I love how excited you guys are to see everything . I am going take my 20 year old daughter to Athens this spring. It will be my first time these in 30 years
It really is beautiful. So happy you are taking this trip. Be safe.😍 PS. You were at Theatre of Dionysus thought to be world's first theatre. Yanni's live at the Acropolis was performed there.
What a wonderful journey you are taking us on. It is one thing to read about but you guys are living the history. You are walking in the footsteps of the ancient Greeks. You are seeing through their eyes. I have always said that travel is the best educator and you are both graduates of the University of Life. Thanks again for sharing this with us.
From start to finish in ALL of your videos....I find myself smiling. I love the way you embrace your surroundings, the culture while having so much fun together. Athens will be proud of how you have profiled this beautiful city. Great job!
You got to see a lot in a short amount of time. I almost prefer seeing it at night with all the lights and whatnot. It is kind of weird listening to people not speak English, so I will need to brush up on my Greek by next year! Another amazing video, thanks you two :)
So great to see you guys were able to make it happen, take off and travel somewhere other than the Caribbean and Mexico. Absolutely no shame in visiting those places, though you've been there, done that. There is a whole other world out there! Thankfully I've had the opportunity to do some travelling and remember the first time leaving N.America. It really opened my eyes! Love watching your new experiences through your vlogs.
I found your Alaska videos this morning then I found your Greece videos. When you were at the Acropolis and he was talking about a rock concert, the FOO FIGHTERS played there, don't know when but I know Yanni did play there too. I am really enjoying your videos so much. I can't wait to see the videos of Turkey, my great niece was blessed to just spend a month there with her best friend and family. I really liked your long hair, lol, you look alot different with short hair. I grew up in the 70's and that was the fashion for men. I dated a guy that his hair was longer than mine. LOL My parents was not too thrilled about him either. Thanks for sharing your amazing trips, I have enjoyed them so much. I loved the Jerusalem and the history. I LOVE history and wish I had majored in history in college.
Great videos guys, as a sidenote the name Greek and Greece was mentioned from Aristotelis the philosopher and Greek mythology (Graikos-mythological hero) while at the same time the main name of our country was Hellas and Hellenics for the population. Its just that Greek and Greece is being used from foreign countries most likely because its easier to pronounce.
I'm lovin' Athens. These last two videos were awesome. This was absolutely beautiful in the way you shot this at night. Jason mentioned he is really liking the thoughts of seeing the ruins. You were very close to a nice one on your Belize vlog. I loved Xinuntunich sp? in Belize. It was 50' to the Guatemala border. (We are cave tubing like you all did in April on our next cruise. The idea came from your video with the boys.) I hope to go to Athens some day. Hope you had a blast!! The closest I have been is Athens, Texas.
They do have concerts at the Odeon of Herodes. Sinatra, Elton John, and Sting have all had concerts there, so your dream can come true Jason! Also, crazy to know that those hills with lights are also the same direction that armies who sacked Athens came from. Imagine seeing 10s of thousands of Troops coming over those hills to attack you. Some of the most unbelievable history in the world happened on those hills! It was so surreal to be there when we visited.
thats how we pour beer in oz as well..Dont want the top too frothy or you;ll not enjoy your beer :) Im learning a lot from the fans below too..very cool all..thx.. Sadly with my disability greece maybe off my agenda with all those stairs.. But it looks lovely and I know the ppl from Greece are pretty awesome here in Australia .. And how could you not smile in that tavern..looked like lots of fun to me
If I could give this 2 thumbs up I would, loved it. If your interested in what a concert sounds like at the Theatre of Dionysus Foo Fighters played a PBS special there a few years ago, should be still on TH-cam !
I want to go back there, when I went 2 yrs ago I had just broke my arm in a motorcycle accident, I had a huge cast which hindered my fun, I still enjoy it but I want to go rediscover it
Love the trip through Greece at night! And with all those stairs...who needs a gym? I love me some gyros as well and I'd love to try that beer. Actually, any Greek food I've ever had has been pretty awesome.
Hey guys, my wife and I love your videos!!! One question if I may. How are you handling the difference in currency? Are you paying everything with a credit card? Did you exchange some dollars to Euros? A Med cruise is on our bucket list (Greece especially) and we'd like to spend a couple of days ahead like y'all are doing. Thanks!
We exchanged about $300 cash for euros for small purchases and had a credit card that does not charge and exchange fee for the rest. We you get ready to plan this trip let me know
Thank you! We had never considered Celestyal for a cruise before, until now. Excited to see a decent ship tour from you guys as they are so hit and miss here on YT.
What a beautiful city at night. The first thing I thought when I seen you looking in the amphitheater was "I bet Jason likes the acoustics here" lol and then you said you want to play there lol
Do you think this is a place I could travel? I can’t walk long distances because I have lipedema/lymphedema and I use a scooter. Would it be too difficult? I wish I would have traveled before my legs got this bad.
Love watching you having such fun🤩 My African instincts had me freaking out at all the lonely little graffiti covered alleys you explored. Am I the only one who got the horror movie vibe?😱
Are these kind of places and trips really affordable and attainable for normal working blue collar people ? I love watching your adventures. It’s what helped me decide to do our first cruise last fall ..
I saw a comment that said that the “coliseum” that you came upon was just an amphitheater for plays, not gladiators, which is absolutely true. But actually, the one that you guys went to was fairly modern, built by the romans when they were in occupation of Greece! So you never really know... but, it is still a current and active space for productions and concerts!
The theatre of Dionysus which is where all of the real ancient theatre happened was just down the road, barely past the acropolis. Such a magical place.
I have two dreams that I hope we (husband and I) get to fulfill: Israel and Greece. My maternal grandparents came from Crete, but I want to see other islands, including the mainland. PS: I've been to Athens--Georgia, not Greece, lol.
@@EECCTravels We are currently trying to do this in two years or less for our 50th anniversary. Looking into a transatlantic setup. Thank you for your ❤ Love getting--and giving them! :👩🏽
I was conned by the same thing in Rome, Italy. I am apparently as beautiful as the Virgin Mary. I have him 20€.... I was not happy about that! He better have eaten good that night! Lol
@@live2travel301 i live in Athens ..yes is everywhere ..but its not graffiti at all ..we have a lot amazing graffiti at city ..problem is the tags !! ..but last months in a lot public places situation is better ..anyway i love and Athens is my "Drugs" .. ))
That graffiti is not a good site. I see how you cant make it take over your vacation...but for them to tell you it isn't from gang...or a bad situation is funny. That would be like Chicago telling you it's not gang related. But overlooking it for the beauty. Ty
I love how excited you guys are to see everything . I am going take my 20 year old daughter to Athens this spring. It will be my first time these in 30 years
I live 40mins from central Athens and ur video made me wanna go for a night out in the city tomorrow night😎
Very beautiful in Athens also. Was there over 25years ago when I was in the Navy
Such a beautiful site! I loved Athens of course I was much younger then!
that was a theater no blood and battles
It really is beautiful. So happy you are taking this trip. Be safe.😍 PS. You were at Theatre of Dionysus thought to be world's first theatre. Yanni's live at the Acropolis was performed there.
That is Herodes Atticus Theater, The Theater of Dionysus is 100m on the right.

We have a town close to us, Tarpon Springs, Florida. It is a Greek Fishing village. Makes me want to go for the day. Uphaa,
You got to see a lot in a short amount of time. I almost prefer seeing it at night with all the lights and whatnot. It is kind of weird listening to people not speak English, so I will need to brush up on my Greek by next year! Another amazing video, thanks you two :)
That's an amphitheater the Greeks did plays not gladiators.
I believe Yanni played there.
Ha ha yes we laughed at that too!
Had our Greeks crossed with Romans there for a minute...

Thanks for taking us along
Just to let you know it is Opa. I am so glad you got to go to greece. it is a beatiful place with great people.
Yeah we figured that out a little later that night!
Oh happy day, another episode.....so awesome. Thanks for your posts. So loving this journey. Just living thru your video. Amazing!!!
I just love your adventurous spirit and freestyle method of exploring the city. It's only just begun!!! Anxiously awaiting the next installment. :)
I love your enthusiasm
catching up on all these videos, seriously I want to go on ALL your group cruises, you guys are the best!!

That’s the Athenian amphitheater where all of the worlds first and greatest plays took place ✅🇬🇷❤️ the works of the greatest names ever spoken
Amazing guys keep it up y'all are great
Great job thou I'm assuming it was near Christmas ,not mentioned ,seen light display looks romantic great video
Yasou! In Greece, they put French fries on everything LOL! Thumbs up for learning to correctly pronounce gyros!
Just amazing!!!😀
If I could give this 2 thumbs up I would, loved it.
If your interested in what a concert sounds like at the Theatre of Dionysus Foo Fighters played a PBS special there a few years ago, should be still on TH-cam !
Amazing vlog!
It's not a coliseum .... it's an amphitheater for theatrical plays.
Love you guys blogs.do you think you could give us a little information on what things cost like airfare, hotel, ext. thank you so much for sharing
Yes when the series comes to an end we will do a wrap up video and share this info.
Hi guys! Love ya!
I want to go back there, when I went 2 yrs ago I had just broke my arm in a motorcycle accident, I had a huge cast which hindered my fun, I still enjoy it but I want to go rediscover it
Great video again guys 😀.

Tweety bird!👍💜
Jason... When you're in Greece, and you open a beer, you yell, "Opa!" For celebrating the beer!
yes, there is no "M" , not ompa- that is from Willie Wonka. lol
@@brendalee4672 Glad someone else can verify facts for me... Thank you...
Yeah my bad... I knew that but was saying it wrong for some reason.
Other great Vlog.... I've been traveling more thanks to y'all... I don't vlog......love y'all can't wait until the next vlog
Go to Scotland if you like ruins. We went this past June and fell in love
We are going in May!!
7:31 I think that’s a theater

My African instincts had me freaking out at all the lonely little graffiti covered alleys you explored. Am I the only one who got the horror movie vibe?😱
I know what you mean. We were told this area is very safe, just be aware of your surroundings. Pickpockets are the biggest threat. We felt safe here.
I'm wondering how you chose your hotel? Do you wish you had been closer to the areas you were visiting tonight in the old town.?
We packaged the hotel with our flights and this was a recommended hotel. It was beautiful and I was ok with the short walk.
Are these kind of places and trips really affordable and attainable for normal working blue collar people ? I love watching your adventures. It’s what helped me decide to do our first cruise last fall ..
They really are! This trip was much more affordable than I thought it would be. We made a review video of the trip where we talk about the cost.
It's the Romans that had armed fights in ancient theatres, Greeks never presented anything other than plays in theatres
I believe Elton John played at that amphitheater.
I saw a comment that said that the “coliseum” that you came upon was just an amphitheater for plays, not gladiators, which is absolutely true.

The theatre of Dionysus which is where all of the real ancient theatre happened was just down the road, barely past the acropolis. Such a magical place.
We could see this one from the top of the Acropolis, at least I think I am thinking of the same location
Next stop for Jason, Rome for more ruins. We will be in Rome in May 2020.
Opa is the word. We are going at the end of October. Thanks for the preview.
How many different currency’s did y’all need for this cruise? 😊 ❤️
We had euros and US dollars. Euros were accepted everywhere. The only place we used US currency was Egypt.
Not cobblestone on the streets. It's all marble there.
I have two dreams that I hope we (husband and I) get to fulfill: Israel and Greece. My maternal grandparents came from Crete, but I want to see other islands, including the mainland.
PS: I've been to Athens--Georgia, not Greece, lol.
I hope you can make the trips as well. Both countries were incredible to visit!

Hellenic means anything of Greek origin.
Yes, the country from Hell! (Just joking, I'm Greek as well.)
I was conned by the same thing in Rome, Italy. I am apparently as beautiful as the Virgin Mary. I have him 20€.... I was not happy about that! He better have eaten good that night! Lol
It is a shame that graffiti is every where. Sad part they do it to private areas and also businesses.
Bob Wieters I just commented the same.
Terrible to see.
@@live2travel301 i live in Athens ..yes is everywhere ..but its not graffiti at all ..we have a lot amazing graffiti at city ..problem is the tags !! ..but last months in a lot public places situation is better ..anyway i love and Athens is my "Drugs" .. ))
Άλλο τό ωραίο γκράφιτι , μία ωραία αισθητική ζωγραφιά , σέ κατάλληλο τοίχο όπου επιτρεπεται , καί άλλο , οι άσχημες μουτζουρες , τά συνθήματα , πού γίνονται ανεξέλεγκτα , σέ κατοικίες , καί ρολά καταστημάτων , πού δεν σέβονται τις περιουσίες καί τίς ιδιοκτησίες τών ανθρώπων !!!!
Lol. Colosseum...omg...I'm dying over here. You two are too much sometimes.
Mythos means...myth
athens is so beautiful...but the graffiti is disgusting
Hellenic in Greek means Greek /Hellas =Greece
Good thing the ruins are protected because no doubt they'd be apparently covered in graffiti...
I don’t care for the graffiti. Looks ugly and not pleasant to see.
That graffiti is not a good site. I see how you cant make it take over your vacation...but for them to tell you it isn't from gang...or a bad situation is funny. That would be like Chicago telling you it's not gang related. But overlooking it for the beauty. Ty
Great video but I think if you are going to film people like the nut guy you should at least buy a bag of nuts, just my thoughts
