There is a huge problem in Greece with fuel lacing (mixing it with inferior flamable liquids). This increases consumtion and destroys the engine (mainly the lambda sensors). Personally i use only 97-98 oct fuel (the mid grade) or above, simply because you can't even trust reputable gas stations, especially after the Ukraine-Russia war. The state (as usual) does next to nothing and you will never be compensated for any damages even if you have a receipt.
I'm an American and we're playing a trip to Greece this summer. We're renting a car and driving from Athens to Kalamata. Does anyone have any tips/suggestions/things to avoid? Thank you.
Hello Thank you for the video. looks like driving is like USA , but i see the steering wheel is on Right side. Do the rentals have Left side steering wheel vehicle. Thanks for the response
I thought you were going to speak to some Greeks in English! The reason to learn some Greek is that it is a great social lubricant, even if you just know the pleasantries. My experience is that Greeks will drop what they are doing and chat if you make some effort. And by chat, I mean buy you a coffee or a beer. The reason to go to Greece is Greeks! I just read Olga's comments and I went to Thessaloniki three years ago and got sick. My Greek neighbor hauled me to the public hospital and didn't leave my side until I got a room; η ελληνική φιλοξενία is a real thing! (The hospital aides hardly spoke a word of English.)
The only big problem is for dishonest mechanics because I could have complete maintenance myself, chain is not subjected to maintenance and miss fire is easy to fix replacing valves once per 100.000. And I have a 4 cylinder motor and not a Geran 2 motor.
Fun footage, but the question is why did these idiots stay outside watching this?!?!? They were hit by flying lawn chairs, which is how people die in these things! Very foolish!!👎
I clapped with the crowd when he mentioned Crystal river nuke plant decomissioned. And you know they were trying to replace an ageing turbine and had to cut through the containment wall, which then delaminated the containment vessel wall, rendering that one reactor useless. A scourge on northern central Florida gone for forever at last. The nuclear industry is nothing but a mass murder suicidal death cult.
FYI... the nuclear death cult will censor any and all videos on youtube, while throttling search engine traffic away from any other video upload sites.
Er hat mir nicht sicher bin zur Verfügung zu hören dass es ist nicht gestattet ist und ich habe mich zu zu RZ Pellets und ich habe die Mail von dir zu hören und verbleibe mit freundlichen Grüßen und ein schönes Wochenende und liebe Grüße und
Always enjoy watching and listening to your videos on Greece. My mums just bought a place in Kefallonia and I been thinking about driving. I’ve watched your previous videos on ferry crossing from Italy. Look forward to seeing many more vid’s. 😀
What u don't get is that all of what u mention is just government excuses. Cars are traditionally seen as tax collecting tools in Greece. Bigger/expensive cars are bought by richer citizens -> we found a fine way to make them pay some extra money. Plus it was always thought as an indirect way to reduce the national economy bleeding caused by the import of such expensive goods in such huge numbers
I think I would disagree with them. Vehicles are tools at the end of the day & I can't imagine making tools more expensive has ever been helpful to an economy.
@@dickjohnson6670 Almost everybody disagrees with them 😄😄 But again, your thinking applies to a healthy developed society. Here it is Balkans n additionally the southern part. Cars were mainly a mean of self assertion n social status indicator, than anything else. There were people literally starving for years just to be able to own a 316 BMW. In other words, government had that mindset just because a (very) big chunk of the population had that twisted thinking too.
@@gregorycarlson6632 Its very obvious. Straight line winds, no change in direction. Its a classic downburst/microburst or just a very very strong gust from a squall line
