The bills you got from the first guy were much older and valuable than from the second lovely old guy. Those are the newest drahma we had until 2001.

[@ethicsexistentialism4191]

Yeah, but he got a steal to find that Brownie camera with the second guy!😁👍😉

[@aggelosgamer]

the second guy overcharged him like crazy

[@m.st..]

The antique shops are my favourite! You can find real treasures there! What I really appreciate is that, although it's a touristic market, shop owners let you take your time while they sit quietly on their chair. No pressure.I hope you enjoy yourself. ❤

[@SajjadKhan-jn7cw]

beautiful market and friendly people of Greece and great video as always thanks for sharing Chris 👍

[@eleniasimop]

This is a great video. I loved your interaction with the local people. All the guys you bought the old money from knew alot more about the history of the coins and it was obvius they wanted to give you more information but it was difficult for them to tell you in english. Solon (ΣΟΛΩΝ) for example was an ancient Athenian statesman and lawmaker and he tried to explain that to you saying he was something like a lawyer.

[@Travelwithchris]

Thank you so much, I appreciate the kind words!

[@alexhimis7229]

Very nice video, Greece and Athens is BEAUTIFUL , more videos from Greece please!!!!!!

[@Travelwithchris]

I only have a few more on the way, but I will be back!

[@markm3436]

It's a shame they had to adopt the Euro, it's like taking away part of their history.

[@visionsofthepastblog]

Same in ireland with the punt, our pre euro currency. Fuck the euro.

[@athenarockabilly6245]

Idiots

[@nkscou9008]

It would have to be done. Greek gold has always been a utopia. It has always belonged to the private individuals who owned the banks that had the monopoly of creating a "national" currency (drachma). When Greece adopted the euro, the gold left the country and returned to its owners. This is a part of history that unfortunately many of my Greek compatriots do not know.

[@theBARON3155]

That's in the whole of Europe the same. We in Holland also had beautiful money, then came the euro.😢 These are butt ugly.😂

[@mohdhaikal7654]

This is one of the calmest pieces of content i've ever seen...there is no need to negotiate with the seller...you are very kind bro...keep it up 👍

[@GeorgeD-dm8rz]

Great video. We stayed in a air bnb apartment above the music shop on the corner. The view from the balcony of the acropolis was amazing...loved walking around the market. ..its a pity I didn't look for the alexandra the great notes. I would've bought them. They same holiday I went to pella. To see where alexandra was born.

[@Z051v701]

They put it in a bag for you 48:30! 😂😂😂 That keychain is epic!

[@Mercy_Chanter]

I love your videos, I just subscribed. The statues with the phallus depicts Dionysus. In ancient Greek religion and myth, Dionysus is the god of wine-making, orchards and fruit, vegetation, fertility, festivity, insanity, ritual madness. The phallus represents orgies because Dionysus was also known for orgy gathering festivals. I'm Greek by the way, was born in Athens but now live in Cleveland Ohio.

[@Travelwithchris]

Thanks so much, I appreciate the support!

Unfortunately he didn't get the big one he wanted, but he did get a mini version!

[@edstravel]

Keep up the great content Bro Chris 😊

[@ЯрославКривич-ч4э]

@travelwithchris .. I think the difference is the quality of the bills from the first guys, quality, age and rarity I'd say

[@Travelwithchris]

Yes I thought about that afterwards!

@Travelwithchris enjoy everyone of them mate 👍 keep up the good work bro

[@eleniasimop]

There are vases of many different qualities.Many of them are handmade and hand painted, some others are factory made and hand painted, some others are factory made and printed. If they have a seal in the bottom or a card around their "neck" with written information about their quallity it sais the truth. They would pay a fine if not. Also there are dublicate copies from ancient origimals {in the museums} which are the most expensive.

[@Travelwithchris]

Thank you so much!

[@alexandravalassis8390]

Chris can you recommend some inexpensive but good Airbnb’s in Athens? I’m going for a month July 27, 2024. You seem to know what you’re talking about & I love your videos! Very informative

[@ang9266]

I don’t have an Airbnb to recommend My husband and I travel to Greece every 2 years if you don’t mind I’ll share some places you should really visit meteora Pargha try to stay there a couple of nights you’ll really enjoy it especially during the the Virgin Mary festival Crete chainia and Heraklion both beautiful Thessaloniki I recommend don’t spend more than 2 nights in Mykonos or Santorini Greece has so much to see and experience Have a wonderful trip

...you got slammed paying so much for those notes bro! 😂😂 but hey, thats the thrill of a market ! fun fun fun!

[@m.st..]

Not true. I bought old money from the same man after I had checked the prices. Prices are the same for tourists and Greeks and that one was and very old, plus authentic. It actually was a good deal!

[@sheep.herder]

@@m.st.. you got ripped to? 🤣

[@m.st..]

@@sheep.herder 🤣🤣🤣🤣That was a good one. Matter of fact, I am Greek and a collector, so I know about prices, but I also appreciate good sense of humour. Take care bro ♥️

[@sheep.herder]

@@m.st.. 🤣 markets are so much fun! it's all about the hussle! let me share with you just a glimpse of how I have hussled in markets... two of us were selling flowers on a 36°C day...there was only one entrance and exit to this market and stalls on the way in were half full being it was too hot! so we decided to split the stock, take half to an empty stall across from where we were...as the customers started to walk past and go into the market, they saw my ridiculously expensive flowers, compared to the other stall. some even laughed and mentioned the guy before you had them half the price... little did they know it was controlled competition 🤣 we sold heaps that day. even I managed to convince a few that mine were better quality and would last longer than the cheaper ones! 😅 🤣🤣 true story... it's why i laughed hard at Chris when he mentioned he might have been hussled hard! ahaha 🤣🤣 glad you picked up on the humour 👍

I didn't realize to many from Albania living in Greece

[@Travelwithchris]

Yes so many!

[@Gk-ug6gu]

Best place to immigrate in the 90s in South Europe. Especially back then the gap between Greece and with every other Balkan country was immensely huge. Nowadays unfortunately for us (Greeks)and fortunately for the others this gap has been decreased by a lot. Also with Albanians we have had many population exchanges for centuries. A big part of nowadays greek society has Albanian DNA and the other way around but less. They always tend to immigrate in Greece.
