One of many historical places I want to go to. Always fascinated by ancient Greek history & culture. You're so lucky, Alina! Stay safe & healthy! Cheers!
Beautiful .....one of my favourite places in the planet is the entire Aegean and it's many islands. If you like Athens you haven't seen anything yet 🤤 get ready to be mesmerized in Crete, Mykonos, Santorini etc.... In Crete I highly recommend you visit the "palace of Knossos" home to king Minos, it is the place of the mythical labyrinth/Minotaur. The view of the bay and sea below is breathtaking! I look forward to joining you on the rest of your journey.....stay safe Alina X🍻
The sense of history must be an overwhelming walking around those renowned places. Absolutely terrific tour Alina. I am very much looking forward to more........💖
@@JohnTaylor-pe5gf In America they are mandating we cover our faces in all public places like yesterday where I spent time in a greyhound station. The cases may be surging but those showing symptoms is plummeting. I'm not denying covid19 is real but if we peal the onion it is to shut down our ability to have any fun and make us sad and depressed and alone. This whole thing is a crime against humanity and I'm am going to fight for Alina's and all other's ability to travel the globe and live out there dreams.
Ooh Alina you bring to me old memories of Greece I have been to Greece almost 3time I loved it very much last visit was on 1993 for 3 months but since then I never been back after your flog you moved in me good emotion to go back may be for longer time this time thank you
I miss Greece, we live in the Netherlands but my husband is from the island of Samos and he does not like Athens unfortunately but I am trying to get him to go only for a weekend. I enjoy your videos.
Beautifully photographed, with nice sharp images. I was in Greece 7/17 and the crowd up to the Parthenon was immense. A stream of humanity, shoulder to shoulder. I see the Parthenon is still under repair. Next time I'll skip Athens and go to the islands.
Yea I went to Athens many many years ago and I was overwhelmed by its beauty and the contrast between really old and new. then back a few years ago and still loved it. Your video is super, but the English language sub-titles over laid by Russian ones drives me crazy as I can't read the English. Enjoy your travels and stay safe
I am so jealous! As a Greek-American, I was unable to travel to Greece, largely because of the pandemic. I hope you were able to enjoy yourself, Greece is such a beautiful country. Looking forward to going back next year.
Hi from Greece, there are old Greeks living in Greece, born and raised, that have never even seen a picture of the Acropolis much less visit the actual place, true story !
Superb, Alina. It feels like I´am for myself in Greece and especially in Athens. Enjoy Athina and all the delicious stuff to eat. Waiting for more Greek adventures!.
Hard to imagine the Parthenon and its buildings were still mostly intact until the 16th century. That's 2000 years. All the destructive damage was done in the last 400 years or so.
The cicadas are pretty awesome, they make the most soothing sound. I grew up in north Greece listening to their songs from June to September. Their sound is almost perfectly combined with the heat, the smell of oregano in the Mediterranenan fields and the blue of the Aegean sea and sky. Much, much better than say the annoying drizzle and the hordes of random drunk people in semi- central London.
@@AlinaMcleod To the best of my recollection there wasn't scaffolding on it the first time I visited when I was 18. I've visited it two or three other times since then and I think every other time it was undergoing renovations. For good reason I'm sure! Or maybe the workers are drinking too much ouzo?
@@GabrielTravelerVideos The renovations are essential because of the air pollution in a large city like Athens. The corrosion is significant and the marbles need constant tending to.
Gabriel Traveler Haha actually the restoration that has been going on since the 70’s is one of the most complicated restoration projects there have been. They have been reversing restoration works of the 19th century that actually damaged the building. They basically took the building apart because piece by piece and reassembled it. Now that project is coming to an end but they just approved of another project. They are gonna be raising the walls of the cells inside from original pieces found on site. By the time that finishes we’re gonna have a more 3D perspective of what the temple looked like.
Thank you for this in-depth tour of the Acropolis! You did a wonderful job explaining each site and the history behind it. There's actually a life-size replica of the Parthenon model you saw at 8:07 in US (Nashville, TN). I've been there twice and it's amazing. There's even a replica of Athena Parthenos sculpture inside!
Wow! Amazing video! I can't believe you went to Greece. Looks like the perfect time to be there however. Looking forward to the next video from Athens!
Great video. Your coverage of these ancient sites is one of the best I have seen. I hate heat and crowds so this is actually better than being there in person for most viewers. Hope your stay there is a great one.
Alina, a great video again. I was waiting for your new adventure in Greece. You are really brave staying under the Greek midday sun in August and in the Zeus temple where you don't have trees, so good job but be careful with getting a sunstroke. I don't see too many people on the streets. It seems the pandemic has lashed the tourism too much which it's a pity. Athens is an amazing city, I love it. Hope you are keeping well and stay safe. Have a good trip and looking forward to your new videos soon.
Алина привет из Санкт-Петербурга!Канадка в Греции да ещё и русскоговорящая!Почему единственная?Давно мечтаю посетить Элладу потаращиться на развалины Древней Греции у нас в Эрмитаже обширная экспозиция посвященная Греции ,но лучше увидеть в живую!Да миф о Прекрасной Елена и трёх богинях живёт в веках!Прекрасные виды ,спасибо Алина!Алина ты молодец не все могут посетить Грецию ,показывай людям, пусть смотрят на красоту чем воюют !Спасибо ждём новостей !
Welcome to Greece. You brought beauty to our place with your wonderful smile and gorgeous eyes! Wish i could meet you and show you everything here! Take care
Dear Alina:You're super lucky to have many chances to travel around the world to see all different kinds of cultures,natural sceneries,people,foods and languages.It's a wonderful lives few will be able to do this.
Welcome to Greece !!! Hope you enjoy your time here and i wish you could enjoy it in a different times than the current situation. Thank you for such lovely reprasentation of our Historical and Cultural monuments! Parthenon ,indeed, was taken over by many different religions ( I think that you are the first aknowledging that on CZcams) and, unfortunatelly, also bombarded by the Venetians at 1687.
@Prec1cs Epar Hellas it's the formal name for our country,yes. However ,the other countries, unfortunately, knows us only by Greece. I used the informal but widely known name for that reason.
What a great feeling to see all this places one more time even throught the screen I even remember the cafe where you ordered the cappuccino) Thank you for the video
Welcome to Greece. 😀 4:36 Hey I can see my home from up there, at the hillside in the background. ( If you had a telescopic lense and zoomed in 😉) Real fact : Parthenon was almost intact until 1687 that Francesco Morosini fired his cannons at it because the Turks were hidding about 500 barrels of gun powder in there. One bomb went through the ceiling and exploded the powder destroying the temple making it the ruins we see today....😕 Nice to see you enjoying yourself at our country! Beware of the hot sun though.... Edit : my Godfather lives in Canada for the last 30 years. 😊
Thank you very much for Acropolis reportage! Very nice... Greece is a huge historical scene. I wait from you, if you can, the Marathon's Battle Field and Thermophile's Battle Field reportages and the Sparta and Pella reportages too.. Pella is the city where Alexander the Great was born and Sparta is the antic country who offered to the world - THE SPARTANS, the first elite military troops in the human history... Thank's again, more health and good luck, young beautiful lady!!
Since you are heading to the Islands, I hope you find the Greek Island that is uniquely yours. There is a saying that each Greek Island has its own personality, and every person will find their favorite island if s/he takes the time to look for it.
Great videos!! Enjoy my beautiful country... Another big reason there aren't large crowds besides corona is that August is the main month Greeks take vacation time and head out to the islands hence a quieter city.
And Finally You made it all the way to Athens 🙂 Amazing place Thank you for sharing your time and effort with us during this pandemic limitation time when many of us cannot travel. 🌷
Amazing sights of Athens and the Acropolis. I really enjoy following your travels to places I'll likely never get to see. Stay safe and have fun Alina from a fellow Canadian from Vancouver Island.
First off thanks for bringing us the sights, sounds, and tastes of Athens. I truly miss seeing European cities so be this was refreshing to watch. P.S.- I look forward to island hopping vlogs and more Greek music 🇬🇷😁
Thank you, Alina, for this wondrous video of Athenian Antiquity and the accompanying history and music! You are amazing! Looking forward to your next video. Stay safe always Intrepid Angel!
WOW this was more interesting the farther you went here. Amazing to look at and try to put in mind what some of the buildings looked like intact. Tell me, did you feel safe around the ruins and felt OK going under some of those very old roofs? I'm sure you were, but I think I would have been looking out the side of my eye at some of those cracks.. As always, you shared some very good sights, and looking forward to many more... Thanks, Alina!!
Glad you enjoyed it! Yes, I felt very safe. We weren't really doing into any of the actual structures other than the first official gate, but I'm sure they've refurbished it for people to be using it. Very cool experience to see history come alive!
Good afternoon (in Athens), Alina! Thanks for capturing and sharing the wonders of the Acropolis! The ancient Greeks have left us an amazing historical legacy, including the concept of Democracy: 'demos' - the people; 'kratos' - power or rule. That's what the people of Belarus are struggling for today! Sunny ancient Athens is incredibly beautiful! Visiting Greece is near the top of my 'bucket list'. Be happy, safe, and healthy, Alina!!!
In Belarus, Western countries, the CIA, the US state Department and, as always, the ideologue of all orange coups Soros are trying to stage a coup in the country and thus detach Belarus from Russia. I hope Mr Putin will stop this bacchanalia. Stop calling the invasion of the West a democratic choice everyone has long known who and what is behind it and what awaits that country. There are no fools who believe you.
Thanks, Alina for a very nice report on the Acropolis and other sites in Athens. It’s been a few years since we’ve been there and your vlog brought back sweet memories. You’re a sweet young lady and an excellent vlogger!
This seems to be a very charming city, I hope I can visit sometime in the future when all this is over. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much!
It would have been nice to have heard a super quick 15-second special mention to the stolen Parthenon Marbles and Greece’s decades-long efforts to get them back from the British Museum. Regardless, nice video. It felt like strolling along with you, so I guess the purpose of the video was served.
Alina is an incredible tour guide, I almost felt like I was there myself, this was thoroughly enjoyable to watch. I hope to see Athens in person one day.
First off, as always, a great video. Thank you. Also, for some reason, even though I'm subscribed and receive all notifications on your channel, this video did not come through as an email announcement. It showed up on YT right as recommended for me. Anyway, excellent tour. Felt like I was there when viewed full screen with a headset. Almost smelt the stuffed tomatoes and peppers! lol As for no Canucks being there, some of us should fly over and we'll all link up :-) Have a great time in Crete.
Hello Alina ! I am Sofia and I’m actually from Greece 💙 I’m really glad you liked Athens , hope you really enjoyed your days in the city. Greek summer is very hot indeed 🥵 Enjoy the rest of your trip ! Can’t wait for your next destinations in our beautiful country ❣️
Your videos are so well made! Kudos! I'm studying in Athens and have visited all those places many times, but I'm still watching them till the end 😅 Hope you had a great time in our city! P. S. 1. Music is completely out of greek real music, but it's cute 2. Great content and editing, keep up the great work!
Hello Alina! 😊👋 This is such a marvelous magnificent superb amazing video! I have never seen anything like it. 😊👏👍🌟❤️🇬🇷💯The Acrópolis of Athens 🏛 is so cool, it’s out of this world 🌎 I can’t believe all these years it’s pretty much still standing. The ancient and modern architecture is so amazing in Greece 🇬🇷 it’s absolutely marvelous. The museum looks so magnificent, it’s so amazing with having so much priceless treasures from its time absolutely wonderful. I would absolutely love to travel and visit Greece, it’s a wonderful country. Your doing a very absolutely great job Alina 😄🌟💯👏👍 for showing us and explaining the information and history of each place your visiting, thank you so much Alina. 😊🙏👏🌟 Have a wonderful super amazing time in Greece Alina! 😄👏🇬🇷💯🌟 I wish you Alina a wonderful beautiful blessed day to you and to your wonderful family and friends. Take care and be safe Alina. 😊🙏👋👍❤️🌟🇨🇦🇬🇷🇷🇺 Береги себя и будь в безопасности Алина.
The sound of the cicadas remind me of my trip to Athens. I loved hearing them. I think you will find Crete to be a pleasant surprise. I enjoy your videos and hope you are enjoying Greece. PS how do you find the time to edit your videos so well?
Thank you! I actually just finished two weeks in Crete and it was spectacular. As with editing, thank you for noticing the effort first of all haha, but yes, it takes quite a while. Usually I will take one full day or two days to edit one video.
This video is well organized and it is strange that it is not so crowded. When I was there it was very crowded all the time. I love Athens and I went the old Acropolis museum next to Parthenon. I love new Acropolis but I could not take photos in the one section. Archeological Museum is also very nice. There are several musems you cannot miss such as Museum of Cycladic Art, Archeological Site of Karameikos Cemetroy and Benaki Museum of Islamic Art. It is very lovely city to visit.
At least, it looks like You are the only one who constantly keeps a safe distance. Of course, I understand that this is a kind of habit from ordinary life, but still 😄 Really hot episode & strong CZcamsr. Even Menander looks a little destroyed by that heat. Well, it sounds to me like cicadas are the second danger for visitors there, as well as in Tokyo in summer. Especially if you stay there for a long time, You know 🎶 😅 It's funny how the theater echoes another of your favorite things, if You remember what Dionysos specialized in. The sad fact is that we allowed such an attitude to the cultural treasury of our European civilization (& all humanity) and still cannot live in peace and harmony even within the European family. Anyways, no doubt, even in such a badly destroyed condition, it`s absolutely spectacular area. The view from the museum is also great, both from the rooftop cafe and from the inside, thanks to that glass wall like in the airport. I hope, piece by piece, all this will be restored and at least our children or grandchildren will be able to enjoy this beauty in its original form. AMazing video with bonus in the form of another beautiful shot from your Heraklion photo session. Thank You very much! ❤️ 🇬🇷 P.S.: You know, it's moment like someone else has clicked on your CZcams channel`s bell icon - 13:12 🔔
It's so surreal feeling that i was just there admiring all these treasures 2 weeks ago. Greece is Amazing, i think it my new favourite country, the history, the food and most especially, Greek people are so nice and welcoming. You should also visit Delphi and Meteora. It's really amazing. I booked with "Key Tours" 2 day tour from Athens. Fabulous hotel and 2 meals are included in the price (€148). They are really good. Totally worth it. We passed by a really beautiful mountain city near Delphi called Arachova. So picturesque. If i go back to Greece i will definitely visit there. 🙏❤
Im frm Toronto too, anyways 2019 I was in, Tokyo, London and Paris. Paris just takes the cake! can't beat the historical architecture and landmarks oh yeah the food :), i was planning next italy but pandemic sucks...but now I'm considering Greece next, thanks to your vlog. Have a safe travels/adventures, you are living your dream!! good luck
I can't believe it's almost no tourist in such a major travel destination. It's on my bucket list now. Thanks for sharing.
Wow , Athens looks beautiful especially when you get to enjoy it without the large crowds. So jealous...
Good morning Alina! I wish I can be in Greece 🇬🇷. Greetings from Miami, Florida, USA 🇺🇲

Stay safe & healthy! Cheers!
I do feel very lucky, thank you!
@@AlinaMcleod Nice! Keep exploring. I bet it's gonna be an amazing adventure for you.
I had just a general knowledge about Greece and I learned a lot from this video. Thank you, Alina 🙂
Thanks, Michele! Europe has some amazing treasures 😉
Love this beautiful country 🥰🥰
Beautiful .....one of my favourite places in the planet is the entire Aegean and it's many islands. If you like Athens you haven't seen anything yet 🤤 get ready to be mesmerized in Crete, Mykonos, Santorini etc.... In Crete I highly recommend you visit the "palace of Knossos" home to king Minos, it is the place of the mythical labyrinth/Minotaur. The view of the bay and sea below is breathtaking! I look forward to joining you on the rest of your journey.....stay safe Alina X🍻
Currently in Santorini and it’s one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been!
I was there 4 days ago it’s beautiful place and very calm now
The sense of history must be an overwhelming walking around those renowned places.
Absolutely terrific tour Alina. I am very much looking forward to more........💖
It must be scorching 🔥 in 🇬🇷 ? The cicadas love the heat. Hope you are staying hydrated Alina. Word is circulating that 🇬🇷 is the place to be.
Greece is the hot spot for travel now :))

Good MORNING ATHENS AND FIRST OLYMPIC IN ATHENS THATS BEAUTIFUL HISTORIC PLACE AMAZING ARCHITECTURE
Thanks, Alina for a very nice report on the Acropolis and other sites in Athens. It’s been a few years since we’ve been there and your vlog brought back sweet memories. You’re a sweet young lady and an excellent vlogger!
Thank you!
Looking forward to your Santorini video - one of my favorite places. Was there 2 years back around this time. Hope you will be covering Oia village.
It is gorgeous! I am jealous! But ....I am happy for you . Thanks for sharing and as always keep yourself safe and beautiful. Bye
This seems to be a very charming city, I hope I can visit sometime in the future when all this is over. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much!
It would have been nice to have heard a super quick 15-second special mention to the stolen Parthenon Marbles and Greece’s decades-long efforts to get them back from the British Museum. Regardless, nice video. It felt like strolling along with you, so I guess the purpose of the video was served.
pes ta file!!
i remember when i got stuck durring going down from there and 80 years old lady came like an angel to help me out.
Alina is an incredible tour guide, I almost felt like I was there myself, this was thoroughly enjoyable to watch. I hope to see Athens in person one day.
Thank you so much!
First off, as always, a great video. Thank you. Also, for some reason, even though I'm subscribed and receive all notifications on your channel, this video did not come through as an email announcement. It showed up on YT right as recommended for me. Anyway, excellent tour. Felt like I was there when viewed full screen with a headset. Almost smelt the stuffed tomatoes and peppers! lol As for no Canucks being there, some of us should fly over and we'll all link up :-) Have a great time in Crete.
Thank you! Yeah sometimes CZcams can be weird like that. Overall I try to post Monday or Tuesday each week :)
Hello Alina ! I am Sofia and I’m actually from Greece 💙 I’m really glad you liked Athens , hope you really enjoyed your days in the city. Greek summer is very hot indeed 🥵 Enjoy the rest of your trip ! Can’t wait for your next destinations in our beautiful country ❣️
Great video Alina. I have been following you since Bangkok 2021. I am going back in time to see your work. I love it.
Great tour...big fan of Greek food!
Ты похорошела! Видимо местный воздух и красоты, а,также, душевный покой, дают о себе знать. Как же тебе повезло - ты в таких местах проводишь время!
Its amazing isn't it. We've just left Athens and seeing the amazing sites with so few people is great.
Hi 👋🏽 thank you 🙏🏾 very much that’s was a beautiful tour I really enjoy 😊 it be safe 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Greece is Fascinating especially the Greek Food
Always good music. :)
Glad you were able to see it without any construction. I actually nearly fell to my death taking a picture here!
Imagine that i make this walk every day for my job.
Sometimes I feel a part of the great history of this land.
I love you Alina! I'm from Toronto and I wish I had met you 🙂 I'm so happy to see these vlogs
Your videos are so well made! Kudos! I'm studying in Athens and have visited all those places many times, but I'm still watching them till the end 😅 Hope you had a great time in our city!
P. S. 1. Music is completely out of greek real music, but it's cute
2. Great content and editing, keep up the great work!
Thank you! I really enjoyed my time there. Sadly with the music it's all you can find that is royalty free without copyright!
Hello Alina! 😊👋 This is such a marvelous magnificent superb amazing video! I have never seen anything like it. 😊👏👍🌟❤️🇬🇷💯The Acrópolis of Athens 🏛 is so cool, it’s out of this world 🌎 I can’t believe all these years it’s pretty much still standing. The ancient and modern architecture is so amazing in Greece 🇬🇷 it’s absolutely marvelous. The museum looks so magnificent, it’s so amazing with having so much priceless treasures from its time absolutely wonderful. I would absolutely love to travel and visit Greece, it’s a wonderful country. Your doing a very absolutely great job Alina 😄🌟💯👏👍 for showing us and explaining the information and history of each place your visiting, thank you so much Alina. 😊🙏👏🌟 Have a wonderful super amazing time in Greece Alina! 😄👏🇬🇷💯🌟 I wish you Alina a wonderful beautiful blessed day to you and to your wonderful family and friends.

Thank you!!
Alina Mcleod, Your very welcome Alina. Have a wonderful amazing time in Greece.😊🙏👍🌟🇬🇷
Good tip about multi pass, just read up about it and can be used over 5 days for €30. I found a nice apartment on AirBNB for €170 for 7 nights.
The sound of the cicadas remind me of my trip to Athens. I loved hearing them. I think you will find Crete to be a pleasant surprise. I enjoy your videos and hope you are enjoying Greece. PS how do you find the time to edit your videos so well?
Thank you! I actually just finished two weeks in Crete and it was spectacular. As with editing, thank you for noticing the effort first of all haha, but yes, it takes quite a while. Usually I will take one full day or two days to edit one video.
@@AlinaMcleod Oh cool! Glad to hear you enjoyed Crete. Really looking forward to the next video... and your editing. 😁 take care
I really love your enjoyable videos and Canadian accent, I'm learning English by watching your videos
love greece
This video is well organized and it is strange that it is not so crowded. When I was there it was very crowded all the time. I love Athens and I went the old Acropolis museum next to Parthenon. I love new Acropolis but I could not take photos in the one section. Archeological Museum is also very nice. There are several musems
you cannot miss such as Museum of Cycladic Art, Archeological Site of Karameikos Cemetroy and Benaki Museum of Islamic Art. It is very lovely city to visit.
I miss those -30 winter days when it's this hot and cicadas are deafening!
You have a very nice vlog about Greece! I am Greek, and this was a great guide! Thumbs up! Hope you had a great stay !
Thank you! I had a wonderful time!
At least, it looks like You are the only one who constantly keeps a safe distance. Of course, I understand that this is a kind of habit from ordinary life, but still 😄
Really hot episode & strong CZcamsr. Even Menander looks a little destroyed by that heat. Well, it sounds to me like cicadas are the second danger for visitors there, as well as in Tokyo in summer. Especially if you stay there for a long time, You know 🎶 😅
It's funny how the theater echoes another of your favorite things, if You remember what Dionysos specialized in. The sad fact is that we allowed such an attitude to the cultural treasury of our European civilization (& all humanity) and still cannot live in peace and harmony even within the European family. Anyways, no doubt, even in such a badly destroyed condition, it`s absolutely spectacular area. The view from the museum is also great, both from the rooftop cafe and from the inside, thanks to that glass wall like in the airport. I hope, piece by piece, all this will be restored and at least our children or grandchildren will be able to enjoy this beauty in its original form. AMazing video with bonus in the form of another beautiful shot from your Heraklion photo session. Thank You very much! ❤️ 🇬🇷
P.S.: You know, it's moment like someone else has clicked on your CZcams channel`s bell icon - 13:12 🔔
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Alina, I love your videos. I was in Athens so long ago. The music is stunning too!
Thank you so much!
I visited Athen as we are NewYorkers we don’t like the sun to much ,but when I visited Crete I had changed my mind,Crete is very gorgeous
It's so surreal feeling that i was just there admiring all these treasures 2 weeks ago. Greece is Amazing, i think it my new favourite country, the history, the food and most especially, Greek people are so nice and welcoming. You should also visit Delphi and Meteora. It's really amazing. I booked with "Key Tours" 2 day tour from Athens. Fabulous hotel and 2 meals are included in the price (€148). They are really good. Totally worth it. We passed by a really beautiful mountain city near Delphi called Arachova. So picturesque. If i go back to Greece i will definitely visit there. 🙏❤
Awesome video - thanks
Another excellent episode. Always wanted to go there myself
being an architect, this is one of the places that i wanted to see in person....thanks for sharing
Im frm Toronto too, anyways 2019 I was in, Tokyo, London and Paris. Paris just takes the cake! can't beat the historical architecture and landmarks oh yeah the food :), i was planning next italy but pandemic sucks...but now I'm considering Greece next, thanks to your vlog. Have a safe travels/adventures, you are living your dream!! good luck
