Greece: The Unexplored Side, An Overland Film

[@lewieandtherover]

🎙If you are interested in hearing what went on behind the scenes of this film, we have something very exciting for you! On our Patreon page patreon.com/lewieandtherover we launched Lewie and the Rover The Podcast: Overland Tales, Trails and Fails. Check it out!

[@ik23c]

Finally someone did it...!!! As a Greek I wanna thank you for exploring and showing to the world this side that foreigners ignore

[@lewieandtherover]

Oh wow that is a great compliment thank you ❤️

[@martin_kanuch]

Be glad that people haven't discovered it yet, at least it can remain beautiful.

[@Ptolemy336VV]

Greece is heaven. The immense diversity of landscapes is just stupendous. Ofcourse this video only highlights a tiny fraction of Greece's immense diversity of beauties, but the fact alone that Greece lies on 4 tectonic earthplates coming together in Greece (the Asian plate, The African plate, The European plate anda 4th plate crushed inbetween), results in a very complex geography and topography with 80% mountains. Every mountain in Greece is different. And so many different landscapes, seascapes mountainscapes and so forth. I have been 60 times to Greece to know these beauties and still exploring many new areas I never seen before on the mainland, as well as I have only seen 15 islands of 6000.

[@lewieandtherover]

That is for sure. Unfortunately we didn’t had more time to explore the rest. But like we said you can spend months hear and still be surprised 😍

[@broti]

the worst mistake I made on my long term travels (with a bicycle) was: too much hurry, too much speed. you´re 100% right when you take youre time! and thanks for choosing "the other routes" - it´s great to follow you on these tracks, thank you for the hard work filming & editing!

[@lewieandtherover]

Thank you very much! Yes we are still struggling with taking our time hope to improve a bit there 😊

[@Didjitaldom]

As a foreigner living in Greece for the past 10 years, I admire greatly what you've done here :) I am almost brought to tears. You've clearly fallen in love with the country and the people in the same way I have :) I look forward to your future adventures, wherever they may take you!

I can't believe you guys went to the hidden double beach in Sithonia!

[@lewieandtherover]

[@travellersnestoverland]

Yes, it is very important to slow down, otherwise you will burn out. We travelled for 3.5 years. Travel for 6 weeks and then 3 weeks off. Just stand somewhere, just make sure you have food, fuel and water. Cheers Rolanda ❤️

[@lewieandtherover]

Yes we still didn’t do that long on one place but noticed that if we stay for two nights we recover and enjoy the rest of the week again.

Guys, what a wonderful journey what a lovely country.... my country. I have made exactly the same road trip at 2023 with my ❤️ and it is still in my mind. If I could I would be for the rest of my life on this roads getting knowing people we meet villages we visited, the spots we loved to make photos...... Lisa and I will always be on the Road just as you do.....

We are an adventurous lot us dutchies. I have just come back from a trip to the outback in Australia. Enjoy guys. This trip as overlanding trips goes will change your life. Mongolia is so beautiful. One of the most beautiful countries we have been to so far..86 and counting. Groetjes Rolanda ❤

Wow that is awesome to hear, we are thinking about extending the trip and go to Australia. Absolute dream but it is hard with Lewie 😅

[@Plutonas78]

Thank you for an amazing production guys! You are again most welcome to visit! Plenty of places to explore! Even Crete is a whole chapter!

[@lewieandtherover]

Thank you! On our way back we will definitely visit Crete!

[@leonsog9504]

Greece is wonderful, Many different sceneries from mountains, seasides and rivers. I could say that is the Heaven for trips like that with free access. (Many countries don't allow free access to mountain roads) You came in a season than has almost no tourism and this males the trip even better. I have to say that many things that appeared in the video, are against the law, and this must be known. I.e. lighting a fire in the summer by the Forrest, driving by the sandy seaside you could brake turtle's eggs, and sleeping by the seaside. You can understand what mess would be, if 5, 10 or even more cars would come and do the same things like you and trying to sleep by the sea. Have always safe journeys!

[@lewieandtherover]

Yes you are right, we understand your concerns. Thanks for leaving a comment 😊

[@RhythmofOverlanding]

You both really enjoy the rhythm of overlanding with all the amazing view. Waiting for your next video. Dont give and keep going.😀

Η τελευταία παραλία αν δεν κάνω λάθος είναι στην Χαλκιδική?

Yes we loved the mountains in Greece. Especially that you can go after beautiful beaches after some days of adventure 😍

[@user-yl9vs9eh1w]

I see some (mostly US) commenters are forgetting most of the world don't have recovery service within 20 minutes :- ) It's better be safe than sorry as few minutes of rock-crawling glory can side-track week(s) of adventure. You get stuck in Rubicon, there are 20 jeeps behind you. Not so much in Europe/Asia.

[@lewieandtherover]

Yes and it’s our home on wheels. We still need it in one piece for the rest of the world 😊 so we always have to keep in mind if it is worth the risk

Great adventure. I love your team work. We live in our van since October 2022 and our first trip was over the Balkans to Turkey. Turkey was disappointing due to even more garbage all over the places and the Kangal streetdogs were even more aggressive toward our dog than in Greece. So in Fethyie we decided to go back. Peloponnes was great, though.

[@lewieandtherover]

Thank you very much! Ah that is sad to hear. We loved Turkey so much but indeed we kept our dog far away from those big boys 😖

[@sebastionbach]

Great visuals and loved the video. No hate, but that Defender probably could have driven over some of the rocks you were moving. Don't be scared to use it's full potential! Lower tire pressure will do wonders. Go look at US or Aus 4x4 channels to see what a vehicle like a Defender with front and rear solid axles can do.

[@lewieandtherover]

Thanks for the comment 🥰 we definitely don’t know the full potential. But we also have to keep an eye out because it’s our home and we still have to bring it half the world haha

[@voorfrank]

Mooie film. Volgende keer de lier met klapblok gebruiken om de grote stenen uit de weg te ruimen.

[@koenlugtenberg3468]

Zojuist heb ik jullie kanaal ontdekt, wat maken jullie mooie reizen! Wij hebben zelf ook Land Rover Defender 90 TD5 (2003). Ik zag zojuist jullie video van de Balkan, het leuke is dat jullie volgens mij exact dezelfde wegen hebben gereden als wij afgelopen jaar ook hebben gedaan. Wij waren daar begin juni en hadden dezelfde problemen met de sneeuwbanken als jullie hier hebben in Griekenland, wij konden de routes ook niet afmaken. Super gave reis, we gaan jullie volgen!

I am sorry to say that, but you guys have a long learning curve to go. We can see that you bought the car, not built it. This Defender can do much more. Try to move the boulders with the winch for example. Don't worry about scratches. Use Low Range and just go. Next time deflate tires with your car keys. One minute, one bar more or less :D

[@lewieandtherover]

It’s ok to say that 😊 we know we aren’t experts. We are careful because this defender is our home on wheels and has to go to Mongolia and back with us 🙏🏻

[@szortalini]

[@ecostube7371]

Guys sorry if I say that. For big rock you can use your winch to move them instead of breaking your back. Half the rocks you moved away were easy to pass over with the Defender. I understand you were out there alone and maybe you didn't wanted to risk but this way you stopped your adventure too soon ;) Great video

What amazing scenery! Your vehicle is a lot more capable then you think, most of the rocks that you moved out of the way could have been driven over. Can't comment on if you could have driven the snow as I'm from Australia, but I think it would have been a challenge unless you have a lot of snow wheeling experience. Not trying to belittle you just hoping to inspire confidence in your wheeling. Good luck in all your adventures!
