    What is your favorite building of Ancient Greece?
  • @gadflyeye
    I’m a Greek and native speaker of Greek. I must say, your pronunciation of Greek words and proper names is impeccable. Congratulations for the videos you make.
  • @dionysise5008
    As a Greek, raised in Athens, this is the best and most complete work I've ever seen. It was simple and informative. In fact there was stuff I didn't know myself. 💯
  • As a tourguide in Athens the last 25 years...all I can say is: EXCELLENT work Manuel. Best ever seen in the web. THANK YOU. My favorite building is the Erechteion -Caryatides. (b.w.t., my wife is also architect) THANK YOU. Thanos Bairlis
  • The Universities in the world claim talented teachers like you!!! But thanks God for sharing your trips with us!
  • @peterweicker77
    The Romans viewed space as a thing to be enclosed. Controlled. The Athenians saw it as a limitless path for themselves.
  • @RPull
    Athens is my favorite city in the world. I have felt connected to it in more ways than I have felt about any other place.
  • @LawyerPapa
    I love your enthusiasm. When I was going to school, I used to get a Greek lunch. If I asked, "can I have a gyro, please?" The seller would yell at me, "Yeero!" That old man was so proud of his Greek heritage, he'd correct anybody's pronunciation. (Of course, I ordered "yeero" after that.) I wanted to visit Greece someday, but sadly I haven't been yet. One of these days...
  • @Nickerer
    This dude makes the best architectural and historical videos
  • @JeaNz0r
    As a Greek im very surprised , i barely knew anything mentioned in this video! Maybe because i didn't liked history back in school.. I had to grow up to appreciate my country and learn the history!
  • @MilutinMujovic
    I've visited Athens a few months ago, and was amazed of how beautiful it was. You did an outstanding job of highlighting so many great things it has to offer!
  • @ELMS
    That was terrific, Manuel. There isn’t any other place on YouTube where I can get this information and these recreations. Thank you.
  • @omegaroyal
    I seriously love your videos. So much work must go into them and it shows. Giving me wonderlust.
  • @user-iu4mu3bv5v
    Thank you so much. I just visited Athens for the first time recently and saw most of the ancient sites you mention, but your commentary was very interesting. I only wish I’d watched it BEFORE I went to Athens! Thanks again!
  • @josephj6521
    Fantastic video. I look forward even more to visiting Athens soon.
  • This was well crafted content. Just the right length and depth. The panoramic shots were beautiful. Subscribed!
