As a foreigner living in Greece for the past 10 years, I admire greatly what you've done here :) I am almost brought to tears. You've clearly fallen in love with the country and the people in the same way I have :) I look forward to your future adventures, wherever they may take you!

Wow that is really nice to hear thank you! We really loved Greece much be really nice to live there
the worst mistake I made on my long term travels (with a bicycle) was: too much hurry, too much speed. you´re 100% right when you take youre time! and thanks for choosing "the other routes" - it´s great to follow you on these tracks, thank you for the hard work filming & editing!
Yes, it is very important to slow down, otherwise you will burn out. We travelled for 3.5 years. Travel for 6 weeks and then 3 weeks off. Just stand somewhere, just make sure you have food, fuel and water. Cheers Rolanda ❤️

Yes we still didn’t do that long on one place but noticed that if we stay for two nights we recover and enjoy the rest of the week again.
Greece is heaven. The immense diversity of landscapes is just stupendous. Ofcourse this video only highlights a tiny fraction of Greece's immense diversity of beauties, but the fact alone that Greece lies on 4 tectonic earthplates coming together in Greece (the Asian plate, The African plate, The European plate anda 4th plate crushed inbetween), results in a very complex geography and topography with 80% mountains. Every mountain in Greece is different. And so many different landscapes, seascapes mountainscapes and so forth. I have been 60 times to Greece to know these beauties and still exploring many new areas I never seen before on the mainland, as well as I have only seen 15 islands of 6000.

Great visuals and loved the video. No hate, but that Defender probably could have driven over some of the rocks you were moving. Don't be scared to use it's full potential! Lower tire pressure will do wonders. Go look at US or Aus 4x4 channels to see what a vehicle like a Defender with front and rear solid axles can do.

I see some (mostly US) commenters are forgetting most of the world don't have recovery service within 20 minutes :- ) It's better be safe than sorry as few minutes of rock-crawling glory can side-track week(s) of adventure.

Great adventure. I love your team work. We live in our van since October 2022 and our first trip was over the Balkans to Turkey. Turkey was disappointing due to even more garbage all over the places and the Kangal streetdogs were even more aggressive toward our dog than in Greece. So in Fethyie we decided to go back. Peloponnes was great, though.
