I am finishing my PhD in Theater and focusing my studies on ancient Greek drama. My academic advisor, who is from Thessaloniki, stressed to me the importance of "walking the roads" of whatever subject you undertake as your specialty. I finally was able to visit Greece last year, to see the Acropolis and theaters at Delphi, Athens, and Epidaurus. I even recited some Aeschylus and Sophocles there and was nearly crying. So very excited for my next trip to Greece, whenever that may be. Ευχαριστώ πολύ!
You are welcome to also visit Ancient Messini, Ancient Olympia, or even Ephesus, an ancient greek city in Turkiye. I recommend you travel across the mainland and visit places like Mani, Monemvasia and Pella. Its really underrated compared to the islands
I started listening to this on 0.50 playback speed and it still felt too fast for me to follow 😆Normal speed felt like fast forward! Looking forward to listening more☺️
10:15 I was not disappointed. I love your people NOW, not only the Hellenes of the past. Yes, there are difficulties, poverty and stuff, but I genuinely appreciated your country even with all of these issues. Kind of like when you love a person and pass over the flaws. Σ'αγαπώ πολύ πολύ, Έλληνες :) από ένα ιταλό.
I've been to Greece four times, and each time, I've visited the Acropolis with the different people I travelled with (first time as a kid with my Greek parents; second time with a high school friend during a graduation trip; third time by myself after needing to spend a day away from my sister; and fourth time with my ex). I can't imagine going to Athens as a tourist and not going to the Acropolis. Question though: is it me, or is it nearly impossible to climb the steps and walk around the the site, no matter what kinds of shoes you're wearing? It's soooo slippery, even with a good, rubber-soled sneaker or sandal, and I'm constantly afraid I'm gonna fall and break my neck!
Επισκέφθηκα την Ακρόπολη την πρώτη φορά που πήγα στην Αθήνα και ήταν καταπληκτική. Ναι, πολλοί άλλοι τουρίστες, αλλά και πάλι ένα φοβερό μέρος. Είδαμε επίσης μια παράσταση στο θέατρο του Ηρώδη Αττικού που ήταν απίστευτη. Είναι αλήθεια ότι δεν εκτιμούμε τις ίδιες μας τις πόλεις. Ζω στο Σίδνεϊ και πηγαίνω πραγματικά στην πόλη και βλέπω πράγματα όπως η γέφυρα του λιμανιού μόνο όταν έχουμε επισκέπτες.
I wouldnt as someone who has been to Greece twice, I really like local things because theyre not packed with people Edit: also because its far away for me
Εγώ πάντως έδειξα μια φωτογραφία της Ακρόπολης σε μια φίλη μου Αμερικάνα, με πτυχία υποτίθεται και μου λέει "wow, what is this? Mount Olympus?". Οπότε ναι, υπάρχουν κ χειρότερα... γενικά οι Αμερικανοί έχουν τα πρωτεία στην έλλειψη κουλτούρας. Έχω ακούσει κ άλλα τραγελαφικά.
Pains to see the new gen Greeks being so aloof about their rich history....no wonder I was welcomed with such high regard by most old guards throughout Hellas for my respect and knowledge about Greece
Most people in Athens are migrants. In 1833, Athens 'had a small population of an estimated 400 houses, mostly located around the Acropolis in the Plaka'.
The Acropolis of Athens and its monuments are universal symbols of the classical spirit and civilization and form the greatest architectural and artistic complex bequeathed by Greek Antiquity to the world....An impressive example of ancient Greek architecture, the Parthenon is a cultural landmark like no other.The columns are slightly tapered to give the temple a symmetrical appearance. The corner columns are larger in diameter than the other columns. Incredibly, the Parthenon contains no straight lines and no right angles, a true feat of Greek architecture....By many engineers and architects, it is considered the most perfect structure ever built. Phidias, the sculptor who designed the Parthenon, used the “Golden Ratio” in his works because it is the most pleasing to the eye...Today, the Parthenon stands as a symbol of the enduring legacy of ancient Greek culture and civilization. It is a testament to the power of human creativity and ingenuity, and a reminder of the wonder and mystery that continue to captivate us, even thousands of years after its construction. Aren't all these reasons for the tourists to visit it? I am asking you,Greek People in the Video!
I wouldn't mind visiting the Acropolis, but truly I want to see the island of my Great-Grandmother more. So maybe I am with the guy who said beaches? lol
Βλέπω την Ιταλία και καταλήγω ότι αυτό θα ήθελα να είμαστε από πλευράς μουσικής. Μου αρέσουν και τα μεσογειακά, τα κρουστά - εκεί με καλύπτει το Latin, πχ ο Ρίκι Μάρτιν, η Σακίρα κτλ. Το βαλκανικό στυλ δεν μου πολυαρέσει αλλά αν είναι άλλης χώρας το ακούω πιο ευχάριστα...πχ Σερβία...
Πιστεύω πως σιγουρα θα εκτιμούσαμε περισσότερο την ιστορία μας αν την διδασκόμασταν σωστά, επειδή όπως και να 'χει το σχολείο δεν κάνει καθόλου καλή δουλειά με αυτό το μάθημα όπως και με αρκετά άλλα. Οταν η ιστορία σου μαθαίνεται απο κακογραμμένα βιβλία με κύριο στόχο την παπαγαλία στους περισσότερους όχι μόνο δεν αρέσει αλλά και αντιπαθούν την ιστορία.
Οι αρχητεκτονικές και τα σημεία που υψώνονται έχουν δικες τους ενέργειες, οπως χαρακτηριστικά των ανθρώπων Για αυτό μερικα κτίρια παραμένουν χιλιάδες χρόνια και άλλα γκρεμίζονται σε λίγο. Καλό ειναι το να πλησιάζει σημεία σαν αυτά
I visited Albania and Greece. Omg Albania is so banal, also people are very racist. Greece was completely different it really felt like home! Everybody speaks English like a native. You guys deserve a Larry King show.

You can search for our “super easy Greek” videos, you can find me at our playlist at our channel.
@@EasyGreekVideos thank you! I will
That guy never opened a book in his life, ahah. "I'd go for the beaches" ROFL
He would be equivalent to a U.S. version of a 'Trumptard'!
My wife and I went there for our honeymoon last year 😊
Cute

Καταλαβαίνω απόλυτα! Μένω στην ακτή σε ένα μέρος που φημίζεται για την παραλία του. Σε δέκα χρόνια, έχω πάει 2-3 φορές (maybe!!)

Agreed, it's a real shame.
I feel like most countries are like this. Younger people don’t really care about local stuff. People start caring when they grow up.
Most people in Athens are migrants. In 1833, Athens 'had a small population of an estimated 400 houses, mostly located around the Acropolis in the Plaka'.
Same thing in China. People are busy with beauty, money, tiktok, transitory addictions 😂😂😂
@@PeerLaWill That's frustrating. People need to know about their country's history and heritage.

Εάν ρωτήσει ο κάποιος στα άτομα της Ανατολικής Ασίας, γιατί έρχεται για να επισκεφτεί την Ακρόπολη, μπορεί να πει για το Saint Seiya (圣斗士星矢）😁
