Geography Now! Greece REACTION

[@manosmarkakis9393]

Greek food is amazing, its among the healthiest in planet.Its based on fresh and organic ingredients You have to taste it in Greece .Outside of Greece is difficult to find the same tastes

[@johnwhear9600]

And Melbourne (Australia) has the highest Greek population outside of Athens. Greeks and Aussies we both love our lamb (and garlic sauce)... Opa!

[@Feli_co]

Thessaloniki

[@IERAPETRITISGEO]

Greek food is considered second best in the world after Italian food, but like Italian food the ingredients must be the best quality and preferably made in Greece

[@Zeus-ez6rf]

11:44 when you have turks with a population of almost 80 million and you have them everyday saying that they will invade then YES the army has to take measures including the age part and of course Alexander the Great was GREEK:), he spoke Greek and had the Greek culture!

[@leonidasmalekakis7366]

The only 2 things to correct is the army age, which is 18 and the name day, we do celebrate our name days but we do our birthdays like everyone else. Great video guys, thanks for the reaction

[@oiko2k4]

Also the stat about women being the 60-65% of the population is old. That was after WWII. Now the population is balanced.

[@AthanasiosK]

I am from Greece, grew up in one of the many small islands and my opinion about cruises is, stay away. If you want to explore Greece or Italy just visit the countries and travel around. It's going to be about the same cost as a cruise, and you also immerse yourself in the actual culture, with a cruise you are not just visiting with thousands of other tourists for 5 hours, that really strains small towns and really doesn't help them put their best foot forward.

[@JuanMedina-qq6kl]

Santorini is beautiful I went I 2019, however it does get a bit crowded up there for the sunsets. The food is amazing in Greece hands down some of the best I’ve ever had. The people are amazing, sweet and welcoming. Greetings from Los Angeles.

[@Jodi_BoringReviews]

Good to know! Thanks!

[@violettadivineart.v6871]

Greek food in Greece taste’s way better in Greece than anywhere in the world. Very different. Lamb in Greece compared to Australia for example is really different.

[@Feli_co]

Greek bread lamb chicken vegetables fruits FISHES are much better than Australia..I leave in Australia 2 years now and they are tasteless...Only Australian beef and stakes are good quality and have good taste,other than that nothing

[@Rousseau4469]

That's because the animals in the mountains eat alot of local herbs and at the same time on mountains near the sea the moisture forming over them contains salt which makes the meat most tasty. For example my mom was born to the Ionian island of Keffalonia and the lamps or goats on a certain area after they get slaughtered they shouldn't be salted before they are cooked. Otherwise they end up so salty that it's useless. So they are ready for consumption. In general the red meat produced on the whole island isn't much treated with lots of salt rather little or even none.

[@someguy3508]

Imo Greece (and generally the Mediterranean diet) is the best in the world. Especially if you eat in Greece. They are top notch and the fact that we live so long is a testament to it. Also gyros, souvlakia, mousakas, dolmadakia are a must to try.

[@adz_b]

Great review, love the honesty, gives the channel integrity & authenticity 👍👏🏻👏🏻👍🇬🇧😀

[@BoringReviews]

Appreciate it. Thanks for watching and for the compliments.

[@georgekoul]

Advice. Do not try Greek food outside of Greece,certainly not in the States it sucks. The ingredients are not the same not even the recipes. You want a Greek food? Visit Greece or just don't try it anywhere else.

[@SophiaKilkis]

you will never hear a Greek person call the country next to as North Macedonia.. we call it Skopia. its actually very insulting to the greeks to hear that name. about the food you need to know that lamb its not so common meat as u americans think..we eat it but the majority eats it 5-6 times a year. common meat its pork and beef.. if u want to have greek food be ready to have ALOT vegetables..many dishes are without meat.

[@georgek5737]

"Let them have it"...yeah why not giving away territory to your historical enemy? Why not give them claim to your waters?

[@Rousseau4469]

One comment on the video by Geography now. The dead are buried in public cemeteries and after a 3 year period if they are found not to have been absorbed then they are left for a couple of years more or until they do. But it's an option to buy a family grave that all the members of a family rest till the last member dies. Then again the procedure I described above is followed till they establish that even the last body has been absorbed. Those on ones that were exhumed and washed with vinegar where victims of a certain vengeance act during the WWII on the village of Kalavryta where hundrends of people were executed by the German Nazis as they discovered that this particular village was helping Greek resistance fighters on their guerilla warfare against the Nazi occupiers. It's not the only village that this happened but on this village they executed even whole families and they tried to burn also a school. Many more villages fell of victims of that brutal behaviour like Kandanos in Crete in Distomo in Central Greece near mountain Parnassus like Kommeno near Preveza city and many more. Those who martyred there was decided by their younger ones to be exhumed and their bones to be cleaned and kept on special display for the world to witness the atrocities made by Germans eternally.

Love from Athens and great reaction. The island you try to remember is Santorini. It's beautiful and you have to visit it atleast once, but the island I would recommend for a trip with more stuff to see (not that you can't visit both) is the island of Crete. The biggest island in Greece with a ton of history and its own unique culture. And just to correct you on something, the greek empire was not a thing. Before Alexander the Great and his father, Greece was made up of many independent city States (Like Athens, Sparta, Corinth etc.) Which while they shared some culture and gods were very often in disputes and wars with one another. So a better term to refer to that Era is the Greek (or as I prefer Hellenic) Civilization.

[@Jodi_BoringReviews]

Thank you!! I knew I was messing up on some things. We will have to check out Crete. I appreciate the info!

[@i_stan_wheein]

Try Alonissos Island incredible beaches affordable and lots of fish food! For quite vacations and ecological

Proud to be Greek

As Greek I like to hearing different times of thinking about us and sometimes times not knowing everything it’s pretty much okay I mean in and of the day not every child knows his parents 😂😂🇬🇷🇬🇷♥️♥️ much love no hate I just got say man 😂😂

[@11mitsaras11]

If you want to be sure whether you like Greek food or not come to Greece to taste the real thing. What passes as Greek food in USA bears little to no resemblance to the actual food Greeks eat.

[@2lazylizards961]

You don't understand let them have it? So do you think that USA should give a small territory in borders with Mexico? When something belongs to your country you just don't give it because oh we have many islands so lets give some because neighbours want it. Greece sacrifice thousands of lives for independence from ottoman empire it is not let them have it, what if next year they want more etc.

[@dragonxx444]

"Let them have it"?!?!!!?!??! So if someone wants to steal from you and you have the ability to prevent it, you would just let them take it? 🤣

[@Kwstas_Vagias]

It is more like if you "let them have it" today the what will they ask tomorrow and how many time you can "let them have it"...

Greek food is best in Greece...same as Italian. You need the ingredients. Mykonian here.

[@g.ed1tzz]

Try pork gyro, in my opinion best Greek food

[@simonebosticardo964]

you’re oldest has really good taste!

[@mariageorgiadou8595]

Greek food is actually based on several vegetable dishes, a lot of sea food and mostly pork and chicken. So not liking lamp wouldn't be an issue. Try Googling Mediterranean diet and see what's all about. Also try eat Greek food in Greece, why don't you 😉

[@leandromiguel4481]

can you do Portugal in the future?

Yes!

[@BoringReviews]

I have. It hasn’t only been lamb. If I don’t eat it in restaurants where would I eat it? I don’t know how how to cook it.

[@alx_gr1]

@@BoringReviews Honestly, Greek food is very simple. That's what we like. A few herbs and that's it. If you like complicated flavours, it is not for you. However, I tried Greek food in the States and it was horrible and with super limited options. Fresh ingredients and variety (fish, seafood, vegetables etc) are super important, so you can trully find out if you like it, only if you have it in Greece.

19:01 the "greek empire" wasn't a thing, never existed

[@BoringReviews]

The Greek Empire lasted roughly 350 years, from 776 BC to 323 BC. From the view of historians, it ended with the death of Alexander the Great.

[@iordanispavlidis7764]

Οι έλληνες,στη μακραίωνη ιστορία τους, δημιούργησαν δύο αυτοκρατορίες. Η πρώτη, δημιουργήθηκε με την εκστρατεία του Μεγάλου Αλεξάνδρου εναντίον των Περσών.Με το θάνατο του Μεγάλου Αλεξάνδρου, η αυτοκρατορία του διαιρέθηκε στα ελληνιστικά βασίλεια των επιγόνων του.Τα βασίλεια αυτά, αντιμάχονταν μεταξύ τους για την κατάκτηση της απόλυτης ηγεμονίας. Από τους συνεχείς πολέμους αποδυναμώθηκαν και παρήκμασαν, σε βαθμό που έγιναν εύκολη λεία για την ανερχόμενη ρωμαϊκή αυτοκρστορία. Η δευτερη, είναι η βυζαντινή αυτοκρατορία που αποτέλεσε την ιστορικη συνέχεια της ρωμαϊκής αυτοκρατορίας μετά την παρακμή της τελευταίας.

[@simonebosticardo964]

@@BoringReviews idk where u got that information but that's just bs, everyone with a basic history knowledge knows that a greek empire never existed. Historians refer to Ancient Greece as a civilization. That's because it was never an empire. It was never a country. (Greece did not become an independent country until modern times, in 1821, or less than 200 years ago.) Everybody here in europe knows that greeks had multiple city-state like sparta and athens that were different and for sure not under a greek empire. And Alexander the Great was the King of Macedonia not of the "greek empire" that never existed. Please dont be so american i kinda liked u

[@BoringReviews]

Fair enough. Even when I say it in the video I’m not very confident about it. Civilization it is. I got that blurb from Google so I thought it was cool that there was something on it. I never claim in these videos that I’m an expert on any country. Not even my own.

[@Peterkonto]

​@simonebosticardo964 ..Alexander the Great united Greece, restablished the Corinthian League and conquered the Persian Empire, this is stressed from all credible historical scholars across the world ..Also the ancient Macedonians who were Greek linguistically culturally and also believed in the ancient Greek gods spread the Greek language culture and customs across the then known world ...Please stop being a idiot even American historical scholars know the Ancient Macedonians were Greeks.. Ancient Greece had one language and culture but was not unified until 337 BC, when Macedonia defeated Athens and Thebes. That marked the end of the Classical period and the start of the Hellenistic period Meaning Greek.. Herald British Museum. BRITTANICA ENCYCLOPEDIA

[@jeffmarriott]

Could'nt hear most of what video was saying because of talking over so sorry unsubbing

[@BoringReviews]

That’s your choice. It’s interesting how viewers get so much power from the sub and unsub and like to announce when they will be unsubbing. We are in timeout. I wonder how many total words were spoken during the video by us. I can’t imagine too many.

[@jeffmarriott]

@@BoringReviews What is the point of watching a "review" of something when it is difficult to hear the video being reviewed and your mic volume is an order of magnitude higher so drown out various salient points in the video. I will watch the video exclusively as it did look interesting. This is a shame as I really enjoyed most of your videos.

[@BoringReviews]

@@jeffmarriott I hear you but what is the point of reacting to a long video and saying nothing. It’s a reaction. We keep the talking to a minimum. The volume of the video is still loud enough to hear. If we need to adjust it a little in the future we will. But if you liked most of our videos why unsub for one you didn’t? There is a dislike button. It seems hasty to me

[@adz_b]

I come here for you both and to hear from you 😀 I’m enjoying the Geography now series with you, if I’m honest, would prob not watch the original without your reaction 👍🇬🇧

[@qstas1312]

Hahahaha...you are very funny...The food you have tried until now is for sure only Greek in "paper"...The true Greek food is only in Greece...If you eat "greek" food in your country (i don't know where are you from)for sure is not Greek...Try again when you come to our area...Then you can say your opinion...
