I loved Greece. I have Greece since my first history lessons in 1960. It has been a long romance. ELLAS!
Me too
Bless you! I like how you said Ellas instead of Hellas which I actually hate cause it contains the word hell.
@@horiyosi3309 you know what it means the word Ellas? It means the decendens from the Gods
EL-LAS tow different words which meen The Country of The Light !!!! EL meens the ground , the Country and LAS meens the lights, the sun !! Have a good time in my country and make beautiful memories for future!!!!

I’m a big fan of that life style now.
@@abrahamadventures6688 the problem is the last 15 years greece is for holidays not to live in greece salaries are ridiculus low while cost of life is higher than what it was 15 years ago...greece is good for tourism but thats it...

Welcome to that country of the World (apart from New York !!!!) that almost all the country never sleeps !!!! As many say I will have plenty of time to sleep when I will die !!!
Thanks for the response! We had a great time and am going back again this year.
its not that Greeks never sleep. its that many other countries, mostly central and nothern Europe sleep too early.
We used to drink morning coffee 11 clock the nigth to go out until the next day lol
You guys are nuts Lol
Everyone who comes to Greece i always tell them, besides Athens and Thessaloniki that are big cities, every other city in Greece and the islands are the safest place on earth. Zero crime, almost no people on the streets. If you can make money online, the best thing you can do in your life is to have a family and raise your kids in a very small town in Greece with 5.000-50.000 people. Your kids will play outside all day and meet neighbours, the quality of food is the best, the people are very welcoming. Picture how safe it was in the 60s or 70s. It is so safe, i actually keep explaining it to Americans and Canadians and they still don't believe me.
I believe you at no point do i ever feel threatened there. Thank for the input.
True..
The less touristic a place is, the safer it is. I stayed for 2 years in Preveza city. There were times I’d forget to lock the door to my apartment but I was so sure nothing would happen. Plus it’s a great feeling to know that you can go for a walk alone at 2 am without fearing that you’d get mugged or harassed. And yes, night begins after 10pm - 11pm in Greece
Very romantic thoughts, but reality is unfortunately different. I wouldn’t go, especially with young children, to live in a small town in Greece. Mentality of people, hmm…For holidays etc., ok…
Hahaha as a greek I can say we kill 3achother daily and kidnap eachother...you know albanian and greek cartel etc etc...but yes the school system doesn't produce mental health crisis and in greek society we embrace qualities and values...even gangsters don't harm population they only fight eachother
Greece= MAGIC COUNTRY 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

If you are disturbed, just join the party, have a drink or two, make friends and have fun. Do something you wouldnt normally do. Forget everything and do not sleep for one night, sleep in the morning or the evening. It's ok, you're on vacation.
Oh we did lol
@@abrahamadventures6688 I kinda meant it generally, but *Im really glad you did !*
A big like for also the music you chose.

Such a beautiful country! ❤😊
Nafpaktos , very close to my place , western Greece is so beautiful and underated ...
I am glad you liked it. Greece has many treasures to be found. May you visit again!
I love it when I see tourists come to our country and love it as much as we love having them
Greece is just a big disneyland that serves western tourists.
thanks so much
You mean you love their money 💰
@@Unexpectedperspectivesnow you have obv. never visited Greece to understand why i said what I said. That's ok, keep on hating mate.
The only country on earth, where the traffic-jams are at 6 o´clock in the morning (when the people indeed have to go to their beds... )
Not exactly. It's just that our jobs usually start at 7.30 - 8.00 am and some even earlier. In most countries schools and jobs start at 9 o' clock
Well, most Greeks do take a nap in the afternoon, after work and when they go out, it is after 10 or 11pm until...
It always depends of the day of the week of course.
Night Life in Greece, rally means Night, after all earlier is too hot during the Summers.
I get the hot that's for sure
This is my hometown. I am a university student in a different city now and I’m feeling really homesick right now😢.
I’m so happy that my beautiful hometown is finally getting the recognition it deserves.
I’m glad you enjoyed it ❤
There are plenty of other hotels. You should check out floisvos hotel or nafs
I am from Nafpaktos too living in NY
I'm from naupaktos or epaktos (dorian name) too!
8:05 Goran-Bregovic-music, like in the soundtrack of "Arizona Dream" (Johny Depp, Faye Dunaway)
The particular one is called Ederlezi and it's from a great film called "Time of the gypsies", I really like Bregovic's music, I wish he was more popular in the western world :)
@@ap4777 I know time of the gypsies, It´s decades that i´ve seen it, and didn´t know that the music comes from there, but bregovic´s signature cannot be overlooked
Yup, we particularly love Goran Bregovic in Greece and all over the Balkans of course.
How wonderful!!!!
Thanks
Looks amazing! Nice work.
Thanks for watching!
Goran Bregovic soundtrack in a Greek town, heart warming :)
We love him over here
Greeks l❤ve Goran Bregovic
Goran Bregovic is a pan-Balkan symbol. Everyone loves him here lol.
Welcome to the land of Gods.They are still here hidden somewhere.Enjoy.
love Greece
My hometown...so many memories..all my childhood was passing in front of my eyes while watching your video..thank you ❤
My pleasure 😊
The country is beautiful for a holiday, that's all.
I love you and I miss you Greece so much!!!!
Either you go straight to work in the mornings or you sleep until 12 midday and straight to the beach afterwards. It's the greek charm, enjoy it! I love Nafpaktos, is one of the most noble small towns/villages you'll find.
When in Greece, I use to stay asleep all night and sleep at the beach 😂. I try to use my time effectively and do as many things as possible simultaneously. Sleeping while sunbathing. Living life at the fullest. 😍
hello dear friend, in greece after the fun we go straight to work many times, it's something common 🎉🎉 welcome 🇬🇷💙
Thanks so much we love Greece and have a few good friends that live there. Thank you to the Geek people who we very gracious to us. please subscribe to our channel if you don't mind.
Been to Edessa, beautiful. Yes, it is true, people in most of Greece seem to not going to sleep. Streets were deserted from 10 or 11 AM until late in the afternoon. The party started around sundown until morning. I don't know how they managed to go to work, although many slept a few hours in the morning and then again in the afternoon.
What a great video! I am so glad you enjoyed your stay here in our wonderful Greece....we welcome you back anytime. As long as I have lived here, one thing has always been clear...Greeks will prioritize a party over sleep any day of the week and twice on Sunday! That is why we have siestas between the hours of 3pm and 6pm - to allow us to keep partying the following day! 😉😉😉
What a great video,smells like summer and sea breeze,thaks !
Glad you enjoyed it
Loved this little vlog! For Greek cities that attract tourists, especially on the islands, summer season is the main time for their income production. Therefore, if a bar can be open 24/7 it will be open 24/7. So always look for accommodation that is not adjacent to a busy road or restaurants/bars.
Totally agree!
Thank you for this video !!!!
By the way, the streets are from marble. It’s common in Greece. On the island of Thassos is the same. I didn’t notice until an Italian friend mentioned it,. .
Very cool video brilliant thank you very much from Sydney Australia 😊😊😊
Summer nights are so amazing, how can you waste them on sleeping? We will sleep in winter! 😊
Είναι που κοιμόμαστε όρθιοι!!
😂😂😂
Love that bridge, we've crossedit multiple times on trip fro Corith to Delphi - one of my favourite places inthe word.
The Greeks afternoons aresacred,the village /town close & opens again around 5 /6,best suntan weather.
Yes,thay stay awake all night,caffinated to the gills.
OMG,the can be noisy at night. Athens is awake ALL night,it a total pary city. I always stay in same family hotel on 10th floor with a vast terrace,its in Omonia,near the museum & like all the centre of Athens,in walking distance of everything.
Ive been visiting zGreece for 45+ years & just love it. The only way to deal with their chaotic schedule is to just give in & go with the flow.
All the very best wishes to you&yours ❤️💯👋⭐️💯✌️
That's the hellenic vibe ppl! Go with the flow! Enjoy life, socialize, smile, sing, dance, love, create. Be human!
our schedule isnt chaotic. greeks with jobs families and responsibilities are always on the go to do duties etc, and have very limited time to enjoy themselves. I mean compared to what you tourists see in greece during the summer....most of the greeks you see there are either greeks on vacation, local youths or older pensionated greeks who have free time then. we just know how to have fun but our normal daily lives are far far from fun, esp with the crisis.
when you go out for the night you never forget sunglasses for the morning.I Know I was born there
I see that.
Nafpaktos or Lepanto.
Thanks for uploading ❤
your welcome thanks for watching
Greeks never sleep, they are never offended if you ask them to go out late at night, in general it is a common practice not to sleep early, and can put up a whole lot of noise like that. Once, in previous years a politician decided in favor of a bill that obligated clubs to shut at 3:30 on weeknights and I can't tell you how that went!
I am imigrant living at Netherlands , i have be in 5 countrys for long time there is Nothink like mother Land Greece .. the plan was clear send all young guys to Europe for work in big Fabrics and get from them 60% from salary for Taxes . We cant survive in Greece , we must working 12 hours for a normal payment . .. Greece looks Like Paradise , but living as young is Hell . I wish somethink will change and we can come back to Freedom .
Ναι είναι κόλαση τα εργασιακά. Σου εύχομαι ότι καλύτερο εκεί που είσαι
No we dont sleep. Especially in the big cities: Athens, Thessaloniki, Patra. Its normal here to go out for a drink at 22-23 o clock and there are days that we go for work in the morning only with 0-2 hours of sleep. Come again. Thank you for the video. We wait you again in Greece Abraham :)
Thanks for sharing!
THE MUSIK IN THE SQUARE IS EDERLEZI AMAZING SERVIAN SONG
For your next trip that excludes the islands, I recommend driving further north from Nafpaktos, to Epirus. You will love it.
we believe that sleeping time is lost time after all we ll sleep for good when we die :)
Indeed!
not true unless you are under 25 or something. most greeks I know love their sleep time.
@@riateor2243 im 63 and i sleep 5 hourw every day its the dna probably :)
@@nikolaosmarkouizos4597 the older someone gets the less sleep they need. its scientifically proven. my dad is 72 and sleeps 5 hours too.
So beautiful and Ρίο Αντίρριο
Έχω πάει τόσες φορές αλλά δεν απόλαυσα τα τόσο ωραία σκηνικά που μας έδειξες!

γιατί πας σε λάθος μερη
I LOVE YOUR VIDEO!
nafpaktos is a such a beautiful place to visit. Actually i have my own house there. I would highly suggest to visit monastiraki, a nearby village that has the most beautiful sea and the best seafood in the market.
No we actually hybernate in the winter so we can go out till 4 in morning in bars and clubs 😂
Great video my friend!
Thank you
@@abrahamadventures6688 You're welcome brother!
night is not exactly night in Greece, it's more like daytime but with moonlight instead of sunlight.
actually this nightlife is especially in the hot summer months ,because during daytime it is most times just too hot to walk around. and sometimes the only people you see during daytime are tourists, especially in the cities. of course at the beach it's sth different 😊🏖️🌊
Subbed. A Greek with love.
lovely greece!
very happy you liked it. but i really hope you went to delphi from nafpaktos.
sounds like a plan for this year
Hey thats my hometown! Really glad you enjoyed it! It was first recored in history around 1100 bc when ancient Greeks form mainland (Dorians) decented into Peloponesse, they stoped here to make their ships! Hence the name Nafpaktos wich means ship yard (Nafs = ship + paktos = make).
Nau (Naf) + poio + aktos = naval making bay (I'm from there too!). Eupaktos according to the Dorians (good bay)
I walked that bridge on the evening before its official opening in 2004. I've stayed in Nafpaktos often. I'm afraid your hotel is in party central. Try the two beachfront areas to the west (Psani) or to the east (Gribovo). Hotel Akti has a good, longstanding reputation. These areas might also be noisy, but not as noisy as the hotel you stayed in. Oh, most places have air-conditioned rooms now so you can close the windows and get some quiet. Outside the summer months it's much quieter with fewer people. I was there in September 2022.
We are going back this year is there a hotel you recommend more then anther there?
@@abrahamadventures6688 great video of beautiful Nafpaktos, so well done. I would recommend hotel Nafs at the west beachfront (Psani). Hotel Akti is a great choice on the east beachfront) (Gribovo) as gpan62 mentioned. Hotel Nafpaktos and Hotel Lepanto also in Gribovo. Wishing you a marvelous time when you ago again to Nafpaktos
For the greek people here y'all know the feeling seeing your country on yt
thanks you for your kind words as Greek American god bless you
you as well
Beautiful video!!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I’m from 🇬🇷 🇬🇷🇬🇷❤️❤️ and I’m very proud about my country 💞💞💞💞
Ok relax
thank you
@@frikaleoteras why relax? What are you mean?
bro you are the best
used to go there when i was young. my cousin used to rent and study there and my family went there a couple of summers. really nice place.
So cool!
Go to bed 😂😂😂😂
❤🔥❤the time is now,..... sleep time is later,...
Love from Athens 🇬🇷
hahaha we do sleep ....just not much :)) glad you had some fun times :)
We did have a great time! Coming back this year too!
@@abrahamadventures6688 always remember that if you want to see the true greece you visit small towns like the one you went. Big citys like Athens dont have the lifestyle of true greece....to many forein people there too many different culturs
4 am traffic at the central roads of Athens on weekends is a frequent thing.
I love it
I am Hellinida. 😊🙏🏻
And yes if you do the tours not in ilands but in the rest lamd you will find amazing places.
And wherever you find yourself on this wonderful Earth, the sea, a beautiful beach will be waiting for you at a maximum distance of 70 km 🙏🏻
You are welcome 😊
The only thing that you will need is your smile 😊
And yes we dont sleep in greece the summer.
It is the sun and the atmosphere here that gives us rest 🙏🏻
Thanks for the tips!
Greece has no "Bars/clubs close at x time" policy. If you come to Greece and rent above a bar or many bars, you kinda shafted yourself there if you were looking to getting any sleep. I'm a local and I always book my hotels/places to sleep FAR AWAY from main attraction areas. When I was younger that wasn't an issue ofc haha, enjoy!
True. Clubs start! At 1.00am until sunrise lol
Well we had for a long time. At some point in the 80s it was decided the clubs/bars close at 3 am. I don't know if this law still exists.
When I am exhausted and feel sleepy, not even bombs can disturb my sleep!
greek sleep middays between 3-6 and work before and after .
then at around 8 they go home eat and go out for a coffe frappe or freddo espresso at 10.
at 12 they go into a bar or club and at 3 they go home to sleep because they have to work at 9.
every day the same treadmill
how is it the same drill for everyone? lol. I work at 7 in the morning, certainly cant go home at 3 am or else I wont be waking up for job in the morning.
@@riateor2243 well some have to serve the ppl who have the same drill , i guess ;)
bro ela na mojaroume !!!!😘🤪🥵🥶🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖
nai bro ela na mojaroume
I live in Patras the 3d biggest town in Greece , across Nafpaktos. I have to tell you i can easily go on vacations to Nafpaktos every year. Its so special. Especially if you visit also the villages around it. Feel free to pm me next time you visit our place!! Cheers!!!
I may take you up on this
Greece I Love You🇬🇷🧿💕
Nafpaktos attracts the nightlife from Patra and the surrounding areas. A few years it became party city.
For us Greeks, sleeping, is waste of time.If you sleep 8 hours a day, while you are at your 90 years old, hello, you lived only 60 years😂😂😂😂😂.
Under that very big mulbery tree you can sit and drink your coffee ( I did) or drink ouzo with snacks. All day long.
Naupaktos is a sleepy town … and yes we sleep at midday …
Im glad you enjoyed it but the video showed only the places around hotel..you have many left to enjoy!
Ill be back
And the reason there is such a night life is because it gets quite hot during about half of the year, so it’s perfect temperatures at night!😉😉
We have different time schedule at Saturday night. You won't see greens partying or drinking beers etc at 5 and 6 pm. We start from 10 pm (warm up/relaxing) and the real fun parties etc start from 1am. If you go to a club at 11pm it will be empty
Of course we sleep sometimes we go out until it gets rly late
We sleep in winter sometimes 😁
You are right, Greeks do NOT sleep. I visited Athens a few years back. We stayed a few miles outside Athens. My host was my cousin; he finished work at 3pm, took a siesta until 4:30 or 5pm. Then preparation for the evening began... we would go from a bar to another one until 4AM... he would go back home, sleep a couple of hours, then go to work... and back to the same cycle. I did not work and got tired. The music at the cobble stone piazza is a gypsy song - I happen to know that because of a movie from a Yugoslavian director - a great, but sad song about the life of the gypsies.
Υou're right my friend."Ederlezi is a popular traditional folk song of the Roma people in the Balkans and it's the main theme of "Time of the gypsies" by Emir Kusturica.
The song got its name from Ederlezi, which is a festival celebrating the return of springtime. Ederlezi is the Romani name for the Feast of Saint George. Many Balkan countries tend to share similar folk songs but with different lyrics. If you ask me this song catch totally the culture and the essence of the Balkans. We hope to see you again in Greece and sing and dance together all night long.
I like it. They also did it well.
@@iliasstefanis Sure, my family comes from the region. We visited last year, and most probably are coming back next summer again. Na eínai kalá.
Sure, never did any chores or anything around the house....
how old is your cousin. im 33 and ever since i started working at 27 I havent ever been able to do that.
GOOD BINTEO OF GREECE
Oh....man....you really should have walked up that fort.
The view is SUPERB day and night.
Also the name of the place is Nafpactos. (The place were ships are build. Made my the Spartan army in one of their expeditions to make ships and cross the sea back to home.)
We did go to the fort and the view was awesome. Had some dessert up there too very good. thanks for the info
@@abrahamadventures6688 nice...👍👍
Yes we sleep in the afternoon 2-6
i was a college student there !!
we sleep a lot in the afternoon thats why we have so much energy at night lol
The program goes sleep at morning wakeup at noon repeat
I am from Greece and.. Yes we dont sleep.
Ikaria,....❤
DO try to get some sleep on the first floor of the Ainos Hotel in Argostoli, Kephalonia main square! 😅
We sleep, but less... Cause we work a lot.. So we need to take the edge off
Nafpaktos is one of the nicest if not the nicest city in mainland Greece!
I agree from what I have seen so far!
Nafplio is probably the nicest city on mainland Greece. 2hours from Nafpaktos.
I will defiantly check that out Nick
@@abrahamadventures6688 yes, Nafplio was the first capital of Greece and it is a majestic town.
No we don't 😂😂 LOVE from Greece 🇬🇷 ❤❤
Sleep deprivation is our secret to a long, healthy life
This is how a normal citi should be. I lived in many places like NY, London, etc and all are weird

Thanks friend 🙏. 🥰❤️😊
me a greek this not sleeping is very normal we just party and party
Greece was never in sleep .24/7 party till 2007 . Our Night life has been destroyed and our fun . We are more european now. We work more ,get payed less and no fun.
There are 2 day times per day in Greece : The Greeks take a nap in the afternoon. Most shops close. Many also have two full time jobs. One in the morning and another in the evening.
What, do you actually expect as to sleep as early as 2am? I don't sleep before 4 most nights.
