kind of come around they're not shy out here this freaking fish came and took a bite out of my scab literally bit me right in my fresh scab I couldn't believe it and I I didn't go in the water the rest of the day I only went up to like right before my knee but this beach is great otherwise I mean it's great if you don't have a scab but just letting you know if you have a scab be careful cover it put a Band-Aid on it my Fredo cappuccino it's espresso and frost milk and I asked for metrio which is medium sugar you can ask for a sketo which is no sugar um or gleo which is like sweet sweet it's perfect just enough sugar I like to swirl it around like that to get the um the espresso and the milk foam mixed together it's like the perfect coffee drink and thees gets the Greek coffee usually I've had the Greek coffee too which is good yeah let me try yours it's black coffee what makes it Greek is the the method in which they prepare it m that's good it's like a little stronger than most black coffees but it's got a diff a unique flavor to it ah yes that's s it's unfiltered so gorgeous there's so many beaches along here this is Golden Beach it's like on the other side of the other set of beaches that we were just at and there's also a super cute dog getting some sun this morning what's up buddy getting like salt spray wow so on the other side of that Hill is the beach we

is statues that you'll find around town it's a creton soldier from the ottoman period oh so Andres just did a quick Google search on this gentleman he was in fact a freedom fighter During the

to be a Catholic Church look at this Courtyard how beautiful wow wow that's so pretty [Music] wow look at this it was a monastery as well wow and what's crazy is that like this was a Catholic church and then you just saw I showed you also the Byzantine Church but then right across the way you have what used to be a hamam how much things have changed over time and and like you realize this Island used to be occupied by Ottomans and by the venetians at different points in history it's amazing to see how much of that is still preserved here so while you're walking through the Turkish quarter heading into the Jewish quarter and then into the venan Harbor there's such a mixture of things and that's what makes this place so beautiful and unique everything is now coexisting together but at different times things were changed based on who was ruling at that certain period wow and then you just have beautiful Courtyards like this where they have restaurants all right I lost on this I
