    I'm German and have been living in Greece for 20 years. I've never visited Thessaloniki though, because I live on an island, but I met people from there and they were all very nice. Greek people in general from my experience are welcoming, hospitable, empathetic, proud, loud, community oriented, creative, curious and they love good food, good company, good music, sharing, making gifts and offering food, their family, children, beauty and enjoyment. I would describe Greece and Greek culture as a fragile balance between tradition and anarchy and I admire anybody who manages to govern this beautiful chaos. Never forget: in Greece a human is first of all a fellow human. Edit typo

    So, you've managed to coexist with our chaos for 20yrs?! Worthy of my respect! 😂 Jokes aside, that's what we are, I often think we're like an open book to others, but I kinda like this characteristic, 'cause it makes us look more honest (if I may use this term), more direct. If we like you, you'll know it, if not, the same. We're hot tempered as well which ofc is not good, or tend to complain ab everything... Or exaggerate over things... Could we be better? I wish. But on the other hand, no one's perfect, everyone has flaws.... Thanks for the polite comment, you know us well 😁

I find it so funny how you can argue with a Greek in front of a shop about the parking and he might insult you and be very upset and 20 minutes later you leave the shop and have trouble carrying your shopping bags and the person you argued with before will rush to help you 😂 I've never been to another place where people adapt so quickly.

During a 20' school break, sth happened between us & we started quarrelling like mad. Swearing, screaming at each other, etc. The bell rang & it was like the switch turned off & in an instant, we were like lovey-doveys again. The rest of the class, took us for lunatics ofc...😅 That's a good example I can present in a smaller scale of how easily we lose & find our sanity back! 😅😁 Ofc it's not always that simple, really hideous people can always hide around the corner, but yeah... In general, we're that! Plot twist to your experience: you exchanged phone numbers! 😁😁😁

    As a greek person raised in greece but living abroad I think the negative characteristics we have as greeks are quite many unfortunately and I think it's good to share them and discuss them openly so that we can improve as a nation. First of all we have no discipline which is a big downside. Second, we protest too much and the way that protests are happening is not really leading to any changes. It's just part of everyday life so politicians don't give a ****. Third and most important maybe, is that we have no healthy relationship with our culture and history. We have no deep respect of our customs(for example many Greeks don't know to dance greek dances, many people make terrible spelling mistakes, they don't research our history through proper resources and they have a feeling of superiority that absolutely doesn't make sense. We don't respect the space and ourselves(littering and bad urban planning is obvious in many parts of Greece). Also we swear at ourselves all day long that we are shit but we don't actively try to change it. I hope we start seeing these things as a nation before it's too late and that we try to create a more positive image for ourselves and our country.

    I agree that we have faults but disagree with the ones you mention. Discipline is not a virtue. In fact, the whole set of "protestantic" virtues, let's call them that, is nothing to aspire. The problem is not those who protest but those who don't, giving the politicians the margin to not give a shit. So, more protests instead of less. We don't need to know how to dance Greek dances or even spell correctly. Still, the number of Greeks who dance Greek dances spontaneously for fun is high, compared to other countries. Our relationship with our ancient heritage is definitely not healthy, agreed. We need to reclaim it from the Europeans who appropriated it and put it back in its original eastern-Mediterranean context and appreciate it for what it was.

    Thank you for this video, it's always interesting to see other people's perspectives. As a Greek-American who lived most of my life in the US, I've lived in Thessaloniki for the last 20 years. Greeks everywhere are very friendly and hospitable. No doubt loud too, whether they live in Greece or abroad. My Mom says I've gotten louder since I moved here! 😂 3 things annoy me wherever I go, but as a Greek returning to Greece I was upset that my country also has this... 1) Graffiti! I really can't stand it unless it's artistic or creative. 2) Littering! I literally picked up somebody's trash (notebook paper or scrunched piece of paper) 3 times in my first month here. In all cases, I'd pick it up & return it to the owner. My husband laughed and told me they dropped it intentionally. I didn't believe him until after the 3rd time, gave up chasing after those who litter. 3) Women would you please stop throwing buckets of water over the balcony railing!! You have a drain in the balcony for a reason. My 5 y/o nephew got drenched by some woman doing that from the 5th floor on Bas. Olgas which is a busy street of many people walking! Did she think she lives in a village? oh end of rant! lol

    He asked the French old couple to tell him a few things about the Greek people, and they tried to avoid to answer. Traditionally, northern Europeans don't have the best opinion about Grreeks. The old man said that Greeks are "different", what he meant is that he finds them annoying. Another thing is that when Europeans visit Greece they avoid interacting with the local population! They concentrate only in food and other superficial staff. They never make an effort to get to know the people that they so much dislike!

    Great video but just a correction about the University that was mentioned. They're not trying to make students pay for education, but what the government wants to do is allow for private education to be recognized in Greece. The students going to the free public universities are not getting the same quality education as their counterparts in private universities in Greece, and they fear if private education is officially recognized in Greece then they will have a disadvantage when looking for a job. What they should protest for is a better quality education at the free universities instead of protesting to fight competition which would benefit Greece overall.

    @@temuujin.natsagnyam Well you were more accurate than this comment. The ultimate goal is to make people switch to private academic education by "impoverishing" the current National system which btw is protected by this country's Constitution. This is an illegal law that the current government has passed and this is why the students are protesting . Its exactly like what they did with the Electric power company and they are achieving with the National Health system. i.e. They are undermining the system for decades forcing people to seek solutions in the private sector. Now a new modification of the existing law was pushed under the table (meaning voted during holidays and late night parliament sessions) allowing private interests (medical companies and doctors) to use the Public Hospitals for their health practices on the expense of the taxpayer's money. The argument was to "shrink" the cues of patients waiting for a surgery but in practice those with money skip the line and common people see no benefits. Greece is and always has been a corrupted society from its first steps as a modern state.

    No, man, quite the opposite: they know that the private universities will bring down the quality of education. They are not protesting for their own sake, they want education in Greece to remain free and of high quality for everyone, as it is now. What the government should do is stop under-financing and undermining the free universities. And they *are* trying to make students pay for higher education. You think neoliberals see USA's system with fees and student loans and don't want to adopt it? You honestly believe that?

    I came in Greece really young so I consider myself Greek ....plus I have Greek parents (one of them had a common Greek mentality). As with all populations, the behavior of Greeks can be described by a bell curve capable to indicate predominant mentalities and behavioral characteristics. In my personal limited experience, the peak point of the bell curve in Greeks' behavior tends to be shifted at an extreme point. (i.e. quite person- moderate -loud...The Greek curve falls to the right and that's true for most cases and aspects of life) As a visitor you might find it interesting or quirky but if you live here for years and attempt to work and cooperate with the population , you start and make sense of the economic condition of the country and the dysfunctional society it has to offer. Its not the only modern state that displays this profile but surprisingly enough Jared Diamond found a common characteristic shared by most of them. Countries like Italy (Rome), Greece, Egypt, South American countries etc, with glorious pasts tend to produce problematic societies mainly because they are systematically taught that their countries are already at the top of human history and they don't really need to prove anything. Social sciences' studies showed us that our percentage of failure raises the moment we are congratulated for our goals...before we even achieve them. So that its interesting to think.

    Or we can look at historical factors. Whole population mentalities don't just sprout out of the earth. For example, Greece, Egypt etc have been parts of empires for millennia. As opposed to being kingdoms. That creates a different mentality towards the highest power that governs you, in one case it is something vague and obscure somewhere far away and you deal with the local representatives and you only have your extended family and the bonds you tie to rely on. In the other case, you have a king that can and often does co-operate with the people against their common enemy, the landed nobles.

    Of course we resemble our forefathers even today. Scientific research has been contacted by the University of Harvard which found, despite Greece being in the crossroads of civilizations, Greeks themselves remained unchanged. They also recommend if you want ancient DNA, you either go to the Greeks or the Iranians (Persians). Later the Greek Aristotle University in collaboration with one in Perugia, Italy, contacted the same research which confirmed the same findings. Greeks throughout history weren't known for mixing with non-Greeks for some reasons YT will delete my comment in case I mention them, but you get the gist. Only recently, in 60s, since Europe herself started opening up, we started mixing a little bit with other fellow Europeans.

    Lovely video. But as a greek born and raised in Thessaloniki and now living in the north of Europe I cannot not be annoyed by the comments and the stereotypes of the german girl and the french couple. The german girl said that young people grom greece are not philosophical. Let me tell you something girl: there is a small minority in the north that will actually engage in philosophical or political discussions. You go to places where young greeks are and you can see the opposite, passion and debate. Maybe she didnt find anyone philosophical enough because she really is not, along with her country men and women. The french couple said we are loud. Well they meet the stereotype of the french being rude and arrogant. Personally i am sick and tired of the way these "superior" people describe us. It is poisonous and annoying.

    As a Greek THESSALONIKI IS GARBAGE, lived here for some years cause of university and their ideology in general is very different from other places of Greece. Food is horrible, taxis are very mean and cursing at you if they dont like something, most people ive met in the center neighborhoods are mean, very expensive little deparments with problems and most of them have been build in 1957 or 1960s. Its not a city to live. They dont maintain the buildings and basic things, and as a result we have many problems daily. The quality of life is horrible. THE ONLY GOOD THING is the University when it comes for degree and job afterwards AND THATS BECAUSE OF THE TEACHERS. The University itself is garbage. Drug dealers and people doing drugs daily when you walk inside the university, other universities from other places of Greece dont have to deal with drugs. Oh yeah that reminds me.. Many drug dealers in the city and violent people daily. Dont forget about the refuges, they think they own the city. The City itself is dirty also😊 They think that thessaloniki is Monte Carlo but the city was good until 1987, my mum told me that cause she was in Law school
