those tomatoes in the first resturant looked CRAAAZY good. And I normally dont like tomatoes because you can never get them good in Norway. They are always so pale and just sour tasting
That first place looks like its an 'unoffical' restaurant in the bottom of someones house. Some Greek food is excellent i must say. They sure do like their graffiti in Athens!
Next time in Greece ...go to Crete and lavish their couzine....I still cant get the weight off ,that I put on after a holiday there!!!!! COME BACK SOON!!!!!
If only there was a way to keep graffiti off the normal everyday things. Here in my town they dedicated an entire 100 foot by 30 foot wall to let people graffiti it as they wish. Its also partially a resteraunt. Wouldnt you know it graffiti everywhere else grew almost nonexistent. There are still certain places people assume are gang type turf that are graffitid, BUT the stuff everywhere else has been untouched since the wall. There are some people who have never graffitied in their life but have gone to the wall to add a piece of themselves through art.
I had my annual checkup at my doctor a month before we went to Greece. After we spent a month in Greece and came back to the US, my doctor couldn't believe my bloodwork was so perfect. He praised me for finally taking control of my health. I swear thst i didnt do anything. This all happened because of the Mediterranean diet I was exposed to in Greece. Every delicious mesl was accompanied by a Greek salad. Every meal had fish. Multiple side dishes with eggplant, peppers etc. For desert we were served yogurt with honey or watermelon. The diet made all the difference
@Rizla I don't agree with you. Is the obesity epidemic in USA due to psychological issues in half of the population or is the longevity of the okinawans all due to their good psychological condition? What about the Greek island Crete? If anything, we Greeks should have a very low life expectancy due to the economical crisis that has affected nearly all of us. Sure, our lives ARE getting shorter due to the crisis but who can attribute that all to bad psychology and not changes in dietary patterns such as opting for cheaper fast food rather than more expensive healthier options?
@Rizla Ειναι πολυ ενδιαφερουσα η αποψη που παρουσιάζετε. Ως φοιτητής ιατρικής οφειλω να σας πω όμως ότι οι μονες ορμόνες που ρυθμιζουν την χοληστερολη π.χ. είναι οι θυρεοειδικες. Αναφερομαι στην χοληστερολη γιατι ειναι κλασικό παράδειγμα παράγοντα που οδηγει σε καρδιαγγειακη νοσο και μπορει να παρακολουθηθει απο εξετασεις αιματος. Με εξαιρεση την περιπτωση υποθυρεοειδισμου ή υψηλής tsh καθως και γονιδιων, η χοληστερολη ρυθμιζεται αποκλειστικα απο την διατροφή και την ασκηση. Με εξαιρεση αυτοανοσες παθησεις του θυρεοειδους που ΙΣΩΣ αν και δν εχει αποδειχθει να προκαλουνται απο στρες και ειναι ΑΜΕΣΑ ΟΡΑΤΕΣ σε εξετασεις, το στρες ΔΕΝ μπορει να προκαλεσει υποθυρεοειδισμο, ποσο μαλλον αυτος να αναστραφει με συντομες διακοπες. Η χοληστερολη πεφτει με την διατροφη. Κατι τετοιο ειδε ο γιατρος του παραπανω κυριου και του ειπε συγχαρητηρια.

I'm from Switzerland and truth to be told: most of the people here are cold to stangers, becuase it's strange to act different. I know they dont want to be mean, its just unusual to be not sceptical. If they see a baby they think "oh pls don't cry" people in Greece were "Oh what a cuuutie" and start smiling, laughing. 2 years ago me and my best fried visites Creta, it was the most enjoyable time in my life if. We didn't rent a car, instead called a taxi to visit some things, next day we called the same taxidriver again, because he was really fun even he couldn't talk any english, but we understand with hand and feets, I had a small dictionary with me and tried to translate oh it was sooo fun...after the 3rd day, last day before we left, he surprised us by inviting us to a tavern, run by a family member of him, right next to the ocean! We ate the most tasty fresh Gavros, drank smooth self brewed Raki, some incredible dishes too, talked to the familymembers, about life in crete and all sort of things, and I felt like part of them.

The country is breathtaking and incredibly diverse, 80% mountains that gives you breathtaking views around every corner. 16.000 km of the most pristine crystal clear seas/beaches, 6000 islands, perfect climate, unparalleled history, incredible culture, heavenly food and the biggest treasure of all: the incredible hospitality and warmheartedness of the people. This combination is truly inspirational and leaves anyone speechless. 10 years ago was when I visited Greece. And from that moment since I have visited Greece everytime
Ptolemy336VV , ooh I do understand every single word how you mean it, while reading I was thinking YES eeeexactly yes yes :D It's something of the most difficult thing to get in contact with someone here, if you talk to someone unknown they think you are a weird person, as a man you are pervert, it's so sad. And once you explore a culture in the south (okay, I only know Italy and Greece) it's SO overwhelming. Of course, it was not "the real life" with all the problems they have to handle while I was there, but it doesn't matters, because in this short time they also don't show this to me, they show joy, hospitality, laughts and just have a good time. Here I feel everyone is pissed of something, grumpy, and let everyone know it... I have a wonderful life, hopefully no one gets me wrong, I've got a nice place to live, good food, enough to buy clothes and those things, the medical care is excelent and I will have enough to live when I'm old, I don't have to fear to starve ect. But I just miss those "heart warming things". We have to go back to Greece some day :D thanks for sharing your toughts ^^
You are right. When I was in Switzerland they acted very arrogant or at the very least, aloof. The Greeks and Italians were much more friendly and helpful. Too bad, because Switzerland is so beautiful, and people would stay longer if they felt welcome.
Growing up; my parents always wanted to visits places like Japan to shop, my friends wanted to visit Amsterdam to get wild, but I always wanted to visit Greece because it’s a magical place. When I get there, on the first day I will visit the Akropolis and watch the red sunset while shedding tears of bliss. I love Greece 🇬🇷
I live in Greece and i am 10 years old but i know that so many people just want visit athens. There are hundreds of islands to visit so many cites to visit so explore all of Greece not just one part of it
Although the economic crisis has hit this country hard, I find people there still keep their pride which I really respect. What impresses me most is how clean every place is, even the 20euro/night motel is spotless. That is the kind of culture, we Americans, do not have.
@Greg oscar carefull what you ask for boy everyone can type behind the pc you Just another mongol with nothing but only hate to your superiors because after all we greek are the True blue bloods if war starts between us i Will do my part and in greek army we say a good turk is only dead keep hating boy
greg oscar are you Turkish . What type of person wants slavery on people. The Greeks were slaves to them400 years. And Turks still this day want greece
Can we have more tourists like you, pleaseeee? Can you make a tourist school to train them before they come here? Seriously, I haven't seen many tourists (and I work in tourism sector) being so respectful and excited at the same time. Also, you couldn't have chosen better restaurants/taverns for the center of Athens.
Mark does his homework and his goal is always to show a culture and it's food in the best light by being that way he also shows himself and family in their best light someone you like to know
@karışık kuruyemiş nope it isn’t Turkey dos not have food from there own they jst copying Arabic persian foods and mixes to gather and culling thm turkish food
This made my day! I'm Greek. Most of us in Athens know Diporto. It's a classic! The way you savour the food, and know how to eat puts a smile on my face!! Much love !
This vlog reminded me of when i was 13 and i had made some friends on the beach. I could barely speak english or greek and they ofc werent that much better with their english. But we played everyday together and they showed me some cool places around their town and similar restaurants and street food shops. One of the other kids was the son of a chef in one of the restaurants and in the evenings he gifted us some free foods and sweets while we were sitting down there in the kitchen. The places you showed us strongly reminded me of back then
Haha, I finally see Micah eat what you eat, the bread of the breakfast. That breakfast is beautiful. Then you said "I'll have a quick dinner." Normally that means a sandwich or instant noodles for most people, then there were FIVE huge full plates by yourself!! Hahaha!
Micah is such a great kid, seems to really love the travelling, so good natured, he will grow up a well rounded human being, and with a healthy appetite like his dad
We went there today, it’s locals restaurant, the food was really good and big portions they give, also the owner is such a nice guy, when we said we are Mark’s followers he was delighted and gave us Greek dessert for free💗
I love all Mediterranean food ... All Mediterranean countries make amazing dishes ...They all make it very hard for you to dislike anything they make 👌🏼👌🏼🤗😋
You know how some days you don't feel like cooking? Well Mark inspires me to go home a create a good meal, I'm on dialysis and his videos helps me sit through the 4 hours i"m on the machine. I love his smile, his eye. and his family. Thanks Mark, keep the videos coming and God Bless you and your family.
Athens is my dream city since I am so into Greek Mythology and History. Thank you so much Mark, Ying and Micah for letting me experience it with you guys through this video. Excellent narration as ever Mark 👍👍👍💕💕
Not long ago in another video i comment "Mark you should come to Greece" and you did it :) thnx for your good words for my country next time i hope i can make you a home made dinner to die for :) god have you and your family strong and healthy Mark...
These cold days in the north I long for Greece.. What I love the most is that whether you go to the mainland or one of the beautiful islands, it's always something new - a new local twist to the ever-so-great food. I've eaten some of the best stews in Crete, some of the best meat dishes in Athens, and possibly the best greek salad in Chios and a fava bean stew to die for in Lesvos. Not to forget the hole in the wall restaurant in Rhodes gave me the most wonderful gyro experience. But wherever you go, great people and great food.
Come you will feel like home here. You will be home actually , people will regard you as a friend and not a tourist and a bag of money. All you need is a genuine smile , that is all.
👍🌶Love love love the veggie Greek food . I would love to travel to Greece. The bread reminds me of our Savior Jesus Christ & Athens reminds me of His apostles. Thank you for sharing this great adventure.👍
κάτι μαγικό haha funny guy. Greetings from Samsun. I recommend you visit it. Great city with lots of nice people. If you look back at it, it was concqued by Sultan Keykâvus and his brother Sultan Alâeddin Keykubât. Citys like Trabzon or Istanbul are also very nice citys to visit them. please inform yourself about the history and geogrphic knowledge. Have a nice day

Micah's a traveler, just like his dad. 😊 I loved how he was grabbing at the tablecloth, trying to get at the loaf of bread! I hope you can taste food together someday soon.
Omg I love my country so much, I feel so blessed that I'm Greek. I'm glad you tried traditional Greek food, you tried dishes that we actually eat daily! I love that you are so informed and appreciative of everything. God bless your beautiful family, this video made me smile!
anastasia profitou Anastasia I am about to visit your country and I am super excited! I have a question for you: how much I can get away with English? I didn’t get to learn Greek , I don’t think I will have enough time tho.
I love your travels Mark. Thank you for this trip to Greece. I've never been there but it feels like home in my heart. Much love to you & your family. May you keep inspiring us.
Wow, they were working on the acropolis in 2010 when I was there, too. Love the food in Greece - the best food I had in Europe (also Spain). It's one of my most favourite places on earth. Huge part of my heart is still in Greece. I can't wait to go back. Maybe next year!
Yep! They are working at one side at a time so the place can still be visited. They are working slowly as this is a very sensitive project. Projection for completion is 2020 I think..
you need a good diet first🤣 .... then in Greece be sure you 'll take back double kg haha... it's so hard to choose between our dishes and sweets as well.... good luck and wish you be back in Greece soon 😊
I saw an interview with the lead archeologist, and she estimated the reconstruction will take more than 20 years from the time of filming the reportage.. It was something with the stones only fitting to a single spot because they are all a few milimeters rounded so they appear straight from afar making it a huge puzzle.. Hope ill be alive to visit it fully reconstructed!
Restoration started at the 70s and will keep on till 2025 or 2030. It is unavoidable as work is extremely sensitive while making accurate lost parts is like matching a 3 d puzzle
I actually can't wait to go back to Greece after lockdown here in Australia. Greek people have go to be a very strong and prided culture of people. Direct and down to earth no bullshit aside. They tell you what they think, they are happy to help you, they are hospitable, they do not care who you are, you are always welcome. The children of most Greek people are mature and respectful of elderly people, help their neighbors like no tomorrow. The Greeks are also very intelligent, I mean the foundations of mathematics and science comes from there.They are all about family and helping each other. Thats why even though they had an economic crisis, they survive, because they know how! I love the Greeks they are by far my favourite people and I have visited over 80 countries.
OMG I'm needing some greek food! I lived in Athens for 2 months back in 1981. This brought back so many memories. I must say of all my travels, Greece has the best food ever!
Such delicious foods and what a lovely city. I cannot believe that this city is right on our European doorstep and I (Maxi) have never been there! Maro has lived 15 years on Crete so she cooks these foods very well at home and I love them. Safe travels to you all wherever you are! Best Regards from Maxi and Maro.
This is the video that i am waiting for! The famous acropolis! You can visit more historical sites in Athens like Hadrian arch and the temple of olympian zeus. If you still like the Olympic history, do visit an ancient site in Olympia where the torch lighting ceremony is carried out using the traditional sun method.
Yong De Tan I have been to the ceremony multiple times; it's awesome to see. Also they often ask school students to carry the torch as well (for a small distance)..very cool.
Wow!!! We must visit here. Love the simplicity of place but look how solid is food. Sardines house wine from barrel and it comes with ice tray to keep it cool!!! Just wow! I love Greeks and Greek food. Lovely people! Love from Turkey
Come my brother, you will feel like home. Trust me. Ordinary Greeks love Turkish people and vise versa.We are the same , we yell , we laugh , we hug each other all the time. I wanna visit your beautiful country one day too. Never had the chance.
I'm admiring this guy for taking his wife and son wherever he go. A loving husband and a good father. More power to you Mark.
Chari Dela Cruz I Agree with you
Its not hard to follow man for women. I think huge applauds should be given to his wife instead. Coping with babies and travelling. thats tough.
The whole family is incredible...Mark respects his wife and take cares of his son...and Ying is supporting him in the best way anyone can😊😊

Thank you!!!!
Can we have more tourists like you, pleaseeee? Can you make a tourist school to train them before they come here? Seriously, I haven't seen many tourists (and I work in tourism sector) being so respectful and excited at the same time. Also, you couldn't have chosen better restaurants/taverns for the center of Athens.
Mark does his homework and his goal is always to show a culture and it's food in the best light by being that way he also shows himself and family in their best light someone you like to know
YEAH YEAH YEAH

Greece was truly blessed by the Gods. Can't wait to go there after the virus mess is over
Greek people really love babies. Of all your videos I've never seen such a reaction to Micah.
Dirtboxhor especially grandparents. they also think that if a baby eats a lot then all its problems are gone :p
th sy axaxaxa
Dirtboxhor the market ladies in Kenya have Micah free fruits...lol... everyone loves Micah!
The baby steals the scene every time! What a cutie. 👶🏻
I married in Greece and lived there two years. The food is AMAZING!!!! 🤩
Yes, I think Greek food is similar to Middle-Eastern food. But I think Middle-Eastern food is still better than Greek food. Sorry.
@@amrazim4029 specially persian foods
@karışık kuruyemiş nope it isn’t Turkey dos not have food from there own they jst copying Arabic persian foods and mixes to gather and culling thm turkish food
@@amrazim4029 you are jealous 😘
You are a lucky man. I envy you
When you travel around the world you become very humble person. Great fan from Nairobi.
So tru you just learn to adapt to everyone’s culture and spread love and peace ♥️
My neighbor just came back from Spain and he talks like he is a seasoned world traveler already.
This made my day! I'm Greek. Most of us in Athens know Diporto. It's a classic! The way you savour the food, and know how to eat puts a smile on my face!! Much love !
humble honest food ...welcome to Greece! I really liked this guy!! He looks genuine happy person!!!
I know I've learned my lessons to sit with my food while watching Mark's video 🍝🍛

More Power To The Greeks? ILove their Gyros and Fries...And 👍👍👍👍👍5thumbs up for their GREEK YOGURT!

😂😂😂😂😂
lol XD
😂😂🤣
😂😂😅 Automatically laughing hard now reading your comments
😁😁😁😁😁👍
Omg ... your reactions to all the food makes me so hungry!!!
Mica has more STAMPS in his passport then I will ever have 🤣
That's for sure. I'am from the USA and I've only been to Canada.
This vlog reminded me of when i was 13 and i had made some friends on the beach. I could barely speak english or greek and they ofc werent that much better with their english. But we played everyday together and they showed me some cool places around their town and similar restaurants and street food shops. One of the other kids was the son of a chef in one of the restaurants and in the evenings he gifted us some free foods and sweets while we were sitting down there in the kitchen.
The places you showed us strongly reminded me of back then
Haha, I finally see Micah eat what you eat, the bread of the breakfast. That breakfast is beautiful. Then you said "I'll have a quick dinner." Normally that means a sandwich or instant noodles for most people, then there were FIVE huge full plates by yourself!! Hahaha!
I’m coming to Greece just to embrace the experience, thanks Mark
Micah is such a great kid, seems to really love the travelling, so good natured, he will grow up a well rounded human being, and with a healthy appetite like his dad
Billy McMonagle like father like son
It's in the blood. His mom and dad loves traveling 😂
We went there today, it’s locals restaurant, the food was really good and big portions they give, also the owner is such a nice guy, when we said we are Mark’s followers he was delighted and gave us Greek dessert for free💗
I love all Mediterranean food ... All Mediterranean countries make amazing dishes ...They all make it very hard for you to dislike anything they make 👌🏼👌🏼🤗😋
You know how some days you don't feel like cooking? Well Mark inspires me to go home a create a good meal, I'm on dialysis and his videos helps me sit through the 4 hours i"m on the machine. I love his smile, his eye. and his family. Thanks Mark, keep the videos coming and God Bless you and your family.
Prayers for you Diana!
❤️🙏😊🙏❤️
Virtual hugs and good wishes to you!
Speedy recovery ♥️
This baby is always quiet and chilling😂😂
Athens is my dream city since I am so into Greek Mythology and History. Thank you so much Mark, Ying and Micah for letting me experience it with you guys through this video.
Excellent narration as ever Mark 👍👍👍💕💕
Not long ago in another video i comment "Mark you should come to Greece" and you did it :) thnx for your good words for my country next time i hope i can make you a home made dinner to die for :) god have you and your family strong and healthy Mark...
These cold days in the north I long for Greece.. What I love the most is that whether you go to the mainland or one of the beautiful islands, it's always something new - a new local twist to the ever-so-great food. I've eaten some of the best stews in Crete, some of the best meat dishes in Athens, and possibly the best greek salad in Chios and a fava bean stew to die for in Lesvos. Not to forget the hole in the wall restaurant in Rhodes gave me the most wonderful gyro experience. But wherever you go, great people and great food.
The food looks amazing. I wish i could visit Greece some day and try all those food. Love from Thailand.
YEAH YEAH YEAH
Well we'll be visiting Thailand next February...actually cant wait watching mark Weins eating at all that streetfood markets ...awesome
I Love my country,
It 's Not only the food!
There are billions reasons to love Hellas (Greece)!!!

A great country who gave the world so much, really friendly people , they are so nice
As a Romanian i really like Greek food its one of my favorite
I have always wanted to go to Greece! The people seem so friendly and the history is so rich.
Cara Rexroad You should definitely come here its beautiful!
Come you will feel like home here. You will be home actually , people will regard you as a friend and not a tourist and a bag of money. All you need is a genuine smile , that is all.
the most friendly people in greece and in italy!!!!!!
@greg oscar Well , you're not different , so your comment is pointless .
@greg oscar you are just a pathetic kiddo
You have a beautiful baby nd your wife is cute God bless you all.
👍🌶Love love love the veggie Greek food .
I would love to travel to Greece. The bread reminds me of our Savior Jesus Christ & Athens reminds me of His apostles.
Thank you for sharing this great adventure.👍

The lamb is made with lettuce and is called "fricasse". My mother used to make it, but my wife does not know, I'm crying.

Micah's a traveler, just like his dad. 😊 I loved how he was grabbing at the tablecloth, trying to get at the loaf of bread! I hope you can taste food together someday soon.
Revina Que Where is Micah from..?
I love your positive always smiling attitude... Its people like you that bring the world together. Cherish that beautiful family you have.

anastasia profitou Anastasia I am about to visit your country and I am super excited! I have a question for you: how much I can get away with English? I didn’t get to learn Greek , I don’t think I will have enough time tho.
@@matheka2011 You'll most likely get away with english. Sure we have an accent but they understand english so no worries. 👌
Der Alex thank you so much!! I’m counting down!
I love your travels Mark. Thank you for this trip to Greece. I've never been there but it feels like home in my heart. Much love to you & your family. May you keep inspiring us.
Love love to watch your over and over again
Especially Greece 🇬🇷 food are my favorite
Damn those Greeks are good looking. Both males and females.
The most beautiful woman I've ever seen (besides my mother) was in Athens. Greek men are consistently handsome as well.
Swedish War Goat XD i guess thats why the old gods still stick around
i'm greek but where do you see them in this video? or you are talking in general?
dokanyon in general

I love Greece from srilanka 🇬🇷🇱🇰
Wow, they were working on the acropolis in 2010 when I was there, too. Love the food in Greece - the best food I had in Europe (also Spain). It's one of my most favourite places on earth. Huge part of my heart is still in Greece. I can't wait to go back. Maybe next year!
Yep! They are working at one side at a time so the place can still be visited. They are working slowly as this is a very sensitive project. Projection for completion is 2020 I think..
They are working on the Acropolis since the 70's or something... I don't think they will ever stop... haha
you need a good diet first🤣 .... then in Greece be sure you 'll take back double kg haha... it's so hard to choose between our dishes and sweets as well.... good luck and wish you be back in Greece soon 😊
I saw an interview with the lead archeologist, and she estimated the reconstruction will take more than 20 years from the time of filming the reportage.. It was something with the stones only fitting to a single spot because they are all a few milimeters rounded so they appear straight from afar making it a huge puzzle..
Hope ill be alive to visit it fully reconstructed!
Restoration started at the 70s and will keep on till 2025 or 2030. It is unavoidable as work is extremely sensitive while making accurate lost parts is like matching a 3 d puzzle
I love the greeks they are so nice (: and there food makes me feel cozy 😍😛
Expensive..locals would pay half that
I actually can't wait to go back to Greece after lockdown here in Australia. Greek people have go to be a very strong and prided culture of people. Direct and down to earth no bullshit aside. They tell you what they think, they are happy to help you, they are hospitable, they do not care who you are, you are always welcome. The children of most Greek people are mature and respectful of elderly people, help their neighbors like no tomorrow. The Greeks are also very intelligent, I mean the foundations of mathematics and science comes from there.They are all about family and helping each other. Thats why even though they had an economic crisis, they survive, because they know how! I love the Greeks they are by far my favourite people and I have visited over 80 countries.
And once again I make the mistake of watching before bed -_-
I did it too😁
The food is mouthwatering, the videos are great, and Mika’s cameos are fun. Best show on RUclips!
I lived in Athens for two months in 1998. This video totally took me back. Such a great city! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This video is really amazing Mark 😊 Seeing you with your son while you explore Greece 😍 God Bless you!
Greece beautiful country hello from turkey east
@@vaggosexasteros6345 why.??
OMG I'm needing some greek food! I lived in Athens for 2 months back in 1981. This brought back so many memories. I must say of all my travels, Greece has the best food ever!
Greek people they same nice 💕
I love to see mark how mark explain the food and apreciate food from many countries. And he's a nice husband also a nice father ..salute 👍👍👍
Such delicious foods and what a lovely city. I cannot believe that this city is right on our European doorstep and I (Maxi) have never been there! Maro has lived 15 years on Crete so she cooks these foods very well at home and I love them. Safe travels to you all wherever you are! Best Regards from Maxi and Maro.
Love from india 🌸💖
This is the video that i am waiting for! The famous acropolis! You can visit more historical sites in Athens like Hadrian arch and the temple of olympian zeus. If you still like the Olympic history, do visit an ancient site in Olympia where the torch lighting ceremony is carried out using the traditional sun method.
Yong De Tan I have been to the ceremony multiple times; it's awesome to see. Also they often ask school students to carry the torch as well (for a small distance)..very cool.
See you eat delicious, great and great
Thank you Mark Weins and family.
Greece loves you!
My most favourite cuisine is Mediterrenean (Greek).
🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷
Also, my dear friend, Greece is orthodoxy. Read about it. Just a line...
*Mediterranean
Eat Greek everyday to be healthy and long lived.
Micah is such a curious face, he is very observant.
Micah is getting bigger n bigger with no hairs hahahahaha
Ifra Faiz aaaaw poor thing😂 My cousin was pretty much bald until she was 4😂 then she got the nicest hair ever!
Sanae K who is your cousin? Is it reimu?
I wonder if he'll have a dark chestnut coloured hair?
Long time ago I lived in Greece. I was very young and beautiful and alone , Greek people very respect women and I feel safe.Thank you
You just made me wanna visit Greece which I haven't seen so far. I am sure there is more to see there besides delicious food. Love from Turkey !!
Also, my dear friend, Greece is orthodoxy. Read about it. Just a line...
Wow!!! We must visit here. Love the simplicity of place but look how solid is food. Sardines house wine from barrel and it comes with ice tray to keep it cool!!! Just wow! I love Greeks and Greek food. Lovely people! Love from Turkey
Come my brother, you will feel like home. Trust me. Ordinary Greeks love Turkish people and vise versa.We are the same , we yell , we laugh , we hug each other all the time. I wanna visit your beautiful country one day too. Never had the chance.
