The perfect place for groceries is the street market, in Greece it's called laikí ağorá. You can buy fruit, vegetables, fish, nuts and eggs. The rest you can get from a supermarket chain like Sklavenítis, Alfavíta Vasilópoulos or Lidl, etc. The only problem is that street market is only once a week 08:00-15:00. But if you can find time, you can ask the locals what street and what day there's a market. It's really worth it, because everything is cheaper and better.
Thanks for the info! When I lived in Rhodes city we had a big market every saturday and smaller market on wednesday. Haven't yet seen markets open in smaller villages near south Rhodes but I will ask around. We are usually going to Lidl to buy as much we need for month and also Bazaar and finally local shops for smaller everyday stuff. As we do not have a car then we are planning ahead a little bit 🤗
Thanks for the video Joosep!
Thank you for watching! ✌️🤪
I am really happy you enjoy Greece. Please stay as long as you can. All the best brother.
Thank you for your support! Your words mean a lot to me 🫶🤗
For us in sweden we can live in greece because we have insurance from sweden all EUROPE THANKS GOD 🙏 I love greece and every year visit greece like crête or Rhodos and lixia or zagnos all greece beautiful and good 🇬🇷😍❤️
That is awesome! Yes Crete and Rhodes are nice! I hope to explore all Greek Islands 🤗
I too live in Kiotari..I walk the route you walked in the video almost every day in the winter months. Enjoy your stay in Kiotari.
We will see how it is during winter months. It will be very quiet I think 🤪
@@looneytravels winter is very quiet and very nice. Maybe I will see you walking about ....
@@janetteheap6746 There is a big chance of meeting 🤗 I go walk almost every day 🤗
Bureaucracy in Greece: unfortunately, nobody gets it that it is so pointless, stupid and harmful. Nobody, neither the politicians nor the citizens. It is incurable.
I hope it changes on day but. When I calculated then it took me total of 3 months together just to get basic documents into order. I see it as a lot of waste of time and resources🙄
I advise you stay betters it’s very beautiful country and nice people mor better Dan sweden 🇸🇪 and Estonian because the weather amazing in greece 🇬🇷 I love ❤️ so much 😍❤️
Thank you for your support! 🤗
Thank you for your video.
I like the simplicity of your descriptions.
Where are you filming from? What town, or island are you in?
In terms of the pointless bureaucracy in Greece; I agree with you. It's pathetic. And I think it's because they want money at every turn. If not, then have your 'fakelaki' ready. It's bad & what's more incredible is that Greeks in Greece think it's fine & normal.
Once again, thank you for your vlog. I'll be watching more from you now. No ego, just sincere honesty which I like.
Thank you for your kind words! They mean alot to me 🤗 I am a simple person 🤪 At the moment living in Rhodes, first year was in Rhodes town but from this year we moved to Kiotari in south Rhodes and slowly expanding to other 227 Islands in Greece. Island hopping series starts from september so we try to spice things up. Most of the videos are done about this island. I think about paperwork - every time I go and sign a document, it seems abit weird that someone has a job to watch if you are the real person who signs this document. I am pretty sure these things are that way and won't change because they are keeping jobs for Greek people. I always wonder how is it to work one day as a "signature watcher" 🫠 I am trying to make more Greece vlog type videos, I have to think some good video ideas 🤗
Thanks.
You are welcome 🤗
@@looneytravels Have you been to Thessalonika?
@@piggymalone1 Yes when we drove all the way from Estonia to Rhodes then we made a stop at Thessaloniki and watched amazing umbrellas near the sea 🤗 Hope one day we can come longer to explore
Weather. It looks deathly dry. Trees half dead. If you were involved in agriculture you might feel differently about thé weather.
Yes there are so many negative things in life
@@looneytravels life requires water
@@MsMesem Yes I know
Thanks for the video, some very interesting things that you wouldn't otherwise notice as a tourist 👍 Are there things that particularly surprised you after emigrating that you never thought of? Or are there things you would have done differently if you could go back in time?
Thanks! One thing that surprised me after emigrating was the how locals invite people over or order something if houses do not have any addresses, house numbers or street names. At the moment I live in unspecified road on google maps😅 The second one is that if you say you live here then you have to learn greek. Probably every Greek we meet asks if I speak Greek and if I say No then they like force that I have to learn Greek. But the thing with that is, the more someone forces you to do something, the less you want to do it. It is almost the same someone comes to me and says I have to be Vegan and eat vegetables from now on and no meat for the rest of your life - that is the reason we say we are Tourists when going out. Second topic that is impossible to explain to locals is explaining that you work at home on computer or youtube. If you don't work in a hotel - you are nobody. Now on we kinda avoid these topics in conversation. I would not change anything because I believe every step we make is good for something but we don't know until we watch our choices 1-2 years back and connect the dots.
