Leaving for Greece on Friday. I've had this video in my playlist waiting to watch it before I left. I shared with my mom who is going with me and she has already watched it.

The best way to see a place is like a local. When I travel I like to go down side streets off the main drags -check out non-tourist local areas.
I always give you thumbs up/like on your videos

[SophieLovesSunsets]

Great video as always Jon! :) My hubby and I just returned from Greece and it's so heartbreaking to see what the country is going through right now. Beautiful country with lovely people. Sending lots of love to the Greek people from NYC 🗽❤️

Well done as usual Jon. I went to Greece 4 years ago with my Greek American wife and had a wonderful time time in Athens and the island of Andros where her family lived. It was a great mix of city and island life styles and we even ran into a few long lost relatives. We were scheduled to go back next month a take two week Greek language and culture immersion class on the island of Syros. But last minute health issues forced us to cancel. We’ll try again next year can’t wait to go back to Greece.

OMG the rooftop bar, the Acropolis, the fireworks spectacular

I was in Athens for 3 nights in June and did not get a chance to take the subway. Wish I had after watching your video! Thanks for sharing!

[quantumbyte-studios]

Refreshing.. down to earth and real rather than pretentious and hype.

[xoxpascalle]

Athens is such a lovely city. So sad about all the fires now. Hope everybody is safe :(

[edvaira]

What I found surprising is that so many of the folks you encountered not only had a surprisingly fluent skill with English but that any accent was very mild…much less noticeable than, say, an Italian or Turkish accent

[HaleyMary]

I love how the cat responded with a meow when you asked it if it wanted to be in the video! It was like it was saying, "Do I get my own channel, too?"

That is so awesome that there are statues in the subway station! It's like someone decided to put a museum or art gallery in the subway.

[dianebaker]

Loved this tour with you two people. Thank you so much for sharing this. 👍🥰

[abdullahozek]

I have been to the Central Athens in 1990 and stayed there for business from London
At night I had dinner and ate Mousakka . That was delicious and I still remember. I thank God.

[georgeramantanis]

So many tourists dont understand this city enough! ❤ Athens

[KEEPONROCKINKID]

Makes a nice change from seeing the usual top sites and attractions. I didn't realise the temperature got so hot. It's tragic watching the news (6 Aug '21) with homes burning and hundreds being evacuated. Let's hope casualties are low.

[exaraki]

small correction....in Greece neither on your name day nor on your birthday you get treated. You get presents but the if you are person celebrating, you the one treating everyone and being hospitable.

[VickyAlabama]

Greetings from Greece!!
Great job john, great video!!
I love Elena!!
She said exactly how we live in Greece!!
I laughed with the bottle ouzo at the frigde!!
All greeks confuse that bottle!!

[bonniepwtf]

I don't know how you made it thru that day, between the temperature, the food, drinks & walking. I would have needed a big nap. Interesting video, fun to see the local stuff.

[billbibizas]

I actually living in Athens but never went to acropolis! I will go for the first time in March 2023!!!!
