My Family and I visited the island of Crete 3 yrs. ago and it was spectacular🥰. The people are friendly and free spirited. We felt at home 🥰. We are hoping to visit korfu this summer 😔😞.
I missed Rhode! The hostel i stayed was walking distance to the harbor and has the prettiest kitchen with cookbooks! The sunshine keep everyone in good mood 😊
I was lucky enough to visit Rhodes for 5 days, a detour from my 3 weeks all over Turkey trip. I took the 90min speed ferry from Fethiye, Turkey for Euro40. There are Medieval castles, not the Disney made fake castles. At 4.11 the floor she was walking on, it's actually rounded stones stack up compactly to make the streets and grounds all over old Rhodes Town. She has to be not comfortable wearing that gladiator thin sole sandals, because it will feels like walking bare foot. I was wearing tennis shoes and still felt the stones when I walked on the Streets of the Knights. I wish each episode spend more time on each island, there are so much more to see, e.g. Lindo beach, Seven Springs, Anthony Quinn Bay is situated on the east coast of Rhodes, about 4 km south of Faliraki. On the mountains, there are free roaming peacocks and a giant cross on the monastery grounds. With only 1 visit, I totally fell in love with this beautiful island, esp the close proximity to Turkey, so that it's possible to tour 2 beautiful countries during the same trip.
Wow she’s half Greek and she really said “Rhodes was ruled from the east by the Byzantine Empire in what today is Modern Turkey”?!?!?!?!?! First of all, the Byzantine Empire extended east and way west of Rhodes. The Byzantine Empire was Greek for the most part and existed for 1000 years before the Turks arrived in the area and established the OTTOMAN empire. Maybe it is just badly phrased but it makes it seem like the Byzantine Empire is part of Turkey’s heritage while it is part of Greece’s heritage.
Actually, I think you have misunderstood that. The Byzantine empire did indeed encapsulate a big chunk of what is now Turkey, as well as Greece and west of Greece. Here on Rhodes we have many relics and ruins from the Byzantine era.
@@stewartmackay I didn’t misunderstand. I myself said the empire expanded west and east of Rhodes. However, it’s the way she explains it that can be very misleading to people unaware of the history in this region. Saying Rhodes was ruled by an empire in what is nowadays modern Turkey (only?!?!?!), without adding further context, makes it seem as if Rhodes, let alone the Byzantine Empire, is part of the Turkish heritage and not the Greek.
The Byzantine empire is part of modern Turkey's heritage as well. Aghia Sophia still dominates the skyline of Istanbul, and served as a model for Ottoman mosques throughout the empire. Actually, throughout centuries many greek speaking christians converted to Islam and became turks. Like pagan greeks who quit the olympic gods to become christians, people change their religion and language. This is quite normal.
@@ergungeyikdagi3392 Oh yes I don’t disagree with that. But as Rhodes is an island in Greece, and as Greece retains the Byzantine Orthodox faith and everything associated with it mostly unchanged, the phrasing here seems unfortunate.
@@ergungeyikdagi3392No, you are a FOREIGN PEOPLE to the region, you CANNOT claim the Hellenic Heritage, you have your own turkic mongolian & arab heritage, stop being a little thief! 👍🏻
That is because it is her tv show , a six part series about her travels across a few Greek islands , exploring her heritage and finding her ancestral home with her Mother .
@@jamesallen2487 I felt the same way. I lived in Rhodes, Old Town as a matter of fact, until a few months before Covid. While there are plenty of abandoned old houses there, the Old Town is anything but inhabited. BS!
8:56 the look on one of the sisters faces "yea, i don't know about this anglo-greek woman", and why was she smelling the clothes on a random strangers...u know what ...whatever....great show, beautiful island.
Oldest inhabited Medieval town ..Rhodes town is comprised of the New Town and the Old Town , the old town is a living museum, still working still inhabited .
@spudzilla Then what is meant by medieval? The oldest city founded in the middle ages? What's the point? Plenty of cities are much older and still inhabited.
I find your documentary titles disturbing and out of place ... Greece never had a Medieval era .. Rhodes was part of Eastern Roman Empire which never had dark ages
The Greek empire of Byzantium was the longest lasting medieval kingdom in the world spanning 1150 years from 300AD till 1453 AD and a bit beyond that in some areas in mainland Greece. The title is not disturbing at all. And what has the Dark ages to do with anything. Greece had a Bronze age > Classical period > Byzantine (medieval) period > up till modern era
She is nearly every shot because it is her tv show , a six part series travelling across the Greek islands including finding her ancestral home with her Mother ..It's not a tourist vlog .
The Italians are to thank for a lot of the restorations on Rhodes as they occupied Rhodes and the other Dodecanese islands from the early twentieth century until World War Two.Italy took control as a result of a war with the Ottoman Empire.The chances are that they would still be Turkish if it wasn't for this war.Italy had to give them to Greece because Italy lost World War Two otherwise they would still be Turkish as Turkey was neutral in World War Two.
Revelation 1:13-15 KJV And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.
I love this island and stayed there for a week years ago. It's absolutely heaven on earth. the light, the warmth, it's inspirational.
Meanwhile the villagers are wondering why this weird lady is walking around smelling their laundry
she avoided underwear
I think smelling shampoo from the laundry made her high, after that she was trying to speak Greek to non Greek tourists
I'm glad it wasn't just me that found that rather strange. Imagine going outside and some random is sniffing your laundry!
@@brianp9483 Ha Ha! I wonder what the hell I would say if that happened!
Greek islands are really beautiful and safe! Best destination for your summer vacations!!

@@Icysabel thank you for your kind words!! You are always welcome in Greece and im sure you will enjoy your visit to the beautiful island of Korfu!
Been visiting Symi Island for 3 summers now. Underrated beauty! People are warm and friendly

the greek islands are truly phenomenal
I missed Rhode! The hostel i stayed was walking distance to the harbor and has the prettiest kitchen with cookbooks! The sunshine keep everyone in good mood 😊
I lived in on Rhodes as a child and it was a great place to be a child.
Going to work as hard as i can and will visit these places in my life
where are yopu from?
Thanks for taking me back to Greece .
She's such a fun tour guide. I loved the smelling of the laundry LOL! Laa laaa laaa...

Except Turkey is ruled by the Dictator TAYYIP ERDOĞAN and he has ruined turkey.
Loved the journey to the Island of Rhodes. Thanks you really made it fun.
Ελευθερία στην Κύπρο μας ♥️
Some amazing sights of Rhodes.
Simi..yes, it does remind one of some italian coastal gems.
Very good video.Thank you.
Beautiful video!
Love these documentaries! I loved Greece. I have made some tip videos about it, I hope I can come back soon 💙💦

Actually sesame has high nutritional value, many calories , but good calories
AMAIZING video. so how many hard work to make this beautiful video

@@thresagraham8181 thanks for replying what channel is it please
@@twanabaiz9516 it was on ITV, sometime ago, so not sure if you can still get it on catch up, maybe on UA-cam, certain ones. 🌼✌️
@@twanabaiz9516 it was called “The Greek Islands” with Julia Bradbury. 🌺
SCUBA in 1863? I don't think so. The diving helmet maybe.

Actually if it wasnt for italy (people loved them here, they were amazing until WW2), Rhodes would have returned earlier to the motherland Greece
turkey is a fake country
Italy built in Albania for 5 years what Turks didnt built for 500 years.
Greek isnt a racial makeup so saying you are a little Greek is obtuse.
