I appreciate the fact that this video was obviously made by someone who is genuinely in love with Greece and greek culture. It's refreshing to see such presentations free of the usual cliche and stereotypes. Well done Sarah!

That's a bit more than any typical tourist video will show you.. Very cool!

4:44 fun fact this is traditional music from Kozani in northern Greece

Now that's massive! You (and the whole crew) do a tremendous job at capturing and transfering the true feeling of a day in Athens! Well-deserved congatulations for pulling this through! Περιμένουμε να μας ξανάρθετε!

During my last day of my 3rd visit to Athens, i went to the hill across from the Acropolis, for the best view!!! I love Greece and Turkey, their history and food are so similar!!!

I love Athens!!!!

If you only have a day, simply don't go! Athens is a world to know!

Leaving from Florida to Athens in three weeks, soooo excited!!

I felt like I was able to visit Athens for a few minutes today via this video, thank you!

Looks amazing. On my bucket list for sure.

You're a real one for telling us not to wear any skirts when visiting the Museum! I'm always in dresses! Thank you!

This was a wonderful video presentation of Athens. I felt like I was there again. It was professionally Narrated, Videoed, and Edited. Good Job. You should be proud of yourselves. I am ready to go back to Athens. I had a great time there last year. 🐸🐸🐸🐸

Thank you for loving my city and showing the beautiful things that offers 😊💗

You forgot some superb rooftop bars with Acopolis view.... such as 360

Congratulations!! This video Is so amazing and shows to your viewers so many things to do in Athens. As a Greek so pleased to watching it. Thank you Sarah!!

This should be on your bucket list. Awesome video indeed

We might have to shift our plans and make a trip to visit Athens right away! I can’t believe how much there is to do in this historic city, can’t wait to experience it, such a great video!

The Cats reaction was the best !!!

Im impressed… a video that actually goes deeper in to the Athenian culture and not only touristic stuff. Nice

Earlier we thought Athens was all about ancient monuments and buildings, but in this video you have shown a completely cool side of the city. We would love to see similar videos of santorini and mykonoos

I agree that there are so many islands more worth visiting than Mykonos and Santorini :) Stay tuned for our Santorini piece where we explore the "truth" about traveling to this island@@eleniasimop

This video is so good! and I am loving Sarah's energy

The National Archeological Museum is the best.

I've been to crete and corfu and greece feels like the most exotic country of Europe because of the friendly people, the language dance and music. The many green island and healthy delicious food but i haven't been to Athens i will give it a try. Thanks for the nice video i'm subscribed 🙂

Nice video, well done !! I miss my city these days …

Thanks for that Sarah! Brilliant video showing the real facets of the city and the balance between antiquity and modern culture

Well researched and immersed!

Will definitely keep these in mind for my trip to Greece this summer!

So interesting and funny! It’s a good idea for the next holiday. I’m looking forward to experiencing that vibrant atmosphere

I digress I would go to the old museum it has the most important treasures

Amazing video! In almost 10' minutes you presented so many interesting sites!! Wonderful!

I know ethan's greece has a awesome metal scene over there too

I would probably add just one thing: the view from Lycabettus hill at night.

It's really amazing!!!!🎉🎉🎉

Genial !!! Me encanta la musica griega!!!

Maybe next year!

Well done, Sarah! Great pacing, awesome info, and you're a great host!

This video is so awesome Sarah! I love the impromptu music section! You da bes!

Really nice video!

A great video. As an Athenian, just a big thank you❤

the Grappa is the Italian version of Tsipouro

excellent video! do one for thessaloniki now!

💙

Amazing video, but you forgot to mention that you cannot actually enter the Odeon site outside of their event schedule.. you can only visit it when there is a concert or similar (if you have a ticket for that of course) PS: While walking up the acropolis you have a pretty good view on the whole Odeon tho, good enough to take a picture :)

The Acropolis and the Acropolis museum. Here, solve it even before the video started.

Would you recommend going on your own or taking the ship excursion again?

🇬🇷

That's a good one. Well done. First time I do not feel like living in a zoo in my city to get observed from afar with all the naive and silly stereotypes that the international mind set denands a fit in. Μπράβο

I recently visited Athens. This video unfortunately shows mostly only Athens south of the Evripidou street, where all the tourists gather. If one goes north, to Omonia, one sees how much the city has struggled more than even a decade after the financial crisis--junkies and derelict buildings are everywhere. The Acropolis Museum is also disappointing, giving no clear routes that guide its visitors to understand the Hellenic history. Also, I think that Exacheria worth a mention in this video, given its counter culture and anarchist movements that stand out in a city more known for its ancient history. Overall, I felt sad seeing the cradle of western civilization now dominated by tourists, junkies and residents that don’t look too happy. I sincerely hope an even speedier recovery of the city from the economic woe!

Thank you for sharing your insights and experiences with us! Don't forget that this is a travel report, rather than an investigation about social and economic difficulties. Perhaps tourism can also help the city to recover.

I would avoid Greece and for sure Athens the crime rate in Greece is very high and last year my last visit I noticed Greece is more of a third world country then a European. There is no improvement one might say things are getting worse. Free advice see the Parthenon and look elsewhere for an exotic vacation

Even if the video is great, Athens is still one of the worst cities to live.

Our city suffers from over-tourism! We don’t need more tourists..

​@@jasongray4517 Athens unfortunately over the centuries was not a growing thriving city. It didn't experience the renaissance and other eras that would be reflected in architecture. It was reduced to a small village during the centuries of Ottoman rule. In the 19th century it did have beautiful Neoclassical buildings that were sadly demolished in the 20th century. I do agree about the graffiti, I can't stand it either. It needs to be removed. But to simply dismiss Athens as just a dump without any redeeming value is unfair. I'm Greek and while I don't pretend to say Athens as a whole is a beautiful city it still has parts that are. So forgive me if I get a little miffed when someone makes a comment in a rude manner. You don't like Athens fine no one is forcing to go there.

Athens is as old as Xi'an and Luoyang in my country, however the ancient architecture is obviously attractive
