is this? To be able to visit countries without leaving the house because of the the uncertain world we live in today.
I love how Rick manages to make these so comprehensive and yet not overwhelming with information. Great Job!!
What a view🙋‼️Soooooooo beautiful💞!Thanks for featuring Greece.It's like I was there too.Hope I can visit Greece 🙋
Beautiful country with ancient history.
I love cultures like this who love and celebrate food and life together.
Long live Greece
visited last year and loved it, now it's my favourite corner of Greece. Monevasia is astonishing
Been there. An awesome place to visit. Thanks for visiting places, I’ve been to.
A wonderful place of grapes and delicious people.
Greece is the best place I have ever been to. Despite their political issues, always wish I was born there! ❤
My beautiful country! 🇬🇷 🌞❤
Love Greece from Bangladesh
beautiful country
Pelloponese is the ground that the war of independence started, im very proud of my ancestors ❤️
Wow, wonderland
I love this video, my grandparents immigrated from the Pelopennese, this makes me want to visit it even more 💞
Come, we wait you
Pelopennes is in 19 century before was morea whas Populated by Albanian (Arvanits) the church greek they changed the name to pelopennese and created new language who is greece now!!!!
From which town did your grandparents come? Mine came from the area around Kyparissia. Hope you find a way to visit “the patrida”!
@@VV-wi6ir 😂with that profile makes it funny
@@fisnikkarameti6327how hard is it for you not saying things without thinking and reading?
Trully a great work of art.Rick is the best!
Byzantine Orthodox chantings are one of the most beautiful sounds in the world.
You should also do an episode about Epirus: Parga, Nikopolis, Dodoni, Preveza, Ioannina, Zagorohoria (Zagori Villages they are 46), Vikos Gorge( deepest in the world in proportion to its width), and also hop to an Ionian island, perhaps Lefkada (you can go by car), or Corfu.
Well done ancient Greece. That is one marvellous example of acoustic architecture at 10:16
Nice piece
Demetrius, the herb and olive guy. How wonderful to hear you have something you “love” to do. A blessing from God. Kalamata olives😍....a blessing too. May you be blessed with a wonderful new year.
Pretty country, worth for see
Stag drama
come and visit my friend
...the Peloponnese is much better choice than time consuming island hopping...just more to do..more and lest crowded beaches, underground river and cavern ("Styx"), famous ancient ruins, Byzantine & Venetian castles and churches, Corinth, Sparta, Epidaurus and Olympia ...if you have only a week or two for Greece... I highly recommend the Peloponnesos above all else...
Much love for greece from India.
WONDERFUL!!
Perfect..it's beautiful
The message of your speech gave me goosebumps...
One of my favorites of Rick's. Keep going off the beaten path!
Thank you for another knowledgeable tour of Greece. Each has been as enriching as being there !
Love you Rick. Such peace in your delivery. Always great work.
Thank you Rick. You have brought one more beautiful place into our lives.
I loved this video! I am going to Greece soon and found this very interesting!
I would love to visit Greece, I think it has amazing history to explore. Thank you for posting this Rick, some of us would never get to see these areas if it was not for you! Its official you are going to heaven lol.. love ya Rick
Dear Rick, THANK YOU for showing us our country and for the beautiful narrative and images! All your documentaries are precious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Greece is just so so underrated, compared to its European counterparts. It offers such wonderful historical sites and information of the past that it gives tourist a feeling that the country is a field trip for those interested to know more of its ancient history, culture, and military prowess.😊
It's his presentation that makes all this country look so beautiful and approachable.
vary proud i am from there-kalamata!!
Actually the Origins of your last name is in Handrinou village near Pylos city few kilometers out of Kalamata
@@georgekoul And? Their ancestors obviously moved to Kalamata once.
Hey Rick!
I love your videos and your trips! !! Thanks a lot!
I have a villa by kalamata but don't live there sadly so I watch this everytime I'm down and missing my villa 😢
You are such a fortunate soul.
one of the best, thanks
Rick, I've been watching the delightful videos you've been making of, practically, the entire world and I've never taken the time to say thank you. In all of them I have yet to find a cross word -- all are filled with kind words, including the one about my home country of Romania, which I left many, many years ago. I appreciate your good spirits, the sense of genuine joy your comments are permeated with. I am proud of sharing my adopted home with such distinguished people as you. La mulţi ani, sir.
Excellent job, Rick, as always.
I'm truly proud of seeing these beautiful places of the ancient Greece. I wish I had an opportunity to visit them
Thank you for a wonderful documentary. It was not only heartfelt but well researched. Thank you Mr Steves.
very nice presentation of the area!!
Beautiful. Looooove it
A great film. Thanks. I recently returned from
Iiving there for 8 years and can’t wait to return.
I been in Atkin Zatrika on the other side Greece with my partner for a week holiday. I loved the historical and the scenery and the water is so clear. I wish I could go back again and see more. Thanks Rick you did such a good job.
Cool.
My husband and I visited Greece and loved everything about it, but it does seem like everything one wants to do there involve hiking it up the side of a cliff. If we could do it though, in July, almost anyone can.
Omg!! 😍😍😍 Beyond beautiful! ❤️
Thanks for sharing... I feel like a virtual traveller with all your videos.
beautiful and historic. would love to visit
Thank you for your guide through Peloponnesis.
At 10:19 u your comments on understanding are a perfect part of a glorious tour. I remember being surprised by how small and unpretentious the fabled Lion Gate was. but how magnificent all the other aspects of Greek civilization were.
In pandemic lockdown, this tour gave us a brief freedom. Thank you.
Sehr schönes Video - danke, Rick Steves!
