Visiting the Greek-Speaking Parts of Italy

Join me as I visit 2 different parts of southern Italy, where 2 different dialects of Greek are spoken. One is Griko, found in the Salento peninsula. The other is Greko, found in the southern part of Calabria, which is why it is sometimes known as “Calabrian Greek“. I did have some difficulties along the way. But it was still worth the effort to try and find out more about these rare languages, and see how much I can understand, given how they’re related to one of my native languages. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Griko Museum in Calimera- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Restaurants- Calimera Vesuvio 3 Ristorante Pizzeria Bova Al Borgo di Marcello Mafrica ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Where I stayed in Bova ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music- Italy, by Liborio Conti ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 00:00-03:19 Lecce to Calimera 03:19-08:59 Griko Museum 08:59-10:06 Dinner in Calimera 10:06-14:37 Salento to Calabria Odyssey 14:37-17:34 Bova house tour 17:34-21:13 Greco-Calabria Museum.. or not 21:13-22:35 Norman Castle 22:35-26:07 Walking Around Bova, then Dinner 26:07-27:38 Thanks for Watching
