Sicily is really beautiful. Actually there are more Greek Doric temples in Sicily than there are in Greece. You should check out The Valley of the Temples in Agrigento, Sicily.

[@vcmk6897]

Agrigento is fine.I was there in beggining of october this year.

Thank you, video on Valley of the Temples coming soon! 😜

I got lost all the times, my wife is the navigator! Your videos are extremely well done and entertaining, drone footages are awesome, you both are funny and lovely. Congrats! I cannot believe you have just 13k subscribers, you do deserve 100 times more. Mystery of the KZbin algorithms

At least we each have somebody to guide us Giacomo! 😂 Thank you so much, your kind words truly mean more to us than you know 🥰 Haha yes that algorithm, it still thinks we are in South Africa because of our earlier content... but hopefully, that should change soonish 😅 Thank you for the support!

Beautiful video. We can't wait to visit Italy. Thank you for sharing your experiences! The greek temples are so nice

Thank you for your kind words Kyle and Sara! We are sure you guys will love Italy! 🥰🇮🇹

[@dandegi2946]

The "Magna Grecia" translated as Great Greece, were pre-Romanesque Greek colonies, they profoundly influenced southern Italy, influencing its culture and leaving many temples, theaters, founding dozens of cities and still today in some cities of southern Italy, the language Greek is still spoken.

[@estherkisob9919]

"Magna Graecia" was the name given by the Romans to coastal areas of Southern Italy. In the present day it is the region of "Calabria" Sicily although also a region of Greek colonization is not usually included in this area.

What I enjoyed about this video are the panoramic views from the Temple and Theater. They are awesome. They always builds on top of the hills to get the best views. As one commentator just mentioned (The Valley of the Temples in Agrigento) probably has a lot of Greek temples more than in Greece. Another " Walking Tour" featured them. Thanks for the video.

[@TheGlobalExpats]

Thank you, they truly are magnificent Esther! 🥰

[@erikweimann3001]

Just came from visiting the site. After your visit there must have been a devastating fire. The trees you see in the background are gone. They rebuilt the visitor's center and now you have to pay entance fee. 12 Euro to see both, the temple and the theater. This way you will not get lost there anymore.

I think that horse is from a piece that was done in Gibellina (not far from Segesta) it was a recreation of the earthquake that took the city out.

Another great video! Thank you! My worries are that I won’t be driving visiting Sicily, so I’m not sure being able to visit some of the amazing places without a car! However, I’ll take buses & trains as much as I possibly can rely on the public transportations!

[@TheGlobalExpats]

Hi Evy! Yes some places require a car to get to unfortunately, but you can see a lot of the island by train or sign up to do a bus tour that might be able to take you to places like this! 🤗

Hi Misha & Matteo, I love your channel because you are active and enjoy life (and so do I) I just got back from a week on Malta (check out St Peter's Pool). But back to Sicily: there are a couple of hikes along the coast on the East side around Catania and Syrakus, and another hiking areaTrapani to beautiful coastal pebble beaches with crystal water. I think those nature walks/hikes to hidden coves are the best before a plate of Pasta. Nina Hill has a Sicily video with those hikes. I was hoping you would feature those. you're the best. Peter

[@TheGlobalExpats]

Aww thank you Peter, you're the best! St. Peter's Pool looks crazy, what an awesome place to see 🥰 Unfortuntely the weather was not the best as we visited the Catania area during the Medicane, so we were unable to hike anywhere or be outdoors for too long, but thank you for the recommendations 🙌🏽

Greek temples outside of Greece are not rare, in particular in Southern Italy aka Magna Graecia :)

[@TheGlobalExpats]

It is an awesome topic to learn about! 👍🏼

[@FedeDiver1]

When you go to the Campania region, you should include a stop in Paestum, where you will find the other most important complex of Greek temples in South Italy. It’s a nice place, in the same province of the Amalfi Coast!

Ehm, the Temple of Segesta wasn't greek. It was Elymian: one of the big four early sicilian tribes. Beside of that, nice video

Thanks! 👌🏽

[@JunkyarDog98]

Ever heard of Magna Graecia? Magna Grecia, was the name given by the Romans to the coastal areas of Southern Italy in the present-day regions of Calabria, Puglia, Basilicata, Campania and Sicilia.

[@ares9522]

Questi sono reperti greci non romani

[@JunkyarDog98]

@@ares9522 Certo. Io però parlavo della Magna Grecia. Ovvero il nome cui i "Romani" definivano le zone costiere dell'Italia meridionale. I Greci infatti, occuparono quasi tutta l'Italia al punto che molte città mostrano ancora oggi tracce visibili della loro impronta greca, per questo motivo tutta quella parte dell'Italia fu chiamata "Maior Graecia" perché i Greci vi fondarono tutte le città.

[@giulianoradice4715]

Magna Grecia (megale hellàs)was the name given by greeks .

[@riccardoc1430]

The temple in Segesta is NOT Greek 😅 It is Elymian. Elymians were an ancient people who lived in Western Sicily. Even you said that in the video!

[@bellosjt]

Elymians, from the greek word Ελυμοι ,was ancient tribal people in the iron age who lived in Sicily.They spoke and used the ancient greek alphabet and they used the greek arcitecture to built their temples.

I don't want to be negative or question your plans, but I did some math... it's the fourth month in Sicily (which deserves all of them, don't get me wrong, and your videos have always been interesting, well done and high quality). There are 20 regions in Italy. At this pace, it'll take you seven full years to do the whole tour.

[@RaDi0-HeAd]

@Captain Ufo Sicily is like it’s own country and why we call it the piccolo continente. It’s the largest region of Italy, the largest island in the Mediterranean, and the territory with the most satellite islands. You could spend a lifetime in Sicily and never see it all. C’era na vunta unu cuieddè di Enna nun tuccà mà la rina a lu muari. Vossìa lu capì? Let’s enjoy the view and when they get to Italy, they get to Italy. Sicilia bedda, Sicilia bedda.. 🎶

[@TheGlobalExpats]

Haha thank you for your concern and compliment! We have finished Sicily but there are still quite a few videos to come out, for now we are up north 🙌🏽 Just remember, each region is a different size and Sicily was the largest with the most to offer 😅 Plus, 7 years in Italy sounds like a good movie title... you never know! 😂
