I Took a Bus to Athen's Public Beach. 🇬🇷

Since the weather has been good mid April, I decided to take the public bus down to the local beach called Voula Beach. It's about a 1 hour ride to the beach from the city center, but the crowded bus makes it almost unbearable.

It's not lazy, these people live there and deal with it every day. When it's that hot like that, pushing up against each other all the time is not comfortable. Blame the bus system, it needs to be improved. One bus every half an hour isn't enough and not normal for a city that size.

[@Hunzilla]

He should feel right at home

[@sdnalyam]

Once again, Greeks blaming all their problems on everyone else. Its their fault, look at how they went in the front . Also the driver shouldnt have opened the front door and he should have closed all the doors to stop overcrowding which is illegal and dangerous. Stop being lazy and outperform all the countries in the EU.

[@JohnnyFD]

I agree that there aren't enough buses. But at the same time, zero people actually paid for the bus, economically, how can they add more?

[@metaxoskolikas]

​@sdnalyam when the bused pass every 30 minutes as the other person said its impossible for the driver to do that. Ppl use the bus to go around and if they get in that bus and not wait thats means they need to get in the bus at thats moment

[@MrDEWaters]

That water looks crystal clear.. As you know, in So. Calif (where I grew up) it's like green soup unless you go out from shore, and chilly too.

[@skipseglipse]

Scandinavia is not better, I'm depending on the public transport in Stockholm and some days you're lucky if the trains and busses even show up.

[@beorlingo]

I don't know about the commuter trains, but the subway and buses work just fine if you ask me. Sure, in rush hour the subway may be awfully crowded, but one train every 5 minutes is as good as you can ask for.

[@skipseglipse]

@@beorlingo you're lucky you don't have to take pendeltåg then.

[@beorlingo]

@@skipseglipse yeah, as I said, I don't know about pendeltåg.

Lately, Johnny, it seems like you're having trouble keeping a woman with you for more than 14 hours (I think this time, it was the mentioning of the nude beach)! 😂😂😂😂 For a second, I thought you accidently stopped in Indian until I saw the pristine beaches! 😂😂 I was wondering if those overcrowded buses have air-condition? I'm with you. I am getting a car (public transportation, thumbs down)!

[@janeslater8004]

[@michaelhoran407]

Public transportation, buses, look packed. That’s quite an eye opener about Greece.

[@martinlye2748]

Always nice to see your adventures as you travel about.

[@JohnnyFD]

Glad you like them!

[@jimmywatermelon357]

Taxis are so cheap in Athens I just do that to get around. The more south you go the better the beach. Go to Barkiza or Vouliagmeni beach areas. Nice warm water in the summer. I think they charge $5 for the organized beach. Way worth the money.

[@howdan1985]

Wow the sea looks crystal clear at the first beach you went to - absolutely stunning. Glad you're enjoying yourself there Johnny, that's what life is all about my friend.

[@lacrimal6336]

That bus gave me so much anxiety

[@nhadji13]

Take the tram next time with air conditioning it goes all the coast line last stop voula

[@jimmackenzie4714]

Hi Johnny polar bear lol. Couldn't believe what I just witnessed on your video the amount of people on that bus OMG. Been to the greek islands several times before they went commercial and we had fantastic times. Keep up the great videos.Slava Ukraine ❤️ love from Scotland ❤️

[@whitespace1727]

Hello Jim, i’ve been to many european countries and I’ve experienced packed buses so many times. What makes the difference from Athens?

[@jimmackenzie4714]

The buses on the islands at that time I visited weren't commercialised so wasn't so busy. Never been to mainland Greece maybe one day I'll get there and experience the public transport.

[@whitespace1727]

@@jimmackenzie4714 yes, I get it, I also come from an island so I confirm this. But for example, a few months ago, I was in Amsterdam and I experienced almost every day packed buses.

[@roygaber8659]

The travel agencies cater to those looking for an escape from the public transportation system. Thanks for the tour Johnny.

[@GREGGXYZ]

Next time you should take the tram from downtown Athens to the beach. Very convenient.

[@annehersey9895]

Johnny how’s the water compared to SoCal? Colder? Same? It’s about 65 now here

[@JohnnyFD]

It was much colder in Athens. But it'll warm up next month I'm sure.

[@JohnnyFD]

Hahah thanks! I felt that day was funny and bizarre. 😂

[@pjl8119]

The crazy people, the overcrowded and poorly run public transport, the urban decay, the divide between rich and poor. It really looks like a sunny version of the better parts of England. The beach was nice.

[@janeslater8004]

The islands not like that thought well the parts i went to arent

[@VegardThefilmmaker]

I'm getting too old to get stuffed in a hot bus like sardines. Crazy experience hehe

[@M1Y4MUS4SH1]

if i remember well has tram for voula...actualy has tram for all beaches there..more comfortable than buss more faster and if i remember well same price...maybe im wrong

[@antonisathina]

Actually Johnny, the pastry shop called Kosmikon where you went is very famous for its Galaktompoureko, so you did a good thing trying it out.

[@JohnnyFD]

Oh awesome! I had a feeling it would be good, and it was!

I’m really enjoying Johnny’s journey back to Ukraine.. it’s like my daily soap opera! Thought Johnny was gonna kick off on the bus 😂💪😅

I liked the Juggernaut comment :)

[@SimonTmte]

I'd have the same thoughts about Athens as Italian big cities, lackful urban planning, too many cars, income inequality, high population, overtourism, warm climate, it'd all make people miserable/angry , not care about being considerate and considerate about the environment in general (not littering say), so a negative social environment all in all, just my impression of things,

[@samparkerSAM]

Listen to Autobus Calypso by Ivo Robić & Beti Jurkovic. Great Croatian 1960s music 🎶

We have the same problem with trams on Bourke street in Melbourne, tourists stand in the door ways and aren’t too far either

These countries population less than 10 million, if you cant solve the public transportation problem , what can you do for the economy, crimes, health, education ? Greece economy collapse for the last 20 years with over $400 billion dollar debt. Ukraine will face similar problems when the war is over. These level of debt impossible to pay back , only heaven can help them. Imagine you owe $10 million dollar in the US , Australia , Canada , UK and you only earn an average salary

[@SpartanLeonidas1821]

The Public Transportation in Greece is actually Amazing 😃 I know, I live here. Also, the Greeks get Free Health Care as well. As for the Crisis they experienced, Greece has paid back all their IMF Loans earlier than expected & has some of the Highest growth in all of the EU. Yes, their Debt is still High, but they are in the right track. I think you are still stuck in 2009 😂

[@VanTran-ne4yf]

I teach you about Asian values and you can learn to become a better person. if you are dumb and dont know anything then " silence is golden". The Greek foreign minister accept that Greece can never pay back those debt. The debt was created for the last 50 years, Greek the only people in the world dont know what is TAX. they never pay tax to the government. all under the table for government official

[@NikolasSerpanos]

Greece is a modern first world nation. Just go and check it out yourself you will be amazed. Just because we had financial difficulties in the early 2010s that doesn’t mean that the quality and standards of living haven’t drastically improved in the last decade. People have much higher life expectancy in Greece than in nearly any other country in the world. That’s a direct sign of wealth, health is the ultimate wealth. Cheers and hope you check out Greece for yourself someday soon you will be amazed.

Lol 😆😆 what??!! Where did you get that info?? Tourism is the country's most important industry and literally most of the state's and the citizen's income comes from the gazillion of tourists that come to Greece every year, and as a tourist you'll find it very difficult to find friendlier and more welcoming locals anywhere else in the planet.
