Greek food is very tasty! The Greeks are very hospitable! The Greeks gave the world a great civilization!
Hello everyone from California!
Hello from thessaloniki not all Greeks are hospitable that goes the same for Americans or other country people😊😊😊 respectfully talking, btw I wish I could move to usa but I can't ig
Thank you for the kind words. I hope you make it to Greece.
The thing that "tastes like soap" actually tastes like rose. It's rose-petal flavored "turkish delight". But since you don't use to eat or make sweets out of rose petals (like Greeks do) you associated with soaps, where the rose essence is used in the West. But it has nothing to with glycerine or soap (of course), or soap taste. It just has the same aroma as rose-flavored soap (and smell is a big part of taste experience, so you associated it with that). If it actually did taste like soap, you'd spit it out in a second 🙂
Haha, I thought the same thing!😂They liked the "flower drink" but not the delight made from rose water 🤣
I love greek, from Afghanistan
Long live in Greece
🇬🇷🇦🇫
Thank you for the kind words.

My type of travelers. Intelligent and fun. Looking for the more traditional experiences and true lovers of good food . Always admire someone who drinks beer for breakfast.
Thank you for visiting our country, guys! Hope you had fun!
I loved your video tour; Greek food is delicious! you are a nice couple
The beer ΒΕΡΓΙΝΑ is the name of the village( and region) VERGINA where the museum-vaulted-tomb is, of King Filippos the father of Alexander the Grate in Macedonia , next to the city of Veria. You spell it the same way..
And ΑΣΠΡΟ ΑΛΟΓΟ means white horse and it sounds like (a)spro (a)logo . You put the tone in a. For everyone to know so they can find it easily. Your video was exquisite! Thank you so much for showing our country to the world!⚘
I hope you can come again and travel in the islands or meteora, or Macedonia(Thessaloniki-Veria--Kastoria-Katerini....) or Peloponnese...
and try some of the best food-palates of our traditional cuisine.
Have a great summer wherever you are!!
The greek food is the best food in all over the world my cute friends 😊
We ate at the same hole in the wall restaurant a couple of times and stayed at the hotel Athos directly opposite in 2018, the shots they give you is mastika. Great place, you were lucky to find it.
Mastiha is the best
Love your video.. will add those places to my bucket list of places to try … hoping to go this year to Greece .. thanks 🙏
Ouzo (anise flavor) is clear. When you add it to water, it turns cloudy.
12€ for an oyster in this place? No... One of you got lost in translation
Next time instead of a hot "Greek" coffee you need to get an iced coffee. That's the real national drink of Greece.
Mmmm.
she speaks so clean and her accent is very nice.
i am from grecce and i reeeaally apriciated that you guys liked our food and our culture
Greece/Athens is beautiful.
Hope you like our country 🙂
Δεν το πιστεύω βούτηξε το λουκούμι στον καφέ
Ότι να ναι.
You look like Greek couple really!
The soup was excellent choice because the materials (fish) are what we call by the hour meaning that they just got out of sea. These kind of little fish taste better if they are cooked on spot. Another excellent soup and favourite of mine is eggdrop soup with lots of lemon and stuffed meatballs with rice. This recipe is also good with chicken or with those meatballs wrapped in cabbage. Many don’t like the last choice but if you cook the cabbage with a piece of dried bread in a net hanging in the pot they don’t smell at all.
I have been to that last restaurant yesterday. That men works his butt of all day. He is so nice and the food is amazing!
You two are just great! Such a positive and kind vibe :) Well done guys!!
Nice and beautiful couple. Άσπρο Άλογο / Aspro Alogo means white horse. Βεργίνα / Vergina pronounced : Vergeena (I-Y-H-EI-OI) are ALWAYS pronounced ee like "pick".
Meanwhile the "e" doesn't sound "ee" 🤣Let's confuse the foreigners.
Wait what kind of beer? 😂 great video guys, we’re going to Athens in October and we’ll be using a few of your recommendations!
You guys are so good at this. Your enthusiasm shines through, and you're so natural. Really hope this channel takes off for you.
You look a lot like a greek couple!
I hope you have spend a good time here...
Luke and Paulie, you guys are awesome. hugs from Iraq
Thank you so much to share your experience!!Your video is one of the view videos,wich everything is very natural,and you have choozen the really god places to eat.And also the mixture with the greek street musicians made your video perfect ,natural and also unique!!Ahh. the name f restaurant ,,Aspro Alogo"means in english,White horse.
Vergina is βεργίνα. Ιt’s the burial city where the tomb of the father of Alexander the Great, Fillipos was discovered. It’s the equivalent of Karnak in Egypt.
Guys maybe you had a miscommunication there? 12 euros for one oyster? I'm sure the owner meant "one (plate of) oyster" even if you wanted to clarify and asked him back "12 euros for one oyster?" I'm sure he would reply "Yes for one oyster" (again meaning, OF COURSE for one plate/one portion of oyster) When you order "one potatoes" you get a plate/portion of potatoes.
Even in your own country, can you go to a restaurant and order ONE oyster? Nobody charges you by the one, it's a restaurant, they have plates of food.
great video, I enjoyed it a lot, great job on the food, the sites and the cinematography. You both are very beautiful people.
in the USA you can order oysters individually in many restaurants
When was the last time you ate soap? What you ate is a loukoumi. Also known as Turkish delight because the Turks make it too. They're a flavored firm yet gooey jelly-like candy dusted with icing sugar. They come in a variety of flavors, orange, lemon, mint, and rose petals
which are probably the ones you ate. Rose petals is quite a unique flavor and an acquired taste if you never had them before.
Depending the place that you are in Greece, you'll find difference's. For example in west Islands at Ionio sea, you'll find very easy rabbit in red sauce with very strong and spicy cheese etc.
Come again to Greece.
Ευχαριστούμε πολύ.
Good night from Papua New Guinea. I enjoyed watching your contents
That Audrey Hepburn look in the thumbnail certainly got my attention!
Happy new year, with health, nice video,
By the way Dude.. you should try Stand Up Comedy.. you could be a Star 🙂
Nice TH-cam channel guys, both alternative and bon-viveur!! 🎉By the way, although living in Athens, I didn't know taverna Klimataria! 😅 But keep in mind we don't eat every kind of animal in Greece, some animals like dogs, cats, horses, are considered seriously uncivilized to eat. We eat fish, lamp, pork, chicken!!Although we have a quite cruel tradition when we roast lamps for cooking during Easter holidays.😢 Also, there are many middle- aged people working in food market or tavernas who don't speak proper English, they just translate greek expressions!! So, when we say "one patatoes" in Greece, we mean one plate of potatoes... Pretty much that was the misunderstanding you had with the oysters! Love you guys, keep up the nice work 👍
thank you for explaining the oysters! That makes a lot of sense now
GREEK FOOD AND GREECE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WHAT YOU WANT TO SHOW!
The Mediterranean diet is admittedly the diamond of the world diet. Greece has high standards of gastronomy.
Greek culture has been an inspiration for world culture since ancient times.
Wake up and accept it!
Yeah, but chill man. This is our own kind of fast-food. But still, even our fast-food is better than elsewhere. The guy went and experienced the every-day life. The working-class. When we work and wander around, we don't have time to fix our healthy Mediterranean diet, do we?
Love this video
Hello guys...Please would you tell how is the climate in december in Athens?
Paulie is so fire dayum
Great video. Thanks 👍
Beautiful vlog dear
i loved
Greek Food
The analogy regarding going to Greece and not having Souvlaki and equating it to New York to not having pizza was funny because you are in the country where original pizza, from pita, was invented. Hope you had fun exploring!
Μπράβο παιδιά 👍
Thank You for Visiting Us. Much love
I always like to go visits Athens
Peace be upon you, I hope that there will be a translation into Arabic for your talk and thank you
You should try Bougatsa, Gyros, Mousaka, Pastichio, Perneli and Tiropita. Best thing ever.
There is no Turkish cafe, Turkey only drink tea and Greek cafe was founded in Constantinople modern day Istanbul, by Greeks the Turk's think it's there's because of Istanbul but that is not the case, it's to bad you foreigners recognize it Turkish cafe when it's not, The Turk's think they made a lot of foods but the Ottoman empire had many culture's and people it was not all Turkish.
@@demetrib2956 those are Turkish fairy tails my friend like the blue homeland, lower class that merderd u, and talking about lower class turkey is rock bottom compered to Greece.
@Demetri B I'm not the that knowledgeable on Ottoman bureaucracy, but I thought it was pretty common for Greeks to occupy high class roles like being a banker. Of course, there were low class Greeks too, but that's true for any nationality in an empire
Το αγαπημένο μου εστιατόριο στην Αθήνα είναι το ‘Όπως Παλιά’. Ανυπέρβλητο. Μ’αρέσουν πολύ και τα πιτόγυρα και τα πιτοσουβλάκια. Πάντοτε αποφεύγω τα τουριστικά μαγαζιά, και τώρα στα γνήσια!
Nice 😍
No one have mentioned meze.
Ver nice
Happy travels . Kali orexi
❤❤❤
No one drinks beer for breakfast in Greece only coffee.
Hi, thank you for saying the prices, I am a pensioner / Estonia / pension 550 € per month, but I want to go to Athens / / I am going in July 2022. Good luck to you !!!🍎🍑🍑🍒
the central meat market is called varvakeios
Outside in Greece, it's always sooooo loud, you can't understand your own words! 😆😂
Love from Greece
U should come to thessaloniki 😊😊
she reminds me of breakfast at tiffanys
Hi!! After you drank your Greek coffee, eating also "lukumi", the little meal you took after in the meat market, of course it has nothing to do with breakfast..It's just a little dish with meat balls drinking a beer. Nice video though!! Keep up the good work!!
Can't wait to visit Athens and try some of that Vergina..
hi Γεια σας
Polly you're extremely beautiful and soft-spoken! huge fan of you both since you visited Pakistan!!!!
Luke is very nice too.
Your wife reminds me of the lovely Audrey Hepburn
Any supermarket shortages?
😂 he was waiting for this moment @ 18:47
That powdered confectionery is actually made of real body soap that is not edible and banned in many countries, you can get very sick from it. It's made of sugar, melted glycerin soap, baby oil, rose water, melted gelatinized chicken feet, corn starch, and believe it or not baby powder. LOL, lol, lol just kiddin, those are Loukoumia, one of my favorite treats, Ilike the ones with nuts in them.
The pink taramosalata is not the authentic one. It has couloring in it. The authentic one is white.
Nop the eggs (rouge) is red and you add lemon oil and white bread and you squirrel it til death :-)
@@thescentman3678 White tarama is considered superior in quality as it is made entirely from cod or other fish eggs (with added salt and sugar).Pink or red tarama is considered inferior in terms of quality, as it contains a much smaller amount of fish eggs (less than 20%), starch and pigments .It is much cheaper than white
@@kyria_Vaia I referred to colouring:-) Usually, in the rare cases when I make Tarama, I Don t buy it finished... I Don t know about quality of the eggs of different fishes...A price is not only corellated to quality but also to the preference of the buyers, so the price is not always a proof for quality... Anyway, I Don t know about the quality so it is possible that you are right ;-)
@@thescentman3678 I explained that the red tarama contains pigments apart from the other ingredients, that's why it has a red color, it certainly is artificial , the eggs aren't red
@@kyria_Vaia I explained, that there is red rouge, and that if you Don t buy a totally finished product that in this case nature just made them red, anyway, we talking about Tarama and not caviar... So what wondered me is that the traditional version is white and not red (or pink) And on Wikipedia (I know not the most scientific source) it says explicitly "or" and mentioned both arguments as correct about the source of the color:-)
السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته
I am puzzled by the fact that you had the chance to taste taramosalata which is rarely served to small restaraunts or tavernas here in Greece in everyday menus. It’s mostly served in every house on a particular day every year called Clean Monday which signals the beginning of the 40 day period before Eastern. That day everybody eats mostly seafood like oysters octopus kalamari and also halva but definitely not dairy food or meat because of the diet that this period demands. You were so lucky and also the octopus was a nice touch.
Are you Greek? All the stuff you said is true, except that you'll find taramosalata almost anywhere and all year around. Yes that particular day (Clean Monday) all the people will eat it but we eat it all year around.
I understand that if it's not lent many people would prefer to order some cheese dip (tyrokauteri) or eggplant salad or any other kind of dip that's why you may haven't notice taramosalata but it's always there if you want it. And it certainly goes with fish meze and ouzo, so people who drink ouzo will order it more often.
@@Itwasalwaysme_Noone actually yes. But taramosalata is more on the menu of special tavernas named tsipouradika not in ordinary tavernas. Tsipouradika are mainly serving seafood and thus this salad exists as an option. The particular taverns didn’t striked out to me as a tsipouradiko that’s why I was surprised.
😅"tastes like soap" it's Lukum and you're tasting the rosewater.😅
the girl looks like monica belluci and carla brunni mashup , the guy looks good too but the girl ...
More Audrey Hebrun
🚧 ... άλογα, παράλογα, τοũ κόσμου όλα τά δάκτυλα ... 🚧
Dipping a loukoumi in the cofee is a crimimal act 😂
Greek Gyros is Best !
If you watch a movie and you see this guy who starts trouble and you shouldn't trust this reminds me of Luke sorry was my first impressions 😂🎉
Luke reminds me of
Sean Penn 🤢
I believe this is the reason why I got the negative vibe 😢
Raki and ouzo 2 different drinks there is no crystal clear ouzo your video was okay if I was a tourist I wouldn't take your recommendation seriously and I am talking as a local
Only the klhmataria tavern is worth visiting but you didn't order nothing because you probably were o budget and just took what's cheaper
Didn't the police catch him? He did so many food-crimes the guy... He placed loukoumi into the coffe! By the way, saying "every animal you can imagine" sounds weird. We only eat pork/cow/lamb. Mostly pork, though. We love it. By the way, her big eyes are amazing. Magnetizing. The thing the guy liked most is our own version of "Swedish Balls". Every grandma does it for her grandchildren, but even in tavernas, kids mostly eat that because as you know, kids don't experiment much. They always go for the best/safest choice.
Ποσο εκαναν τα οστρακα;;;; Ρρρρρεεεειιιιι...
you dont dop it into the coffee !!
Άσε τα ξενακια να πειραματιζονται
That, was not original Greek food! Nice video, you and your friend are great but this food was not original Greek food!
I give You +++++ like 🍓🍑🍎🍒
Taste like soap
Hahah it is soap
Hello, May I share an Old Testament Verse with you from Daniel 7:14 "And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a Kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should SERVE Him; his dominion is an Everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom shall not pass away, and His Kingdom that which shall not be destroyed." Also, can I share Isaiah 53:5 " But HE was WOUNDED For our TRANSGRESSIONS, he was BRUISED for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon Him, and with His STRIPES we are HEALED."
God the Father loves you so much that He sent Holy Sinless Jesus (His Holy Son) to earth to be born of a virgin.Then, to grow up & die on a cross for our sins. He was in the tomb for 3 days, then Father God raised Holy and Sinless Jesus Christ (Y'shua) to Life! He appeared to people and went back to Heaven. We must receive Sinless Jesus sincerely to be God's child(John 1:12).After we get saved by grace through faith in Christ, if we truly love the Lord Jesus Christ, then we will obey Jesus(John 14:15). Mark 1:15 "And saying, the time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: Repent ye, and believe the gospel." Jesus said in John 14:15 "If you love Me, keep My commandments. "There's a real hell. It says in Revelation 21:8 "But for the cowardly, & unbelieving, and abominable, & murderers, & immoral persons sorcerers & idolaters & all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire & brimstone..." Please sincerely receive Holy Jesus and put your true faith and trust in Him today and please repent. Will you have a Real encounter with Holy Lord Jesus (Y'shua is His Hebrew Name) & stay in a Genuine relationship with Him daily please?
First
taking the mask off to talk defeats the purpose. #science
Have to clarify something the Greeks do not eat all kinds of animals stated in the video.They stay with the basic chicken ,pork ,beef lamb.In the meat market the representation was wrong.Athens is a great!!!! cultural cuisine Of Greek food.

It is not pronounced Vergina like vagina. It is Veryeena. The letter g is most likely sounds like y in words. It is the city which Alexander's the Great fater tomb was found
your not se post to dip it in the cafe, the green one taste like soap try the red one, to tell you the truth I don't know what kind of drink the old man gave you I've never seen it in my life. one other thing it's not vergina your wrong.
τι κανεις εκει ρε λεβεντη??βαζεις το λουκουμι με'στον καφε??????ρε τι θα δουμε αλλο????ενας δεν βρισκεται εκει να του πει,οτι ειναι"ιεροσυλια"???
The Living God loves you so much that He sent His Holy Son Jesus from heaven to earth, to be born of a virgin, to grow up and die on a cross for our sins, and to be put into a tomb 3 days and rise from the dead the third day, and He (Jesus) went back up to heaven. We must receive Sinless Jesus sincerely to be God's child(John 1:12).After we get saved by grace through faith in Christ, if we truly love the Lord Jesus Christ, then we will obey Jesus(John 14:15). Mark 1:15 "And saying, the time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: Repent ye, and believe the gospel." Jesus said in John 14:15 "If you love Me, keep My commandments. "There's a real hell. It says in Revelation 21:8 "But for the cowardly, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and immoral persons and sorcerers & idolaters & all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone..." Please sincerely receive Holy Jesus and put your true faith and trust in Him today and please repent.
How do you know what soap tastes like? Have you ever eaten any?
