    This video is what brought me to the Spilia Aqueduct……we passed a very crowded Knossos and kept driving !!

    i was told Venetians bred pigeons for eggs, the holes are for nests. Some houses have them too.

    I have such a fascination with Greece and so glad to see you guys in the lesser known parts. Just casual peacocks running around LOL. Whenever I see you guys walking across Aqueducts I just think"man they're brave". I have such a fear of heights. Those ancient sites are so amazing but just the sheer scenery around them is worth the admission. Great video!

    Love the video! Those aqueducts looks so cool, and especially loved the reaction to the last one!!

    Looks amazing! Just wanted to thank you for your great videos. I am moving to Munich in a couple weeks and really appreciate you showing of so many interesting places to get excited about! Keep up the great work.

    Great video. Lived in Thessaloniki back in 2006 and got a chance to visit Chania but didn't get a change to see Knossos. I might have to make it a priority on my next trip back to Greece now!

    If the explanations I heard at Guedelon castle is anything to go by, the holes are what they used for sticking their bits of scaffolding in, to be able to keep building higher and higher.
