Is This The Worst City In Greece? 

4:13 It is not burek. Its called Bugatsa and it a traditional northern Greek dish

Broke in the EU doesn't sound like much fun.

@chriseco7197 tbh the EU isnt much fun

Wow two rude ignorant souls

In Greece, it is against the law to give rides to people unless you have a license as a professional driver, taxi driver or travel agent. they are fined for this.

Καλά τα είπες 😅

Pff

Haha well put😂

It's like you watched every video we have made 🥲

@@HaleyandZach you came all the way to my city and other neighbouring countries and were clueless what to do... many vloggers have come here too they all found something to do... and yes, ive watched most your videos, you're welcome for those free views

@@HaleyandZachYou are aweful. Ioannina city is literally the most beautiful and graphic city in Greece.

Someone who thought the bus would drop us off near the city. Also why would you get foreign currency in another country when you get it way cheaper and easier from a local ATM?

@@HaleyandZachbecause not everywhere exists for your convenience, that's why

Lol, what a couple of idiots, most likely they were thrown off the bus from Albania because they probably told the same sad ass story about not having any money, they check into a prison cell style hotel for 30.00 dollars a night with 5-star expectations, lol, lol, lol, LMFAO. Walking around looking for Michelin Star restaurants with 3 Euro in their pockets to feed 2 people and complaining that it's too expensive and it's supposed to be cheaper. As dumb as they come and the type of begging travelers that Greece no longer has tolerance for, those days for budget travelling in Greece are long gone. I have a list of countries that would better fit your budget for your next trip, Guinea, Yemen, Burkina Faso, Mozambique, Mali, Burundi, Chad, South Sudan and Iraq which may be a bit too expensive for you. $100.00 US dollars should be enough for the both of you for an entire month and that's all inclusive, meals, drinks, souvenirs, lodging, daily massage for 2, transportation and even gratuities.

We wish we had time to see the gorge

Not the city's problem that you suck at planning trips lmao

I would really like to be constructive here , echoing some of the previous comments about not having any interest in the history or the beauty spots, but I doubt I will. Because of your lack of reading up b4 hand, you just trashed one of the most unique locations within Greece. No it's not full of whitewashed houses or the stereotypes you may be used to , but it is full of museums, history and natural beauty. Also if a Greek couple turned up in a Western country eg the USA, would bus drivers pity them and give them a free ride? I don't think so. U2 went 2 an impoverished country in the midst of an evil economic crisis and sanctions by the EU and freeloaded. Shame on u.

@@HaleyandZach glad you left quickly Ioannina does not need your types

Lots of rivers, and extreme sports in the mountains around Ioannina. If you like Paragliding, kayaking in beautiful rivers, and great food in Ioannina by the lake then yeah you should check it out. Also please go visit Meteora while you are there, its nearby and spectacular.

Ioannina seems like a lovely place to live and be a hometown. You are correct we showed up by accident!

Can’t please everyone. Americans… They came. They saw. They left! 😅

@@dadoots1551 Thank goodness they left

We are very dull

We found the best nightlife, total safety, ... the best and NO huge crowds. Hotel people were sooooo nice and hotel breakfast? Eat as much as you want for NO extra.

Well said.

Well said… basically just an illiterate running around.

McDonald's would have made it A+ for sure

@@HaleyandZach McPoison, as my cardiologist uncle would say

@@HaleyandZachI know it’s a joke but it has goodies which is probably better than mcdonalds

@@HaleyandZach Dont eat Mcdonalds man, you're gonna get sick.

Annoying, yeah, I get that. But how is this offensive?

@HaleyandZach 1) 2:44 2) 2:54 3) 3:36 4) 3:56 5) 6:04 6) 7:39 7) 8:16 8) And of course the preoccupied, biased and negative title of this video. Seriously of all the tourists visiting Greece and Ioannina you are the only ones saying these things without having even visited the most important places in the area. You come up with a negative criticism without having seen anything. And this of course has a negative effect on Greece's tourism with no serious reason at all. Opinions are welcome as long as they are based on facts and real exploration of a place. And you also didn't pay the bus. You were treated nicely by bus driver and yet your attitude....

@@dimitrioskazaglias Bro these toxic shit created that stupid channel , to go around mock and desrespect other countries ,thats their goal . Cant you see how sick and toxic they are .Thats the purpose of their channel .They try with that stupid way to get reactions and probable more views , but they fail cause they are dumb americans or should i say ameretards . Do you know what will piss them off ? if nobody views their channel . That is going to piss them off

At the end of the video I said our rating should not even count because we missed so much of what the city and surrounding area has to offer. Thank you for writing such a detailed comment :)

Exactly. They are a bad match and so they take it out on external places.

albania isnt one third hellenic greece lol are you dumb

Bougatsa is mmmmmmmmmmm. My wife fell in love with it.

orthodox is 4% of world religions

We know how racist and how hatefull your country is uneducated bitch

Slaves of Ali pasha 😂😂

everyone loves albania more than greece tbh

Thank you for teaching us :)

Yeah most of northern Greece is so boring and nothing like southern Greece (except for some cities like thessaloniki, Kavala, Ioannina etc)

​@@user-ub6fi6fe2n then stay in southern Greece 👍

not true. Epirus was the last region to fall to the ottomans while areas like the Aegean islands and thrace was much longer under ottoman rule. Epirus was much less affected culturally than most parts of Greece. The clock has Arabic because of the alphabet as you said and because it was obviously constructed during the ottoman era

@@Ezio2713 correct

greece was for millenium roman and then there was centuries of slavic invasions. You overestimate the turks in greece as most of the so called ottoman pashas were albanians

Ποιος σε ρώτησε και λες "ναι! Αγαπώ την Ελλάδα" Ξέρεις όμως ποιο είναι το θέμα του βίντεο;

Cringe. :)

@@michim49 I agree :)

add SPOILED

All Albanian cities and towns are worse than ioannina but in Greece only cities in the north are worse

It was our first day in the country and every other country in the region calls it burek. Thanks for letting us the know the Greek way of saying it :)

@@HaleyandZach there is no Bugatsa in other countries, it's a Greek pie, they don't have custard pie in turkey you should call it by its name

Mate if I knew it was called Bugatsa I would've called it that!

@@HaleyandZach Actually it should have said in the shop. 1000% certain. It's indeed Bougatsa

@@HaleyandZach ask the seller

We have a good grocery store video coming soon !

USA 🤪

​@@HaleyandZachstate?

Dumb and uneducated yanks.

Ioannina was an Albanian city before they murdered cham Albanians

@@Albanesegotti It was never an "Albanian" city.

@@vasiliyt8600 It was all Epirus was Albanian and native people spoke Albanian before you exchanged with anatolians Greeks

​@@Albanesegotti ​Epirus was *NEVER* "Albanian", but Greek. Greek was always the Language that was & is spoken in Epirus. The ancient Hellenic Religion was the only religion that the Epirotes followed, until their Christianization, in early middle ages. The Christian Church in whole Epirus was and is written & spoken in the Greek language, since the early middle ages to the modern times we live today. Ancient artefacts, ancient monuments, ancient graves, ancient manuscripts, during the early and later byzantine time period, all those historical places were written in Greek. Culture, music, tradition, money was & is the same with the rest of the Greek people. Even with the Greeks in Southern Italia (Magna Grecia) don't differ from them. Epirus was always mentioned as a Greek region. By ancient, classic and medieval Greek and foreign historians. All that is verified scientific knowledge by hundreds of renowned universities all over the globe, that have researched this region. Even today, most of northern Epirus (currently part of south Albania) is inhabited mostly by Greeks. The region where the racist Albanian government is currently *stealing* the property of the Greek Epirotes and keeping the Greek mayor illegally in custody. The racist Propaganda you are writing was created, *not long ago* ,by Ultranationalist Albanian politicians. If your country won't stop with that state racism, Albania won't be never be a part of the European Union. Mark my words. Racist propaganda has no place in Europe anymore.

@@vasiliyt8600 We dont want to be part of Europe im against that and epirotes where Albanians they where an illyrian tribe dont know where you get those lies in every old documents it says epirus, Albania even Skenderbeg called himself the king of Epirot and Albania so dont lie !

Sometimes it's fun to know nothing

We stood there for 20 mins trying to hitchhike into the city. Luckily the bus driver was very nice :)

Ioannina is not a bad city. What RU-vidrs say with no knowledge and experience about a place that's what should be condemned and not be praised about it...wtf

You got us good

Thanks :) I will never understand putting the QR codes as signs in the middle of a city

Albania is greece

And North Ipiros (Βόρεια Ήπειρος) is Greek ❤ 100%

HOW ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO KNOW IF YOU DONT GO?
