In northern Greece, the stable breakfast is bougatsa with milko or rodopaki, or coffee
Lovely country with breathtaking views and flavorsome food🩵
I am Greek and I have coffee and koulouri every morning and I am not old.
Greek-German watching from Berlin 🧿☺️
Living the dream 💙
Καλησπέρα από Θεσσαλονίκη στο αγαπημένο Ναυπλιο!!!love your videos !!!
It's always a pleasure seeing one of your videos pop up in my feed. Breakfast is indeed something variable in Greece. It may involve a single slice of rustic bread(most bakeries make quality bread, not the sweet stuff they make in the US) with butter and honey or jam to go along with the morning coffee. In northern Greece it is more common to eat a mpougatsa (various fillings from cheese to minced meat, spinach or sweet creme with cinnamon and powdered sugar) or as you demonstrated a fresh koulouri. It is more like a snack than a breakfast. Greetings from Thessaloniki!
I know the local food from crete. I was there eight times to make holiday. I have a lot of friends there. I am from Germany.
Greetings from Thessaloniki!
I really like your videos and the details of the everyday life living in Greece, especially the differences in the culture. Wish they were longer!!
Greetings from the USA. My husband and I will be visiting in October 2025 on a cruise! We really enjoy watching all your videos…sites and food! Can’t wait.
Another gorgeous , cute , helpful video, increases the appetite to visit in Nafplio this summer, Tnx.
I used to eat κουλουρι for breakfast with black olives and haloumi cheese and black tea in Cyprus as a child!.
My traditional Greek breakfast has been, for years, a coffee and a cigarette :D Love your videos :)
Mmmmmmm love koulouria and LOVE. Nafplion
Thank you for the lovely video.. Yes it is true living in a small place you get too know the people in the shop's and they become friends..
You drink Greek coffee/Turkish coffee or do you drink espresso? The coffee in Greece is the best! All of it including the Espresso Fredo
I would say the "Greek breakfast" is either a tyropita or a spanakopita or even better a cream bugatsa, a coffee, kuluri, stafidopsomo, depends on the regions too, in Crete they could have wine with bread as ancient Greeks or mountain tea with paximadi.
@@geogeo2299 It's a rusk. There are various kinds of it, depending on the type of flour used, whether it contains olive oil, etc.
Milko? bah!
Koukaki is the way to go if you want the best chocolate milk in the world ;)
With bougatsa, of course.
The BEST snack ever , delicious with a little cheese , Thank you for you amazing videos 🙏🩵🙏👏👏👏
Greetings from Canada! I'm Greek/Canadian. I'm really enjoying your videos! I've been to Greece twice but it's been so long. Thank you for taking the time to talk about all things Greek. 🇬🇷🍷
That was a good Greek free lesson : ) I think she said "Kartoula" and you said "Psila" did I get that right?
Exactly. She asked if he wanted to pay with card and he replied that he would pay with change 👍
Or he could say "metritA", which is cash.
Thanks from Sweden, great work!
Watching from Traverse City, Michigan USA! We’re excited for our first visit to Greece in October. Thank you for your videos - I’m hoping to learn enough about the culture and traveling tips to get the most from our trip!
Greek American here. My dream is to retire in Nafplio
Hey there neighbour! When are we having mezes with Tsipouro with the Papoudes at the Mezedopolio? Lol
brav0 daniel! you are truly greek! its all about the heart! your connection and your passion! I am watching from Brisbane Australia! your videos are truly amazing! your greek is 100 percent perfect!!!!!!!!!! I love the way you love and embrace our greek culture! so glad I found your channel!
Wow, thank you so much my friend!
Greece my favourite country I just came back and I already planning for next year to go back for three months I am not Greek but Greece was born in me
Koulouri is my favorite "to go" snack. Whenever I am in Athens city center I always make a point to stop at my favorite koulouri stand at the top of Syntagma square near the large staircase and enjoy one of the fresh and fluffy koulouria. They are so good! 😋
My lord, my heart is Aching , we used to buy fresh psomi and yogurt every morning 😢❤ Greece has a special place in my heart ❤️ 🇬🇷🙏
JUST SUBSCRIBED. CONGRATULATIONS,THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDEOS,ENJOY,I WISH YOU HEALTH AND ALL THE BEST. HAVE A WONDERFUL GREEK SUMMER. 👏👏🌷🌷
Beautiful, my wife's favorite. We are coming later in the season. I plan on visiting Nafplio and stopping by Panagiotis' shop. Maybe I will figure out a way to contact you prior to our arrival so we can say hello to you too.
Hello Daniel, love your videos, will be visiting Nafplio with my family mid June, hope we cross paths and see you during our walks around the palamidi cliffs (also our favorite walking path in your videos). Greetings from Canadian Greeks soon to be visiting beautiful Nafplio!

Oh Man, I miss Koulouri, which to me is as good as a NY pretzel! Hate to tell you this, but we used to put either a bit of cream cheese, or some French's mustard on our Koulouri :) Love the quaint town you live in.
Amazing breakfast
Ουάου! Πολύ όμορφο το Ναύπλιο! Πρέπει να το επισκεφτώ σύντομα!
I LOVE koulouri whenever I'm in Greece...hope to get there NEXT YEAR...Oh P.S....my tatoo artist is in Greece also..she's in Athens , She has a great hand with fine detail.. can't wait to extend on her current work...Thanks for the Video helps me keep in touch...GOOD WORK Sir...!!!
I miss Milko and Tiropeida 🙂 as breakfast ...
Florida, USA
Μπουγάτσα με Γλυκια Κρεμα και Φρεδο Καπουτσινο στην Χανια
In ancient Greece they call it κολλύρα or κόλλυξ.
Cyrillic. Not ancient just greek.
Γειά σου Daniel.
Make a trip up north and try the traditional bougatsa. Now that's the best way to start the day.
Greetings fm İstanbul. Nice video
Ohhhhhhhhh a tattoo shop.. lol I’m going to Athens for 3 weeks in October.. I’d love to get a tat while there! postage stamp, or something like it..
Koulouri and maybe coffee the elders and koulouri and feta or salami the youngest
Our family will be there in a couple of weeks. I will find you on the promenade walk ;) keep making your videos !
Yiassou Daniel. My wife and I are Greek Americans from California. We will be visiting Greece in July, including Nafplio. Do you have some restaurant recommendations, i.e.: where the locals go, not tourists?
Hi!! Definitely visit Lykos, a fish taverna in paralia Mili and also the traditional tavernas (like T'alonia) in Pyrgiotika!! Inside Nafplio the best place to eat fish is the taverna Psarosavouras-top!!
@@ourlifeinnafplio Thanks, maybe we run into you on one of your walks.
Καλησπέρα.. είναι όπως τα λες, εδώ στην Ελλάδα δεν τρώμε πρωινό.. οι γονείς μου απλά έπιναν Ελληνικό καφέ κ τίποτα άλλο ή κάποιες φορές μαζί και κανένα κουλούρι.
So many memories!!!! I Remember the high school trip !! 😢😢 time flies…
You should make a video discussing how Spanish sounds phonetically like greek.
Watching from Dallas, TX U.S.A
Απ το Χιουστον... Φιλιά
Θα ρίξουμε με το Γάλλο άντρα μου, γ να βρούμε σπιτακι..
Good job my friend. From kingsville Canada. Αχ Ωραίο κουλουράκι. Να είχα ένα με κασέρι.
The koulouri is part of the shared culture of Greek and Turkey. Which is quite fortunate for me, a German currently living in Neukölln, an immigrant neighbourhood of Berlin. Because the Turkish bakeries here sell simit, which is exactly the same thing. You can also get simits with various fillings (obviously in a different shape), and occasionally you can even see attempts to establish special simit places similar to American doughnut places. The only problem with koulouri/simit here in Germany is that they are far more expensive than in Greece or Turkey. You can easily pay 2 Euros rather than 80 cent as in the video. By the way, the Turkish bakeries / pastry shops here also have the Turkish named tiropita and spanakopita, as well as the mixed cookies sold by weight as presents for hosts that I came to love when once staying in Thessaloniki for a few weeks. Actually, I am not sure if there is any significant difference between Greek and Turkish baking culture.
Unfortunately, I can't make much use of all this for weight control reasons. It's impossible to live the kind of Mediterranean lifestyle here that allows eating these high calorie foods daily without getting fat. (Unlike for Greeks, this is evidently a problem for a lot of Turks, too.)
watching from melbourne! can't wait to head to nafplio for a wedding soon, thank you for the inspiring video! and please don't call yourself as elderly 🤣 age is just a number!
good information you have daniel,hope you are okay there.
Greece is my favorite country so far. The Greeks in USA think I'm crazy for saying that. They think I am crazy for loving Greece so much because they had to leave because they said Greece is very poor.
We left Greece but now we all are coming back
I wouldn't say very poor compared to other eastern European countries but it's poor compared to what it was before the crisis of 2007. We haven't managed to bounce back since then or maybe we are are bouncing back in very slow rates. For tourism it's one of the best places on earth but living here you have to accept the plague of government corruption and the whole government/government employees rotten system that sucks the blood out of every private employee and small business owner
Corruption is Global, my friend...
The US is at the💔 of this Tech nocracy...
We are returning to Greece!
maybe their jealous! im Australian born greek and I want to go to visit Greece at m some stage! Greece is beautiful!
@@jimwatkins3134 Australia is supposed to be very nice. I haven't been. I did aee a lot of Australians in Athens though as tourists.
We have the same bread in the Netherlands...it is called Simit and you can only buy them in a Turkish grocery store ..... unfortunately these are to dry ...they cost €2 ....i don't buy them anymore
Same exact stuff for sale on the street in Κωνσταντινούπολη.
It is called Gevrek here in BG
Ah Daniello, i would definitely choose a local bakery (fourno) instead of a franchise l. Always when i travel to Eparhia i prefer local bakeries.
Freddo espresso, μπουγάτσα και μισό πακέτο τσιγάρα
Wow around the same time two Venezuelans decided to upload videos about the pros and cons of living in Greece. You should meet each other and do a collaboration! :D. Here's his channel www.youtube.com/@thisismylifeingreece. Que Casualidad!
I've been to that town, amazing, people are so friendly......but honestly I don't like Koulouri ...but the Mille-feuille is the best in the world.
Where is the spanakopita bro??the bread with butter and honey??tyropita??
The original traditional greek breakfast is one single ελληνικός (ibrik) coffee and two chain-smoked cigarettes !!

I am also from Nafplio and hope I run into you sometime. I am also into music production part time!
I am watching from Belgrade (Serbia capital). Whole my family adore Greece. We are usually in northern Greece (Halkidiki region). My dream is to live there.
Very nice video, I can’t start my day without breakfast, 🇨🇦🇬🇷
giannitsa macedonia very close to ancient pella
Από το Βέλγιο...
How did you learn your Greek?
You have to be a foreign resident to be obsessed with a true and authentic local.
I'll take that as a compliment 🇬🇷
koulouri thessalonikis
Ειπιτελους ενα μαγαζι που εχει Ελληνικο ονομα.
Milko & τυρόπιτα or ζαμπονοτυροπιτα is a guaranteed visit to the toilet within minutes….
Frape and cigs is the only true breakfast.
Γειά σας, τι είπατε όταν παραγγείλατε: ένα κουλούρι...; ξέρω ότι υπάρχει μαλακό και σκληρό.
Είπε αφράτο !!
@@ourlifeinnafplio είναι το ίδιο με μαλακό;
@@davygabriels7971 Ναι!!! Απλά είναι μια άλλη λέξη! Soft or Fluffy !
What is a"milko"?
chocolate milk!
It's a crime to order "afrato" soft koulouri.
😂 true!! I always go for the opposite! Τραγανό 😊
ναι το τραγανο ειναι ποιο νοστιμο αλλα το αφρατο το γεμιζεις με οτι θελεις μεσα
Coffee with cigarettes is the real greek breakfast.
Yes, you are right 🇬🇷
Avoid chocolate milk (Milko) and bougatsa with cream in the morning, unless you want to spend the day in the toilet 😄
However, It's perfect if you are constipated 😂
True 😂
Food for glucose spikes. 🤷🏽😔
Iam genuine Greek who is trying to escape from this damned place and coulouri is not greek breakfast its dekatiano , something to eat between meals
First of all the correct spelling is (I am) not (Iam) You seem to have forgotten that as you were editing your negative comment. Also, let me tell you that you are wrong, Κουλούρι It’s for breakfast. Plus, why are you watching my videos if you want to escape Greece? Shouldn’t you be watching videos about “escaping” Greece? Καλημέρα and good luck to you in whatever it is you do.
@@MyGreekLifestyle i didnt comment negativelly your comment but Greece Im 64 year old Greek never ate koulouri for breakfast I had 1 drachma to buy one koulouri (i,5 drachma costed with a slice of cheese) in between classes at school back in the 60s. You "met" Greece in its worst period we have ever seen.If you enjoy financial benefits We (Greeks) "enjoy" more taxes. 20 drs coin even on the junta period was from pure silver instead the european 20 cent coinig jui (which is more) and the economy then was thriving 2nd economy after Japan globally. With 100 drs (40 cents) you could order in a taverna a big steak fried potatoes and salad and you had still money to buy cigarettes as well. Spinach pie costed 2 drs. before entering the euro zone. There arent any videos escaping this mess...who gives a sh#t about Greeks? See how many foreigners like you are making videos about Greece. Have you seen Geeks experiencing their every day lives?
@@MyGreekLifestyle i also lived in London 2017-2018 ....actually in what is left from London after the invasion of foreigners....First time there was in 1973 totally diferent from todays poverty.
I look forward to your videos I am trying to learn Greek but you talk too fast for me,my fault🫶🏴
