Living in Thessaloniki, Greece

Vlog and Street interviews with people in Thessaloniki, Greece.

[helgaioannidis]

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.

I love Greek culture, I think I was Greek in my past life, everything in Greek feels very close to my heart. Respect from Glendale California

As a greek if you want to experience real greek culture dont go to Athens or Thessaloniki, go to the rest of Greece. Greece is very diverse it's not just "Opa" and bouzouki

Great video. I have been living here in Greece since 2010. I moved from the UK here to Greece. I love Greece with all my heart, both the bad and good.

Funny thing the French find us Greeks loud, when the loudest people I keep encountering while living and travelling abroad are the French😂

[SCARAMOUSXL]

I hope you liked our country and that everyone treated you well. I am from Athens but Thessaloniki is a great city for eating, partying and everyone is so chill (that's why they're late).

[MariaGreece]

It's very interesting to see how other people see us. Thanks for the video!

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.

Greeks are so kind n generous, and when they r nice, they really are just nice. Not nice to get something out of u, like malaysians n Indonesians
