I love your channel and subscribed last week. I can’t believe you don’t have more subscribers. I’m in South Africa and watching your videos takes me back to happy memories ❤. I also love your accent/ voice 😊
Thank you so much for your kind words! You comment made my day actually, it is really sweet! Thank you for your support, it is actually a new channel and it has been growing fast, so I believe in the following months it will grow even more! I love South Africa, I had the chance to visit Johannesburg few years back, but only for one day! It was Christmas day though and everything was closed, but I was so amazed with the food! It was sooo good! I still think back on those ribs!

Thank you so much for your kind words! I haven’t been to the Kaisariani Monastery but I have heard that it is very nice! I have been, though, to the broader area which is really beautiful! It is the beginning of the mountain Imittos and people go there to walk around or ride their bikes 🚲! It is really nice! The closest bus stop is 40 minutes walking distance from the Monastery, in case you are going with public transportation.
Nice, but probably not what i would do if I had 24 in Athen. It would be more like eat and drink, local culture etc. What I would like to know, when i hopefully come to Athen one day, Is where to go. Away form the worst turist spots. I have only been on the Greek islands and know to stay away form harbor because you pay more for the view then the food. 😄
More videos are on the way for more local experiences and culture about Greece! The whole purpose that I started this channel is to show the true beauty of Greece apart from the touristic things! But still there are people that only have a few days available and they want to see the major points of interests! Greece has something for everyone and this video is for that person who travels as a tourist, more videos are coming for those who travel as explorers!

Thank u for this vid full of good idea!! Elena, we would like to visit Kaisariani Monastery. Do you think it's worth it? Safe place? ❤
