The Fall of Constantinople in 1204 is a major turning point in medieval history. The decision of the Crusaders to attack the largest Christian city in the world was unprecedented and controversial. Reports of the depredations and brutality of the Crusaders scandalized and horrified the Orthodox world. Relations between the Roman Catholic and Orthodox Churches were disastrously affected for many centuries and were not substantially restored until modern times. The Byzantine Empire was left much poorer, smaller and ultimately less able to reverse the Turkification of the Asia Minor hinterland. The actions of the Crusaders immediately accelerated the collapse of Christianity in the east and in the long term facilitated the expansion of Islam in Europe

Ioannina is the city of jewellery makers. Sotirios Voulgaris was from there.

There was a sign in Greek in the greater entrance indicating there's a museum inside the yard area.

You have the best multitasking skills, whether walking along doing your vlog or driving a manual car and filming at the same time. Thanks for taking the time out to show Ioannina, even though you weren’t well, much appreciated. Looks like a charming and historical town. I hope you’re feeling much better now. ❤️✌️

Hi Gabriel, I spent several weeks in Parga in 1977. It was a small village/town then, and I stayed in a little place for $9 per night. It was a magical experience for sure. We took a small boat trip to Alexandria’s beach and beautiful grotto. It was only a few miles away. Safe travels! 💚

13:20 if you were to turn left you would have gotten to the heart of the castle where Ali Pashas grave is and a great coffee shop with an even greater view of the lake...

Awesome gabe! I was just waiting for your new video.. Have a great time in Greece..

[eleniasimop]

After this video for Ioannina and the previous one for Kastoria I officially understood that you don't like
Waterfronts. It's a pity, because that's why both of them are famous of. The lake of Ioannina has a very
picturesque inhabitant island in it which is very easy to visit.

The Siege and Fall of Constantinople took place in April 1204 and marked the climax of the Fourth Crusade. The Crusaders, led by Henry Dandolo, Boniface of Momferrat, and Baldwin of Flanders, captured, sacked, and destroyed parts of Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire. After the Fall of the City, the Latin Empire (known to the Byzantines as the Frankish or Latin Occupation) was established and Baldwin of Flanders was crowned Emperor as Baldwin I of Constantinople in Hagia Sophia.

Thank you for this walking through the streets of Ioannina. Allow me, please to make some explanation. In 1204 the Latin empire was established by the participants of the Fourth Crusade and Constantinopol fell.In the unoccupied areas, Epirus Despot State, Nikei Empire and the Trapesund Empire appeared. In 1261 The Nikei Emperor Michael VIII Paleolog defeated the Crusards, liberated Konstantinopol and reestablished the Bisantian Empire. The inscription you show may be Turkish. Turkey adopted the Latin Alphabet after the fall of the Ottoman Empire followng the reforms of Kemal Ataturk.

Hey bro, great video! I would love to check out that part of Greece myself! I'm currently in Crete, if you have any plans on coming this way I'd love to meet you!

[vitalitihomirov]

The weather in Sanct-Peterburg and Tallinn was sunny and cool today. Hopefully it will reach Greece soon.

There is an underground 3 storey garage under the center square.
