@@SammyandTommy .Sammy if you dont like give it to me . If Tommy put silicons ...:))))it doesn't look like you but it works:))))(i joke) .
All good thoughts from a man who loves you.
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
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.
This is amazing! Thanks so much for the translation. Lucky you to have been to so many places. Really appreciate you sharing this!
The Peloponnese just might be the best place in the world for a road trip 👍
It's the perfect place 💯 Thanks for watching!
I have driven let's say 50% of it in 5 days with a '60s Lambretta scooter.
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
What a trip, trip of a lifetime ❤
Thank you guys. Stay safe 🍀🍷🍾
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!
The cows are so massive and beautiful! You guys definitely need to visit! Thanks for watching 👋
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!
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!
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.
Thanks so much! Yes way way too much data 🤦 Happy to hear you enjoyed the video! You stay safe as well! Appreciate the support 👊
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.
Thanks for the wonderful suggestions! That’s so awesome you got to enjoy a wonderful week visiting your parents! Appreciate you 💜
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.
I d love to have a top 10 from the places in Greece you guys visited. As a local, it's always interesting to to see what people from other cultures think about my country.
We love this idea! Thanks for the awesome idea!
I just love your videos! Thank you for the life update. That Peloponnese road trip was gorgeous. I can't wait for your upcoming adventures.
Thank you so much friend 🤗 We are so excited to be traveling again! Can’t wait to share new adventures!
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!
Greece is so Beautiful and seems lightly populated.
Such an amazing place 😍 Thanks for watching!
The countryside is almost empty. 80% of the population is concetrated in the two main urban centers of Athens and Thessaloniki
@@user-yf9yz5jj9j thank you for that information. At first, I was wondering why it is so empty?
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.
Thanks for all the great information! My parents are visiting there this next month so I will pass on this awesome info. Thank you for sharing!
I loved Nafplio...
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+! 🎉
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.
Thanks for all the info! My parents are heading there in a month so this is very helpful thank you!
First things first Team Short Hair
BEAUTIFUL PELOPONESSOS
Enjoy watching. Great video lovely couple!
Thanks so much friend 🤗
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.
No way did I even realize this was filmed 2 years ago!! I have absolutely love watching your channel - I think I started watching in Laos or Thailand, but of course gone back and watched everything from start to finish!! I'm just a few vids behind and catching up! You are both so talented and natural story tellers, it's a joy to watch a newbie channel with so much skill and professionalism (not that I would expect everything to be perfect). You guys are just awesome!!!
Hi Melissa 👋 Thanks for making our day! Really appreciate all your kind words! It really means a lot 🤗 We are super excited to continue to improve and create new content finally! Thanks for all the love 💜
Lovely video! We visited Kardamyli recently, it is so charming!

Thanks so much friend! Really appreciate all your compliments! Good to know about the long hair and beard😂 Thanks for the feedback! We are super excited about our Canada videos too! See you soon friend 👋
Hope you guys had a blast in Greece!! If you’re ever at Mani again, check out Limeni, it’s just 40 mins south from Kardamyli :)
Thanks for the great suggestion! My parents are heading there soon. I will make sure they check it out!
YES!! Can't wait to see y'all back out here on the trail! Our 1st year I didn't shave or get a haircut...I looked like The Dude 🤣🤣 Shave it all off and start again Tommy! Love it 🙏🙏🤙🤙❤❤ Much love from us!

Loved the Greece series, had so much fun watching these beautiful historical places! ☺.. I am so excited for this new phase of the channel with recent content, I really can't wait! 😎.. You guys nailed this first chapter with awesome quality content and you guys deserve the biggest success. You bring such a positive energy in your videos that it brightens up our days, thank you so much for that! Now I gotta say Tommy, you look way better with short hair, my friend! 😄.. In fact, at 15:32 you got a pretty sick hairstyle, you should keep that one! haha... Best of the best to you both! ☺
We are super excited to be all caught up and traveling in real time! We can’t say how grateful we are to have your support for such a long time! Thank you! I agree with you. The short hair needs to come back 😂 Now come meet up in South America!
@@SammyandTommy I love your content and I'm cheering so much for your success! I hope we'll be able to meet someday, either in South America or somewhere else 😊😊
As a Greek i hope you enjoyed my country and come back for a summer cruise from Ionio to Aegean sea
We loved our time there! We will be back! Still so much to see!
My house is at Potoheli Argolida.. Near Nafplio, Greece is my second home!
Nice sharing friend ♥️
Thank you! 🤗
Amazing, I will the there for two weeks mid september !!!
That's awesome, enjoy! Safe travels!!
Great video! I’m bummed for you that you missed out on Areopolis and Limeni when you were in the Mani- next time! :)
Thanks so much! Next trip we won't miss it! We appreciate the suggestion 🙏
Hello from the upper left USA! We love your videos! Your home town looks familiar! 😉
We enjoy the upper left 😉 It seems you might as well! Thanks for watching!
the Greece is so full of history and islands, whatever you turn your head ,will got one of this !
what food was a good experience for you guys ?
The food in Greece is absolutely incredible! I don't think we had a bad meal haha 🥰
really love the video but especially the LIFE update, team short here :D
Thanks friend 💜
Wow we watch you guys regularly and we are so in shock that the videos we’ve been watching is 2 yrs old Lmaoo it all makes sense now
Sorry about the confusion! "It all makes sense now" 🤣 We will be up to date soon. Thanks for sharing!
Good video! Pity though that you did not visit the temple of Asclepios, of healing while in Epidauros. Interesting where they kept the snakes!
Beach views or sea views, no oceans here :)
so did you reserve rooms as you went?
I'm team "short hair" 😄
Thank you for sharing your beautiful videos.
Our pleasure! Thanks for sharing friend!
Way to go catching up on all the old footage! That’s must have been overwhelming at first. Did you do any editing on the road or just after your trip?
Thanks so much! It was way overwhelming at first but now we are so close now. We did some editing on the road but the majority of it was done once we returned. Only a few videos left! Thanks for watching guys!
Come on! You did not go to Diros cave?
In Greece we don't clink the glasses (or paper cups) with coffee.
Because we do it at funerals and many have it for bad luck. "Γρουσουζιά".
Thanks for letting us know. We are so used to clinking 🤦♂️ We can’t help ourselves.
@@SammyandTommy Now you are cursed with eternal love for Greece.
wow i found youre channel from these greek videos and i gotta say the quality of your videos is amazing. Please do yourself a favor and visit Vergina and Pela archeological sites. It is where Alexander the great was born and in Vergina his father is burried. Aside from that i defenitely recommend Pilio. All the best
Thank you so much! We appreciate the suggestions as well! Next time we are in Greece we won't miss these!
Really great job but no ocean to see in greece.
Great video! How did you like traveling in March? Did you swim at all?
Thank you! We love the shoulder season...cooler weather, less crowds, and cheaper. It was a little too chilly for us to swim but we saw others doing it!
Nafplio W
Team short hair! Definetely!
Damn you didn't visit Limeni and Mani
like the short hair
Thanks Suzy!
Sammy looks a bit like Viva Bianca (Australian actress) 🤔
I agree ,buddy!
Did most Greeks speak and understand English? I trying to learn a little Greek before we head over and wondered how much I need to learn to get by.
English is widely spoken but it is always appreciated to learn a little native language before you go somewhere, enjoy your trip!
Long Hair all the way
Thanks for the input 👊
What ocean is that luv? Pacific, Atlantic or Indian?
Επειδή όλες οι αγγλοσαξονικές χώρες βρέχονται από ωκεανούς, οι Αγγλοσάξονες έχουν συνηθίσει όπου βλέπουν θάλασσα να την αποκαλούν "ocean". 🙂
MEDITERANIAN SEA! IS A CLOSE SEA FROM SPAIN TO EGYPT!!!! FROM WHICH PLANET YOU CAME FROM!!🤣🤣🤣😝🤪😜😜😜😃😀😁😄😆😅😅😅
From Greece but I'm trying to make a point.

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.
Thanks for the great suggestion! My parents are heading there soon and will make use of your advice.
