Viva Grecia!
Hi! I'm from Hungary. I always visit Greece every summer. Nafplio is one of my favorite cities. Always fun to see the everyday life of Greek people. I found your channel today but it seems very interesting so I subscribed. :) Best wishes!
Sydney, Australia 😊
Porto Portugal,quem me dera poder voltar à Grecia.
I told you before and I'm telling you again...
You are one of us now 😉
Tsipiro........a medicine for the soul😊
Τσίπουρο - Tsipouro 👌

Hello from Melbourne Australia. As an Australian Greek I’m really enjoying your videos. Thanks so much
I am from Portugal, I'll be travelling for the first time to Greece now in July. It has been amazing to watch your videos!
As usual we had a good giggle and a few sips last night at Παναγιώτης.
I admire you and your vlogs ... Bravo 👏👏👏 καλή συνέχεια ... I'm half Greek/Egyptian living in Cairo, Egypt, and in Aθens during summer months... my daughters live in Aθens... I follow up all your vlogs daily... and I wish we could meet one day in real, if we go to Nafplio, or if you come to Aθens... 🙏 by the way I'm a musician "Classic Music" I play the Flute... I love all your music...
Alexander the great once said that you don't need to be born in Greece to be a Greek. You only need to think like a Greek and embody Hellenic values.
Isocrates said that. But he didn't say "think like a Greek" but to "share the Greek education". Which is a little different from the lifestyle. Education is something you work at.
My Greek language teacher, Evgenia, here on Syros, her parents lived in Venezuela - she came here when she was 5. They are of Greek heritage though. She said a lot of people came back back then, due to the economy, even back then. She said there used to be a big Greek community there. Which we still have in Australia. You look very Australian in those flip flops Daniel))
There are more people of Greek heritage living outside of Greece than Greeks from Greece 😏
Huge diaspora, I doubt there is a country that Greeks haven't immigrated to 😉

I travel to Lefkada next week, second year, super excited. Last year I visit Lefka, Halkidiki, Thasos, Greece is amaizing
You just bring me some childhood memories from my hometown puerto cabello. Grandma and my uncles used to sit on their plastic chairs in front of the house just to see people passing by and talk to each other from afternoon until sleeping time. 🥺
Hi Daniel, great video 👍
Here in a Canadian city Toronto where I live everyone is so busy with their hectic life there is no time to speak with your neighbours. Life in Nafplio is much more slower paced that’s for sure.
Hola Daniel. Buenos días desde Vancouver, Canada.
North Carolina!! & great video!!
Jiasas, it’s amazing how a cosmopolitan, finds joy at the minor things in life, a walk, the sea, a drink etc….
I love the perspective you are giving us through these videos - thank you 🙏
I share your videos with my husband and enjoy watching them together. We are going back to Greece this Summer - we are in love with this country!
We are both born and raised in America but my parents are Colombian and his parents are Mexican and I noticed there is a lot of similarities in Greece in the culture and even how shops and the streets are laid out. Sometimes it feels like Greece is the Latin American in Europe haha
Anyway thank you for sharing!
Οι Έλληνες έχουν περισσότερα κοινά με τους Βαλκάνιους και τους Λατίνοαμερικανους πάρα με τους υπόλοιπους Ευρωπαίους. 🇬🇷
Love Greece.Just come back from Kefalonija.🇬🇷❤
Hola amigos Daniel Rodrigo and takis.mui bien video's.❤
Hi Daniel, another interesting insight into daily greek life. Would you be able to talk about/shoot a video on your wife's perspective on Greece? was she more than happy to move or were there reservations and how did you come to the decision of moving together?
His wife is Greek, all her family is in Greece
Hello, born & raised Greek from Philadelphia, USA.
Congrats on your good work showcasing Greece.
I’ve never done a TH-cam video so I don’t know whether you re “stuck” with its translation” tool. If it allows overriding it please type «τσίπουρο», “tsipouro” not, “Chapo, cheaper, cheap poodle” that last one had me laughing 😂instead of the words TH-cam made up by the sound.
“Bakaliko” instead of “balico”
Also please clarify was Panayotis drinking ouzo? You said “mastiha” and I was curious if ouzo is what you meant.
"mastiha" is a sweet liqueur produced with the mastiha tree resin from Chios. It is usually consumed as a digestif and it has become quite popular in the last 10-15 years. If you haven't tried it already, it's a must try on your next visit. Take care.
Just want to say you are doing a great job with this channel. Love the topics, very informative and honest. I am in a similar position here in this beautiful country. Peace.
Greek Australian here... Awesome content. Thank you
Thumb's up for tsipouro, thumb's down for padofla from the wife/girlfriend/mother if you drink tsipouro (if you know what i mean).
Padofla in greek(?) Means sleepers usually wore at the beach and/or house. They are landed at the head of the husband/boyfriend/son head
Padofla : flip flops
😂😂😂
"Padofla" is also used for naming open ferries (e.g. ferries from Piraeus to Perama)
@@elimonchanneland navy landing ships / troops carriers 😉
The real name of this is sayonara somehow we call flip flops that way in Greece😂
You’re a great ambassador for Greece. Like everybody else I’m loving what you’re doing

Nafplio, what a place! Your Greek are also impressive! Well done!
my pc teacher miss Vasiliki, when i was to school maaaaaaaaany years ago is half Venezuelan
καλημερα αδελφε μου, εισαι σα και μας πλεον
ahhh, the best Shop in Nafplio :D Always nice to see !
Hello from Kastoria, Καλημέρα από Καστοριά 😊
From Athens ❤
Just a little tip : drink your tsipouro with a glass instead of plastic cup! It tastes much better! Enjoy ! ❤😊
Greeks are very social
We sit outside in the afternoon talking about anything drinking ouzo and share simple snacks with no missing feels like my youth again
Great video!
🎉 From Athens Greece. Lived in Birmingham for a year. Life over there is very different, not my cup of tea ☕
thank you for sharing! Love these type of videos!!!
Thanks my friend and thanks for you support!
i love you dude! i watch all your videos, they are just so interesting!
I understand it must be hard to build a friendship group but joining local groups, chatting to locals you’ll make good friends easily, I think. Hertfordshire uk. Whenever I visit Greece there’s something about it, the people, the food, the beauty it’s special, my favourite country so far
Greece belongs to the whole world! So envious of the landscape and the lifestyle there
2025 i will visit both of you.Greetings from Turkey.
Hello from Toronto. Still have relatives in Athens and Sparti. Love Nafplio Will be in Greece in September. Love your videos
Can't get over how much good food is in a small shop!!!!! In the UK we have small shops but they only stock cheap food and lloads of rubbish. Hope the Greeks keep their culture but have doubts.
Thats a great video and you really showed how life is in Greece in small towns/ villages, just go out of your house, find a friend and have a chat and a drink...❤
Kepasa senior Να είστε καλα εσύ και η οικογένεια σου .σε βλέπω απο το sydney australia 🇦🇺
hello from Athens.
You're doing a good job following your dream. Even if it wasn't easy, i'm sure your wife understood your dream and wanted to support it ❤
Make sure you tag those tsipouro bottles properly... Thirsty tsipouro accidents are the worst :D
Είσαι αξιολατρευτος! =You are adorable.

🧿🇬🇷
Venezuela vs Mexico (COPA)
Congratulations on a well-deserved victory! You must be thrilled! What a win! I'm sure this victory means so much to your country. There's going to be a huge celebration tonight for sure. So happy for you and your team!
Viva Venezuela!!!!
Really enjoying all your videos.
Great work 👏👏
Nafplio looks beautiful and will definitely visit.
Hello from Holland,
I went to Παναγιώτης shop two days ago for wine, tsipouro, and trahana to bring home. He is very nice. A place like his is no longer commonplace in the US. It is good for community.
What do you think of Greek coffee?
I love Greece but I couldn’t live there full time because they are t great with cats, I know even in the England but there’s alot of help for strays if I lived there I’d want to open a rescue centre and I couldn’t afford that plus I’d miss my family a lot and it would be starting from scratch again it’s ok if you know the language fluently, I would like to learn Greek actually but I do love England too, you have a wife so it’s better than a single person starting again. Booked Kos fir next September I can’t wait
❤
Where is his shop? I would like to stop by when I go to Nafplio next year
Where I live it's not allowed anymore to put chairs outside on the pavement and sit there with family, have a chat with your neighbor or with people passing by. Because "it's obstructing the follow of people passing on the pavement". How sad is that!!!
🏴🙏
Is there a video where you say what job are you doing in Greece?
Oh so you already knew each other :D. I see what you did there... 🤔🤔
You sold me on Greece but not all of us can work online. We still need to eat and feed our kids. My job doesn’t really work on line Greece jobs don’t pay! You should make a video on that. A lot of Greeks are leaving Greece because of that. I understand the grass is greener on the other side. Beautiful skies and water don’t put food on table
It really depends on a lot of factors
For example if you have a place to live in, if you can buy an apartment or whatever can make a huge difference
What kind of job you do
Alot of jobs are basic income style but there are sectors out there well paid
About 900.000 Greeks left the country after the 08 crisis but here is the thing
The vast majority of them had university degrees that were desperately needed in northern Europe, medical professionals, lawyers ect an average guy has no chance of a better life as an immigrant and that's why as we say here in Greece many of them returned with the " tail behind the legs"
It's also very common to see Greek companies earning contracts in Abroad and rotate workers from Greece almost like a military deployment, instead of locals because Greek technicians and blue collar workers have a good name 😉
Ofc those workers are going to get 5 or even 6 times the amount of money they would have gotten working the entire year in Greece
Other well paid sectors are shipping, restaurant business, truck driving ( international transports) and self employment at anything that doesn't have to do with domestic markets
If you are really into it you can make it
Probably you will never become rich in Greece but you can definitely make a modest lifestyle if it's what you are looking 😉
@@Pavlos_Charalambous are you born and raised in Greece or a person made money outside of Greece and moved there?
I'm a trucker from America is trucking jobs easy to come there.
Can we have visit your gym.. And services

How about florina... Cost of living and culture
How would he know? It is in a totally different place of the country, on the mountains, near the northern borders. Same country, but vastly different location. E.g. He might see snow once per 5 years in Nafplio and have snow in Florina for at least 2 months per year.
Oh I guess you can't shop at Lidl ))
