Lindos is my favorite place in Rhodes by far! My wife and I have been planning on early retirement and full time travel for years and you guys have inspired us to start a KZbin channel and document our travels. Great way to store memories and share the adventure with others!

[@BrianandCarrie]

Very cool, Bill!! Why not post your memories and thoughts for others to see and hear? You never know where it will take you!! Thank you for watching and safe travel!! 😀

This was spectacular. You guys outdid yourselves and really captured the beauty and exoticism of the sights. The music was perfect. Looking forward to sharing your new and continued adventures.

[@BrianandCarrie]

Thank you!! We had a great day and would recommend it to anyone in Rhodes! 😀

[@TexasDoug393]

Nice to see so much of Rhodes that most videos don't cover (things beyond Rodos Castle/Old Town, which is very cool in its own right). Funny that you and Gabriel Traveler, who also happens to be in Greece right now, were let down by Google Maps in today's videos. I booked my flights to Greece yesterday on what is essentially a retirement scoping trip.

[@gibstr]

Gabriel Traveler 🙏🏾

[@BrianandCarrie]

Thats funny!! Gabriel Traveler has been around for a long time and does a great job!! We'd love to meet up with him!! 😀

Thank you for your videos. We followed your advice and went to Cefalu wile visitng Palermo 2 weeks ago. We took the early train and return at night after all day walking, shopping,sightseeing and eating. It was the best part of the whole trip to Sicily, we had a woderful day in Cefalu, because of your advice, thank you.

[@BrianandCarrie]

Cefalu was one of our favorite places that we visited!! We are happy that you found it as delightful as we did, Roger! Thank you so much for watching our channel and the tips about Greece!!

A really nice old town and marina. We are having a great time just walking around and people watching!! 😀

Great job guys. I really enjoyed the car travel, i think its so much better travelling by car when possible. Loved seeing the more authentic Greece. It might be my imagination, but you two look extra happy and really relaxed. Thanks for sharing, your videos are informative, relaxing and real. ❤Zeljka

Thank you so much for the kind words! We are getting more relaxed in front of the camera, but it also comes out when we are having a great experience! ❤

1:35 That sounded like a Peacock 🦚 😳. Wow sounds like you got a great car rental deal 😮👍 Good job sporting the white hat. Congrats on finding the castle. 🏰 It seems like the journey was aka "Road trip" was well worth the adventure. 21:03 Had to re-watch a few times. Thinking awwww they're being cute. 😉 Wondering why someone was waving that red thing in front of the camera 📷 🤔 🙄 Then zoomed out to original view. 23:24 I was right go figure. Very cool.

[@BrianandCarrie]

The peacocks were everywhere!! The red flower was very "artsy" of me. Something new to life surrounded by something very old. 🙂

[@SandiHooper]

I loved seeing what the weather was like, the water, the incredible views and that great little taverna. Oh and I loved the music you chose. What a great little Rhodes trip! (See what I did there!? 🤣)

[@BrianandCarrie]

That is a great "dad" joke that I missed on!! 😠 Thank you!! 😂

[@JP7onEarth]

Hey guys , great production. Brian, curious if you have ever considered a traditional Panama Hat? One of the first things I did after moving to Portugal was to find the oldest hat store in portugal and buy an amazing Panama Hat! JP Porto

[@BrianandCarrie]

I'd love a nice Panama Hat! Classy, I'd need to buy new clothes to go with it! 🤣

[@LodgingManager]

B & C, You are getting better and better, the B roll is much improved, and the flow one this one is your best yet. Yoi have inspired me to go to Kotor, Brasov, and Turkey next year. on slow travel pace. Speaking of Kotor, Airbnb you used? Thanks for teaching me so much. Oh and Brian GO COUGS! I hope the one sided rivalry continues.

[@BrianandCarrie]

Thank you so much!! We actually do work hard at this stuff. We try to get better all the time! 😂 Unfortunately, for several reasons we no longer give out Airbnb links. One reason is the host request. However, there aren't many in Kotor with that view. Many of my best friends are Cougs!!! GO DAWGS!! 😂🍻

[@dawnb6264]

I visited there last year it was fantastic yes the walk up the hill was tough for me but I loved it there would definitely go back 😁

[@denisefitzgerald7653]

Love this video!

[@BrianandCarrie]

So happy you enjoyed it, thanks so much for watching 😊

[@robertmcfarlane4151]

Certainly a place on the bucket list. It looks like a glorious day, however the tourists have already made themselves known at the touristy spots. I would have rented the manual transmission and bought two beers with the difference ;) I will continue to enjoy these glimpses into your travels in Greece.

[@BrianandCarrie]

HAHA!! Yes, we could have had 2 beers each for the price of the manual!! 😂 On to Crete Thursday and looking forward to the neighborhood that we are staying in. Hopefully, it lives up to expectations!

[@IramisandGerry]

Nice video. I can’t wait to visit one day. Have a great time.

[@BrianandCarrie]

Thank you!!

[@nb-ii2rb]

Thanks Brian & Carrie, we really watching your travels and look forward to the next video! Out of curiosity, I know you use some pro equipment, but what phones do you use for excellent photos/videos? I want to get some great snaps of my holiday this year (Greece is on the shortlist, look forward to hearing more about what you think of it).

[@BrianandCarrie]

We use the GoPro 11 for all of our outside, travel day videos and the Canon M50 for the indoor informational videos. The M50 is entry level so we are not using any high-end equipment. The Instagram and Facebook pictures are all on the Galaxy Note 20. We are minimalist so we have very little gear. Thank you for watching and safe travels!!! Cheers!!!😀🍻

[@k.johnson1256]

This is one of my new favorite videos of yours, really really lovely! Darn, I am so bummed at that long line at Lindos. There must have been a big cruise ship in or something, I've been to the Acropolis at Lindos twice in summer and I didn't see a line like that! :( Next time.

[@BrianandCarrie]

Thank you! We were bummed about Acropolis but still had a nice time in the town itself. 😀

[@mustafaozlen3282]

Stuffed grape leaf is aame here in Turkiye, we have also stuffed tomato, stuffed cabbage and stuffed dried aubergine.

[@BrianandCarrie]

We loved the food while in Türkiye as well! Türkiye has become one of our favorite countries!!

[@viewfield5]

Just 8mins in to the video, i can assure u thst the water there in Lindos aint cold! Even at end of the season it aint cold! Its lovely and warm, not like at top end of the island where its a different sea and cold water.

[@Layla51]

I loved Lindos. I have a photo, taken on the beach, looking back to the town, with my mother, aunt and sister (all now deceased) taken by me in 1994. Wonderful memories.

[@BrianandCarrie]

That is a very cool memory!! ❤

[@IFSTherapyRealResults]

so beautiful !

[@Ed-eg4wt]

I spent a month in Greece when I was 20 (1970) and a week of it on Rhodes. Slept on the beach for several nights in Lindos. The water in the bay was so clear, you could see the to the bottom of the bay (20-30ft.?). From your video it looks like Lindos has changed a lot since then. It looks very touristy. It is too bad the line to the acropolis was so long. The views are spectacular from the acropolis cliffs. FYI - the huge artillery scenes from caves in the movie The Guns of Navarone were filmed there. Enjoyed the video 👍.

[@BrianandCarrie]

Lindos was very touristy, but we still enjoyed our time there. That being said, to know what it was like 50+ years ago would be amazing! I'm sure it was a better place. Thank you for watching and commenting, Ed. Cheers!!🍻

[@telluwide5553]

Love those clay cups for that cold beer 🍺

[@BrianandCarrie]

That was the first thing we noticed as well! It was such a great experience!!

[@MyLifeInSpain888]

Hi guys, Nice video again! I noticed you are up to more than 50k subscribers, so good job! I know Greece is more expensive than Spain, so I am looking forward to your costs video about Rhodes.

[@BrianandCarrie]

Thank you!! We are excited about reaching a new milestone!! We are planning on releasing the cost breakdown video next week, but we still need to shoot it so we will see. 😂

[@jamesmuddiman8374]

You 2 bond well and although you talk a lot it kind of is ok, but a breather occasionally is Ok😂 We went to Corfu on our first holiday and have then been to Crete and Halkidiki, I love the dusty roads and coastline and the quiet back streets and tavernas. Everywhere seems so expensive now Im glad we travelked when things were relatively less expensive. Love to you both stay happy and God bless

Hi, James. Our cost of living video in Rhodes will be out this weekend! Thank you for watching. Cheers!

[@kenctravels]

Renting a car is always a great option. I’ve done it with friends in many countries and being able to set your agenda is worth any additional financial cost.

[@BrianandCarrie]

We would agree, Ken. I used to think that the added responsibility we could do without, but it was so easy we have changed our minds! Thank you for watching our channel!!! Cheers!🍻

[@erickarnell]

Good information about international driver's license. That was going to be my question.

[@BrianandCarrie]

The car renting experience was effortless! We will be doing it again when we head to Crete as well. Thank you, Eric, for all your support!! Cheers!!🍻

[@MichaelFitzgerald1]

It's almost never needed and it's not really an international driver's license -- it's an international driver's permit and is just a translation of your current license. I carry one because we live overseas in developing/off-the-beaten-track countries. In Europe you really don't need it. I get it just for developing countries where I don't want hassle if they say I need one. I've never needed it though.

[@njoynature123]

So glad you’re not the history channel haha. I’m so glad you got see ruins since you missed the Acropolis.

[@intrepedo100]

Wow. Thanks for showing us current situation. Roads with centre lines! Obviously things have changed.😅 😊My son still tells the story of me driving up a river bed. Naturally we returned the car damaged. Lindos beach used to be the nude beach. Where are your shots of the nudes? Right below the Temple of Anthena, which I think you used Acropolis, was where it is said St. Paul stopped on one of his voyages. If you are into that history. . I do hope you get to the miles of white beaches on the other side, although maybe lined now with hotels. Enjoy your stay.

[@BrianandCarrie]

Apparently it's no longer a nude beach! 😀

[@livinginmelbournefl]

Nice video! Going to Rhodes later this year. What camera are you using for your video?

[@BrianandCarrie]

We used a GoPro 11!! Have fun and safe travels!!

[@HazelHoyle-dp1vm]

If you go to Lindos once the cruise ships have gone, are the shops and restaurants still open?

[@BrianandCarrie]

Good question. It was busy when we were there.

[@gibstr]

Great video. Renting a car, walking/hiking are is a game changers if you really want to explore an area. We've seen some amazing small towns by car in Thailand, Croatia, Portugal, Spain, Greece and Italy.

[@BrianandCarrie]

We last rented a car when we were vacationing before our slow travel adventures. We were in Portugal and the small beach towns were so much fun. We will be doing more of it moving forward. Thank you for watching!! Cheers!!🍻

[@rickmccann4016]

Talk about romantic, I was with a girlfriend at Anthony Quinn beach and there wasn't a soul in sight anywhere. When we were at Lindos, nobody anywhere either on the way back driving on the other side of the island it was raining on and off and it made the water look so turquoise (probably even a better older Hellene word for turquoise) it looked almost impossible. When I was in a beach in Kas, Turkey just a week before the water was the bluest I have ever even imagined water could be. Truly in my opinion the closest area to paradise on earth and Ive been around. Just havent been to Bora Bora and Papeete yet, but soon. Huge difference going in February and may go back next year, the views can just reset your mind. By the way if you ever saw the movie "Where Eagles Dare" that is where it was filmed.

[@BrianandCarrie]

That sounds amazing! We are loving the views here and looking forward to Crete next week! We will be closer to the beach! Thank you for sharing your experiences with us! Cheers!

[@BrianandCarrie]

It's at the 12:00 minute mark. It's called Paraga Taverna and it's delicious!! 😁

[@telluwide5553]

Try renting a car at that price in the US. The insurance alone is almost as much as the rental itself. Although, many credit cards will include car insurance when you use it to pay for the car.

[@BrianandCarrie]

Very true!! We were surprised at how inexpensive it was.

Love this channel, but very rarely watch the vids anymore-it’s obviously much, MUCH easier to just turn on the camera + chitty chat for the now customary 30+ minutes than to put pen to paper + plan out a tight & informative 10-15 minute video in advance that would fit better into your viewers busy schedules. :/
