    Coming from a Greek guy, this is hands down the BEST tour someone has done in a day in Athens, showcasing the beauty and complexity of it. My friend your passion is obvious, the only thing I would change is that you should try a Greek pita Gyro... You can't leave from Athens without having one!!! Good Job!!

    The chart of Greece you show in your video from 0:58 to 1:17 depicts the Greek islands of Samos and Lesbos in red, which makes it appear as if they belong to Turkey. These islands are Greek islands, and under normal circumstances, this wouldn't be a problem. However, it is an issue in this case because Turkey illegally claims that these islands belong to Turkey. Therefore, it is necessary to correct this mistake.
