- We LOVED Athens, today we did an excursion that brought us to the Acropolis, the Temple of Zeus, Changing of the Guard & the Olympic Stadium. After that, we enjoyed some nice views and food in Mikrolimano before heading back to the ship.

Thanks. I didn’t look that far down. I’m watching lots of TH-cam’s for ideas. Love your Vlogs 😀
@moonman32796 it’s the best research!! We do the same thing!! It’s super helpful!
So glad we could help you out a bit!! 🤍
Looks like such a great day!!! I’m am loving your adventures in Europe! ❤
@dlamb4275 it was the best day!! Thank you to you and Steve for all the inspiration and ideas for our excursions! Especially santos 🍷
@@ryanandkala ❤️
Great video. You put in a ton of information on this one. I really enjoyed it and appreciate it.
Thanks so much Justin!! So glad you are enjoying the vlogs!! 🫶🏼
@@ryanandkala yes your videos are always fun and informative.
I enjoy seeing your content and your adventures! Thanks for sharing!
Yay! So happy to hear!! ❤️❤️
Happy Hippo is made by Kinder - they're wafer hippos filled with hazelnut cream! They're really cute and really yummy!
Oh that’s good to know! No wonder why it was so good!! 🤤
Awww! YMCA haha! That's so sweet and hilarious! Great video as usual. Athens looks amazing! I am living vicariously through you guys! Can't wait to see the rest of the trip!
Hahaha ya such a random Ryan and Kala factoid lol! 😂
Athens was absolutely incredible! Probably our favourite day! We can’t wait to release the rest of the vlogs!
So happy you’re enjoying them and that we can bring Greece to you!! 💙🤍
Team Pistachio!
Yes!! It’s the best!!
🥜 oh man, there’s no pistachio emoji!! 😂
Me too!
We loved Athens. We opted for the earliest departure for the Hop on/Hop off bus. After visiting the Acropolis, we walked to the museum and from there we continued to walk to Platka where we explored and had lunch. We ended our day at the Olympic stadium where we opted to catch an Uber back to the port.
That was a smart move to do the earliest time! You beat the crowds and the heat!!
Sounds like a great day in Athens!! 🫶🏼
Awesome video. I remember going to Athens and touring the Acropolis years ago when I was in the Navy. Of course, I am so old, everything was still pretty new up there - - - lol. Enjoy the rest of your cruise. Can't wait to see your next video.
You should definitely go back on a little vacation and re experience it!
Also, Thank you for your service 🫡
Greece is amazing, great video!
Thanks Jord!! 🫶🏼
We need to go all together one day!
Private tours or even semi private are soooo worth the cost! Even though it’s more expensive I always try to do at least a small group tour.
100% now that we have done one we are kind of spoiled lol! 😂
Great Video! .... Thank You for posting~~~
Thanks for watching so glad you enjoyed!! 🫶🏼
i just got back home from Explorer of the sea cruice today. I joined the july 6-13trip. i believed i entred the boat when they left. thats cool!
Hope you had a fabulous cruise!!!
We were actually on the May 18-25th sailing! Hopefully one day we will cross paths!! 🫶🏼
Great video. The crowd size is crazy!
Hard to believe it gets worse! I can’t even imagine how bad it is in peak season when there’s like 5-7 cruise ships in port 😱
goud❤
Almost 10k subscribers! Keep it up!
Wild eh? Can’t believe it!!
Thanks for supporting us!! ♥️🙏🏼🥂
you guys are so cute I loved the video!
🥰🥰 thanks so much!!
We went to the acropolis last May about 2 hours before closing and the crowds were gone! Great pics and great timing if you just want a quick in and out
That’s an awesome idea especially if your ship is there later in the day!
Wow!!! Learning all about history with Ryan and Kala! That was very informative. The amount of food and drinks 🍷 y'all got for 30 euros is insane. What a fun, long day! I would have come back to the ship and napped! Plus, we love that you're posting every Sunday!!!! Woo hoo!!! Have a great week, you two!
I couldn’t believe it when we got our bill I was like wait did you forget stuff? But no, we are just so used to being ripped off here in Canada haha!
Oh Ryan definitely napped after all that food! I am not a great napper.
It’s a lot harder to post every week but these vlogs are just too fun to see again we couldn’t wait! ♥️
So glad you’re liking the series!! 🫶🏼
Great video guys, loving that you're enjoying Europe so much 👍
Nice job on getting lucky with the "private" tour!
Honestly when we booked it we didn’t notice it was a private tour, but we were kind of thrilled when we found out! Mostly because we can film a lot easier without worrying about bothering other people, but also because we could do things on our own time and didn’t spend time waiting for groups etc. it was worth every penny and we would suggest it especially for Athens to avoid the crazy crowds!!
@@ryanandkalaAgreed, small group tours are the way forward if you have the budget 👍
Loving the random Ryan and Kala facts too. Have you guys thought about doing a Q&A? Not sure how much you're comfortable sharing about yourselves but I think there would likely be interest
@jeighteen8297 💯 and this one wasn’t much more expensive than some of the bigger group ones I was seeing either. I think it was $500 Canadian for both of us and it included our tickets
Another A++ production! Educational and informative in a wicked fun presentation! Love it! Thanks for sharing! 😎😎😎😎
Thanks so much!! 🫶🏼
Glad you enjoyed it and that we made learning a bit more fun!! 🤓
What a great day!Our Greek isles/Med cruise starts out in Athens.I’m thinking now we should arrive a few days early 😊.I believe you can also take a ferry from there to one of the nearby islands?
I believe the ferry’s are pretty extensive in Greece, so you should be able to easily get from island to island. They also have airports in Athens and Mykonos too.
I’d definitely suggest spending the full day in Athens if you can, it was so amazing! 🤩
Great vlogs.. No princess or Carnival cruise?
We have done carnival celebration and jubilee you can see the vlogs on the channel. We are trying out celebrity and Norwegian later this year and then MSC next year! We want to get on princess one day soon too! We hear they have great pizza! 🍕
Nice to see Athens again. My family lived there for a few years when I was growing up. If I have my bearings right, the hills over Kala's shoulder at about 18:00 are down the coast and not far from Voula and Glyfada. We lived in Voula. Nice coverage of the downtown historical sites, thanks! Great job on Santorini as well.
Oh wow that’s amazing! So glad we could show a bit of your hometown! We definitely want to go back and see some of the smaller less touristy islands one day!!!
So glad you enjoyed the vlog!! 🤍🤍
Lmao at some of the commentary. This hold 55,000, so like Super Bowl stadiums are nothing compared to this.
I could feel Ryan’s cringe. lol
Hahaha! 😂
Ya I don’t know anything about sports anymore, so much shame! 🙈
hahah good catch
@@ryanandkala just messing, I can only imagine what I would say if recording a vlog like this. I would probably be too embarrassed to post.
Thanks for bringing us along.
😂😂 oh trust me some of the things I say, I’m like omg Kala what are you talking about haha!
Great video! What was the name of the restaurant you went to with the awesome food? We’re headed to Athens next week and would love a good recommendation.
It was called Zorbas and it was right on the water as you pull into the little port area. It had an amazing patio, delicious food and great service! definitely recommend!
This is an awesome video. I love it. I normally don't ask questions about shoes or clothes but K, where are your sandals from in this video? thx
I got them from SHEIN, they were honestly very comfortable!! Every time I post the link on TH-cam it deletes my comment back (so annoying) but if you need the link message me on insta!! 🫶🏼
“YMCA”❤
Hahaha you’re a hero for watching the whole video!!! 🫶🏼
Great video. Youre living a good life. Yes Kala the Evil Eye. Also my family had the red horn to ward off evils. That statue in Brazil is the Statue of Jesus (Christ the Redeemer) in Rio de Janeiro . You guys always have interesting videos.
Yes, Christ the redeemer, that’s the one! I remembered it of course after we left the area haha!
Yes as an Italian we had the red horn and the red ribbons everywhere lol! You can never have enough things to ward off bad luck! We also have horseshoes too, apparently if you hang them in the U shape it collects good luck!
So glad you’re enjoy the vlogs!!! 🫶🏼
@@ryanandkala My mother in law used to put red ribbons in my husband's pocket of his suit. I have a sign above from door saying buono fortuna. We aren't too superstitious are we. We Italians are crazy LOL
@Joannepuleo hahaha us Italians are so superstitious haha! But hey whatever works right!? You can never have too many good vibes on your side!! 🌶️
What was the name of the Viator tour you did in Athens? I have a full day in Athens before my cruise and that excursion looks perfect
You would love this tour, and if you can get Chris he was amazing! I pasted the link below but if it doesn’t work we also linked it in the video description as well!

I really enjoy the videos!! We are looking at reservations in December of 2025 for the Greek Isles embarkation in Italy. We were just informed we need current COVID vaccines????!!! Is this really true????
That’s news to us!! We weren’t asked for any sort of Covid vaccination proof or anything like that and we were there in May 2024! Curious who told you that you needed that, was it the cruise line?
This is awesome news thank you thank you thank you !!!!!!!!! Yes ma’am. We contacted Princess Cruise Line.
@@ryanandkala❤
Perfect! Always check with the cruise line when you hear stuff like that! Some ports could still be strict about it you never know! But as far as we know we weren’t asked for any proof of vaccine!
Another great video… weird that you were being grief for your video / mic equipment…
We just returned from Norway on Anthem and had no issues with our drone and camera equipment.
As previously advised, we will be on Explorer in November (transatlantic run) and spending a few days in Barcelona first. Have you stayed in this city before? If so, any Viator tips and recommendations?
Cheers, James
Hey James!! That’s so awesome that they didn’t give you any hard time about drones or anything, we always catch grief for the drone lol!
We have never been to Barcelona before (it’s definitely on our list). Viator is our usual go-to for booking excursions so we usually watch other content creators to see what they did in ports and then try to find something on viator that fits the budget. We like viator because you can earn cash credits when you book and can use those credits towards an excursion!
Kala you always look very well put together! Maybe they want to inspect Ryan cause he looks scruffy. I do like your content though.
Aww thanks so much! I think the camera draws a lot of attention to us, plus Ryan always has a backpack with extra batteries and other tech so I guess it looks sketchy lol! 😂
Kala.. did you tip over in shower bc the ship moving or all that wine! Lol (no judgement) also how/why is the sea so smooth?? No waves out that way lol.
Hahahaha it’s very possible 🤣🍷
Omg I know it was like butter! Wait till you see us sail into Croatia it’s just magical!
@@ryanandkalaI can’t wait!!
🖐😎👍
Thanks for watching!! ♥️
