You mentioned Greek, European and Arabic script. Surely Greece IS European. You meant to say Greek Arabic and Roman or Latin script. Sorry to split hairs, but it is actually quite important. The Greeks do and have ALWAYS regarded themselves as European and a bastion of Western civilisation as well as the cradle of democracy, notwithstanding its imperfections then AND now. It's not just the classical works but the Hellenistic works and much of the history of Rome that was written in Greek, not forgetting the New Testament and the works of the early church fathers. Greece qualifies as Europe at the very minimum. And it's an EU member. A propos of nothing, but I've noticed in your videos that in the touristy bits like here and central Athens, most signs in shops etc are in Roman / Latin script. It's only a bit off the beaten that you see signs in Greek for the locals. I understand why they do it, but surely they could use two scripts, one above the other. Greece should promote its language and culture more. After all, if it wasn't for the Greeks and Athenians specifically, we'd all be having to learn Persian, Iranian, Farsi, or whatever. Anyway, keep up the good work. Your videos are really informative. Thanks. 😄😃
If you're planning to visit Nafplio, check out a great book about its history, buildings and characters: "Nafplio: Biography of a Greek Town" by Matt Stanley. It has a guided walk and a load of information about the castles, the squares, the coastal walk and much more . . .
Love! Regarding the history, pretty sure the Turks took Nafplio by force from the Venetians. The Ottomans didn't add much. They weren't the builders that the Venetians were.
Amazing 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩😁🤩 pretty pretty 😍😍😍🌹🌺🌸 ,Godbless with lots of peace and enjoyable times
Thank you, comments are really appreciated

I HATE Google autocorrect.
*Farsi* not Farringdon.
It corrects to idiot.
Very well done!
Thanks - appreciated!
Lovely relaxing and informative video. Thank you.
Thank you, I love Nafplio in the evening, especially in the summer, all the benefits without the heat!

Where is the Arabic? I don't see any!
It is faint but on the top of the fountain
Too many annoying unsupervised children
