What do you think of this new series ? In the Beyond the Village episodes we will explore different parts of Greece, its rich wildlife and delve deeply into the authentic Greek traditions and lifestyle 😊 💡Fun fact : Dhokos and Poros are among the rare islands in Greece that are assigned a masculine name.

[@sotiriospeithis6659]

I think it is a very good idea. There are so many places worth uncovering.

[@helmertrujillotorres3662]

I think that is great 👍 ❤❤

[@paulroberts5695]

Fantastic 😊

[@SomewhatRetired]

I like the new series to get the opportunity to learn more of Greece! Last year we visited Athens, Meteora, Crete, Corfu, Paros, Antiparos, Syros, Folegandros, Milos & Kimilos. Will return this September & hope to visit the Peloponnese! Thank you for educating us on Greece and it’s beautiful islands, waters and people!

[@indirajane]

It's a wonderful idea; I really enjoyed this episode! Efharisto 😊

Hats off to Dhokos and Poros, very calm and serene, beautiful angles and shots taken by you adds to the beauty of island. Love it keep sharing ❤

@@AriadnesVillageLife Just a minuscule token of appreciation. Your videos, as well, do not go unnoticed. For the energy you put forward, the ether will respond in kind; as it may already have: the wonderful settings, family, food, experiences,etc. The moments are precious in and of themselves. And besides, not all measures of success can be gauged through monetary gains, although they may... lol Thanks again for creating the content. 🙂 🙏 🎥 🎬

I think I know the "people who used to come and gather olives in exchange of some oil". It was a ItalianSwiss couple with their small kids living on a sailing ship without any motor. Gianni used to dive in Hydra harbour to free the hooked anchors.

[@AriadnesVillageLife]

That's amazing!! Do you know what has become of those people? Do they still live in a boat around the island?

[@koutsaftfam]

@@AriadnesVillageLife When their kids grew up, they went back to a "continental life" - in Switzerland by the way - to assure them good conditions of education.

I love that you have the French Greek and English languages imbedded in your soul … any other languages we don’t know about ? 😊 Thank you for the video !

[@AriadnesVillageLife]

Thank you for watching! Haha no, these are all the languages I'm afraid. I did study 5 years of Spanish, but I have it all confused with the little Italian I know, so now I speak neither 😂

Thank you for your feedback, I welcome any criticism as it is a chance for me to do better. Could you let me know which part of the audio you are referring to particularly? 😊

[@ola2638-t7t]

@@AriadnesVillageLife I think the most at the beginning, the voiceover is quite squealing/cracked. There are also moments when you are on the boat when the background sounds it's a bit too loud in comparison to your voiceover and sometimes it's hard to understand what you saying :) But regardless of the the sound I really like your videos and how you show us Greece :D
