Hey John! Santorini won't be ready for quite a few weeks yet so I'm not sure if you'll catch it before you go. We've still got to edit Istanbul, the trio of local islands to Santorini (Naxos, Paros and Ios) and then Santorini itself. Basically, it's the 3rd vlog waiting to go on the bench for editing. We've been to Mykonos before but haven't filmed there. It's as expensive (if not slightly more) as Santorini though. Athens is a place we want to get out of as soon as we arrive, Piraeus where the port is located is a sketchy area so be careful down there. We were recommended not to go out after dark when we stayed in Piraeus itself a number of years ago. Fingers crossed you'll catch Santorini but if we can help with anything in the meantime then drop us a message on our Facebook or Instagram and we'll do our best to help you out.

Could recommend to anyone who likes a good mixed Grill..or normally likes Kebabs .. well done on providing a great review 👍

Good evening guys, WOW, Rhodes town looks fab, Rhodes is still on the list…….have you been to Pefkos? We have booked Parga in October (mainland Greece, west coast) it looks stunning, a little fishing town! The Greek food is the best and that food looked amazing 🤩 Had that sponge before, it’s soooo good 👍🏽 You go girl on those cocktails 🍹 …. Great vlog xxx
@ParksTravelGuide2 жыл бұрын
Ey up Kezza! Not stayed in Pefkos but a friend of mine did last year and she enjoyed it. It's a pretty chilled and quiet resort but also possible to walk to Rhodes town along the coast apparently. Greece holds a special place in our hearts and we're really jealous you're going and we're not. We're going to a wedding in Italy in September and then it's preparing for 'Destination Unknown'. Greek measures with no food meant those cocktails hit Becky hard. She was a bit better after we'd eaten though xx

Hey Matt. There are several change places dotted around and we've never heard of any issues. We use the one on the main roundabout by the bazaar which is next to a tourist shop. You can't miss it when you are down there. Obviously work out beforehand what you should be getting by looking at the rate so you can't be swindled. We used our Revolut card over there for purchases and also to withdraw cash free from ATM's (although some did charge but Halk Bank was free). We're glad you've gained a lot of information and we hope you have a great time!

This was a lovely video! My partner and I are visiting Rhodes town/Faliraki for a week in October (not high season, but according to my research most places should still be open except clubs, which I am too old for anyway). Are there any restaurants (we are big meat lovers, my partner loves hamburgers fyi) or places that you know of, which we MUST visit during our stay? :)
@ParksTravelGuide2 жыл бұрын
Hey Emilia. It's been many years since I was in Faliraki (2002 if I remember correctly) so I can't speak much for the resort, although its less rowdy than it was during it's prime as a raucous 18-30's area. October is the last month of the season and you'll probably find a few places closed after the majority of the tourists leave at the end of September. As for restaurants we only ever eat at Hermes when we are in Rhodes town, purely for the price and also the quality. If you have a look at TripAdvisor you'll probably find some good recommendations, but as always take take them with a pinch of salt because some people give a 5* rating if a waiter makes a fuss of them. Hope you have a great time and thank you for watching!

You know, locals still go out for coffee, dinner or lunch they go nightclubbing and have fun in general while most of the tourists are gone! So don't worry about anything! Just enjoy your staying there. And a tip from a greek: Feel free to use your hands when eating grilled meat (souvlaki, chops,stakes, fries etc). It is tastier that way and wont'get any strange look from arround because that means you 're enjoying your food! And that makes people happy to see! Ya sou!

I would not recommend the place in Agisandrou Street, six years ago we ordered a Ceasar Salad, but it was not even close to a Ceasar salad, i think they mixed up the order, but when we addresed that it waasnt a ceasar salad, they said, that how they make it, and when we said, that it wasnt a ceasar salad, they got quite unpleasent, and started talking about us, to the rest of the staff, and we kept getting these looks, like we werent welcome anymore, so we have avoided this place ever since...

Some places can be a bit hit and miss as to quality as they are mainly catering to the disposable day tourists. We only eat in certain locations and usually have a drink first to see what food is coming out of the kitchen. We don't blame you for taking your money elsewhere if the staff did that.
