In addition to quite exceptional archaeological wealth, Athens is also a modern city. Proud of their beauty and a lifestyle protected, amongst other factors, by distance, the Greek islands each have their own personality. Crossing the Aegean sea, the film takes the viewer deep inside a lifestyle of exceptional quality. Brushing aside the clichés, Pierre Brouwers and his superb camerawork give a wonderful insight into eternal Greece, a fascinating backdrop to the country’s evolution into the modern era.
Geography of the islands. Economy. Population. Traditions. Everyday Life. Tourism.
ATHENS: the Ancient and Modern city. the Acropolis and major landmarks. Museum. Nightlife. Piraeus.
ISLANDS: Hydra. Poros. Aegina. Euboea. Mykonos. Ios. Santorini. Feast of Pentecost.

I wrote my comment 4 years ago, and today I stand by it - Greece is one of the most beautiful countries in the world, if not the most beautiful one. I distinctly remember sitting by the little port in Chora, Mykonos drinking some ouzo and letting time slip by while enjoying the exquisite colors of the water and everything else about this town, this island. I love just about everything of Greece. Utterly magnificent, majestic country!
we hope to see you again soon :)
@@theomarley9106 Thank you! I hope I can return to it one day. I miss such sublime beauty and majesty!
Mibello Aleman I agree with you 100 and 10 percent.....absolutely, positively majestic, magnificent and just totally awesome. Of course I was there at the age of 20 so that might have influenced my memory a bit, but I don't think so. Anyway, I spent over 24 years in the Air Force and travelled to approximately 120 differently countries throughout the globe. Prior to all the flying, in 1981 - 1982 (1.5 years) I was stationed at Hellenikon Air Base near Athens, Greece. Whether it is Australia, Egypt, Thailand, Germany, Spain, etc., etc., etc., etc., I think Greece has them all beat hands down. I tell everyone I know in the U.S. if you can take only one overseas trip in your lifetime let it be Greece. The sights, the sounds, the food, the people, the nightlife and on and on. Everything about my time in Greece was just magical. I never had a bad day. I just felt like I was surrounded by wonder and magic. Some of the happiest days of my life. Hopefully I'll live long enough to return some day. Folks, do yourself a big favor and put Greece on the very top of your bucket list. I promise you will not be disappointed. One of the few places on earth that exceeds your expectations and anticipation. Believe me.....just awesome and the people are magnificent and kind.
@@tonyhelton2788 Tony, thank you for your lovely comment. Finally someone agrees with me! Greece is the most beautiful, exquisite, majestic, magnificent and historically significant country on planet Earth! Italy comes a close 2nd, but the colors of this country will take your breath away. The color of its waters and all the marble are mind blowing. The monuments are so majestic that you can not believe such exquisite monuments were created thousands of years ago. When I first saw the Parthenon I cried. I could not believe such exquisite beauty existed. Yes, I had seen thousands of photos and movies of it, but that is nothing compared to actually seeing it in person. I simply could not believe it! It is the most BEAUTIFUL building, structure on earth!!! I was lucky enough to convince the security guard on duty (with his big rifle) to let me sit on its steps for a photo, with no one around, so I am all alone sitting on the most beautiful building. A perfect photo, which I treasure and I am glad I have it because I don't know if I will ever return to Greece. I am in poor health, so I don't know if I could make such a journey again, especially with all the virus spreaders infecting us who are trying to not get infected. My apartment is filled with souvenirs of it and all the walls are covered with my photography of it, and Italy, which I adore. I am jealous of you for having traveled so much but I am happy that you love Greece as much as I do. Just before writing to you I was writing a message to a wonderful lady in Athens who makes patterns of needle works I do and she refuses to let me pay her. She is typical of the beautiful Greek people, who are not only gorgeous, but they are so kind. So. EVERYBODY head out to Greece first before going to any other country like you said Tony, no one will regret it. Tony, thank you for your wonderful comment. It greatly cheered me up because I am feeling really ill. Forgive any typos because I am also losing my eyesight. You made my day! Keep an eye out for My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3, which is already filming and in Greece. Hopefully it will be release in early 2023. Oopa! Take care.
@@mibelloaleman Hey Mibello, You're welcome. It is nice to talk to someone who appreciates Greece as much as I do. Like I said, I was only 20 years old when I arrived in Greece and was stationed at Hellenikon Air Base near Athens. I lived there for 1 and a half years and that was the by far the best year and a half of my life. Of course, being just 20 years old only added to the excitement and wonder of the environment. It was like being in a whole different world. I grew up in Kentucky, so going to the beach was a novelty to me. I wondered how I had ever lived without it. Anyway, I'm getting old and tired too. Almost 62 and wondering where in the world all that time went to. I would love to visit Greece again too. If one of us wins the Lottery they should give the other a call. LOL Whataya say? Take care Felos. Tony
Very thorough and well done video. As someone who is considering moving to Greece, this was an excellent, informative, yet concise presentation.
@ashleysmith6394 Greece is a paradise... and its people a delight 💖

Exquisite, beautiful video of one of Earth's most gorgeous countries! Absolutely gorgeous and majestic country which I saw for myself and was awe struck by its magnificent and overpowering beauty, especially Santorini which is not to be believed and one has to pinch themselves to believe what their eyes is seeing! Greece is heaven on Earth!
Why rent apartments in Greece since you can buy them dirt cheap instead?

onde del mare,la bellezza
del paesaggio delle montagne,dei costumi d'epoca folcloristico,le
Agropoli sono suggestive,
I greci sono molto creativi,
sono molto disponibili.
Grazie mille ❤️ Enzo
Excellent.
I’ve visited Greece several times, islands and inland as well, and I return every summer to Crete, which I consider my second home!
I love everything in this country and I am not saying this as a tourist, though I know every country has its problems. 🇬🇷❤️
PERFECT from Σαντορίνη.👍🌍💘
Where? 😂
Santorini, Greece ❤️❤️❤️
I'm Moroccan ,I love greece
Yorg28 dude, don’t respond to xenophobes and racists... it is not worth it. :)
Excellent travel video... thanks
My bucket list.
Surely the most beautiful country on Earth? I was lucky enough to visit last year, staying in Piraeus.
Is Piraeus close to a lot of landmarks? Also how close is Athens?
@@stacyreed6798 It's just a bus ride away from the major landmarks, and Piraeus is the port of Athens so it's part of it.
@@mikeysaint4368 thank you I’m taking my daughter April 2024
@@stacyreed6798 I hope you have a great time! Unless you understand written Greek I'd suggest taking taxis because they're very reasonably priced. From my hotel to the ancient parts of Athens it was only about €7 or €8. The same distance in England would have been almost twice that.
@@mikeysaint4368 woooow ok. I’m planning on purchasing tours because it will just be easier for me but I can’t wait to go. I know it’s going to be amazing
Great documentary thanks
12.1.2023.Very good and best.💋❤.Thank you.
If you go to the Peloponnese, you should definitely do Nafplio, Monemvasia, Gythio and Mystra castle next to Sparta (and the Taygetos mountains next to Sparta and the Diros cave!!) all easily accessible with a road trip...villages by road trip: Arcadia: Dimitsana/Lagkadia/Karitena (Karytaina) and Kalavryta which has a ski resort good for winter!
Beautiful . Thank you
Greece has nice beaches, cities, islands and the best history I really need to visit this heaven on the Earth😊😊💙💙💙🤍🤍🤍🏛🏛🏛
Dear documentary,
You had me right there in the introductory musical piece
So nice place which makes me to dream living there all my rest of my life👍💐❤️
Nicely done! Just went to Greece for a couple of weeks and Athens really is one of my favourite cities! Meteora was also incredible. Now touring through Meso and South America to do some short travel docs overthere. Ever been there?
Ευχαριστώ πολύ κόλλημα Βουλγαρία και πληροφορίες για το πρόγραμμα και το γάμο τους την υπηρεσία που φέρει την επανάσταση του μήνα νοιάζει 😚😘😚😍 ξοδέψει πολλές άλλες κοινότητες 💓💙💕💕💖💝
Rhodes is in Greece too.good documentary btw
Very good picture
In Athens, try also the museum of Ancient Greek technology, the Pandora art gallery, the museum of Cycladic art, the Byzantine (medieval greek) museum...Dionysos restaurant acropolis, Kouzina rooftop, Balthazar garden, Galaxy rooftop, A for Athens and south in the beach side, Moorings Vouliagmeni, Island club, Balux,Bolivar, Penarrubia
Nice content, I subbed!
Amazing video!! Have a good day!
Everything looks great from afar. Grass is always greener at the other side of the fences!. 👍😀
Excellent...thanks, one day I' be there
With God grace 🙏
Greece looks so beautiful and full of history , I apologize for coming off as a pig but my God greek women are gorgeous!
Ελλάδα για πάντα
I have been to Creta twice
Corfu- paxos-antipaxos island, Rhodes-Symi island, and in the north close to Thessaloniki there is Kavala town, Nymfaio in Florina and the old town of Xanthi for those into some folk architecture, worth visiting!!
ahhh Parga and Kerkyra. Or the awesome magesty of Mout Mourgana, overlooking my village of Tsamantas which was NOT the one shown on the latest Bourne movie despite the credit
Love Greece and the Greek people, but be careful, they will fleece you if you let them. To them, you are the "golden fleece."
Great video, professionally done. Thank you, I enjoyed the video.
Even if you travel to western Europe or the USA you'll find these people ready to fleece foreigners-tourists.
I never forgotten how beautiful Greece was I lived there only as a kid remember playing in a old car while they jammed the boosoki till the mornings and my parents never even knew that I was gone till morning many many times I will go back sooner than later we ended up in Canada and always told my DAD why did we leave and he's said something are better not known son and he took it to his grave but I always wanted to figure it out
do u know why now?
The last time I went to Paradise Beach on Mykonos Island it was a totally nude beach. I can't imagine that changing. Also, Mykonos is such a beautiful place with great food and beautiful people. Greece has more than it's share of gorgeous women. Found memories.
Mykonos was nice 30 years ago…
Paradise Beach is no longer like that. All the instagram people with their constant photo taking has discouraged the sense of freedom and liberation. It is now very self conscious. A shame. I remember years ago when it was carefree.
A Cafe In Arcadia : a book set in rural Greece in the early 1990s.It immerses the reader in village life and culture in Arcadia.

# 500 thumbs up.
. I would .. say that as a country greece is among most beautiful i visited ( I visited 75 countries ) but people can be hard to deal with particularly in athens .. on the islands they are more polite .. anyhow i like greek food music and culture .. I think spanish and dutch people are most welcoming for tourists ! :)
One of the worlds most fabulous tourist destinations! Historically, Athens has always had a top heavy government, which allows the residents and tourists to ignore their responsibilities. The result is traffic chaos. When in Athens, don't act like an Athenian. Obey all traffic laws, it's bad taste to add to Athen's nightmare streets. If Athen's resident's and visitors ever accept their duties and responsibilities, the world would prosper, knowing that Athen's streets, civil servants, communities and adults finally became law-abiding, ethical and conscientious. Imagine that! I'm travelling there soon!
2019 Greece ❤🌐
Song name Daniel Naqvi - Yallah
I'm heading to Athens late December thru early January. Any advice or pointers
2018 Greece 💖
The pronunciation of the narrator is messed up. There is no place in Santorini named OIYA, it's E-AH EEEEEEEE AHHHH The island volcano was named Saint Irene by the Italians (Sant'Irena) which resulted to the Greek sound Santorini. The official name of the island is Thera which means gate in classical Greek. He also mispronounced Aegina (EH- γina) and other places. And like someone else noted, no word about the stolen marbles from the Parthenon by Lord Elgin, a thief, who obtained permission from the Turkish governor during the Ottoman rule in Greece, to lift the Caryatids and other sculptures undisturbed and take them away to his country!
Thank you Sir, but we are Hellenes and the nation is Hellas. Everything else by you is spot on. You sound like a Philhellene, aka like Lord Byron
Very helpful documentary ! 1.000% right description ! But, there are more islands. Very different islands.
And not only islands ! Maybe, in next videos ?
MY BEAUTIFUL HELLAS
What about the Pelion resort area and beaches, and the region villages like Makrinitsa/portaria? You can go to the main town of the area, Volos, and from there take the boat to go to Skiathos island and Skopelos the Mama Mia island! they are really close there around...Look up Zagori too! Drakolimni-zagoroxoria
I’m here because I’m planning my daughter to Greece 2024 if anyone have any suggestions please comment. Thank you.
got lots of information by this documentary.Raja Bhaduri U.S.A.

How old are these documentaries?
ugh i had to watch this for school and now its gonna fill up my recommended }=
can someone tell me what is the name of the song at end and think also at the begining
Lavish production, but for heaven's sake couldn't anyone be bothered to check the pronunciation of the names? Only "Poros" (and "Santorini" - which isn't a Greek name anyway) were correct. It's like a documentary about The Beatles calling their hometown "Lowberpole".
Of course very close to athens there are the very pretty and easily accesible by boat within an hour islands of Spetses and Hydra, excellent for a weekend excursion for athenians
At the beggining you" ve made a big big mistake. You showed an incorrect map that shows the island of Rhodes ( and few others smallers islands) belong to Turkey and not to Greece. Please if it is not possible to put a correct map you should write an info aboyt this mistake
Greece - Beautiful country and Beautiful people... especially their women 😁
Godess athena bless us all
thanks Pierre Brouwers, we've seen tourist greece or tourism around greece islands and it is kind of an excellent for its reason but good rather than very good for Greece. May we are looking for the one percent of its population which probably possess 99% of Greece.
What’s the song 5:50
i was so dissapointed when i found out there are cars on Hydra island. not many, but at least 3 on the harbor, that i saw in google maps

Very nice! Greeks seem like Italians or other Semitic peoples--I don't mean to offend Greeks!--but they certainly have their own distinct characteristics. They are not the same as Italians, and as part-Italian, their culture and behaviors seem exotic to me!
Aquarian Christianity Some characteristics are Mediterranean like Italians but there are not Semites.
South Italy was inhabited for thousands of years by Greeks. The cities there were established by Greeks (Magna Graecia). That's why we have a huge % of common DNA with the Italians. The Greco-Roman world was also a fact.
Greeks are not Semitic people. Yet we influenced the Semitic culture (and we were influenced by them), since we were neighbours with the Phoenicians, Jews, Arabs and many other peoples for thousands of years.
I like the word "exotic". It's a Greek word! Sometimes we are indeed exotic!
Greeks are a caucasian white race. Try visiting. This video is not ideal.
@@georgebethanis3188 There is no such thing as "Caucasian white" race. Those are just simplified terms used by simpletons in places like the US to make life easier for themselves and have everyone "categorized" in their heads. The Greeks are a melting pot as Greece is and always has been in the crossroads of East and West and many many civilizations have left their genetic mark on the local population. You can find Greeks as dark as Arabs and as pale as Scandinavians. Greeks with blonde hair and Greeks with blue "Aryan" eyes. Reality is not always as simple as we'd like it to be.
@@gmeachim3270 Have you ever been in Greece?
I'm disappointed they don't have Greek mythology as their official religion
orthodoxy won us over ;p
actually there are many who believe in teh ancient religion of the Gods
And many who don't. So, what's your point?
parakalo
With more than 400 years under Ottoman rule, they should practice nothing but Islam.
I'm only here for the geology. I'm not sure where vulcanologists get 8 hrs. It's not possible to predict when a volcano will erupt - but we can look for signs like increasing earthquakes, and it's better to be safe and leave, even if it's a false alarm.

Isn't this the city or country or state named after Athena the goddes of wisdom
Ana Nunez yes it is and acropolis was the temple of athena!
Yes!
@@panos7ree515 Due to my Greek heritage on my Grandmothers side...we named our first Daughter Athena! :) Hopefully one day I can take her there to see that temple. She is five years old now, and she's seen videos of it.
I can't believed they cannot pronouced Oia correctly! It's too bad this excluced Crete + Rhodes, which have longer history and cilivlization important more than the other islands featured in here.
Redo the audio commentary > the pronunciation of Greek names is woeful
More information about visiting Athens.
Visit: offtoathens.com/
You got a few things wrong:
07:40 - The Santouri (Timpano) is not a traditional Greek instrument, it is Persian.
08:40 - The evzones are wearing special Kilts and not skirts ... same as in scotland !
( I know, my father was on of them ... It is an honeur to serve as a guard to the fallen soldier !)
24:36 - Those are horses andnot mules !
And the Parthenon Marbles belong in Greece!! Not England!
Nicely done, although some of the pronunciations of the narrator leave something to be desired. Good background music.
Why so much anger, has something happened to you? Also, he was probably referring to the narrator's pronunciation of Greek words.
30:00 - The tide or current at the straits of Euripus Straits is not because of the change in sea level !
The theory states that the tidal phenomenon of the Evripos Straits is attributed to the periodical change of the direction of gravity, due to the horizontal conjunction of the attractive powers of the Moon and the Sun in the center and the surface of the Earth.
Magnetic attraction is applied by the Moon and the Sun on the water mass. The movements of the Moon around the Earth and those of the Earth around the Sun effect in such a way that the double attraction applied on our planet by the Sun and the Moon constantly changes direction, causing the application of forces on the earthly waters of the channel, that consequently change their direction periodically.
The Sun's attractive force, despite its incomparably greater mass, is three times smaller than that of the Moon, because it is far more distant.
meow baby.
In Athens, many of the parents ignore traffic laws with their children and many of these parents are civil servants. Youth in Greece deserve law-abiding, ethical and conscientious civil servants, their future actually depends upon it. Let's double traffic laws in capital cities and watch long overdue, law-abiding streets and adults appear, in Athens!!
greg oscar wow seriously you answer everywhere with so much hate. You don’t know anything
Those people were not Albanians,they were Arvanites,a Greek population from the Greek city of Albania, Arvanon...DO NOT GIVE FALSE INFORMATION TO THE PEOPLE,DAMN IT!
nixter888 what’s the song at 5:50
LUCIFER666 - I will disapoint you my friend. The majority of "Albanians" and the 40% of Turks are base on DNA searches of Greek blood. The Greeks are in majority Greeks and nothing else. So we are not Turkogreeks but the are Grecoturks
England?
