I'd love to get your feedback on this video - did you enjoy it? Useful? Any ideas to improve travel guide overviews like this? Thank you!

[@sherlyefuentes]

Mark Abroad it's a nice summary of everything you did and very good tips on those who plan to visit. Nice job always!! Hello to Ying and beautiful Micah!!

[@MarcellinusJonathan]

Yes, very enjoyable and useful!

[@Mandragara]

I'd like additional comments on, for example, how safe the neighbourhoods felt, how clean was the tap water etc.

[@cherryrami4417]

Mark Abroad ... Curious you always blog did you work.. Lol because life in Europe not easy I know Greek country not rich same others ..

[@ravinandu63]

PLEASE EAT MORE VEGAN/ VEG FOOD .... I WOULD LOVE TO SEE MORE VEGAN/VEG( WITHOUT MEAT) DISHES... I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO SAY YOUR VIDEOS ARE -----------THE BEST --------

[@aikaterinimastrogiorgi24]

You forgot to mention the Acropolis Museum,it's also a must-see.

[@MarkAbroad]

Thanks Katerina, I didn't have a chance to go, thanks for the recommendation though!

[@andreasvulcan_gr2595]

5 EUR entrance. Hosts everything found on or near the acropolis. The setup is really excellent and gives you a very good idea how the acropolis actually looked in both it's forms (before 480 b.c. and the form we know today).

[@essolunapapa]

Yes, that was my most favorite place to visit when I lived there. It is probably the best place in all of Greece to see. Also, Mount Olympus is great, and the gold market there is a great stop. If you do go to Greece, get out to see the islands they are a must, especially for the young and single crowd! You won't regret it I promise!

Valuable video Mark. This is exactly what we need to know to help us plan the trips that you entice us on. How wonderful for Athens to now welcome over 1 million Migrationology fans!

[@MarkAbroad]

Thank you very much Mary!

[@gmaniacgmaniac]

Mark has skill i saw many videos from others but Mark has the ability to find the right spot, almost every place its only local knowing place, great videos.

[@ChristopherDPetersonMN]

I take my family overseas roughly 2-3 times a year, the Mark Abroad videos have been ever so helpful...and enjoyable too. Thank you for the great information. Cheers.

[@b8you]

Mark, just booked to visit Athens at the end of Feb 2018 with my girlfriend after watching your Athens videos! Thank you very much for all the information.

[@DunhillX1]

Hi Mark, great video and your enthusiasm is catching. Here's my tip for newbies to Athens: *Lake Vouliagmeni* . It's a secluded little lake in the south suburbs of Athens and some would say Athens' best kept secret. It's def worth a visit when in Athens. It's about a 25 minute car ride from downtown Athens but you can also get there by tram from Syntagma Square (once at final tram stop grab a taxi to lake). Plus it's near the beaches along the Athenian Riviera some of which are very pleasant. Lived in Athens for 5 years and loved hitting the beaches and the lake so hope my advice is useful to your viewers. Thanks for sharing brought back wonderful memories of sunny Athens!

From the beginning to the end which I only notice is The cuteness of Miach .

We have 13 miserable people disliking this video. Mark keep up the good work. I wish you nothing but the best for you and your family.

[@JoyMadrugada]

Mark i live in Athens 8years and w8 for your video to find that places except the attractions! Well done !is awesome to discover your place from a nice and warm traveller !

[@danielintheantipodes6741]

This is terrific to have as a reference. After all, when planning a trip, one may not have the time to go through the videos, especially for countries where you have made many, like Thailand. So more of these would be a plush. I have to remember to begin taking notes when watching your films!

[@laurentj7998]

Thanks for your video and all informations about Athens. I went to Greece first time in July 85 and I plan to go back next june, 35 years later. I hope to enjoy this place like the first time ! There is on thing we are sure. ..Adventure goes on !

I visited Thailand last year and I'm gonna visit Greece in July. Thank you for the tips.

[@JTMog]

Greece is one of my dream destinations, hope that'll make there someday, loving Ur Greek videos, why don't u go to Santorini Mark, always wanted to go there

[@95evamak]

A Little tip from a local: DONT GO TO SANTORINI. None of my greek friends had a fun time there. In summer it's wayyy overcrowded and veeery, very, very expensive. Chose another island instead. Milos for instance is a very beautiful island :)

[@andreasvulcan_gr2595]

+1 from another local. If you absolutely must go to Santorini, go during autumn or spring. Try to be there as "off season" as possible and don't stay more than 2-3 days. The beaches are nothing to write home about and you can go through the important stuff in 48 hours.

[@ezon1844]

Santorini is super advertised, but as a greek I try to make a statement, that all the treasures of Greece are so far away from the sooo touristy places. I make a review of these places on my blog

[@karenbartlett1307]

@@95evamak Don't worry, I'm not staying in a caldera if they paid me to do so. :)

[@babish9419]

WHAT???? They say dont go to Santorini... Hmmm.... OF COURSE you have to go, Its amazing!!!!

[@misougami6410]

there's also the stavros niarchos cultural centre which holds many interesting events(usually with a free entrance) but offers a great view for an evening walk too.

[@tanyaa7166]

As alway's very helpful and informative. You two put up the best travel and food video's on you tube.

[@MarkAbroad]

Thank you Tanya!

[@PanosK777]

Kudos from a proud Athenian! It really shows that you had 'friends in high places' so to speak, as the restaurants you mentioned are even unknown to me. It's good you avoided the common tourist traps of downtown Athens, as it appears you now have a more realistic and genuine picture of what the city 'feels' like. Imagine that my best mate and I regularly hang out on Philoppapos Hill with a couple of beers (or ten). It's especially magical at night, but be cautious of the alarmingly increasing crime rates around that area. Excellent video, will definitely try out some of the eateries you recommended ;-)

[@lauracerdamiller218]

Jonathan it was helpful reading your comment. My best college friend and I are planning our trip for Oct 2020. (If COVID-19 restrictions are lifted) and I'd really like to experience Philoppapos Hill during the evening. We 4 females that will be traveling together. Would you say this is really too dangerous to be around there after dark for us? I'd appreciate your personal recommendation. Thanks! Laura

[@PanosK777]

@@lauracerdamiller218 If you happen to come from one of the countries that are on the 'acceptable Covid19 statistics', then you could book a trip from as early as tomorrow. For the rest of the world, Greece won't be open till July 1st. Hope you get to enjoy our beautiful country for all the special circumstances cast over this summer... :-)

Thank you. Not a sea food eater but enjoy your whole video.

[@s.k.3891]

Mark, as an Greek expat , I have to say that I am glad I ran into your videos on Greece.They were good examples of what one can do in a few days. The thing I advise people is to just relax, let things happen, and don't try to fit everything in!The Greek people are generally hospitable and friendly, and if you don't behave like a jerk, they will be more than nice to you.Having said that, at least in Athens (and all big cities), you have to be mindful of yourbelongings (wallets,cameras etc) on the Metro.I took a group of 8 people this spring to Athens/Crete, and one person got pick-pocketedon the Metro. Unfortunately, there are some unsavory elements that have infiltrated citiesin Greece, and they do what they know best!Having said that, Greece is a very safe country overall.Please don't take this the wrong way, because I realize food is your focus, but a little homework on the history of the places you visited, would have made the experience that much richer for you.I made it a point to give some background on the history and significance of the places we visited to my group before we left, through a series of emails.Sorry you missed the museum, do it next time, but brush-up on your art history first!take care!

[@alldaycruisegr]

[@DunhillX1]

Eliana Ritsoni: Great recommendations!! I used to live in Athens and I discovered most of the places you listed. I really enjoyed them and experienced a totally different side to Athens then the typical tourist places. Good idea to recommend these places. Hope more people discover them too. They will be pleasantly surprised (especially with the Athenian Riviera in the south of Athens).

[@annar1078]

@@DunhillX1 Thank you, glad you enjoyed your stay there!! Yes indeed very good point wonder why tourists are never told to go southwards to the riviera, honestly some areas around Monastiraki, especially Omonoia, are not so nice right now and you wouldn't call them tourist friendly 🤔

Mark, I think this is a great video format. Covers all bases and the information needed when travelling; plus having the added benefit of great restaurants. I was watching this thinking, 'damn I wish I had this when I was travelling to......'; I watch all your other food videos which also covers food more in depth for each destination but I think this would be a good for someone who is just looking for a quick guide to each city they plan to visit when planning their holiday.

Hi Mark. Your videos have terrific content, information and tips for travellers and foodies, this one on Athens being no exception. I especially love that you covered transportation too. I planned my trip to Saigon, last month, based on your Saigon videos and had a blast. I'll be doing the same when I go to Athens next year. It would be fantastic, if you visit Santorini, before I make my way to Greece, as I hope to include Santorini in my trip. In any case, your series on Greece was AMAZING!!!!

[@MrWalker1000]

very good selection on the food.

[@aimzee]

Hi Mark! This is exactly the kind of video I was craving to see. It helps so much with trip planning. One more thing to add is how is it getting around with the language barrier? Some places are easier to get around than others. I just got back from northern Spain and had a pretty hard time with my limited Spanish.
