🦉📖 *...The sun-baked white walls are warm to the touch, as are the well-worn flagstones of the winding streets and lanes. As you wander between the jumbled buildings with their bright blue doors, little glimpses appear of the scene beyond the town: the rocky hills behind, the azure Aegean sea afore, the cloud-studded sky above. Ancient windmills stand like sentinels on a hill overlooking the town, keeping watch. You wander around a corner and find yourself in a serene oasis: a tiny plaza beside a small cafe with a sign that reads “γλαύξ” over the door. Beside the cafe, the path winds along next to a small sea wall overlooking the sparkling water, which is dotted with gently rocking boats. The sounds of other people fade away, leaving only the sweet songs of the birds, the gentle rhythm of the waves, and the peaceful, happy music drifting through the cafe’s open doors. An orange cat is sleeping deeply on a bench in the shade of a fragrant orange tree, tail flicking ever so slightly now and then in dreaming. Vibrant pink bougainvillea hangs over the doorway, a feast for the eyes as it sways softly in the sea breeze. You feel a sudden desire to stay here-there are so many places to explore, but why hurry? You should sit here awhile, perhaps drink a cup of strong, thick Greek coffee, let the afternoon meander along. Later on there will be sunsets to watch, new foods to explore, new sights to see, but for now this moment is all that you need…* --- Thanks for reading this far! I had a lot of fun creating this Greece-themed cafe for you. The art, animations, music, and sound mixing is all original. I’ve been making relaxing ambience and music videos since 2017 and I work very slowly and carefully through the full creation process to create the best videos I can. Typically I spend 3 to 6 weeks per video and at least 100 hours. I don’t always do a good job of mentioning this but you can find all the music from my cafe videos on streaming platforms. Each video has its own album with the cover art matching the video. I appreciate everyone that has taken the time to check those out and regularly stream them. This is a huge part of how I can afford to continue creating new videos for you. I hope this brings you good vibes this spring and summer or whenever you need a mental vacation 😎☀ If you enjoy the video please consider helping me out in one of these ways: 👍 LIKE/COMMENT/SUBSCRIBE/SHARE: all of these things help my videos reach more people so that I can continue creating. 🎧 STREAM: listen to my music on streaming platforms! linktr.ee/calmedbynature ☕ DONATE: Want to buy me a coffee? paypal.me/calmedbynature 👕 STORE: shirts, mugs, art, etc ua-cam.com/users/calmedbynaturestore
Oh my God. As a Greek, I can honestly say that it looks like you sat somewhere on a Greek island and painted the landscape before your eyes. Magnificent work. A thousand congratulations.
@@AndrewSiachos1992 Than you so much for saying that! So much inspiration in those islands. I had a lot of fun watching walking tour videos and exploring the history and architecture. 💙🤍
Oh my! I was so excited to see a new notification from this channel and then I saw the thumbnail and realized it was Greek Island themed. As a Greek person this made me really happy 😅. Thank you for thinking of us. Wish our country could always be this relaxing. ☺️🧳🇬🇷 Fun fact: The name on the door is "Γλαύκα" (glafka) which is a "traditional" way of saying owl! 🦉 But the most common is "Κουκουβάγια" (kukuvagia). Love that little detail 😅
@@CalmedByNature When I read your description, it felt more personnal than other texts you wrote, to the point where I wondered if we were looking at one of your personnal memories. Well done!
The story for this video is so exquisitely written! I was looking for the perfect ambiance to start the day as you uploaded; thanks for the wonderful treat and happy summer! Feels like I’m at the seaside 🎉
The Mediterranean is the place I dream most about visiting. This is so incredible and I love your Bossa Nova videos! They're also a big hit at the office when we have it playing while people are waiting :)
Where do you want to visit?? I'm thinking about making a second Mediterranean theme this year... oh and I love that this is your office waiting room music 💙
@@CalmedByNature Oh yeah, it's definitely a hit with everyone! It's fun to see people getting surprised when they see your animations (they think it's a still picture at first) and then they start hunting other moving parts LOL! And I would love to see Sicily and as well as the rest of Italy! It would be cool to see a Tuscan themed video, although I really love your theme for this one, which seems to be Greek (?).
@@CalmedByNature Cote d'Azur, Southern France. Beautiful beaches and the blue-est water (hence the name azure coast). It has some of the highest real estate prices in the world for a reason ;)
So much thought and care was put into this and it really shows. Love that I can see the curtains swaying inside the cafe, and your sweet kitty breathing and enjoying her vacay! You absolutely nailed the blending of music and background sounds too. A million thank-yous for this beautiful escape. It's just what I needed right now! P.S. I just love the stories in your pinned comments. The "strong, thick Greek coffee" part got my mouth watering for a good coffee! Now I can't wait 'til morning. ☕☀
I've not seen the ocean, not felt sand beneath my feet, in over half my lifetime. So many decades.Thank you for allowing me to hang out in your welcoming escape. I promise not to disturb our feline friend as I drink in this wonderful visit 💞
Ah.... Just what I needed. I am going to put this on my big screen and sip a glass of wine. I can feel the breeze as it stirs the bougainvillea and sways the curtains. Thank you!
Amazing view! Fantastic colour combination and composition, amazing detail, with plenty of interest and movement to keep a relaxed and enjoyable attention, all whilst chilling to the great music. The cat is enjoying every moment of it 😸😊
I often make fun of "the cat is in my spot", with an aim at making someone smile (probably another cat household), but still, the absolute attention to detail put into this is tediously great! At first I thought the petals and leaves in the courtyard and on the steps was a nice touch, then I saw leaves twitching in the breeze, not just the ones at the edge of the shrub, but even within the shrub! What else am I missing? Scan the courtyard and there it is, I'm examining a hanging plant and in the background a curtain wafts in the window. Thought I'd seen it all with the excellent correlation of visual waves and correct audio and then I notice the cat breathing. Wow! You say you put about 100 hours into each video and I am beside myself that this can be made in only "about 100 hours". Applause, accolades and standing ovations to YOU! Thank you again for all you do. Keep on!
It's the look a cat gives you when the cat knows it's in your spot. Honestly I was originally going to put the cat in the in the windowsill where there are flower pots but I bench was too tempting. If you rewatch the intro you might even see the cat do a few other movements. The 100 hours is easy round number but in a video like this one where I worked on it for around 6 weeks it could easily have been more like 200 hours. I don't keep track. Thanks again ✌️
I wished I here in a place like this sitting at a table drinking a glass of ice tea and eating a salad, listening to the beautiful music playing on the radio and looking at the city on the other side of the ocean with my cat relaxing on her favorite bench after drinking a big bowl of milk this is really an awesome paradise this would be if i was really here, but i can imagine though can't I but I'll wish you all a very good day and week everyone and take care.🎵🎶🎼🎸🎸🎹🪘🥁🎼🎶🎵
I just wanted to relax in the shade with my fresh, aromatic coffee and AGAIN the cat is in my spot!!! How does she do this every video?!!?? Simply amazing! As is each of these exquisite videos. With all sincerity, thank you for this oasis of serenity which each of your videos provide. Truly musically and visually medicinal. Thank you again. Till next time, keep on!
I am always amazed by your attention to detail! From the swaying branches and shadows to the breathing cat to the perfect waves, this is beautiful! Love the bossa nova too! The only thing that would make this better is if I had a plate of dolmades to enjoy while watching this! 🥰
Ah...relaxing music...an enchanting scene...and a wonderful description! Another winner! Thank you for sharing your creative vision with us. Have a lovely day everyone!
I have been loving this video to help me finish my past few courseworks for university. Only one more due on the 20th and then I am graduating in July! 🥳🎉 Thank you for the sweet melodies! I know most of the songs off by heart!! 🌊
I really like the peek-a-boo aspect of the ocean here - that tempting view from the oasis of the garden patio, the little gate daring you to open it and walk onto the sand... Your order will be up soon, but maybe just a quick stroll on the beach? Or will you sit and pet the kitty, knowing the beach will wait...
Glad you like it. I call those keyhole views. I like to incorporate them into my compositions whenever I can. I saw a lot of blue gates like this in my research for this video. Typically they're used in residential areas but I liked the temping aspect of placing it as the gateway to the sea. I know I'd want to investigate after lunch :)
Ooohhh. A morning coffee in Santorini. Blue Bayou. It would be a nice touch if the Sasquatch walked between the 2 buildings. In a bathing suit of course. :) Nice thank you.
I'm glad you're enjoying it! I don't make that many summer videos like this but it was fun to explore a new setting. I used the island of Mykonos as inspiration. There are such beautiful colors, architecture, and flowers there.
i wish i was relaxing here in this beautiful place instead of having to study for final exams 😔 i guess i can just imagine myself here while studying 🥰🌊 beautiful selection of music, by the way. very calming and giving me all the summer vibes!
Good luck with your exams! Maybe you already know this but I also release all my playlists as albums on streaming platforms if that interests you at all. Take care!
@@CalmedByNature yes i am aware! i constantly stream your albums on spotify, especially the jazz ones! 😊❤️ i haven't checked out this album there yet, but i will definitely head over there now and give it a listen!
@@tealoranges Thank you! I think this one is currently being sent to streaming services still. I only uploaded it yesterday and it can take a few days. Thanks again
What I'd give to step into this video and turn the scene into real life, music and all. Siiighhhhhh. I really need this today. Thanks for making me feel better.
Wow the attention to details is amazing, the birds flying, boats sailing in the distance, the tablecloth and curtains moving in the breeze, the dappled shade. Beautiful work.
A-h-h-h-h-h…. Thank you for this awesome gem! I am so glad you are also sharing your music now too. Ever since your banjo playing in the intro to your live-action harbor video, I’ve wanted more. Thank you, Calmed By Nature, for sharing all your artistic talents. ✍️🎨🖼️🎼🎤🎬💖
I absolutely love your new cafe by the sea in Greece, the ambiance is enchanting especially with bossa nova music. Love the details including the color scheme, florals over the entryway of the door, round tables outside of the cafe, cat sleeping nearby on a bench, etc. I'll just order some ice tea and relax at a corner table in the back listening to the music and enjoying the scenery. Take care 🦉
This makes me so happy :) The weather is getting nicer, summer is coming 🥳 This brings back happy memories of all your previous summer cafés, seeing the record at the beginning, hearing the music, seeing the nice picture :) You gotta enjoy these little things! Thanks for what will be another great summer! ✌️
Glad you're enjoying it already. It's a little more laid back than some of the first bossa cafes but I worked with a lot of the same composers from those videos so the vibe is similar.
Kos. I loved exploring the old town and their little side streets. Your video looks just like it right down to the colours. I'm new to your channel and loved the cosy winter scenes and I wondered how this would evolved once winter ended. I'm happy to say you achieved this by miles ❤ 😊 x
love this so much my daughters are heading to Tenerife in MAy this will set them up nicely and we have 2 beautiful ginger cats called cheeto and Garruss Thank you
Yay, it's finally here! I've been looking forward to this one. Greece has been on my bucket list for years now! This is a little slice of heaven. The blue & white with the splashes of pink bougainvillea is a treat for the eyes! 😍 amazing job, as usual! Thank you!
The scene reminds me when I was in the military and TDY Exercise in a small town I believe was called Nea Anchialos, Greece. We had tent city on a local camp site right on the beach. Not as pretty as your picture but ambience was similar when not working. Back in the 80s… 😊
@@CalmedByNature it was such a long time ago. Main memories were relaxing on the beach eating souvlaki and going to the local discotheque at night (they were a few years behind current music) and drinking Ouzo (the real Ouzo). That drink Kicked my butt. I also remember going to Volos and Athens - both great places to visit.
I hope you know how appreciated the insanity of detail in your videos are. You might just be my favorite digital artist in the scenery category- if not overall! I can’t get over how beautifully it all comes together and how thought out everything clearly is. The cohesive color palette, accurate shadows, reflections, textures, subtle movements, audio/visual lining up, perfect lighting, almost nothing is static… All of these elements (and more!) combine to make a true painting come to life! This is so insane to me! Not to mention the unique yet recognizable soundtracks that make every video seem familiar in the best way! Outstanding work, once again! I'll be staying here for quite a while... 🤍🌺🌊☀⛵🍊🌳🍋🌺💙
Thank you so much! After putting many weeks of work into a project like this it's great to receive kind words and genuine enthusiasm for the end product. I hope you get a lot of use out of this video this year. 🇬🇷💙🦉☕️
This didn’t show up in my subscriptions or recommended for some reason T_T but it is so so gorgeous and I’ll definitely be putting this on to get in the summer mood!!!!
I've heard that same thing from several people with this video. It's getting harder and harder to get my videos out to people. I always suggest just double checking you have the notifications turned on or follow my instagram because I always post there as well when new videos come out.
Oh, I am so excited! I was hoping for a new seaside bossa nova. They are my favorite for work, and this is stunning--absolutely stunning and mesmerizing. I want to visit this place, eat, drink, and smell the sea air with the sun on my face. I also appreciate your detailed description in the comments. As an accessibility professional, I love it when creators help individuals of all abilities interact with their work. Your words paint a picture that could help blind or low-vision users experience the setting that goes with the music. Thank you for my new favorite summer ambience and for all of your talented work.
Thanks for reading the description, and I'm glad you enjoy the bossa nova videos. I spend a lot of time daydreaming about the settings I create and it's fun to get to imagine the types of warm and tropical settings that go with bossa nova music.
I can attest to that since I am a blind user and voiceover reads the descriptions to me. It’s truly a wonderful experience and thank you for what you do by the way you’re helping a lot of us and I truly appreciate it.
@@cassondraforeman Thank for letting me know! Just out of curiosity does the voiceover read the text written in the video description or do you have it read the text in the pinned comment?
Это один из лучших каналов в данной тематике! Он всегда поднимает мне настроение и делает мой день прекрасным 😊 Спасибо за автору канала за удивительные работы! 🙏 Желаю Вам процветания и счастья!
Thank you for this video. My parents recently had to sell their beach condo after buying it almost 40 years ago. No more family beach trips, but this video is a nice reminder.
@@CalmedByNature It was down in San Clemente, about halfway between Los Angeles and San Diego. Before my parents had even met, they both spent time in San Clemente, my dad for work and my mother vacationing with friends. Both dreamed of having a place there and after 20 years of marriage, they finally could afford one.
@@CalmedByNature Mostly stayed on the island of Syros, but we visited Mykonos and Santorini too. A few days on the mainland in Athens as well. Syros was so lovely--all the beauty of Mykonos/Santorini but without the crowds!
Good to know. I watched a lot of walking tour type of videos of Mykonos and it's definitely a popular place. I could imagine those narrow streets can get a little claustrophobic.
I’m currently drinking a mocha from Starbucks in my mom‘s car while she is looking around in the nursery. In my mind, I am at this café, pictured in the video instead of the cars going by outside I can hear the crashing waves. I truly appreciate everything that you do and I know, I’ve said it before, but your videos calm down excuse the pun. I don’t know if I’ve said this before but I suffered from anxiety and sensory overload and I’ve kind of been having a bad day today. Coming across your video today really helped. Thank you
Sorry to hear your day hasn't been going very well. I have some sensory sensitivities as well so I understand how it can feel. I'm glad these videos help 💙
Thank you so much. Today is definitely better. Technically it’s my fault because I forgot to take my medication that helps with that. I should know better lol
This ambience is so gorgeous! 💖 🥰 I really love all of the Autumntime ones (especially the cafes), but this one is extra special too because I'm going to go see a production of Mamma Mia with a friend next weekend, and it reminds me so much of it! ❤️ Looking forward to looping this one in the months to come, too!
This was inspired by the island of Mykonos in Greece. I've been wanting to make a Mediterranean theme for a few years... now I might have to make a French Rivera theme next...
I really love the fact you posted two videos. I use this café video during the day and the campfire on frog Lake at night. The campfire video helps me sleep at night and the café video keeps me relaxed during the day. And it’s good that they’re both eight hours because I can just let it play all day and all night.

I have been loving this video to help me finish my past few courseworks for university. Only one more due on the 20th and then I am graduating in July! 🥳🎉 Thank you for the sweet melodies! I know most of the songs off by heart!! 🌊
I’m glad you’ve been enjoying it! Congrats on finishing your degree 🎉 and good luck with whatever comes next for you.
I suddenly have a craving for spanakopita. You have an amazing gift. Thank you for sharing it with us.
That sounds really good right now... thank you for watching and commenting 💙
I really like the peek-a-boo aspect of the ocean here - that tempting view from the oasis of the garden patio, the little gate daring you to open it and walk onto the sand... Your order will be up soon, but maybe just a quick stroll on the beach? Or will you sit and pet the kitty, knowing the beach will wait...
Glad you like it. I call those keyhole views. I like to incorporate them into my compositions whenever I can. I saw a lot of blue gates like this in my research for this video. Typically they're used in residential areas but I liked the temping aspect of placing it as the gateway to the sea. I know I'd want to investigate after lunch :)
@@CalmedByNature Cool! I like when artists explain their thinking, thank you!
Thanks for leaving this comment! It gave me a new way to think about the scene :)
Omg I want to be there right now, soaking in the gentle sea breeze and sun, whist feasting on delicious souvas with a glass of wine. Yassas!!!
That's my kind of vacation day!
Ooohhh. A morning coffee in Santorini. Blue Bayou. It would be a nice touch if the Sasquatch walked between the 2 buildings. In a bathing suit of course. :) Nice thank you.
lol now that would be a memorable trip
Love it! Your first mediterranean video, it must be Greece 😊. Love the Bossa Nova and the wave sounds. Definitely this is my favourite summer one 🌞👍
I'm glad you're enjoying it! I don't make that many summer videos like this but it was fun to explore a new setting. I used the island of Mykonos as inspiration. There are such beautiful colors, architecture, and flowers there.
i wish i was relaxing here in this beautiful place instead of having to study for final exams 😔 i guess i can just imagine myself here while studying 🥰🌊 beautiful selection of music, by the way. very calming and giving me all the summer vibes!
Good luck with your exams! Maybe you already know this but I also release all my playlists as albums on streaming platforms if that interests you at all. Take care!
@@CalmedByNature yes i am aware! i constantly stream your albums on spotify, especially the jazz ones! 😊❤️ i haven't checked out this album there yet, but i will definitely head over there now and give it a listen!
@@tealoranges Thank you! I think this one is currently being sent to streaming services still. I only uploaded it yesterday and it can take a few days. Thanks again
What I'd give to step into this video and turn the scene into real life, music and all. Siiighhhhhh. I really need this today. Thanks for making me feel better.
Glad it helped 💙 Thanks for watching and commenting
Wow the attention to details is amazing, the birds flying, boats sailing in the distance, the tablecloth and curtains moving in the breeze, the dappled shade. Beautiful work.
Thanks for the kind words 💙
A-h-h-h-h-h….
Thank you for this awesome gem! I am so glad you are also sharing your music now too. Ever since your banjo playing in the intro to your live-action harbor video, I’ve wanted more. Thank you, Calmed By Nature, for sharing all your artistic talents.
✍️🎨🖼️🎼🎤🎬💖
Be careful what you wish for... I'll start playing the banjo again 😂 For real though, thank you for your support and interest in what I do.
@@CalmedByNature~
I am careful.😉
I thought it was fab!👏🏻 More would be great!
I absolutely love your new cafe by the sea in Greece, the ambiance is enchanting especially with bossa nova music. Love the details including the color scheme, florals over the entryway of the door, round tables outside of the cafe, cat sleeping nearby on a bench, etc. I'll just order some ice tea and relax at a corner table in the back listening to the music and enjoying the scenery. Take care 🦉
Let me know if you want any refills :) Thanks for the visit and all your support!
This makes me so happy :) The weather is getting nicer, summer is coming 🥳 This brings back happy memories of all your previous summer cafés, seeing the record at the beginning, hearing the music, seeing the nice picture :) You gotta enjoy these little things! Thanks for what will be another great summer! ✌️
Glad you're enjoying it already. It's a little more laid back than some of the first bossa cafes but I worked with a lot of the same composers from those videos so the vibe is similar.
Ahhh my favourite one so far, it's just like a holiday in Greece that I once had. So authentic and amazing ❤
Thanks! Where in Greece did you visit?
Kos. I loved exploring the old town and their little side streets. Your video looks just like it right down to the colours. I'm new to your channel and loved the cosy winter scenes and I wondered how this would evolved once winter ended. I'm happy to say you achieved this by miles ❤ 😊 x
I wish I had the ability just watch a video of any place and teleport there right away!
🦉🪄✨✨✨ ☕🇬🇷🌊 welcome to Greece
love this so much my daughters are heading to Tenerife in MAy this will set them up nicely and we have 2 beautiful ginger cats called cheeto and Garruss Thank you
I'm jealous! That sounds fun. I love orange cats as well 🐈
Yay, it's finally here! I've been looking forward to this one. Greece has been on my bucket list for years now! This is a little slice of heaven. The blue & white with the splashes of pink bougainvillea is a treat for the eyes! 😍 amazing job, as usual! Thank you!
You're welcome! It's now on my list as well. I haven't traveled that much but I was reminded how fun it is to learn about and explore a new setting.
I'm here!! Saw the notification at work and I could not wait until my break started!! Listening to this as I eat and relax. Fantastic as always CBN!!!
Thanks for the quick visit. I figured there would be some people needing a pick me up on a Tuesday afternoon :)
Couldn’t be more perfect for me as you’ve included a ginger fur baby 😬😻💜🇬🇧
I thought an orange cat would go perfectly with all the blue details 💙🐈
The scene reminds me when I was in the military and TDY Exercise in a small town I believe was called Nea Anchialos, Greece. We had tent city on a local camp site right on the beach. Not as pretty as your picture but ambience was similar when not working. Back in the 80s… 😊
That's interesting. Do you good memories of being there? I'll have to look up that city.
@@CalmedByNature it was such a long time ago. Main memories were relaxing on the beach eating souvlaki and going to the local discotheque at night (they were a few years behind current music) and drinking Ouzo (the real Ouzo). That drink Kicked my butt.
I also remember going to Volos and Athens - both great places to visit.
@@g-paj5430 That sounds like a fun time to me!
I’ve listened to this beautiful music and looked at the scenery enough that it plays in my head to calm me while I work at the hospital.
I'm glad you have enjoyed it so much 💙
Loving the vibes
Glad to hear it. It's a chill summer mood
¡Seguro que si! Yo ya estoy ahí 🦋🌸✨🧘🏼
Mamma Mia! Here I go again! My my, how can I resist ya? 🌞💕💕💕
😁🇬🇷
So cool and mesmerising, thank you for this beautiful artwork!
Thanks! 🇬🇷☕️🌊
Stunning! In every way! ☺️
🌊🎶🐈🎶🌊🎶☕️🎶🌊
What a glorious day…
💙🤍💙🤍💙🤍💙🤍💙
Hey thanks! I'm glad you think so 💙
OMG IM OBSESSED!!!!!!! THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY!!
I'm glad you're enjoying this one! 💙🇬🇷☕️
The music that starts off is really peaceful, and I love the scenery with the hanging flowers and leaves. Looks really beautiful ❤
Thanks! This is a really laid back but still kind of happy playlist.
Greece is so beautiful, this reminds so much of Apotos Day from Sonic Unleashed very nostalgic and peaceful!
Очень красивое видео и музыка!!! Люблю- Грецию!!!!! 🌺🌺🌺❤🇬🇷❤🌺🌺🌺
Спасибо! 🇬🇷💙
I hope you know how appreciated the insanity of detail in your videos are. You might just be my favorite digital artist in the scenery category- if not overall!
I can’t get over how beautifully it all comes together and how thought out everything clearly is. The cohesive color palette, accurate shadows, reflections, textures, subtle movements, audio/visual lining up, perfect lighting, almost nothing is static… All of these elements (and more!) combine to make a true painting come to life! This is so insane to me! Not to mention the unique yet recognizable soundtracks that make every video seem familiar in the best way!
Outstanding work, once again!
I'll be staying here for quite a while...
🤍🌺🌊☀⛵🍊🌳🍋🌺💙
Thank you so much! After putting many weeks of work into a project like this it's great to receive kind words and genuine enthusiasm for the end product. I hope you get a lot of use out of this video this year. 🇬🇷💙🦉☕️
This didn’t show up in my subscriptions or recommended for some reason T_T but it is so so gorgeous and I’ll definitely be putting this on to get in the summer mood!!!!
I've heard that same thing from several people with this video. It's getting harder and harder to get my videos out to people. I always suggest just double checking you have the notifications turned on or follow my instagram because I always post there as well when new videos come out.
Oh, I am so excited! I was hoping for a new seaside bossa nova. They are my favorite for work, and this is stunning--absolutely stunning and mesmerizing. I want to visit this place, eat, drink, and smell the sea air with the sun on my face. I also appreciate your detailed description in the comments. As an accessibility professional, I love it when creators help individuals of all abilities interact with their work. Your words paint a picture that could help blind or low-vision users experience the setting that goes with the music. Thank you for my new favorite summer ambience and for all of your talented work.
Thanks for reading the description, and I'm glad you enjoy the bossa nova videos. I spend a lot of time daydreaming about the settings I create and it's fun to get to imagine the types of warm and tropical settings that go with bossa nova music.
I can attest to that since I am a blind user and voiceover reads the descriptions to me. It’s truly a wonderful experience and thank you for what you do by the way you’re helping a lot of us and I truly appreciate it.
@@cassondraforeman Thank for letting me know! Just out of curiosity does the voiceover read the text written in the video description or do you have it read the text in the pinned comment?
Это один из лучших каналов в данной тематике! Он всегда поднимает мне настроение и делает мой день прекрасным 😊
Спасибо за автору канала за удивительные работы! 🙏
Желаю Вам процветания и счастья!
Спасибо!
Blame it on the Bossa Nova. Like a dose of audio visual valium, insomnia cannot exist in your creations. Thank you so much CBN.
The cat agrees with you 😸💤
Thank you for this video. My parents recently had to sell their beach condo after buying it almost 40 years ago. No more family beach trips, but this video is a nice reminder.
Oh bummer! Where did they own the beach condo?
@@CalmedByNature It was down in San Clemente, about halfway between Los Angeles and San Diego. Before my parents had even met, they both spent time in San Clemente, my dad for work and my mother vacationing with friends. Both dreamed of having a place there and after 20 years of marriage, they finally could afford one.
@@RavenHouseMystery That's a beautiful story. I'm glad they were able to own one and I'm sure create many memories over the last 40 years.
Thanks!
Thanks so much! I hope you have a great day 🌊☕️🇬🇷
This is the most beautiful one so far. Wish I was there, but this is close! Love it!
Thanks! Welcome to Greece 🇬🇷☕️🦉🌊
This looks just like my visit to Greece!!! So beautiful and peaceful!
Awesome! Where did you go?
@@CalmedByNature Mostly stayed on the island of Syros, but we visited Mykonos and Santorini too. A few days on the mainland in Athens as well. Syros was so lovely--all the beauty of Mykonos/Santorini but without the crowds!
Good to know. I watched a lot of walking tour type of videos of Mykonos and it's definitely a popular place. I could imagine those narrow streets can get a little claustrophobic.
how are the waves so perfect? I see them develop way out, then roll in and gently crash. I can feel it. wonderful.
Thanks 🦉🪄 ✨ ✨ ✨ 🌊
So beautiful love from Greece 🇬🇷💙
🇬🇷💙 Thank you! Do you live in Greece?
@@CalmedByNature Yes in Thessaloniki
CBN today I really need this calmness in my life! Thank you it’s so beautiful 🎉
Drop by whenever you need a little vacation!
Amazing, love when you do Bossa Nova, this is beautiful. I can't wait to hang out and read a book while this plays.
I'm glad you're into the bossa videos. I enjoy creating them this time of year! It's a fun escape for me while I wait for the warmer weather ☀️🇬🇷
Beautiful!!! You always make sure great art, the sounds, the covers, the music, all of it! 🥰
Thank you!
Gorgeous as always! Thank you so much for another transportive video ❤
You bet! Thanks for watching 🇬🇷
Oh my gosh this is literally my dream
I'm glad you're enjoying it!
I’m currently drinking a mocha from Starbucks in my mom‘s car while she is looking around in the nursery. In my mind, I am at this café, pictured in the video instead of the cars going by outside I can hear the crashing waves. I truly appreciate everything that you do and I know, I’ve said it before, but your videos calm down excuse the pun. I don’t know if I’ve said this before but I suffered from anxiety and sensory overload and I’ve kind of been having a bad day today. Coming across your video today really helped. Thank you
Sorry to hear your day hasn't been going very well. I have some sensory sensitivities as well so I understand how it can feel. I'm glad these videos help 💙
Thank you so much. Today is definitely better. Technically it’s my fault because I forgot to take my medication that helps with that. I should know better lol
'Glauka'. Interesting name for a cafe. In reference to the ocean no doubt.
And a handy menu pocket!
I like this ambience.
Glad you're enjoying it! The cafe name translates to owl 🦉☕️
This ambience is so gorgeous! 💖 🥰
I really love all of the Autumntime ones (especially the cafes), but this one is extra special too because I'm going to go see a production of Mamma Mia with a friend next weekend, and it reminds me so much of it! ❤️
Looking forward to looping this one in the months to come, too!
Fun! I’m glad you like it 🇬🇷💙
❤❤❤ I love this place and the music is great! Wonderful ambience with the sound of the ocean... 😊💘
Ohhh. The setting takes me to Greece or the south of France. 😍
This was inspired by the island of Mykonos in Greece. I've been wanting to make a Mediterranean theme for a few years... now I might have to make a French Rivera theme next...
I love this Greece vibe so much!
Glad to hear that! 💙🇬🇷
Another AMAZING relaxing spectacular video! Well done!
Thanks! Hope you're having a good week.
I’ve only experienced 19 seconds of this and it’s PERFECT lol ❤
🙏 Enjoy the vacation 💙
My friend it is the ABSOLUTE BEST when you upload your videos!
Thank you for your captivating video!
🏖️🗿👊😄🗿🏖️
Oh thank you I needed a Greek vacation!
Drop by whenever you like 🇬🇷☕️
When I finally get my hands on a Holodeck my wife and I are hanging out here for a few weeks.
😁 let me know when you find one
Perfect! I'm picturing me there.
Enjoy the vacation :)
Oh wow, another amazing, beautifully done video! Thank you so so much!!!❤❤❤
This definitely brings me to my happy place.😊
Welcome! Thanks for finding your way here 🇬🇷☕️
I had no idea so much hand work goes into these. I'm very appreciative!
Ah, I see you brought my sleepy cat, enjoying his slumber on that comfy bench…I’m loving this beautiful Bossa nova get-away, too. Thanks!💙🐱🌊
I really love the fact you posted two videos. I use this café video during the day and the campfire on frog Lake at night. The campfire video helps me sleep at night and the café video keeps me relaxed during the day. And it’s good that they’re both eight hours because I can just let it play all day and all night.
Glad you'r able to use both of them :) Hope you have a great summer
With your videos along with some others, I’m sure to have a great summer. Thanks and have a great summer as well.
