Finally someone did it...!!! As a Greek I wanna thank you for exploring and showing to the world this side that foreigners ignore
Oh wow that is a great compliment thank you ❤️
As a foreigner living in Greece for the past 10 years, I admire greatly what you've done here :) I am almost brought to tears. You've clearly fallen in love with the country and the people in the same way I have :) I look forward to your future adventures, wherever they may take you!
Wow that is really nice to hear thank you! We really loved Greece much be really nice to live there
Yes, it is very important to slow down, otherwise you will burn out. We travelled for 3.5 years. Travel for 6 weeks and then 3 weeks off. Just stand somewhere, just make sure you have food, fuel and water. Cheers Rolanda ❤️
Yes we still didn’t do that long on one place but noticed that if we stay for two nights we recover and enjoy the rest of the week again.
Brilliant guys . How can someone have negative comments just amazes me . Keep up your journey & give kisses to lui 🐾🐾🥰
Thank you very much 😊❤️
the worst mistake I made on my long term travels (with a bicycle) was: too much hurry, too much speed. you´re 100% right when you take youre time! and thanks for choosing "the other routes" - it´s great to follow you on these tracks, thank you for the hard work filming & editing!
Thank you very much! Yes we are still struggling with taking our time hope to improve a bit there 😊
Greece is heaven. The immense diversity of landscapes is just stupendous. Ofcourse this video only highlights a tiny fraction of Greece's immense diversity of beauties, but the fact alone that Greece lies on 4 tectonic earthplates coming together in Greece (the Asian plate, The African plate, The European plate anda 4th plate crushed inbetween), results in a very complex geography and topography with 80% mountains. Every mountain in Greece is different. And so many different landscapes, seascapes mountainscapes and so forth. I have been 60 times to Greece to know these beauties and still exploring many new areas I never seen before on the mainland, as well as I have only seen 15 islands of 6000.
That is for sure. Unfortunately we didn’t had more time to explore the rest. But like we said you can spend months hear and still be surprised 😍
Nicely filmed.never knew such beautiful mountains in Greece😊
Thank you it is beautiful 🤩
what a beautiful country - stunning beaches and as you showed us, beautiful and diverse landscape. Thank you for getting us there (even through video :))
Definitely thanks for watching ❤️
Congratulations for this amazing video guys! 😄
Thank you ❤️🥰
use your winch to move the rocks. Beautiful and inspirational.
Haha yes definitely have to try that 😂
Brilliant guys...
Thank you!
Greece is wonderful, Many different sceneries from mountains, seasides and rivers. I could say that is the Heaven for trips like that with free access. (Many countries don't allow free access to mountain roads)
You came in a season than has almost no tourism and this males the trip even better.
I have to say that many things that appeared in the video, are against the law, and this must be known.
I.e. lighting a fire in the summer by the Forrest, driving by the sandy seaside you could brake turtle's eggs, and sleeping by the seaside.
You can understand what mess would be, if 5, 10 or even more cars would come and do the same things like you and trying to sleep by the sea.
Have always safe journeys!
Yes you are right, we understand your concerns. Thanks for leaving a comment 😊
Amazing video❤ hello from Greece
Thank you ❤️
Outstanding. That’s going to be one hell of an adventure driving a quarter of the way around the world. I salute you.
Thank you so much to do 😍
Guys, what a wonderful journey what a lovely country.... my country. I have made exactly the same road trip at 2023 with my ❤️ and it is still in my mind. If I could I would be for the rest of my life on this roads getting knowing people we meet villages we visited, the spots we loved to make photos......
Lisa and I will always be on the Road just as you do.....
So awesome to hear you also enjoyed it so much. Best memories ❤️
Good on you for living life!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us!
It is truly inspiring!
Thank you that is really nice to hear!
Thank you for an amazing production guys! You are again most welcome to visit! Plenty of places to explore! Even Crete is a whole chapter!
Thank you! On our way back we will definitely visit Crete!
Wow.. thank you so much for sharing ur adventures. Its truly breathtaking. Story telling was on point too😊 U guys are awesome!
Safe travels♡♡
Thank you that is really good to hear!
You both really enjoy the rhythm of overlanding with all the amazing view. Waiting for your next video. Dont give and keep going.😀
Thank you, yes we mostly love it hahaha!
Welcome to beautiful Greece with your beautiful beast.
Thank you 🇬🇷❤️
We are an adventurous lot us dutchies. I have just come back from a trip to the outback in Australia. Enjoy guys. This trip as overlanding trips goes will change your life. Mongolia is so beautiful. One of the most beautiful countries we have been to so far..86 and counting. Groetjes Rolanda ❤
Wow that is awesome to hear, we are thinking about extending the trip and go to Australia. Absolute dream but it is hard with Lewie 😅
Bringing all the memories back! Greece already seems like such a long time ago 🙈Beautiful Cape Sithonia! Lovely video Orla & Patrick! & Lewie ofc 😉
❤❤❤
Don't worry.. by the tours end, you will both be master mechanics ;)
Enjoyed the video.
Hahahah big change Patrick still isn’t 😂
Another brilliant video and I love to watch them! ❤
Thank you that is great to hear 🥰
Beautiful shots thanks for sharing!
Thank you awesome to hear ❤️
Great videos, you guys deserve much more views. Keep up the good work, always love to see your adventures!
Thank you very much, we can upload more frequently now maybe that helps 😃
So beautiful movie of your trip. Thank you
Awesome to hear thank you 🙏🏻
Beautiful and so much more lies ahead of you
Yesss 🔥
Outstanding film guys! Makes us want to put Greece on the list for sure.
That is such an compliment coming from you guys 😍
Wow…jullie leven mijn droom. Wij genieten van jullie prachtige avonturen met Lewie en de TD5💪🏼 heel veel fun met jullie reis en tot de volgende video
Wat leuk om te horen dankjewel 🙏🏻 we proberen nu elke zondag iets te doen 😎
Wij kijken er nu al naar uit!
Geweldige video! Jullie film kwaliteit is top notch
Dankjewel goed om te horen 🥰
Looking forward ! Beautiful picture
Thank you let us know what you think 🥰
I watched the video with my morning coffee today and just realized that I actually passed you guys on the highway in direction Alexandropolis! I even took a picture of the Defender, haha. Have a safe trip in Turkey!
Ahahaha what a coincidence! So cool you found our video! Thank you 😊
Wat een fantastisch verslag!! Ze worden steeds mooier! Op naar Turkije !!
Dankjewel leuk om te horen 🤩
This is fantastic, have a great trip. 👍
Thank you 🙏🏻
Just wow!
😃
Ohhh, I was in the place from the first shot twice. Great spot, definitely one of the coolest places I've ever been to. I was there for over a week until water supplies ran out. Greetings from Poland :)
That is awesome definitely one of our favorite 😍
I see some (mostly US) commenters are forgetting most of the world don't have recovery service within 20 minutes :- ) It's better be safe than sorry as few minutes of rock-crawling glory can side-track week(s) of adventure. You get stuck in Rubicon, there are 20 jeeps behind you. Not so much in Europe/Asia.
Yes and it’s our home on wheels. We still need it in one piece for the rest of the world 😊 so we always have to keep in mind if it is worth the risk
Hi,thanks for filming🖖
A pleasure 😍
Simply amazing. Greetings from Ireland!!!
Thank you 🍀
After all that rock work the views were great, but I think the beach was a lot more relaxing.
Defiantly but it was a beautiful combination 😃
Well worth the wait!! Your videos are so awesome. Lewie is cute as ever
Thank you 😊
I enjoyed your wonderful adventure with Defender.😊
Thank you good to hear ❤️
Loved to watch this! Keep it up
Awesome more will come 🫶
wow amazing video
@@crabbynebula thank you ❤️
Nice travels. Good on you guys.
Don't forget to use your winch for rock moving.
Thank you we will have to try next time!
Stunning😁
Thank you ❤️
This is so awesome ❤
Thank you 🙏🏻
Wow what a roads! Looks difficult to drive!
Thank you 🙏🏻
Awesome overlanding! 👏
Thank you 🙏🏻
@@lewieandtherover subscribed!👌
Love your content, such inspirational videos, thanks
Thank you 🥰
@@lewieandtherover your very welcome
Great adventure. I love your team work. We live in our van since October 2022 and our first trip was over the Balkans to Turkey. Turkey was disappointing due to even more garbage all over the places and the Kangal streetdogs were even more aggressive toward our dog than in Greece. So in Fethyie we decided to go back. Peloponnes was great, though.
Thank you very much! Ah that is sad to hear. We loved Turkey so much but indeed we kept our dog far away from those big boys 😖
@@lewieandtherover Ha, those big boys appeared sometimes from nowhere.
Great visuals and loved the video. No hate, but that Defender probably could have driven over some of the rocks you were moving. Don't be scared to use it's full potential! Lower tire pressure will do wonders. Go look at US or Aus 4x4 channels to see what a vehicle like a Defender with front and rear solid axles can do.
Thanks for the comment 🥰 we definitely don’t know the full potential. But we also have to keep an eye out because it’s our home and we still have to bring it half the world haha
Guys sorry if I say that. For big rock you can use your winch to move them instead of breaking your back. Half the rocks you moved away were easy to pass over with the Defender. I understand you were out there alone and maybe you didn't wanted to risk but this way you stopped your adventure too soon ;)
Great video
No worries! We have come a long way since this video. In Georgia we did a real rocky section together with another defender and we were confident to test the limits 🙌 We’ll upload the video in two weeks!! Let us know what you think
A very nice made overland film.
Thank you 🙏🏻
Excelente video.. do Brasil continue com trabalho.
Thank you very much 🇧🇷❤️
amazing video!
Thank you 🙏🏻
Great video !! Again 🙂
Thank you 🙏🏻
Zojuist heb ik jullie kanaal ontdekt, wat maken jullie mooie reizen! Wij hebben zelf ook Land Rover Defender 90 TD5 (2003).
Ik zag zojuist jullie video van de Balkan, het leuke is dat jullie volgens mij exact dezelfde wegen hebben gereden als wij afgelopen jaar ook hebben gedaan.
Wij waren daar begin juni en hadden dezelfde problemen met de sneeuwbanken als jullie hier hebben in Griekenland, wij konden de routes ook niet afmaken.
Super gave reis, we gaan jullie volgen!
Wat super leuk om te horen!
Wij vonden de Balkan echt fantastisch! Griekenland is ook echt een aanrader!
@@lewieandtheroverbedankt voor de aanrader, zetten we Griekenland ook op het lijstje!
Wie weet volgen er nog meer landen voor het lijstje nu we jullie volgen
Goede reis gewenst de komende maanden!
Aw nothing like a great dog and a land rover defender on some beautiful off road tracks . Awesome views and great video again you two . Cheers from Steve Stott in Sutherlin Oregon U.S.A. :) :) 🐕🦺:) 🌍🍻👍🏼😁P.S. awesome drone shots as well .😁
Thank you really good to hear!
@@lewieandtherover ..👍🏼😁
this is sooooo cool!!!!!
Thank you 🙏🏻
I can't believe you guys went to the hidden double beach in Sithonia!
Ha it is beautiful he!?
Nice video and your chocolate lab is adorable BUT I totally disagree with reaching beach with any car for any reason.
Thank you ❤️
petualangan yg sangat keren..
Thank you 🙏🏻
Loved every minute of your story.
May you have a happy and prosperous journey in life! Love from Greece!
p.s. For tips and hints in Greece, I offer pro bono services for your next trip! Courtesy of the Greek Filoxenia!
Thank you very much! We will be back in winter ❤️
Super Super ❤
Thank you 🙏🏻
Wow!! Planazo de la rana. Me volví mudo!! 😂 madre mia, como se os ocurre montar la mesa para comer en ese precipicio...!! 😮 vistas y planos brutales. No me rsperaba que Albert situase el dron de esa manera para hacer las tomas aéreas, alucinante. Os sigo viendo... 😅
Haha yes it is beautiful 😍
Πολυ ωραίο το βίντεο λατρεύω τον Λούη και μπράβο παιδιά που δείξατε την εναλλακτική μεριά της Ελλάδας.....Με πολύ ωραία μέρη πολύ ωραία τοπία!!! Η Πίνδος όλη με την θέα που έχει και μετά βουνά σου προκαλεί ένα δέος.....ακόμα και η Πελοπόννησος με την βλάστηση και πόσο κοντά μπορείς να βρεθείς από το βουνό σε μια παραλία σε απόσταση.....
Η τελευταία παραλία αν δεν κάνω λάθος είναι στην Χαλκιδική?
Yes we loved the mountains in Greece. Especially that you can go after beautiful beaches after some days of adventure 😍
Very nice video..
Thank you!
Nice car, nice traveling, nice couple
Thank you 🙏🏻
Mooie film. Volgende keer de lier met klapblok gebruiken om de grote stenen uit de weg te ruimen.
Haha zeker we hebben er aan gedacht maar waren al zo lang bezig en een paar 100 meter verder op weer hetzelfde probleem.
damn, the shot at 10:39 is beautiful
Well thank you 😊
What amazing scenery! Your vehicle is a lot more capable then you think, most of the rocks that you moved out of the way could have been driven over. Can't comment on if you could have driven the snow as I'm from Australia, but I think it would have been a challenge unless you have a lot of snow wheeling experience. Not trying to belittle you just hoping to inspire confidence in your wheeling. Good luck in all your adventures!
Thanks for the comment! We are definitely learning we can do much more then we think we can do with our little defender! In two weeks our Georgia movie will come out and you will see we did some more difficult things already we never imagined doing 😊🫶
Such a great country 🇬🇷!!You should have Hercules with you to help you with these giant rocks on your road😂! Amazing moments guys!!❤
Hahaha that is awesome!
Thanks
Well thank you very much this is so awesome! In this way we can stay on the road ❤️
Please keep share your amazing trip. Love it!
Beautiful places. Thank you for sharing with us!!! Can you share info for the last beach you show? At about 21 min.? Thank you again !!!!
Awesome thank you 🙏🏻 if you send us an e mail or dm we can send you the coordinates
❤❤❤❤❤❤
🇬🇷❤️
thank you for sharing this beautiful pictures with us! do you have a gps track of this trip? thank you so much and have a good trip!
Thank you very much we use an off-road book called pistenkuh everything is in there really recommend it
the views were spectacular and even more how you captured it and portrayed the whol story, what camera and lense you did use for this journey?
Thank you! We use an FX30 with SIGMA lenses: 24-70mm, 70-300mm, 14mm and a dji mavic 3 classic
You were lucky because the past winter was mild in Greece other years it’s impossible to pass through mountains until late may
Ah that’s a little luck for us then 🥰
Super nice! Just a ideia, i normaly use de winch to move big objects like a rock or a tree.
Thank you! Yes we definitely will try that next time 😀
This is awesome. Do you happen to record the track pf the expedition? Or do you have any source of tracks for overlanding? Thank you!
Thank you 🙏🏻 we used an off-road book from pistenkuh. We use books for every country because we are not really good at finding and preparing off road routes 😂
Hey guys nice video!! Next time you’ll come pm us to get you to some of the best spots in the North Greece!! Take care!!!
That would be awesome! 😎 we’ll definitely keep in touch! North Greece is still on our list 🇬🇷
🤩🤩😍😍
😍
Türkiye’ye hoşgeldiniz 🇹🇷
Thank you 🙏🏻
I love you Chanel
Thank you ❤️
Welcome to the land of freedom
Thank you 🚙
So, you have a 2t 4x4, a winch, sand ladder - and still can not figure out how to move a 'large' rock blocking your road... You better never leave the explored trail for the unexplored ;)
🤔😆
Frfr
I think you should probably keep quiet. At least they are out living life.
What are you doing…. criticising people.
Wow you have the life man👌
@@reynhardttheron6901 They simple just burning fuel (pretending living an explorer's life), this couple exactly the type of 'outdoor people' we need to rescue regularly from the hills - wasting our time and resources. My critic was right on the spot :D money can not buy 'outdoor spirit'. Take care @reynhardttheron6901! a mountain rescue team member for 35 years now... (now you know, what I do)
@9:41 @14:39 turning edgy/sharp rocks without gloves, barefoot in a sandal = easy way to cut yourself... @15:59 @18:13 'a winch is a nice, decorative part of a 4x4'... Burning fuel =/ 'free spirited outdoor life', and quite far 'caring for the Earth'...
Thank you for your vid. What is the dimension of your tires?
Thank you! It is 285/75 BFG
Καλησπερα δείξατε ωραία πράγματα είμαι από Ελλάδα και αυτό που μπορώ να πω είναι ότι είναι μια υπέροχη χώρα. Αλλά δυστυχώς με την πολιτική τον κομμάτων έχουμε μείνει πολύ πίσω σαν χώρα.
It is a really beautiful county! Unfortunately all countries have there problems ❤️
Hey guys, another beautiful video, great work! I was wondering, what hardware do you use to edit all the videos whilst travelling? Macbook, Ipad, PC, phone? Thanks!
Thank you! We use our old MacBook for editing 😊
@@lewieandtherover thanks
Amazing. Where do you get your tracks from?
We got them from an off-road book called pistenkuh ☺️
Wellcome to Türkiye.. have a nice adventure, holiday, trip whatever.. Nice to see you..
Thank you 🙏🏻
Привіт з України! Дуже сподобалося! Вам щастя та вдалих подорожей!!!
Thank you ❤️
Great video, you have my subscription! What is the name of the mountain top you tried to climb?
Thank you 🙏🏻 it’s next to Gerakovouni 2351m starting in pramanta towards theodoriana
@@lewieandtherover i will go there this year!
@@LubieMojeZycie awesome 😎
I am sorry to say that, but you guys have a long learning curve to go.
We can see that you bought the car, not built it. This Defender can do much more. Try to move the boulders with the winch for example. Don't worry about scratches. Use Low Range and just go.
Next time deflate tires with your car keys. One minute, one bar more or less :D
It’s ok to say that 😊 we know we aren’t experts. We are careful because this defender is our home on wheels and has to go to Mongolia and back with us 🙏🏻
@@lewieandtherover quickly order somehow the tire repair kit. There are spare valves and spanner for it. Same as puncture plugs and tools for that. Its basic kit. ARB make good ones.
Extraordinary over landing video. Wonderful experience you guys had.
Can you please tell the name of music from 16:50 ?
Thank you 🙏🏻 definitely it is called: against all odds from tik tak
@@lewieandtherover is it a copyright free music ?
@@anjansaripella no it is not 😔
@@lewieandtherover how did you use it then ? Didn't you get any copyright ? Is there any way to use ?
@@anjansaripella you can use this song via artlist
Welcome to PATRA...
Thank you 🙏🏻
Thank you 🙏🏻
80% of Greece are mountains, the islands was the mountains before the storms! welcome to Hellas!
Yes it is beautiful 🤩
