[@SammyandTommy]

[@mfadasma]

Hi, Sammy and Tommy..., The cowhands/cowboys in Montana on a working cattle ranch are on the "Short Hair Team," and I think the ( Yellowstone ) cast and crew would pick the "Short Hair Team", too... I or ( WE ) will comment on the video later... Love ya.., Mike in Montana :)

Nafplio was the first capital of the new Greek state after the revolution of 1821... When Greece became a kingdom, the first king of Greece, Otto, second son of the king of Bavaria, moved the capital to Athens for historical reasons.. At that time Athens was a village around the Acropolis destroyed by the Greco-Turkish war... greetings from Greece All your videos is really good

[@Geomatsk]

Apart from the graffiti on the shipwreck, the large words on the hull are the first words from a poem by Giannis Potamianos. A rough translation of the poem is as follows: For whoever on the horizon before you proudly stands. Like a broken sailor You see the ships setting sail You remember the seagulls On dreamlike flights to play With the foam on the wave Like a castaway kneeling in the sand You are staring at the sea No hope of travel Only with memories and dreams From ports and journeys Of waving handkerchiefs And guiding words. Excerpt from the poem The Shipwreck by Yiannis Potamianos. Great videos guys, keep up the good work! I've been to all the places you showed on your videos in Greece, absolutely stunning places.

[@SammyandTommy]

This is amazing! Thanks so much for the translation. Lucky you to have been to so many places. Really appreciate you sharing this!

[@JosefinaKontin]

What a trip, trip of a lifetime ❤ Thank you guys. Stay safe 🍀🍷🍾

[@_rmel]

I still have a lot of catch up to your current videos but over the last 4 months or so I've been watching your March 2019 - March 2020 series bit by bit. It's been such a pleasure watching your journey, I can only imagine how emotional it just have been to leave behind a year of travel and head home. Especially under the circumstances

[@street_biologist6727]

Just bumped on to your channel and first watched the episode on Highway 93 through the Canadian Rockies. I live in Edmonton and over last 30+ years, traveled through 93 many many times. It's definitely one of the most scenic routes in the world. I just finished watching this episode on Peloponnese. Greece is our most beloved country to visit and we have been there three times. Our first visit was in 2014 when we traveled through Peloponnese and visited many of the places you've mentioned in this video and also Delphi, Olympia, Meteora. We also visited Santorini and Turkey during that trip. We were fortunate enough to have world's best tour guide who took us around the Peloponnese. Watching your video, brought back many wonderful memories! Thank you for a great job!

[@SammyandTommy]

Thanks for such a wonderful comment! That’s amazing you have been lucky enough to travel that road many times 😍.We loved our time in Greece and can’t wait to return! Glad we could bring back some good memories, Thanks for sharing!

[@rrocketman]

The Peloponnese just might be the best place in the world for a road trip 👍

[@SammyandTommy]

It's the perfect place 💯 Thanks for watching!

[@azwris]

I have driven let's say 50% of it in 5 days with a '60s Lambretta scooter.

Obsessed with all the cute cows. 🥰 Would love to visit the Peloponnese, hopefully for our next Greece trip. You're video made us even more sure we need to visit!

[@SammyandTommy]

The cows are so massive and beautiful! You guys definitely need to visit! Thanks for watching 👋

[@dimilaleas8047]

Oh you guys made my day!! My parents are from Mani and l have just come back home to Australia after a magical week in Kardamyli and Stoupa. Foneas beach is my fave. It's so busy in summer it was lovely to see you have it all to yourselves. If you ever get the chance again drive up to the mountain villages above Kardamyli like Exohori or Tseria and check out the spectacular Viros gorge. The hiking is amazing.

[@SammyandTommy]

Thanks for the wonderful suggestions! That’s so awesome you got to enjoy a wonderful week visiting your parents! Appreciate you 💜

[@alexandrakapo6271]

Hi! I live in Kalamata, Greece and I’m happy to see you visited some amazing spots! You gave me some ideas for future trips too. Hope you get to come back and visit more! Maybe you will island hop next time! I also love to travel off season even though the weather can be tricky it’s more affordable and I get to meet locals and have the beaches to myself. Ever since I started swimming in the winter I love it more that summer swims. It’s an rejuvenating challenge that I recommend (wim hof challenge)😄 Both hair styles are cool btw! The Olympic national park must have be amazing! Thanks for your awesome videos!

[@Jupe367]

Greece is so Beautiful and seems lightly populated.

[@SammyandTommy]

Such an amazing place 😍 Thanks for watching!

[@ΔημοςΛιακος]

The countryside is almost empty. 80% of the population is concetrated in the two main urban centers of Athens and Thessaloniki

[@Jupe367]

@@ΔημοςΛιακος thank you for that information. At first, I was wondering why it is so empty?

Again, loved the content, very well put together! The Peloponnese is amazing both near the sea and on higher altitudes, not to mention the plethora of unique historical sites. (When I imagine the amount of data you guys have to go through...Damn!) Really enjoyed this video too, stay safe guys, greetings from Greece.

[@SammyandTommy]

Thanks so much! Yes way way too much data 🤦 Happy to hear you enjoyed the video! You stay safe as well! Appreciate the support 👊

[@johnperkins5450]

Thanks for the update! And THANKS for dating what month & year each video was shot!!!! That’s helpful, and gives good context for various reason. I appreciate that. (I wish more people did that.). Looking forward to the upcoming videos, and to see where you head off to ✈️ 🌍 next internationally. Congrats on 30K+! 🎉

[@panagiotiskallios8449]

Great video and I am so happy you visited Nafplio. Just one note the peninsula overlooked by palamidi is also a castle about 3500 years old and you can find some great artifacts in the archaeological museum as well like the most ancient complete armour in the world. Kalamata is also a nice town quite modern but nothing bits the scenery and vibes is Nafplio. Another place to visit is the castle town of Mystras near Sparta if you ever come again it's a great destination.

[@SammyandTommy]

Thanks for all the info! My parents are heading there in a month so this is very helpful thank you!

[@lornehoch8575]

I just love your cinematography, the editing and music choices of your videos. You put in a lot of effort to get your shot, and it shows in the quality of material that you produce. Well done! When watching this video, it reminded me of a photographic error that I made when I was in Epidaurus. I stood in the exact center of the ancient theatre and tried to get a picture of the whole theatre by taking a panoramic shot. What the picture turned out to be was a perfect set of stone bleachers, and not the beautiful theatre that it was.

[@theotiniacos4146]

[@ΔημοςΛιακος]

From the site "Greek reporter": A tiny church in Greece’s Peloponnese dating from the 11th or the 12th century is a miracle of nature, and for the faithful, a sign of God’s power. Religious pilgrims and sightseers alike come to visit Saint Theodora, near the village of Vasta, 30 km from the town of Megalopoli, in Arcadia, to admire the seventeen oak trees that sprout from the roof and walls of this tiny chapel without any visual evidence of roots.

An incredible finale episode for Greece. Thank you for sharing your journey with us in such an entertaining and visually interesting way. And by the way, Tommy short hair.

[@kostiskorozis]

The beach near Kardamyli is called Foneas beach, it's pretty isolated in March but during the summer months is quite popular. The whole peninsula is quite the destination though. But even broader than that, one can start from Western Messinia, continue along the Messinian Gulf, Taygetos and Mani peninsula, the Laconian Gulf, Cape Maleas and finally of course Elafonisos.

[@SammyandTommy]

Hey Americans, you’re in the Mediterranean. So what you have is not a view of the ocean, but of the sea.

[@georgekoul]

My opinion, you should be make a trip at the best part of Peloponesse, Messinia region(Kalamata, Pylos, Kardamili, Finikounta, Koroni, Methoni, Neda waterfalls, Polilimnio waterfalls, Kalamari waterfalls, Gialova.) Yes you have passed from Kalamata but you've should also visit it,it's more beautiful than Nafplio. Don't judge a city without visit it. Huuuuge mistake. Kalamata is the most Famous city of Peloponesse at this time and one of the most famous of Greece. Such a huge mislabel from you. Huuuuge. It's the most shiny city of Peloponnese. Gray really?Because of one day? Bad bad judge.
