Autumn in a typical Greek village | Village Life ep.1

Hello lovelies,
I spent the last month and a half in the mountains, diving deep into my writing and filmmaking. I have a few projects lined up and I look forward to being able to share them with you.
During our time in the village, we had to harvest our olives and take care of many small jobs in the up-keeping of our rustic house. I hope you enjoy this video, and I'll see you all soon again :)

Hello everyone !! Thank you all for the amazing support for this video. I cannot describe to you how happy it makes me to create this content for you. I am looking forward to getting this channel monetised so that I can keep working on videos like this and dedicate all my time to this !! As you might have noticed, there are a few jumpcuts in this video where I have edited out the name of the village as I would rather it remains unnamed. I hope you can still enjoy this however 😊 See you soon with a new episode !! Wishing you all a lovely day, week, month, year !!!

[@pablokoz7497]

Hi Ariadne ! It’s been my dream to buy a little stone house with olive grove 😊, so I’m loving your videos ! Just was wondering if maybe you should change your channel name to “Greek Village Olive Oil “ lol or something so that it will pop up for people looking . It was hard to find you channel

[@sotiriospeithis6659]

This video should be shown to every person who thinks Greece is all about islands and the sea. Well done !

[@AriadnesVillageLife]

Haha it's true that most people come for the sea, and there's also this misconception that it's always sunny and warm in Greece 😂

[@asimskentzos9231]

What is wrong with Islands and the sea? That is what tourist spend their money and come for.

[@asimskentzos9231]

@@AriadnesVillageLife I enjoyed your vlog very meloncholy. I have spent time in Greece in December and my father 's family has a house in the mountains as well, (the mountains of nafpaktos region) the weather was nice actually it was a low of 7 degrees and up to 14 degrees celsius. It was sunny for the most part. I would like to stay and harvest the olives as well, I haven't had the opportunity to do that. I hope it isn't too late for me, i have a very busy life in North America.

[@ctipis57]

You are correct!

[@Ryan_hey]

@@asimskentzos9231 There is nothing wrong with the islands or the sea. It is just to point out that most people don't realize that Greece is very much a mountainous country; over 3/4 of the country is covered in mountains, and there are some very gorgeous places that people can visit.

[@christoschristakopoulos1478]

Dear talented Ariadne, as we speak i am 75 yrs old but when i was way younger i worked for EOT National Organization of Greek Tourism .From time to time we hired American advertising agencies to project Greece as a tourist destination . Their work does not have the feel your work has .It was more commercial than needed flashy hotels and flashy yachts but nothing that touches a soul.I suggest you approach them with one or your videos( as a demo) and try to get a contract to represent Greece the way you can ! Good luck ,and remember: Luck is on the side of those who dare .

[@AriadnesVillageLife]

Thank you so much, this is such a nice compliment! I will definitely approach some companies that would be willing to pay for a video like this one 😊

[@christoschristakopoulos1478]

[@azizenane]

Dear Aridane, Just watched your beautiful video & realised it was from 2 years ago. I love Greece so much but now watching this I was completely blown away!♥️♥️ It brought tears into my eyes! The beauty of this place, the nature, your calming voice , the dog, that lovely old rustic cottage…… and everything else made me cry! I must have an unknown reason to love Greece so much but now I’m starting to believe my soul is somehow attached to that place. Please upload more videos like this! I can’t remember ladt time I enjoyed a video this much. I’ve be in & out of depression for the past few years for different reasons but every time I travelled to an Greek Island I felt completely healed & alive again. I wish I could visit this beautiful place & know you in person & be your friend. Please reply to this message if you get it. You never know, maybe videos like this help people like me into their journey to heal😊😊. Once again thank you for making this video & sharing all these beauties 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@user-oi2el4hw9e]

Im lost for words tbh. I watch the whole 8 episodes. I am greek from athens. I just bought a place in a village outside thessaloniki. I was searching for easter videos and one of your episodes came up. The usual greek videos are full of shouting and fighting and bbqs, etc, which is what we expect to see, as we greeks are crazy. Your videos, however, made me want to suicide and yet they were so captivating i just couldn't stop watching them. Ive been in the uk for 24 years now and i cant wait to move back but for now we will be going 6 times a year, possibly what your doing now. Your videos brought back memories that have been forgotten since i moved out, like the xmas one with the little goblins etc. I assume your or doing something with writter as a lot of your videos and contents remind me reading a book but like watching it on netflix series. I enjoy them very much and i hope you will continue making more. You definitely have a gift. Your videos are very very different , story telling different. I have subscribed to your channel waiting for ep9

[@AriadnesVillageLife]

What a sweet comment ! I'm so glad you enjoyed the videos, and I'm happy that you discovered them through the Easter video I made a long time ago ( as visible from the difference in style). I just posted episode 9, so I hope you enjoy it too. Hope you are well 😊

[@user-oi2el4hw9e]

@AriadneK. I did, I commented on it. I said its like waiting for an episode on netflix to come out. You can't wait. Although ep9 was a little be more cheerful, but I see what your trying to do. I like the fact you used an old method of book reading into a new method of making a movie ish. I have a pretty good idea were the village is, as before we got a place in thesalloniki, I too was looking for a place in peloponnese but I won't reveale it as you said you want it anonymous. Only comment to you will be to make your videos at least 1 hr long rather than 20 min. I'm sure it takes a lot of doing to make them but think of your fans
