I have visited Greece 4 times since 2010, 3 visits to Santorini! , once in Jan 2014, it was cold and raining when I took the boat tour from Santorini to the volcano Island 😊 My 2019 visit was from Ferthyi, Turkey, took a 90 minutes speed ferry to Rhode Island and spend 5 wonderful days there. It was difficult to leave, I met so many lovely people at my hostel! It was so nice to cook a simple meal in the newly renovated kitchen with free cook books! Rhonda became my new favorite after Santorini and Crete! I visited Crete during the Greek Easter accidentally, so supermarket were closed for 2 days, it was a bit frustrating because everything shuts down! I think few people discovered that there are similar costal towns on the Turkish Rivera, such as KOS, tranquil and pristine and cheaper due to Lira. I visited during June 2019, just a few days before visiting Rhode Island. Both Aegean coastlines are very similar, I love to visit there again!

Greek Islands are absolutely stunning I was feel at home when visiting Greece Beautiful place , amazing food and warm people 😍

In 1987 I was in Ikaria with friends. We stayed in Evdilos and we used to eat in one of the tavernas of the port. We were stunned to find out that when the fish weren't fresh from the day's catch, they refused to serve us. Therefore, I strongly believe that one of the factors of their longevity is due to their honesty and clear consciousness. I have so much respect for these islanders and I hope that all that publicity didn't ruin their souls.

Greece is one of the most beautiful countries in Europe I've ever visited the amazing food, culture, kind hospitality of the people was a nice experience

Beautiful documentary. It only scratched the surface and there are so many many other great unknown places to explore. Many pay hundreds for fine dining at a fine restaurant. Go to any Greek garden ,pick a tomato and eat it. Heaven !!!

Greece is full of wonders!I saw with my own eyes.❤

​@@DWDocumentary Has your team visited the other side of the Aegean coastlines such as the Turkish Rivera? I found so many similarities between both countries, the only differences are the languages and the currency! In June/ July 2019, I traveled all over the Turkish Rivera + pamukkali and Cappadocia, with 5 days in Rhode Island via speed ferry. The seaside town of KAS, looks so Greek, White stone paths, blue roof etc. It was difficult to end my vacation after 3 weeks there!😊 There are so many Roman ruins in Turkey and it's cheaper to visit the museums there

We share the same beautiful Aegean Sea, western part of Turkey has many similarities & culture (Greeks are much better in protecting & preserving). Politics and politicians mess up many things. We shall never allow them to separate the two communities; I personally dont, naturally everyone is free to make up their mind and life style.

I think this doc wasn't to show Greece but more about the so called blue zones where people live longer on average

BEAUTIFUL PLACE

Haha. Someone was looking for a nice work/vacation. Good job!

Unfortunately tourism creates it's own problems. The government is pressured to provide the tourism sector with cheap labour, against the interests of the workers. Thousands of young people live under poor conditions, working up to 12 hours/day, very often 7 days/week for at least 6 months. Big foreign businesses have created their own hotels and they can't seem to find workers, hence the Greek govt is turning a blind eye to all the abuse the workers receive and even considering changing the laws for benefits, effectively creating poorer people looking for a job

One thing that I've learned about the documentary is. Is not about the diet, the people, or the environment. Or what are our nationalities, our ethnicity, color etc. I have learned to be proud of our own nationalities, cultures, food, and diet. That's the key to long life. We shouldn't be accumulated by media, high standards of diet. Eat this eat that. Because in the first place, we Filipinos have a fertile land, good beaches, places, and more. Our diet consists of rice, crops, fish, and some meat. We dont get sick we also have centenarians here. Sticking to a simple diet and lifestyle.

There is another documentary about greek islands and seas by bbc go watch that

The islands are nice but the mainland is much more beautiful and diverse

There were also some Greeks among those who came to worship on the feast. They therefore came to Philip from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, Sir, we want to see Jesus And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come that the Son of man should be glorified.

is there anybody who can help with the following queries: 1. sources of income in these islands? 2. cost/expense of basic daily life? 3. education/professions in here? trying to understand the lifestyle there, 4. cost of travel (how to minimize), 5. accommodation + fooding expenses (if somebody wishes to stay for more than10 days or so and have a relaxed trip).

There should be a penalty for not showing the actual food dish but only talking about it and showing the preparation. It would be like talking about beautiful beaches and then only showing a sandbank without the water. EDIT: In fact, I have never seen a documentary in which the word "food" figures so prominently and yet shows only a single dish for about 3 seconds @19:24.
