      Kiosk or periptero. The origin of the kiosk. Created for men disabled by WW2 so they have work. After they die his family continues it.

      No sir unfortunately won't. Greece is a debt colony of Germany. Greeks Ard really being destroyed. Population reduced half a million from 2010 to 2020 because deaths are more than births not mention the people who immigrated. This haven't happened since WW2. If Greece stays at eurozone will not longer exists.

    I have relatives in Athens, and when my dad used to take us there back in the 70's and early 80's, the city was clean and well kept. I have not been there since, and even just by watching your videos, I can readily see the decline. Just look at how that park has been essentially abandoned. Graffiti was rare back then too. Clearly, Greece is hurting in so many ways.

    Hi Mark I love your work. Greece is a special place. I can see that you are so humble and show real interest and respect to the locals. Next time you are in Greece please do a self drive tour of the Peloponise and film all the amazing food you will eat . That will also be a great video.
