Greece: The Unexplored Side, An Overland Film
🇬🇷 Curious to see what’s beyond the ancient buildings, interesting culture and beautiful beaches we explored the unknown side of Greece: full of adventure.

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!

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 ❤️

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.

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.

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. You get stuck in Rubicon, there are 20 jeeps behind you. Not so much in Europe/Asia.

I am sorry to say that, but you guys have a long learning curve to go. We can see that you bought the car, not built it. This Defender can do much more. Try to move the boulders with the winch for example. Don't worry about scratches. Use Low Range and just go. Next time deflate tires with your car keys. One minute, one bar more or less :D
