In this video I’m exploring the ancient city of Athens, Greece. Over the last few decades Athens has undergone a modern rebirth and is now a city full of creativity, modern Greek gastronomy, a vibrant contemporary art scene and unrivalled nightlife.

Malini hi from Crete
What a brilliant travel channel. The videos are so informative and interesting, with alot of thought having gone into them. So well produced. You need to be on Discovery!
Not only art democracy and philosophy ,but even sport ,theater, and sciences defining the laws of logic in physic ,geometry ,mathematics ,medicin, history, ecc.
Fantastic.
What do Greeks produce today?
@@neotrnty4717 apparently you didnt watch the video because the answer to your question was in there but a biased vestige of the middle east will remain biased and blind no matter what
I'm italian, I lived in Athens for 2 years and miss it soooo much... Dreaming of moving back there...❤
Whoa, what Italy doesn't have, what Greece has? Just out of curiosity, not a sarcasm.
I live abroad and whenever I return to Athens it saddens me to see that the restaurant with a the traditional motif in decoration combining traditionally cooked food are steadily diminishing and already start to become fairly rare, as they give way to fast food and those restaurants cooking fancy modern supposedly trendy imported recipes which are more interested in presentation and with the convenience of relatively simplified cooking methods instead of the over-prolonged and elaborate cooking expected for those traditional Greek dishes. I mean the kind of restaurants that the chef spends more time decorating the plate, than cooking the food.
Watching this video also saddens me because in this video traditional Greek cuisine that our ancestors used to eat is regrettably forgotten. For example foreign visitor don’t know what they are missing if they have not tasted the traditional cuisine cooked by Ms Rania Karatzeni owner the restaurant named Oinomageireio Epirus located in the Varvakio central meat market of Athens. Frankly I rather go to a restaurant that focus on elaborate family-style traditional Greek cuisine, instead of those restaurants that xenomaniac Greeks love enjoying the ‘’trendy ambiance’’ LOL and the artistic presentations of the food served into fancy futuristic dishes using peculiarly styled cutlery, which are all more important to them than the flavor of the food … LOL
I agree kind of, but I don't believe it will get lost, because even the new generation still wants the traditional old mother made food. This is what makes us! Greece is unique and will not get lost, we never die :-D But I also agree that somehow a lot of people wants to be like the others, and the danger about that is, that they are trying to make everything the same. The whole world to be same? Please don't! For eg Cyprus, Limassol now are building Skyscrapers and wants to be like Dubai, Singapore, USA cities, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur etc. All the same, I find it wrong. No uniqueness anymore and the culture dies.
@@kostaskazakis4919 Couldn't be said better than what you just did. Thank you and Happy New Year
Any other traditional restaurants you recommend in Athens? I’m originally from south Albania so Epirote food is basically what I eat. I think Karamanlidika is another interesting traditional restaurant worth trying, no?
@@artemisrafti3956 Hi Thank you for responding. I am sorry I am a litlle bit outof date because the last 36 years I live in the Far East and the last 20 in China --- My visit to Greece are always too short ... Wish you well
We are in a battle between bland globalism with its flashy new toys and traditionalism with its deep roots in the culture history of different places. Greece has some of the deepest and culturally rich history in the world. Why spoil it with this junk?
Living 4 years in Cyprus as expat from Azerbaijan, and visited Athens one day for my birthday - I changed my opinion about Greek culture. Many my Greek friends(from Greece) say dont go to Athens and bla bla. It was kind of shock to me and my friends that while Greek Cyprus s very calm nice relax and chill, and then we go to Athens and boom, we see first time greek hard core urbanization. Seriously, I fall in love with Athens, I dont know why. seems it has very surprising, unexpected, edgy vibe.
Yep, it’s got a great edgy vibe if you know where to look!
Athens has great night life man.
@@Malini.Angelicagreat video and well presented
athens has come a long way these last few decades. it's a huge city with people from literally every corner of the globe. very cool place
Angelica as a local expat living in Athens I applaud 👏 your genuine enthusiasm that you have portrayed this evolving city of ours. You don’t show the typical touristy haunts that most bloggers or vloggers try to outdo one another with the same same. You have shown snippets of our daily lives in the burbs where life is bustling. Once again bravo showing the world the city we are proud to call home.
So is expat the nice way to say immigrant ?
@@teonatsios491 As my son (an Austrian living in Cairo) jokingly says, expat is the term for immigrants in the other direction.
I think ex-pat is what people who have migrated from the same country call each other. I live in Athens but come from Australia. To Greeks I'm an immigrant... but to another Aussie, I'm an ex-pat... A former patriot of a country I no longer live in. I am proud to call myself an immigrant, by the way, like my parents who moved to Aus were proud.... Migrating is no mean feat! @@teonatsios491
Athens has become my favourite city. There is some special and I can not find a word adequate to describe the feeling
I had the same feeling when i was in the Granada in Spain. It's because every corner of that city is filled with history and was cared for centuries. Every generation have filled it with love and care, bringing something good into it.
Wow, I didn’t realise how arty Athens was. Considering the austerity over the past decade Athens seems very vibrant. You really captured that well in your video. The art scene is really thriving. The food aspect was also very interesting. I’m definitely going to visit Athens as it’s been over 30 years since I last visited. Thank you.
Yeah you should, I think that you would love it
It's so sad. The art boom in Athens was almost like a reaction to austerity and it's super cool to think about the psychology behind that . The government thinks otherwise however . The bastards passed a law where all art degrees don't count as university degrees but highschool diplomas . So make of that what you will
Athens had a boom in creativity, similar like Belgrade and other cities in the Balkans
I was in Greece this time last year got to go to Delphi, visit some schools to meet the teachers and spend a lot time exploring the city one of my favorite places I've ever been. it was number 2 on my list. till this day I still think about Greece and constantly look at all 500 pictures and numerous videos I took there can't wait to go back.
Greece is fascinating 😁
The great civilization didn’t disappear; We’re still here our great ancestors legacy lives in all of us Greeks/Hellenes until this day. ΖΗΤΩ Η ΕΛΛΑΣ / LONG LIVE GREECE! 🇬🇷🇨🇾
Uh, ....No. Yeah, it died; it was KILLED by the Greeks -- Christian Greeks, Rhomaioi ("Romans").
Indeed, the term "Hellene", starting around the 4th, 5th, or 6th centuries, became a deprecatory expression for "pagan" (and not even necessarily Greek pagan either). Yeah, Theodosius and Justinian weren't fans of the "Hellenes".
Thank goodness the Latin West revived Aristotle (Renaissance of the Twelfth Century) and later the Italians revived the humanities (something like the old paideia) in the Renaissance of the 15th Century, and then the neo-classicism of the Enlightenment (mainly northwest Europe) brought BACK to Greece the legacy of Hellenism, eh? ....THEN, your much more recent ancestors started calling themselves "Hellenes" again.
Βέβαια εμείς οι νεοέλληνες έχουμε προδόσει τους προγόνους μας με χίλιους δυό τρόπους. Δεν σεβαστήκαμε τίποτα.
@@pietranera22 Having watched your comment , I felt I'm back in Physics class...😎
@@Balboa_Rocky 🤣
Όσοι έχουν ελληνικά ονόματα δεν σημαίνει ότι έχουν και ελληνικό πνεύμα, μείναμε λίγοι...
love that wine lady in the orange dress
Athens has become one of my favorite cities ever, I don't get why some people might like it, the architecture, the vibe, the people, everything about it is mesmerizing and it becomes better and better by the year!
I went to Athens 4 years ago and it’s amazing and so is the food.
I need to go again
You showed Athens in such a different way
Thank you
What an amazing video. I've always struggled to explain to my foreign friends how modern Greece really is, and I've been watching just pop mainstream "syrtaki and souvlaki" videos for so long , at some point I got dissapointed that almost noone knows this whole modern culture exists ,without them coming here and staying for a few months to be aware of it.
So thank you, and I'll keep watching your videos because I have a feeling you'll show the actual interesting and cultural parts of places around the world, not promoting this stupid tourist mainstream culture.
If you have money and time, Athens is second to none in terms of fun places and sight-seeing. Not to mention that there are countless outstanding escapes for one-day trips in the islands and the area around it.
I really like your taste of place of visit. I like traveling to such places which have historical and cultural significance. Love from India 🇮🇳 ♥
Oh I also have a video about Athens and other places in Greece! I love Greek culture and their friendly mentality
Beautiful Greece
Well rounded and also really sophisticated content creation - stands apart from the usual youtube masses! Thank you Maliini...
Respect n esteem Greece.
The philosophy birth place.
Love any related with Greek.
🎉🎉🎉🎉
The biblical people n land
Love from India 🇮🇳 ♥️ keep up the good work!!
🇬🇷🇮🇳
The ancient Greek gave so much to the world not the least mainly to the Arabs and Muslims, and Middle East (which you can see it in many aspects of their culture to this day) which they gave back in return to Europe through Andalusia (Spain). If the Romans were once the heart of the world, the Greek were the mind. ❤
hahhahahahahhaahhahahahhahaha no its the other way around.
@@ayansalah7852 get a life. Erase Greece you also erase all science fields, democracy, olympic games, schools and architecture and many kinds of art
It’s the other way around lol. Middle Easterners gave SO MUCH to Greece.
As always.. great video Malini and team. We feel really happy to see this channel starting to get the recognition it deserves. It’s still a long way to go but that silver play button doesn’t seem too far. (We are vouching that you get the gold soon though) No doubt that Malini is a superb host… but let’s not forget her partner who is doing a fantastic job behind the camera. 🙂🙂🙂 all the very best guys and thank you for making a sincere attempt to fill up gaps left by shows like globe trekker, parts unknown etc. Love and hugs from India❤❤❤
Unfortunately, people don't know more about those Stoas in the city. Especially travellers.
There is a lot to explore outside of Plaka.
Amazing city and vibe you don't find this anywhere else in the world
Spend enough time in Greece and everywhere else will start to feel kind of boring. Speaking from experience 🙂
You CLEARLY need to travel more. 😂😂😂
@@mysticheart1049 I can understand what he means. Perhaps it is you who needs to discover more of Greece. The density of so many different ways of life and styles in such a small place like Greece, actually makes it unique. You will never understand this until you see it with your own eyes.
@@papertoyss Lol, I don’t need to discover more of Greece, but you both clearly need to discover more of the world. He said everywhere else seems boring compared to Greece, which is a straight ignorant lie, it’s the comment of someone who needs to explore more world cultures and places. Greece is unique? So what, so are many other places, big or small. Get over yourself.
@@mysticheart1049 Greece is oky, but ITA and France are superior and more beautiful with better wine and food.
@@hankwilliams5622 what you mean more beautiful ? and about food its just like your opinion, the 3 million Italian tourists visit Greece every summer maybe they can make you thinking about it again...
Pireas looks interesting. Now I am interested to visit Athens.
First timer on your channel. This video made me subscribe right away. One of the few videos that show an authentic view of Athens and the true diversity of its neighborhoods. A lot of videos on RUclips lack the depth you've portrayed here and stick to the same old touristy parts. Bravo!
Where i live it's currently -5° celsius and snow covering the ground, i can't tell y'all how much i'd love to spend the frozen first 3 months of the year in a place like Athens. Away from the cold and dark and into the sunshine 👌💯
It only snows for a couple of days a year and not every year but still it's kinda cold in Athens too. Most days even during winter are sunny yet chilly. Last time I went there in November and although I went to a tavern and had dinner outside, I was with winter clothes. It also rained later that night.
Awesome presentation. Keep going.Thanks.😍
Έλα και Thessaloniki 🇬🇷!
Hi Malini Greece is a such gorgeous country
Art culture food Mediterranean Sea ⛵
You can enjoyed there of many ways .
Weather is amaizing I love it .
Thank you so much for your beautiful video's I enjoyed so much .
Hugs from Utah .
🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
I’m so happy to find your channel. You have the best channel on RUclips! I’m a faithful fan now!
Why this content is free, why I'm not paying to see such high level editing, awesome narration and information. This should be on some travel channel on tv.
Yes! This is well good enough for a travel channel! The show reminds me of a toned down Anthony Bourdain! Adore her!!! 🙏
thank youu for appreciating our beautiful, culturally rich and diverse city :))
What a great presentation of our Athena!
Return Greek Antiquities Now! #Restitution 🇬🇧
I love Athens. Lived there a short time, and the city left a big impact on me. Once in a while I return to see the city and the friends I made there. Oooh, and the food is great too 😁
You have really reflected and exposed all those elements the city consists of to date. Great job. Thank you so much
What an amazing job ! ✊🏾
I love that you show Athens - the living city - and didn't portray it as something out of a time capsule. The history is there, all around you, but Athens is also a vibrant, modern place and I think you capture that well.
That’s what we intended to do. Thank you!
April 2022 I spent about a week in Athens during about Seven weeks travelling around the country. Really enjoyed travelling around to different parts of the city.
Your tour takes all our heart to travel intangible keep up . Very good job u r doing and great big thanky for all your immense hard work you have done to bring up these videos
this is a great take in Athens. Malini is right when she says that when thinking of Greek cuisine 1st things that come to mind is Gyros and Souvalaki but it is so much more.. This videos makes me want to come back to Athens and experience these different aspects... Your videos are different from regular Vlogs.. really engaging and great delivery.. keep'em videos coming.
Excellent presentation with a beautiful scenario.
My birth place ❤ always part of me🇬🇷🇦🇺🤗❤️
Excellent quality video definitely worthy of any television channel
thanks for the video Malini Angelica, you should be paid by the department of tourism in Greece for all the great videos you shoot. You make me wanna get on a plane and come there. Bravo to you, what a great way to make a living.
Lovely photography, editing, presentation. Respect. If you ever decide to come to Egypt it will be my honour to help you have the smoothest stay.
Best of the Best out here on RUclips. 💯
Love Greece! Visited in’18, pre pandemic, spend multiple days in Athens before cruising (on a Greek line, not a mega ship). Yeah, stayed in old town first, but in modern area after and indulged in a lot of the Modern Greece: food, art, people/social. Austerity Measures were still in place and a lot of graffiti reflected the pain people felt. Athens and their beaches are to the locals like the Cyclades are to tourists. They know how to enjoy life. Opa! Great vid! Thanks Malini!
thanks for these beautiful videos ... good luck❤
I am so much addicted to your videos, Actually I was started watching like random vlog in youtube, but now whenever I eat, sleep and leisure time. I play your videos and do whatever I do.
Your Videos so clear and classy, the way you talk and showing things around you is absolutely stunning. and your videos are learning material for the people who making vlogs. Simply amazing the way you talk to the people and visuals . Totally gorgeous .
keep doing.
Superbly presented 👍👌🙏
Composed , new features edition , images well thought thumbs up
You are the best in making a documentary about a place. ❤️
Just found your channel and am loving it! So much great stuff to watch.
Marvellous, as usual
Thank you for this. Great content!
Athens is super I'm talking about ancient athens
beautiful video, I really appreciate, keep on it :)
Like your travel videos, keep it up👍
Your content is amazing, very well executed and selected 👏🏽🌎🌍🌏
Amazing presentation, coming from the eyes of a young person.
My thanks 🇬🇷
The videos as well as the Narrating is just like tv!
Great content Malini !❤❤
Wonderful video from such a beautiful host! loved it!!
All your videos are quite enjoyable.
I love your videos and how you always include the perspective of locals and show the real sides, not just the tourist areas
Great video !
Your next stop check out Thessaloniki 🇬🇷💙
I love your videos, remind me of Bourdain travels, and that cool vibe of the 90s-2000 travel shows on “Travel and Living channel”. ❤❤
Thank you for your Vlog on Athens. You have cured me of any desire to go there.
Psirri is pretty touristy though, it's not like you have to walk ten miles or search for it. I've been hanging out in Kifissia or Chalandri the last years when I visit, great spots where you will not find any tourist.
Recently addicted to your documentaries. Its a different perspective, keep posting!
Superb...
Hi there !! 👋 your channel is good , really enjoy watching it .. great work
I am liking the videos of yours as the presentation is something catchy...thanks for the Information.
A very nice presentation ❤this is the City of Athens now!well done

very interesting, thank you!
Beautiful
Very good explanation
Great video! I was fortunate enough to experience a bit of the Athens featured here.
I love living in Greece!
great place, I hope I will visit there next year
Loved it
Great great quality content, keep up the good work Angelica
Beautiful video, love your style, (Travel Documentary)
I wonder How much effort goes in to these videos of yours, love it will watch, keep them coming ✌️🙏🏽
🇷🇸🤝🇬🇷
Dear Angelica, what a great representation of the modern city of Athens. Athens is a bit scruffy on the outside but when you look closer you can see her beauty and hear her sounds and feel her vibes. And you managed to show it to us. . Kudos on your exceptional work. And kudos for making your own path.
Very nice ..all☺
That presentation matters no matter what you cook
Waaaw... Awesome
Vvvv beautiful ❤️❤️
I wanted to add to your reportage, that we now also have the blue line of the metro ( in the video you see the train not the metro of Athens which is modern and clean) that goes strait from the airport to the port of pireas! Only 45 min. Three new stations opened in October 2022 with ancient ruines inside them, they worth a visit!
I LOVE ATHENS
Nice sharing friend 👍👍👍👍
