    The villages in Greece are so pure filled with people who know one another. Tell a taxi driver you want to go to Maria's house, he knows exactly who your talking about

      So true, except whenever half of the women in the village are named after a Maria haha

    There is something special about Greece in my heart always. Something connects me to it and I don't know what it is. Lovely place you live at. I hope all is well with what is happening around the world.

    Oh wow!! not sure how I found this vlog! My friend and I used to take UK tourists across to Meganisi for lunch from Nidri on Lefkas way back in the summer of 1979. We worked for a tour company and had 40 tourists every fortnight - they stayed right on the beach looking over at Skorpios island. In fact, the taverna owner gave me 2 goat bells on wood collar which I still have all these years later, hanging up in front of my eyes right now, in my sewing room !!! Everything was so undeveloped and wild then, I think that kind of feel of Greece is lost forever. I love Greece and the Greeks and was able to visit and stay on many of the islands before there were so many tourists. Best time to travel is when you are young and carefree ! thanks for the beautiful videos.

    Great video, since the first time I was in Greece (over 20 years ago!) I have dreamed to live there. Will be happening soon. Never been to the Ionian Islands but sure looks beautiful. Can’t wait to live my dream. Keep the videos coming Tina, part of the Greek dream is seeing the beautiful female Greek faces.

    I have the same nostalgia of Greece when I would visit my relatives. The combination of hot summer pine needle smell and the sound of cicadas always takes me back to walking up Mt Likavitos in Athens behind yiayia's place.

    @sitrepSNAFU Před 2 lety +1

    I lived in Thailand for 5 years, and now back in the UK I can't bare the silence of not having cicadas around, and crickets at night. One thing I did about coping with the heat indoors was 'go local.' I just used fans for cooling day and night, no aircon. It took a while but once you got used to it, you felt better in the mornings, and your skin was amazing.

    I am from JESOLO and I usually spend one week in Lefkada every year, how funny you had a video on Jesolo and are from Meganissi, which I usually visit renting a small private boat at least 3/4 times every year. Is it any easy public way that link the two islands? Thanks for your channel, I really love your contents

    What a blessing to be able to live in such a beautiful island. Would love to visit. If I do Island hopping from Corfu-Lefkada-Kefalonia-Zakynthos, would that be a great idea? Or is it too much. I have 1 month to spare. While in Cofu, would like to do day trip to Paxos and Antipaxos as well.

    • @TinaBenias
      @TinaBenias  Před 4 lety +1

      Hi Julie! Thank you for stopping by!! I am very very blessed, I am thankful every single day! Those islands are a lot, but a month is a good amount of time to see them all. I LOVE Paxos, I've often said to myself that it would be a great spot to open a second store. Antipaxos has some of the MOST incredible beaches too! I know Simpson Travel offer some pretty amazing villas to rent in all of the places you mentioned. I worked for them last year and they are pretty good. You know what would be really amazing- islanding hopping in a sail boat! I hope you come past Meganisi to visit! All the best :) T

      Thats a great question...well! Let me start by saying my Greek is terrible! As a child I went to Greek school in Australia so I know the alphabet and how to read (slowly) but like most things if you dont practice you lose it. My Dad didnt speak to us in Greek when we were little because he was focusing on learning english. I am also lazy because all my friends in Greece speak english! But the longer I am there the more I get back into it. I also listen to a lot of Greek music so I do understand a lot but fall down in the speaking area. :)
