Some of Our Favorite Travel Videos We Think Other Travelers Would Love

Our Travel Gear:
Microsoft Surface, Travel Laptop: We travel with a Microsoft Surface everywhere we go. I edit my videos on it & use it to backup my pictures and vides while we travel. It’s light and the best travel laptop on the market in my opinion.

Camera Sony Alpha Series: We use Sony Alpha series cameras to film our videos. They are compact so you don’t look like a super tourist when you take great pictures and videos while you travel.

Western Dynamics 4 TB external hard drive. This let's you save your pictures and videos from your SD cards while you travel without having to use a computer.

Manfrotto Tripods: We use Manfrotto Tripods. They are compact, travel well, and honestly I would not use another tripod for my nice cameras.

Travel Plug that works in pretty much any country & has four USB ports. A must for any traveler.

Tap water is fine in Attica, guys. No local will prefer bottled water over tap water, unless they are very picky about their water :)

I don't understand what is the problem with tap water. It's safe.

Tap water is perfectly fine, better than bottled water.

I am actually a university student in Athens and I have performed tests on tap water here as a part of a lab class.The water is perfectly safe and quite "soft" to drink.

I’m a local Athenian, trust me, tap water in Athens is perfectly safe! no reason to buy bottled water and make plastic waste! please! if you visit an island, or a village with no natural springs, then yes maybe it’s best to buy some water or carry some sort of filter with you

Tap water in Athens has one of the highest qualities in Europe

I’m learning about Athens in my ancient western civilizations history class. This place is so rich with history I want to thank Athenians for preserving these monuments.

Tap water is perfectly fine in Athens and any greek city. The opposite only occurs on greek islands.

Another Don't: Don't forget to visit Cape Sounion when you are in Athens. Both the sunset and the sun rise is amazing there...

Tap water is completely drincable, coming from a local. In the islands (except Crete) it isn't.

tap water is very clean in Athens, and the vast majority of locals drink it. They also serve it in restaurants. I drink tap water in Athens all my life, and I am only bying sparkled bottled water. We also buy bottled water, "for the road" especially during the Summer. Only bargain in flea markets, not on a regular store or on a mall.

I have a great friend from school when I was about 12 and she moved from Greece. She knew nobody and we quickly became best of friends. We graduated high school and til this day we still keep in contact. Nice thing is she always said to me is when ever i come to visit her i have a place to stay in Chíos with her and her family. Such great people! Im Puerto Rican but the food!!!

I went to Athens for my 40th birthday last year after years of dreaming of going....the day we went up the Acropolis to the Parthenon....I was so emotional I cried....my dad who was with me said...'if you don't feel emotion when you see something like this there is something wrong' i go to greece every year twice a year...Athens is something special

I was just in Nafplio last March, right before the shutdowns. You can also drive up to the Palamidi Fortress if you’re not able to hike it.

Don’t discount those “corny tourist moments”. 🥰 I traveled to 18 countries around Europe in the past two years (while living in France). I have many incredible memories, but some of the best are the “OMG, I can’t believe I’m actually standing here 😳 “ moments.
