Be aware that Greece is not just incredible islands. Greece's mainland is simply equally gorgeous and immensely diverse. The islands are all combined immensely diverse too which makes the country just a collection of parasides. But if I hear the person in the video talking about islands in the way she does, she comes across as pretty unaware of Greece's most overlooked beauty.
- Greece is also 80% mountains and 20% of ALL of Europe's Ultra peak mountains lies in Greece.
Ultra peak mountains are mountains that rise atleast 1500 meters above its lowest surrounding point.
Meaning the real visual height of a mountain. Greece has 19 Ultra peak mountains.
For reference. Switzerland has 8, Austria 12, Croatia 0, Spain 4 on its land territory. Meaning Greece is a tremendously mountainous country with truly spectacular scenery that most people dont know.


Greece has also 400 wetlands another thing most people are not aware of. with Greeces 80% mountains and 16.000 km of the most crystal clear waters, there are also a lot of rivers and deltas and and so on from the mountains towards the sea. For comparison. A country the size of Turkey has only 110 wetlands.
So it comes to give an idea of how wetland rich Greece is.


Also Greece has 800 natural hotsprings which is some of the most in the world.


Also 15.000 caves. A whole arch of many volcanos. Among which Santorini is the largest sea volcano in the world


Another thing. Greece lies on 4 tectonic earthplates which gives Greece its immensely diverse mountains, landscpses, geology, immensely diverse geography and topography.
Greece lies on the European, African and Asian plate which comes together inside Greece. And the 4th one is the one that got crushed inbetween the other 3

And this is just a tiny starter of what Greece truly is about. It has also the highest biodiversity in Europe due to how isolated so many areas of nature is because of the 80% mountains and islands that each creates isolation

For a minute I thought you were taking a 4 hour boat to Paris! 😂

I really appreciate that you show the logistic of traveling. Most of the channels just show the good stuff at the end of the journey. Like if they teleport from place to place

Many folks struggling to cover basic expenses often face this challenge because they didn't save enough during their working years. The choices made in preparing for retirement have significant impacts, as seen in my own family. Different investment strategies led to different outcomes. With guidance from a financial advisor, I'm now enjoying my retirement.

When i was your age i did some travel reportages for Elle Magazine. I was also there in the Ciclades twice. But you know i regret that i didn’t enjoy that part of my life like a normal turist. To do a reportage its take time, no including the writing. Now my dear Im 58 and I have youngkids. I still do photography bud weddings in the summer. I beliebe the best its to have a normal job and do some freelancing beside. All the best from Oslo.

“Taxi drivers are just like people”
Well… Yes… 😂 😂
Lmao. That was funny.

Always eat before you go in the ferry or bring food with you because it's more expensive to buy from teh ferry

[jerometsowinghuen]

I love to learn some Greek mythology and historic sites, that are significant to the country.

[UnbeLISAble]

I get seasick too and it’s actually best to eat something healthy that you know will feel good in your stomach before going on a boat rather than going hungry (and maybe being stuck eating something not to healthy later on) It sounds counterintuitive but it helps to have food in your stomach. I’ve made that mistake before too

Just a quick tip with boats the faster they are the smoother they go through the water. Not always but most likely they will be smoother the faster they are

Thanks for the video. I will be in Sanotrini and Paros in the second week of September. I wonder whether it will be crowded or not.
Thanks!

Most ferries in Greece are big, safe and comfortable.

[alexhimis]

Exellent job, please more video from beautiful Greece.

[s.d.m.]

I love your vlogs... thanks a Million!

[redraiders]

Which month did you visit? September? This seems like a good time to visit with less people and still decent weather.

[jackierinker]

Can you get around easily if you only speak English?

[Satish.Kumar]

Thank you Kaja for taking us on this journey from Santorini to Paros. It was a pleasant surprise to know that Kaja follows Drew Binksy's vlogs :)

[jorgejim]

What are some non standard islands to visit? Like not the famous ones like these but the hidden ones only locals know about

[lance]

There should be a TV show regarding why the hell taxi is the most complained trade in almost all countries.

iPhone, YouTube, what is waiting with such entertainment? The ferries in Greece are smooth. No rocking, no seasickness
