Not retired just doing some research things to do in Athens. Fellow creator here.

[@RetirementTravelers]

So much to see in Athens. Kolonaki make a great base to explore. Good luck with your channel. John and Bev retirementtravelers.com

[@vmichelita]

Great one! We also did that climb and were humbled by the fact that there was a woman in a dress and Very High Heels with a toddler in tow who was right behind us 😳 Love, love Athens! Excellent vlog on what to do and how to enjoy yourself!!

[@RetirementTravelers]

Thanks so much for following along and glad you enjoyed the video. Athens has SO much to offer. What a nice city. We have had an amazing time in Greece so far. John and Bev

[@Anonymous-One1]

I have really enjoyed your videos on Greece. I had no idea Greece had so much to offer. Prior to watching your videos it was pretty low on my list of places to visit. You have definitely changed my mind!

[@RetirementTravelers]

Glad you liked them! Greece has so much to offer. Hope you get to go sometime. Happy journeys, John and Bev retirementtravelers.com/

Ok, now wait a minute!! I really thought Hill Assist was REAL!! lol John, I go heavy on the tzatziki too. Thanks for the beautiful video!

[@RetirementTravelers]

We think it is a great new service 🤣🤣 John and Bev

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

I LOVE tzatziki! Or should I say olive tzatziki ❤️❤️

[@RetirementTravelers]

Thanks 🤣🤣. It is delicious!

[@JohnandCaraRetiredTravellers]

Beautiful views! John your hired! We too love the food in Greece everything looked delicious! Great video guys, thanks for taking us back! ~Cara 😊

[@RetirementTravelers]

Thanks you two. Glad you enjoyed the video. Greece has been wonderful in every way. John and Bev

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

The view from the top was absolutely amazing! I do like your innovative new hill assist products you are offering! My only sarcastic comment is that Kolonaki sounds too much like colonoscopy 😂 Beautiful video as always, John and Bev!

[@RetirementTravelers]

Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed it. The new hill assist product seems to be breaking down more often. Could be a warranty issue! 🤣 John and Bev

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

@@RetirementTravelers Maybe you need to trade in for a newer model?

[@charletteprzybylski3417]

John and Bev, I am so enjoying seeing some of the world through your eyes and travel adventures. What you are doing is the best motivation to simplify, to downsize the stuff to have more life experiences! Gratitude!!!

[@RetirementTravelers]

Wow! What a great message to wake up to today! Thank you for the encouragement! We appreciate it! We’re glad your find inspiration! John and Bev ❤️ www.retirementtravelers.com

[@DestinationEarth]

That city really spreads! Awesome view from the top. Crazy that only 14,000 people are here. What a great day! Akane would also be in heaven in that market, and I would be in heaven having that food! A museum is a great way to cap off the day!

[@RetirementTravelers]

Thanks. We really enjoyed Athens. Wonderful city with lots to see and do! John and Bev

[@TheBestofUSTheFloros]

Duane and I are loving your antics. It's nice to just sit down at the end of the day and see the beauty of our world. Great job you two!

[@RetirementTravelers]

Thanks so much for following along. We do have a beautiful world with many amazing people. Safe travels on your adventures as well. John and Bev

[@yawen6110]

You guys are such a lovely couple.😘 I love seeing how you interact.😍

[@RetirementTravelers]

Thanks for kind words. John and Bev retirementtravelers.com

[@jiyise]

Enjoying your vlogs very much, specially this one including hiking, scenery, farms market, food, and museum. We stayed the same area when we are in Athen. I hope to learn more local foods from your videos, which will give ideas for our travel. My wife and I like to travel on foot and/or by public transportation, and we love to hunt local food. Check out the places you guys went could be next fun activities for us. 😀

[@RetirementTravelers]

Thanks so much. Hope you enjoy our vlogs and can follow along on our journey around the world. John and Bev retirementtravelers.com/

Hi John and Bev. We've watched some of your videos and they are very inspiring for many people. We admire your path to early retirement. Greetings from Norway and good luck on your travels.

[@RetirementTravelers]

Thanks so much and we look forward to visiting Norway in the future. It has been a great journey so far and we appreciate you following along. John and Bev

[@jeanjeannie4590]

Everything looks amazing. The food, the flowers, the fruits and veg markets, the view! Wow. Your airbnb looks very nice. My retirement budget will be quite allot smaller than yours by the looks of the places you Stay 💲💲💲💲 but it's nice to see. Thanks for sharing

[@RetirementTravelers]

Thanks so much. Glad you enjoyed the video. We always try to shop for bargains and only paid $61/night for this one!!! Safe travels and thanks for following along. John and Bev

[@jeanjeannie4590]

@@RetirementTravelers oh wow! What a bargain...good to know.

[@RetirementTravelers]

Booking well in advance was the key to this one, although not always possible. John and Bev

[@travellingwithcrowsfeet]

Loved the intro...the uphill part of the video ha ha ha. Great vlog, very motivating, thank you for all the tips in this one...we love your weekly vlogs, thankyou, great pick me up after a hectic weekend working in the Australian Federal Govt election, our last one whoop whoop, goodnight.

[@RetirementTravelers]

Thanks for following along and glad you are one step closer to retirement. John and Bev

[@theflyingfinneys]

Another lovely video with great music as always and what a fabulous local market you still makes across.

[@RetirementTravelers]

Thanks so much. We love exploring all the local markets! John and Bev

[@hannahcoy8644]

What gorgeous views!!! Athens is a must see!

[@RetirementTravelers]

Athens is a wonderful city. We hope you get to visit someday!

[@eleusis777]

If you guys are still in Athens, you have to try 'Aleria' restaurant.......amazing and sophisticated Greek food experience and a great value considering it just got a Michelin star--a highlight of the best ingredients from around Greece. A place like this would be much more expensive in Italy, France, or New York........cheers! PS: it has 5 stars on Tripadvisor.......something virtually impossible to get.

[@RetirementTravelers]

Thanks so much. It sounds delicious. We’ve moved on to Italy, but will make note the next time we are in Athens. It is a city we love! Thanks again, john and Bev

[@mattbailey9396]

Gut health!! Ha! I gotta say, it seems a smart move to have matches t-shirts on filming days. And not just for branding/advertising. Surely it’s nice to just pop out of bed….ball cap and t-shirt, ready to go. I suspect it might also get you a bit of good will at restaurants/shops, when they see you filming, and roll out a bit of red carpet hoping their business gets shown in a good light. Fun video!

[@RetirementTravelers]

They love to give you raki…..🤣 We’ve had so much fun with these shirts interacting with people around the world, it would be hard to stop at this point! And our road to minimalism from a few years ago has been dramatic, but actually love not having to keep up with any “stuff”. John and Bev

[@mattbailey9396]

@@RetirementTravelers glad the shirts are such a positive!! And yes, ‘stuff’ is best avoided!

[@jonathantitus2629]

Great video. We hope to get to Greece next summer, but in the interim we are trying a fairly new Greek restaurant we stumbled upon while driving to one of our son's college soccer games. It is a bit of a drive, but there are only a couple Greek restaurants accessible to where we live in southern Indiana. Your video definitely has whet my appetite. Thanks for sharing!

[@RetirementTravelers]

Thanks so much. Greece has so many amazing places. We loved the islands, Athens and Meteora. Thanks for following along on our journey. John and Bev

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

Ashley looks just like you, Bev!

[@RetirementTravelers]

Thanks so much!

[@vanessawong921]

Hi there. I enjoyed this vlog very much. Thanks for sharing! I wish to ask how you can travel more than 90 days in Schengen countries. Is there information you can share on how to purchase a condo or apartment in Kolonaki. Thank you!

[@RetirementTravelers]

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed. Schengen rules are 90 out of 180 days, so we spent 90 days in the Balkans (outside zone), before returning to Schengen. This way we extended our European trip to 9 months. No info on purchasing property in Kolonaki. Sorry. John and Bev PS Be sure to check out our new website. retirementtravelers.com

[@rafaelcardoso6605]

hi i saw you two in portofino today !!

[@RetirementTravelers]

Cool. Thanks for the note. We are enjoying Italy. John and Bev

[@victoriajacobson2696]

Hey John and Bev i know its been a bit but i clicked on your Airbnb link to the place you booked and it takes me to the main Airbnb page not the actual place you booked. this has happened several times before. can you give me the link or the name f the accommodation. I'll be in Athens in about 7 months...thanks very much. As always, really enjoying your vlogs!!

[@RetirementTravelers]

We went back to our receipt and tried to send you the link, but couldn't. We checked their availability and there was none for the next year, so I think they have removed the listing. I couldn't find it on Airbnb either. Sorry we couldn't be of more help. Happy Journeys! John & Bev

[@victoriajacobson2696]

Ok. I really appreciate you checking all of that. Thank you!

[@eileen1119]

Would it be possible to subtiltle costs of food, meals, hotel etc ? That would be so helpful.

[@RetirementTravelers]

We did a video on how much does it cost to travel the world. Perhaps that will help. John and Bev retirementtravelers.com
