I Flew To Athens For The Greek Orthodox Easter 🇬🇷

◼︎I returned to Athens, my favorite city in Greece, to experience the magical Midnight Ceremony of Greek Orthodox Easter, where everyone lights a candle symbolizing Jesus' eternal flame, culminating in a spectacular fireworks display. Before joining the festivities, I did what I always do when I return to Athens: I sought out some delicious, juicy gyros.

I'm a Black British Royal Navy veteran, married to a Greek woman I met when I was based in Cyprus. I visited Athens a few times with her & it was always a great city, although its unfortunate how the Greek economy has made life difficult for young Greeks. Glad you enjoyed the place ❤🇬🇷🇬🇧

You are filming in the locale of "Fokionos Negri" mall and "Kipselis Square"😂, you asked Albanians and not local Greeks for directions to the nearest gyros fast food restaurant in Kipseli Square (they are the ones sitting in front of the closed off area where construction of a new station for the undeground railway system is underway), and you did attend the Mass for the Resurrection of Crist at the square in front of the St George church! I grew up in that neighborhood. 🤩 Ask me for directions next time. 🤩

Greece has changed much, the attitude of Greek people towards foreigners have also changed since Xrisi Avgi disappeared.Growing up in Greece as a black person around 2000s things started changing, I left there in 2008 and I went back in 2022 and when in Thessaloniki most people welcomed us I have since returned there 3 times from 2022 to now and enjoyed it Kirkira was my best place to visit
