Greece is so magical. One of the most beautiful countries in the world. Thank you Sammy and Tommy for the video.

[@SammyandTommy]

We couldn't agree more 😍Thanks for watching!

[@navaxoalaska3749]

Greece is the paradise its the light on earth.

[@randyirvine5858]

I can imagine Hercules roaming around there. Stunning scenery. Any smashing of the plates? Great work guys👍

[@SammyandTommy]

Exactly! It is such a special place 😍 No smashing of the plates sadly. Next time for sure! Thanks for watching friend!

[@MaryJPatou]

Mainland of Greece has hundred of sites to visit, try Movemvasia castle, Mani, Zagoria villages in Epirus, Mount Pelion, Ancient Olympia, the city of Kastoria with the popular lake and of course Thessaloniki for the best of night life!!!

[@SammyandTommy]

Thanks for the great suggestions Mary!

[@flukos79]

plus the overlooked area of Eastern Macedonia and Thrace

[@westnblu]

@@flukos79 Thrace has an incredible history which i have learnt recently. Its a fascinating place and not too many ppl know Spartacus the most famous slave was from Thrace. Also Einstein credited his math teacher for motivating him as a student to learn more about math and physics, His math teacher was from Thrace.

Πίστεψε με , οι ξένοι τουρίστες , για το μόνο πού ΔΕΝ ενδιαφέρονται , είναι η νυχτερινή ζωή !!!! Είναι κάτι πού δεν το ξέρουν στην χώρα τους , καί δεν τούς λείπει ! Η νυχτερινή ζωή , είναι στην ιδιοσυγκρασία μόνο των Ελλήνων ! Έχουμε μάστερ και ντοκτορά , στο γλέντι ,και στη νυχτερινή ζωή ! Δυστυχώς ή ευτυχώς !!!!!

[@KeepGoingPlaces]

The monasteries on top of those rocks are incredible. Loved the drone shots (and Greek Yogurt 🤤)!

[@SammyandTommy]

Thanks friends! It’s an amazing place 😍

[@vaggant5557]

I recommend you a trip that includes Thessaloniki, ancient Pella,the birthplace of Alexander the great ,Vergina with the Macedonian tombs and Edessa waterfall or Kastoria town.

[@SammyandTommy]

Thanks for the great recommendations!

[@Ptolemy336VV]

There is so much more on Greece and so so much more on the mainland. You have no idea. I myself did a route between mountains, gorges, rivers, lakes, hotsprings, and other spectacular nature, My own route in February was lake Kerkini, Pozar hotsprings, Mount Olympus, Meteora, from Metsovo to Konitsa on old road passing by and visit Tymfi mountain with Vikos Gorge, Aoos gorge, Mt Tymfi dragon lake, Tzoumerka mountains, Pindus mountains, Acheloos valley, Lake Kremaston, Evrytania, Karpenisi-Prousos, Mount Giona+Mount Vardousia, Lake Mornos, Mount Parnassos, Evia ajd Mount Dirfi and around, Go to Nafplio and so on and so on. Check out all these regions and areas by googling every separate of these areas. You will be surprised

[@SammyandTommy]

Thanks for all the wonderful recommendations!

[@i.t3854]

WOW you have been in so many places, all beautiful by the way. I'm Greek and i still haven't visited all of the ones you mention!

[@Ptolemy336VV]

@@i.t3854 Thank you! I love Greece. Truly. If anyone would visit Greece in the ways I do, and know the things about Greece that I have seen, and know that Greece is truly overblown with immense diversity and beauty in endless of ways, people would be even more loving of Greece. Greece is widely regarded as one of THE most beautiful countries in the world, and yet ynly 1-2% of Greece is advertised and yet Greece is famed for it's stunning beauty. Athens, Meteora and 20+ wonderful Greek islands are usually featured and yet they miss another 6000 islands and then the mainland all around. Greece is 80% mountains, very geographically complex, incredible geology diversity, and incredible coastlines. What can one expect when these things combine? Hence I can recommend anyone going around the country and seeing it's many unknown gems

[@panayotisdamianakis3658]

Beautiful people in a Beautiful part of the world. I enjoyed watching you enjoy it. :)

[@SammyandTommy]

Thank you so much! Happy to hear you enjoyed it 👊

[@Jupe367]

My favorite Greece series is this one, Meterora. The drone view of the monasteries on top of the mountain is picturesque. Great respect to the ancient builders.

[@SammyandTommy]

Thanks so much! It's a very special place 😍

[@nikosp5816]

Greeks see a tall rock...you know what that rock needs?A church ofcourse!

[@hisnameisvu]

απολύτως απίστευτο (absolutely incredible) video my friends, I was literally in awe of the sheer beauty of Meteora, the sunsets 🌇 the rock formations and everything about the place is absolutely breath taking.. now let's talk about the food the feta cheese 🧀 with the greek salad and suvlaki looked delicious, if only youtube had a way you could smell food through your cellphone that would be amazing - though I'm not a coffee drinker myself but that coffee did look like hot chocolate.. thank you once again my friends - can't wait to see where you guys go.. can't wait to connect with you guys soon.

[@SammyandTommy]

Thanks so much Vu! We were really blown away by all the landscapes 🤯 That would be amazing if you were able to smell through the lens! Trust me that coffee is nothing like hot chocolate 😂 Appreciate you man!

[@conanthebarbarian69]

What an amazing place . What an extraordinary feat to build these monasteries up there without easy access to or paths and accomplish these beautiful buildings.

[@SammyandTommy]

It's so breathtaking and impressive! Thanks for watching!

[@georgekoul]

Of course there is more. Much much more than the islands and Meteora. Mainland Greece is more Beautiful than the islands but most of the foreigners go to islands and they don't search about the mainland

[@SammyandTommy]

Very true! So many amazing places to explore! Meteora really was really worth the trip 😍

[@georgekoul]

@@SammyandTommy Next time Dragon lakes on Pindos mountain near Zagoroxoria, Sivota in Preveza, Pilio mountain in Volos, Mainalo and its villages in Arcadia central Peloponnese and Kalamata also in Peloponnese.

[@MrThessalonikiman1]

If you areinterested in road trips in mainland Greece consider the following routes. 1.Volos-Larisa-Trikala-Karditsa and end up to Meteora and then Metsovo and Ioannina. 2. Thessaloniki- Veria-Naousa-Kozani-Grevena-Kastoria 3. Thessaloniki -Giannitsa- Pella- Kilkis-Serres 4. Thesslaloniki - Chalkidiki -Mount Athos 5 Thessaloniki-. Serres-Drama - Xanthi- Komotini-Alexandroupoli. You can see even more beautiful sites and experience mainland Greece.

[@Lizos87]

[@SammyandTommy]

Thanks so much Dad 💖💖

[@orthochristos]

Great video

Absolutely fascinating! These temples remind me so much of the Movie/Cartoon "Avatar: The Legend of Aang", it was for sure inspired on this place. Stunning! And the Souvlaki omg.. I am dying to get one haha 😍

[@SammyandTommy]

It is a very unique place I could spend days taking photos and exploring! Thanks for still being here friend supporting us! It means a lot!

[@carykaradasia4568]

You know the traditional food of greece are mainly pies: cheese pie spinach pie milk pie meat pie pumpkin pie etc

@@carykaradasia4568 it sounds delicious 😋😋

[@carykaradasia4568]

@ it is especially the sweet pumkin cinnamon pie . And milk pie is delicious it tastes like the French flan pie . The gyros or kebab are persian and arrived in greece only after 1922 with the anatolian greeks who were living in ottoman empire. For instance my grandma did not know the gyros and in my town gyros came in 1980.

@@carykaradasia4568 I'll try to find a Greek cafe here in Austria to see if they've got these desserts 😋😋... There's a true Greek gyros here and it's delicious, you took the original kebab and made it better 😁

[@kostasdallas2559]

[@bobbatons1720]

First of all, great video editing man, are you a professional? Second, Greece is among the top destinations in the world. For such a little country is so diverse. I've been in many countries around the world and Greece is a place I recommend everyone to visit. And not just the islands. Your vids are actually make some justice on this issue. Take care guys and enjoy the rest of your trips.

[@SammyandTommy]

Thanks Jeff! Yes it was our favorite photo spot and the place at the very beginning of the video. You can’t miss it next to sunset rock. It’s not on map but you will find it :)

Please visit Mt Pelion, if you haven't already. You will be mesmerized by the beauty of the combination Mountains and Sea. Makes sure to get to Damouchari Beach. It's the Beach Mama Mia was shot !

[@MinimalCommentary622]

That is stunning but did you film this in winter? I'm confused by the snow capped mountains. If so then how come it's only uploaded now?

[@SammyandTommy]

Thanks! This was filmed in March. Our videos are delayed, the pandemic gave us time to learn to edit and start our channel. We will soon be caught up to real time!
