Donal, thank you so very much for taking us along on your adventures! I'm a disabled great-grandma, unable to travel, but I can enjoy things vicariously through UA-cam adventurers like you. Thank you!!!
I went to Ikaria this summer. I miss the place so bad that I was looking up Ikarian videos and found out Donal came there too!! Amazing place, wonderful foods, beautiful people! Oh those hitchhiking, never ending sunny days on the beaches ..
Thank you for visiting Ikaria. It has a magic all its own. It's not built up for tourists and the people are poor, but real. As you go inland, people in the isolated towns still often use words Homer used (it is rumored he settled there in his old age), and their ancient Greek mixes with the more modern Greek. So steeped in history! And yes, they often are healthy even in their old age. My cousin is 92 and she has the body of a 20 year old, always running up steps, walks miles a day, laughs, is loving and kind. All the family is. I feel so out of shape when visiting home.
Fabulous!!!!! My family is from portugal & madeira. My partner & I along with our 5 year old just travelled around part of europe in january. Greece is on the list for our next holiday. Donal Skehan
It's been 9 years!! I remember watching donal skehan on Fox Life. When this episode came out, I was completely mesmerized by the island and the people. IKARIA island has become my dream place, I want to visit it at least once in my life. The impact of this episode was SO BIG that I can never stop mentioning Ikaria.
Happy Belated birthday to my favorite chef, food blogger, tv person and everything you could be! *Lol* I can't wait to see your new creative ideas! And please visit my country, Indonesia sometimes. :) I'm so sure you were had blast on your birthday! And wish you all the best in your wedding preps!
Ágata González When my friends and I went to Athens, we kept going to a place that served the best lentil soup. I think we had it like three times in the week we were there. Lentil soup and bread, don't need much more! (well, wine. Aretsina, please). :)
Donal great episode, my husband & I recently stayed with George & Eleni who become friends for life once you meet them! You could not have picked better hosts to give you a warm Ikarian experience - I wish the episode went for longer!
I had to laugh. Your "little plane" looks like a de Havilland Dash 7 or 8. Made in Toronto where I live, these STOL aircraft connect to many cities in North America as well as the rest of the world. If you want small aircraft, come on over here and travel with a bush pilot who fly the infamous Beaver float plane landing on the thousands of small lakes here. I am enjoying your new series very much but next time, come to Toronto, which according to the United Nations, is the most cosmopolitan city in the world. No need for you to fly all over Europe, you can find all the ethnic foods you have shown and so many more right here. Tonight I plan to have Pide, a Turkish style, elongated pizza. Oh yum.😋🍕
I just checked with Olympic Air and was right. You flew on a Dash 8, made in Toronto and holding around 100 passengers, and is certainly not tiny. A million years ago, when I flew the Atlantic on Stratocruisers or Super Constellations, these planes held only sixty or seventy people! Ah, you young kids of today!💺😉😱🙀
Well, I'd be dead or at the very least, lying in a hospital bed because I'm allergic to stings, lol. Well, its wasp stings I think I'm particularly allergic to so I think that means I'm ok with bee stings? Maybe?!! I don't know. But I wouldn't risk it for a biscuit I tell you, teehee. Happy Birthday to you both. Ikaria looks stunning. Lee xx
Island of long life ...no stress.
When ever I feel low I usually watch ur cooking videos especially this European episodes. Thanks for making.
