18:30 A few corrections, folks: This is the Athens Concert Hall (Megaro Mousikis - Μέγαρο Μουσικής Αθηνων); the equivalent of Carnegie Hall in NYC. Nb: This is not an opera house, but rather a complex of concert and recital halls. Additionally, there is indeed an opera ‘house’ in Athens, "Ethniki Lyriki Skini" (Greek Opera, Theatre & Ballet Company), and it has its own complex, the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Centre in Kallithea (an Athenian suburb).

[@aleoussis6724]

Correct! And I want to take this opportunity to point out that it's a shame the National Art Gallery (an old establishment only recently enlarged and totally redesigned and renovated) which sits just next to Hilton and the camera even got it, was not mentioned by Evan! :) Maybe next time! :)

[@stellmitchell2593]

Thank you so much! My father was born in Greece! 2:23

[@terryday9637]

Thank you so much for asking about accessibility. You are so good at interview and meeting people. Your filming is top notch. I do enjoy your walks outside NYC. The best travel channel ever. The scary gondola ride was epic!

[@christinecollins6648]

Love the Architectural History❤️ Evan. Yes, stoaked for the tours ( both but south first!)

[@UrbanistExploringCities]

Yay!! So glad you’re stoked for the Urbanist x Explorabilia tours!!

[@goldengirl54]

Loved watching this. You both have so much information to share; so much knowledge. Thanks so much. 👍🏻

Μετά από 53 χρόνια Παναθηναϊκός, έφτασε η ώρα να μάθω γιατί το γήπεδο μπάσκετ έχει το προσωνύμιο 'ο τάφος του Ινδού'! Just wow!

[@AmbientWalking]

Absolutely 100% awesome journey! Enjoyed it immensely! Thanks!

[@shahidazad70]

Love you 🇬🇷 one day i will visit great country ❤🌺🌹🫡🫡🫡🫡love from pak kashmir

[@inwoodliver]

This was fun and interesting. Thank you Evan and Ariel ...Janice in NYC

[@user-xp2po5tt6i]

Well, Evan is really good! Having lived in Greece for years myself and having studied modern Greek history, I can assure you that he is really good and I have heard monstrous... inaccuracies from so-called tour guides. He is also a wonderful storyteller.

Πολύ ωραία ξενάγηση , αλλά για όσους δυσκολεύονται με την αγγλική γλώσσα , θά ηταν πολύ καλό , νά υπήρχαν υποτιτλοι !

[@LAbee333]

You are positively giddy collabing with your friend 👍 I guessed 1000 years old for the Olive tree 🫒🌳🫒

[@UrbanistExploringCities]

I’m excited for him to take Urbanists on real life adventures on the upcoming tours!

Walter Gropius was Chair of the Department of Architecture at Harvard's Graduate School of Design from 1937 - 1952. My alma mater.

[@jjgreek1]

Athens Hilton was opened around 1963

[@ommanipadmehung3014]

Checkout the Malaka parking in the first 30 seconds 😂

[@christinecollins6648]

Looks like NYC outer boroughs

[@lemilemi5385]

30 years ago I used to subscribe to a Greek architectural periodical called Tefkos (i think?) it identified the modern vernacular in Greece. Is it still available? love from Australia

[@manolisdaskalakis8206]

1:16:24 You do NOT cheer(Yamas) with coffee in Greece,because we also drink coffee in funerals..

[@pavloskritikos8256]

Don't listen to him, it's not as bad as it makes it sound like. If you are not involved with football gangs and you are not provoking there is no danger

[@pavloskritikos8256]

Well Evan doesn't act like Greek if you say yia mas with coffee and water then you will say yia mas all day long. Definitely you don't say yia mas with coffee just the same way as you don't say cheers and touching glasses with tea or coffee in England

[@Bro-Brah]

Have to ask. Why in all you thumbnail is your mout open really wide

[@am1903]

there is a brand new opera house designed by Renzo Piano down by the sea... your guide knows NOTHING about the city????

[@TMPOUZI]

΅This guy is a bit behind concerning footbal. The last 5-10 years there is a ban of fans going to opponent stadiums and exhausting fines for the teams, so this hooliganism inside the stadiums rarely happens nowadays. You can go to modern stadiums of AEK or Olympiakos or OAKA and experience intense game, some pyro show, but overal feel safe
