    Greece is my homeland and my Greek name is Vasiliki that is the female name of Vasilis that is actually the name of our Santa Claus... (not Santa Nicolaus... but Santa Vasilis!!!). From his name is the cake of the first year Vasilipita, that translated into the pie (=pitta) of Vasili (Vasili+pitta=Vasilipita).
    For the Greeks Nicolaus is the Saint of the sea and sailors... not Christmas!!!

    Mount Athos or Agio Oros has also another name 'the garden of the Virgin Mary ' this is the reason that women aren't allowed. Because the only woman that allowed is the Virgin Mary and none other in her garden. The only other female is cats and that is for the mice.
    in history women have been allowed to enter when seek shelter from massacres and persecutions but must leave when the danger pass.

    98% Greeks? Well the official 2011 census data showed that 90% were Greek citizens and with 10% non-Greek citizens. Same census showed that 12% of the population was foreign-born. Greek census does not ask about ethnicity and religion since these are considered private data by the Greek law, it only asks for citizenship and place of birth.

    You state that modern Olympic games were held "once again in Athens". The ancient ones were never held in Athens. There are some facts that your research was poor. Most of them are correct, don't get me wrong, but i think you could have found "cooler" facts if you did the work.

    ,,Hellas‘‘ and ,,Greece‘‘ is not the same!! Please avoid the spread of false information! ,,Hellenism‘‘ is a practiced way of life! The modern Greek State ,,Greece‘‘ was founded in 1830. The only thing that units today's ,,Greeks‘‘ is not Hellenism, but the Christian Orthodox faith! Tosk-Albanians and Arvanites (the only inhabitants of ancient Greece and founders of the modern Greek State) were called by Herodot ,,Pelasgians‘‘. Their territory was called ,,Pelasgia‘‘! For those who don't believe me, I advise you to do a DNA test. My family has lived in what is now Greece for over 25,000 years

    @artthanos5515 Год назад

    Nice video. 18:28, but um actually we do wave our hands whilst saying hello. If we want to gesture an insult with our hands, we'll most likely abruptly move our palms as far away from our bodies possible with our fingers one apart from the other. There is also a common variation where we stick one hand behind the other to give it more emphasis.
    When doing a "Μούτζα" (moutza) (the insulting hand gesture), nobody waves their hands. So don't be afraid to wave at Greek people, because they'll know for certain from the hand movement that it's only a friendly way to greet them.
    Edit: 19:04, fun fact, I barely ever hear "ώπα" (οppa) being used my natives in Athens, but if I do it's most often a reaction to something that went slightly wrong or something that lightly shocked them. It is used quite a lot in the country side in celebrations when people are dancing. Tourists actually use it much more often and usually when having a good time drinking at a taverna.
