[@seaglass7375]

Aw so sad you didn't stay in Thessaloniki any longer, it's my favourite city!

[@phillyandkeely]

We loved it!! It's on our list to come back to. We hope to spend a lot more time in Greece next time, any recommendations send them through 🥰🥰

[@dimitrabir.4177]

Greek person here! I just found your channel and I am loving it! I am born raised and currently living in Peloponnese so when you come to Greece I would be happy to recommend some fun places to visit and things to do. Ps. That abandoned building in the abandoned thermals wasn't a school nor a church. I was a restaurant 😂

[@phillyandkeely]

Oh wow thanks for sharing that with us, must have been a very big restaurant. It's such a beautiful area we were so surprised to see it all abandoned. Thankyou so much for watching, so glad you found our channel. We will definitely ask you for some fun places when we get back there hopefully later this year 🤞🤞

[@Aaron-P]

Love how you two keep in adventure mode even on driving days! Gotta get out and stretch the legs to break up hours in a seat. Since you asked, my go-to road trip snacks are peanut M&Ms, Doritos, and Mountain Dew. Don't drink soda very often, but hours on the motorway require The Dew! Emotionally preparing for the next chapter... 💔💔 ❤️❤️😎👍

[@phillyandkeely]

Oh baby, used to love peanut M&Ms 🤤🤤 thanks so much for watching Aaron 🥰

[@HOPEbus]

Keeping to my promise…. Back to watch a few more videos today . U both r super cute together n very entertaining . “Positive energy positive energy “ 💫💗🥳 U should have just posted the slow mo video lol U guys r brave for going into that abandon place 😳 Thanks for sharing ur journey

[@phillyandkeely]

Thankyou 🥰🥰🥰

[@sallybiddick]

Wow! Im all caught up to date...and now on the edge of my seat to find out what made Keely cry!!- Mumma mode is on here!! As always beautiful video, your films are so natural just a joy to watch. x

[@phillyandkeely]

Awww that's so lovely to hear, thankyou so much 🥰🥰🥰 so so glad you e been enjoying our videos, all your comments really mean a lot to us 💕

[@S24suagain]

Hi folks. Great video. How's it going ? Sandwich looked great.

[@phillyandkeely]

That sandwich was incredible!!! We are doing well, have finally just bought a new camera after the robbery, so so excited to get filming again 🎉🥰

[@veronicasmith1147]

You are really having g great fun panicking at Borders 🥰🤑🤑🤑💚💚💚💚💚

[@phillyandkeely]

Haha yeah we do

[@vanbourne_adventurers]

Hey guys those hot pools look equal parts amazing and scary AF, who could resist getting in though? I think theres is a whole wider conversation to be had about peoples Pringles habits, I am positive they must coat them with crack or something cos I literally cannot stop once I pop…🤪

[@phillyandkeely]

🤣🤣 neither can we!! So good. Yeah the hot pools were awesome ❤️

[@erselcakir]

Kavala is one of my favourite city in Greece. Peaceful and quiet. Also a special cookie is made in Kavala. Thessaloniki has a special place in our hearts. Father of Turkey - Ataturk was born in Thessaloniki. On the way to igoumenitsa, the town Parga is amazing. Paxos islands like a heaven. The beach Bella Vraka is my favourite, in the future please visit them. Safe travels.🧿

[@phillyandkeely]

Thankyou so much for the future recommendations 🥰🥰 we didn't know that about Thessaloniki, love when people educate us ❤️❤️ we really appreciate all your comments on our videos

[@Ptolemy336VV]

Recommendations in Greece? Countless. There are vloggers that stayed in Greece 4 months while they initially intended 1-2 months, and even they without the ides of how many things there are, said they would need another full year of traveling in Greece to get an ideas. Bur ehm. Yes as someone who loves Greece with years of done research of the country some rapidfire regions you should 1000% check is: Halkidiki, Athos holy mountain, Macedonia province, with mount Olympus, lake kerkini, aggitis cave, alistrati cave, Rhodope mountains, Prespes lakes, Pindus mountains, Aspropotamos, Baros pass, Epirus, Acherontas river, Acheloos river, Aoos lake and Aoos gorge, Vikos gorge, Dragon lake on Mount Tymfi, Verliga on mount Lakmos, Meteora, Tzoumerka mountains, twin waterfalls on Tzoumerka, Rema marks cascade waterfall on Tzoumerka, Syrrako, Zachorochoria, Alonaki beach in the area of Parga, Lefkada, Koronisia, Strofilia forest, Achaia, Evrytania, Karpenisi and Proussos, Pelion, Evia, Lichadonisia, Mount parnassos, Mount Giona, Mount Vardousia, Mount Chelidona, lake Kremasta, acheloos valley and follow the river, Nafplio and also the unknown dolin craters nearby, Methana and the Methana Volcano there, Lake Doxa, Mount Taygetus, Monemvasia, Vergina archaeological site, Gythion, Mani peninsula, Diros caves, Voidokilia, Foloi forest and Nemouta waterfall there, and so so much more. But these are an absolute must at the absolute bare minimum. And these are only some wonderful regions and areas on just the mainland. Spend 5 minutes separately researching every of these places/regions on google and youtube and you will see what kind of favor I have done to giving this knowledge about this country that you will hardly ever come to know from even reading 100 random websites. And with it I completely disregarded countless of natural gems, special historical and cultural sites inbetween all these areas or inside these areas but with skme research in these topics you will find them out. You will utterly love it I am sure

[@phillyandkeely]

Wow this is all wonderful!! Thankyou so so much for all these awesome recommendations, I can see you really love Greece 🥰🥰 so we really appreciate you taking the time to share all these spots with us! We found in Serbia alot of our best recommendations were from people who experienced life there much more than all the blogs, they all tend to give the same spots over and over again, where as locals give the best advice 🥰 so thankyou so much for doing this for us with Greece. You have us excited for when we come back to explore it more ❤️❤️❤️

[@Ptolemy336VV]

@@phillyandkeely with all pleasure. By the time you spend 5 minutes on every single kf these names investigating them, your excitement will be even much much bigger. Greece is truly blessed with stupendously wonderful nature. It is a country with 80% mountains of which 20% of all of Europes ultra peak mountains being in Greece. And these mountains are because of Greece being on 4 tectonic earthplates: European, African, Asian and one that got crushed in between them, giving the country these 80% mountains, incredibly diverse landscapes, geological paradises, immensely diverse nature due to Greeces immensely diverse topography and geography. And this immense diverse is because of the isolation that is created due to the 80% mountains and the 6000 islands around the heavily indented mainland. And this diversity is not only in nature, but also history, culture, traditions and culinary with many local cuisines all around the country. Crete alone is called the small continent with 5 mountain ranges, snowcapped till june, rising 2500 meters straight out of the sea. 400 gorges 1000 km coastline, the incredibly advanced minoan civilization 5630-3200 years ago, 9000 years of civilization and one of the oldest continuous cities of Knossos from 7000BCE onwards. With alpine mountains all the way to the only natural palmforests in Europe and everything inbetween. And that is just Crete, let alone the rest of the country. This country, when you truly access its real 100% face in all its diversity, its truly a paradise. And these mountains and geology that I am talking about also always meet the sea of a whopping 16.000 km of coastline. By far the longest in all of the Mediterranean. And the combination of these most crystal clear waters of all the hues possible and the mountains meeting it makes up for breathtaking views around every corner. And every region, place, island, its own world of beauty and diversity. For more geology purposes one can also make trips to Milos island with *every* possible stone color you can find. A geologist paradise. Also Santorini, nissyros, Gyali. They are all part of the volcanic arch of Greece as Greece has 12 volcano's as well. Anyway. Greece is a caleidoscope of diversity. No mountain the same. No beach the same and no view the same due to its incredibly complex topographical, geographical, geological character. Its no surprise it has always been a standard source of inspiration to thinkers, philosophers, and so on throughout the millennia

[@Ptolemy336VV]

@@phillyandkeely if you ever think of making a trip to Greece and you somehow like to have even more info, you can always try to contact me if you remember me by that point. The only advise I can give is that Greece needs 3-4 months at the very minimum to be able to get a glimpse of these diversities and sheer beauty that I am talking about. And a period of februari/march - june is a perfect time

[@phillyandkeely]

Wow wow wow 😍😍😍😍😍😍 honestly it sounds so wonderful. Going to be wonderful to get back over there!!

[@phillyandkeely]

I will remember you. Thankyou so so much.

[@marksmith566]

Superb video guys, loving your content 🙌

[@phillyandkeely]

Thanks so much Mark 🥰 we really appreciate that

[@moneyprofessional]

Oh wow those hot springs were amazing. Fancy getting that and a bit of Urbex at the same time! I did a big road trip around Greece last December - there's loads to see - you'll have to spend longer next visir! How come you had to get to Spain from Turkey so quickly?

[@phillyandkeely]

Yeah we defo need to spend more time in Greece next time! We had already made plans to meet my sister in Spain, but were having so much fun in Turkey and we knew we may not be back we decided to spend as much time there as possible ❤️❤️

[@kathigee]

I love that you fill your lives with Love Happiness and Joy...💕! that was a crazy spooky abandoned town.. I could almost feel the eerie. Good times! praying all turned out well across Greece.

[@phillyandkeely]

Thanks Kathi 🥰🥰 only wish we had more time in Greece!! Its meant to be so beautiful. We will definitely be back to explore more

[@kitsworld]

After my gushy reply to your comments on my video, I can only apologise for further gushiness here, but wow, you guys make such amazing vlogs. Hubby and I are such fans of your kindness, warmth, and humour. You really are so naturally and unaffectedly funny. We love you! That was a great border crossing, and those hot springs - wow! It looked like some sort of nightmarish dystopian East German ruin from the 1980's, and you went for a swim in an open sewer! I was waiting for the zombies to arrive! And yet, also, one of the most unusual and fascinating hot spring vlogs I've seen. Excellent work. And Keely, I totally agree about sandwiches. I'm a sandwich addict too. And those looked yummy. I almost burst into tears I wanted one so much! Anyway, thank you for your lovely comments - I went out in the van last night and did some filming for the first time in over a month thanks to you! Love to both of you from both of us. ❤❤❤❤xxx

[@phillyandkeely]

🥰🥰🥰 honestly thankyou so so much for all your kind words ❤️ we really appreciate them, and I'm so so glad to hear you got back out to film 💕💕

[@geoffcampbell7846]

Great vlog guys, the abandoned village was weird, especially finding someone in a bath at the end of that corridor and you seemed to think that's a normal event. 😄. So looking forward to the next episode. Take care. 👋

[@phillyandkeely]

Thanks so much for watching Geoff, glad you enjoyed the weirdness!

[@escapebylens]

Another great video guys ❤️ Pringle tube bit was so funny!

[@moniquedupreez_]

Found your channel recently as I plan to hopefully* travel across Turkey later this year. It'll be my first trip ever (I'm from South Africa)! Your energy is authentic & your videos are such a pleasure to watch. Also, I think Irish accents are the best haha!

[@phillyandkeely]

Those are such lovely words 🥰🥰 so kind, thankyou so much ❤️ how long are you planning to spend in Turkey? It's honestly so so awesome. Any questions just throw them our way, happy to help if we can ❤️

[@moniquedupreez_]

@@phillyandkeely My passport would only be allowed a 30-day visa, but I'm hoping to apply for a 3-6 month residency. Really want to take my time exploring the hidden gems and start learning to make videos as well! Will definitely reach out if I need. Thank you! ❤

[@phillyandkeely]

Awesome, hopefully you get it approved!! Would be amazing to spend as much time as possible there. But even thirty days would be thirty awesome days!!

Lucky we are so ahead with vlogs lmao we haven't filmed hardly anything since the robbery. Think the first thing we might film will be a Van tour 🎉🎉

[@RollingRoutes]

Oooh did you happen to make it to Meteora in Greece, that is a stunning place! Just found you guys, loving the vids and look forward to more :)

Hi 🥰🥰 hope you are well ❤️

You said you wanted a coffee and then went to Starbucks? They were kicked out of Australia as their coffee was so bad.

[@phillyandkeely]

😂😂😂😂 yeah we were in Australia for a year and the only people who went to the only Starbucks in the city were international students 😂 man we miss the coffee in the lanes of Melbourne. It was heaven 💓💓 not used to the way they make coffee in Turkey and Serbia etc. They leave the granules in it, so Starbucks was better than that 😂😂 but it tastes like ash doesn't it!! When you compare it to good stuff 🤤

[@pauljackson1419]

Another great vlog guys - thank you. May I ask please the make of your (insulated?) mugs? They look great....and large enough for a big brew! Thanks, Paul

Amazing the amount of trauma you have crossing a border, you never know if you will end up with jobsworths who take sadistic pleasure in demeaning you. This is from my experience dealing with British customs years ago. A delayed flight from Cork, diverted to Bristol, left on tarmac for an hour, told we had to go through customs so we did, a chap protested and to quote the Customs bloke, "if you are going to be difficult, we will go through your luggage with a fine tooth comb". The incipient rebellion was crushed because it was clear he would do this to him and the rest of us. Jumped up little creep. Result 2 more hours in Bristol now off to Heathrow. Don't be silly we diverted to the Channel Islands to drop off some holiday makers and collect those returning. End result a 1 hour flight from Cork to Heathrow took 10 hours with a 6 month old baby whose nappy was destroyed because we didn't pack spares in our hand luggage. Dan Air is gone but not forgotten but good riddance to them.

[@phillyandkeely]

Wow that sounds like a horrific experience! The poor baby 💔 and yeah you get some douchebags at borders! Well in any position of power really, alot of people in service jobs are doing it for the right reasons but you get some who are just high on power

Can you not get Irish passports for more freedom ???

[@phillyandkeely]

We can get them, we applied at the start of covid, but their offices closed over lockdown and then our applications expired. So we have applied again, but they are taking a long time to come so probably won't arrive until after we have left again 💔 but Ireland is also not in Schengen Zone, so rules still apply for that stuff we think.
