    My wife Stel and i watch every new episode each morning with coffee.
    In between episodes we watch one of your previous episodes which were uploaded before we discovered your channel.
    You both have become like family to us, as we are an old couple (70's) who have been married (49) years, and were never able to conceive children.
    In this episode, we could feel the frustration from Carol about her passport issues of always being singled out , and then later when we saw her almost decapitated by that careless boatman we were thinking, "this is not her day."
    I immediately told Stel that the tide had probably risen, thus causing such a close call.
    Please be careful on your adventures.
    We love you both, for who you are, and what you do.
    STAY SAFE 🙏

    Greece is extremely diverse in terms of landscape and culture, which is why it is so interesting. It's a small country, but endless in fact. If you have the impression of a blue white country, then you haven't seen anything, I am afraid.

    I was there and in Kas almost 40 years ago. I had a wonderful time. Everything has changed… There was no regular ferry service. Only boats around were fisherman boats that you could hire. Tourism was in its infancy. The nice thing was that there were few tourists.
    And the whole place seemed unspoiled.
    Glad that you are enjoying yourselves…
    Anyone planning to go to Greece this year…Please be safe. The weather is getting horribly hot every place, but especially in the Mediterranean. Hikers are dying from heat exposure.

    Lovely. Greece has 6000 breathtaking and unique islands aside a breathtaking mainland. The couple in the video also only just visited less than 0.01% of the total islands they visited and likely they know nothing of the Greek mainland.
    Hence I love all the "you dont know this or that Greek island."
    Greece is absolutely stunning. Too bad so many people miss out on 99% of Greeces many wonderful islands and even more so the mainland, full with 80% vast mountains and spectacular scenery.
    And Greece has many many architectural styles. Even on the Cycladic islands there are not just white houses with blue domes. It differs everywhere. For example Syros is the capital of the Cycladic islands and are very pompous in architecture.
    And dodecanese has many different styles architectures.
    And its different on many other island groups or on the mainland, differing in many regions.
    Try to travel a bit more across Greece. just visiting Mykonos, Paros and Santorini means truly nothing when you know all of Greece's diversity

  • @theopavlos6113
    @theopavlos6113 2 года назад +8

    The funny thing about Cyclades (central Aegean) islands is that in the past the houses there were not painted white cause, if they were, the pirates would locate the islanders' villages more easily and attack them. The "white houses" is a quite modern feature of Cyclades islands architecture. Probably it is a way to avoid absorbing two much sun heat.
    Also, it is worth noting that the population of Castellorizo in late 19th century was 10,000 people, but by 1920s about 8,000 had left the island to emigrate to Australia, mainland Greece, Egypt etc..

    Actually the ruins of a fortress are located at a different place on the island. The place you were visiting was not a castle but a Lycian tomb later included in the defense structures of the island capital.
    The military ships in the habour are an indication for the ongoing conflict between Greece and Turkey, especially regarding the border in this area

    As for the Italians, it was an Italian island in the period between the two world wars.

      The Italians bombarded the island in the second world war.

      @@ermioniburgess8720 Yes, in war operations because the allies had conquered it. That island was part of Italy from the end of the first world war until the second. ... In the Treaty of Sèvres the island was assigned to Italy and the Italian navy assumed it from the French on 1 March 1921,[15] but the treaty was never ratified. The Treaty of Lausanne confirmed the Italian claim on Kastellorizo, and the island - under the Italian name "Castelrosso" - was then integrated in the possession of the Isole Italiane dell'Egeo.
      Because of the Italian occupation, the island was not affected directly by the Population exchange between Greece and Turkey of 1923, but the forced emigration of the large Greek population living on the nearby Anatolian coast hit heavily the economy of the island. The 1932 Convention between Italy and Turkey, which defined the sea border between the two powers, assigned all the islets of the small archipelago around Kastellorizo except Ro and Strongyli to Turkey. During the 1930s it was a stopover for French and British seaplanes. During the Second World War, on 25 February 1941, in the course of Operation Abstention, British Commandos occupied the island, but Italian forces from Rhodes recaptured it some days later. After the British occupation, fearing a German invasion, some of the inhabitants fled to Gaza in Palestine.[20] When Italy capitulated to the Allies (8 September 1943), the island was occupied again by Allied forces, and it remained under their occupation for the rest of the war. In July 1944, a fuel dump caught fire, which spread to an adjacent ammunition dump, thereby destroying half of the homes on the island.

    Your travel vlogs really stand out from many out there ! Some little info here, if it
    helps : "Mandraki" means "little fenced yard" mostly to keep animals in.
    Many suggest that "Kastelorizo" derives from the Italian "Castello roso" (red castle)
    from back when Venetians held that area. It's a pleasure to watch your videos,
    keep them coming...

      And the Greek name of the island is "Megisti", which stands for "the biggest" or "Major", meaning that it is the biggest of that complex of islands there 😊
