    Sunday's "Honey Gold" Septem may be the best beer I have ever tried!
    Also, dipping the bread in the salad or any food with oil is not acceptable, it's expected and it's a must! What I like to do in the Greek salad is to "melt" a piece of the tomato in the plate with my fork, and blend it with the olive oil, then dip the bread and make sure to catch some small crumbles of feta on it...

    I'm from Greece, and I can happily say that the Greek salad is the best, here we have the most fresh vegetables you'll ever find! Also you nailed the word τελειο!

    The Greeks practically found cold coffee; frappe, freddo espresso and cappuccino are the Greek way of drinking coffee especially during summer; the Italians, the French, the Arabs, the Brazilians, or whoever actually *has a coffee culture,* they never drunk ice coffee. In fact many years ago when I travelled Italy, none (I mean none literally) of them knew what I meant asking for freddo espresso or cappuccino. In one case I convinced a guy who had a coffee shop to actually make me a cold cappuccino and I have to say he wasnt very happy with it.

      Next time you're in southern Italy, ask for a caffé leccese. It's an espresso with ice and cold almond milk, typical of the beautiful city of Lecce in the Puglia region.

    During the Greek War of Independence (1821-1829), several European powers provided varying degrees of support to the Greeks in their struggle against the Ottoman Empire. Some of the key supporters were:
    Russia: Russia had historical and religious ties with the Orthodox Christian Greeks and saw an opportunity to weaken the Ottoman Empire, its traditional rival in the region. Russia provided military assistance, diplomatic support, and even sent volunteers to fight alongside the Greeks.
    France: France, under King Louis XVIII, initially offered moral support to the Greek cause. Later, under King Charles X, France became more actively involved, providing naval support and allowing Greek ships to dock in French ports.
    United Kingdom: Initially, the British government was cautious about supporting the Greek rebels due to concerns about destabilizing the region. However, public sympathy for the Greek cause, fueled by romanticism and philhellenism, eventually led the British government to provide naval assistance to the Greeks. Lord Byron, the British poet, also supported the Greek cause and fought alongside the Greeks.
    Philhellenes: Philhellenes were individuals from various European countries who volunteered to fight for the Greek cause. These volunteers came from diverse backgrounds and included intellectuals, adventurers, and military officers.

    The ottomans found a civilisation in medieval Greece, that they conquered. Thought they hardly brought anything, as well. So it’s better to consider that they were influenced by greece and definitely not the opposite. Except some barbaric traces of “culture, they were carrying, throughout their journey from Mongolia to Asia minor, where they, destroyed the part of Greece that was lying from the other side of the Aegean Sea.

    This video is a huge letdown. I was looking forward to "exploring the oldest neighborhood in Athens" and 75% of the video was you eating? You literally talked about how good the WATER was? That's so weird. I feel like this video is focused so much on you that we never actually learned much about Athens at all. Also gave off huge narcissist vibes, especially the whole segment about the water where you think you're sharing the same water as great philosophers. Give me a break.

      Yes, they are Italian words. Greeks used Italian names for it because those are associated with "coffee culture" (and because the base is espresso), not because it's an Italian recipe copied... It's not the same as Caffe Freddo, despite the name similarity
