but the burnout is real. plus, i'm going into battle. finding out what it was like for the crew of an ancient athenian warship. we are heading to athens to uncover greece's ancient treasures, and the more modern ones. this is bbc news. i'm lukwesa burak. for more than two millennia, the temple of the parthenon has been the headlines at 2: towering over what has become police in hong kong charge the bustling capital city of greece. protestors with batons and use dedicated to the goddess athena, it is the centrepiece

of the rocky acropolis hill. tear gas once again, a day after the government brought in emergency legislation banning and it is the country's the use of face masks most visited monument. it is coming in fairly indiscriminately, over the top. nestled at the bottom of its slopes, the police are over there. i mean, there is no the modern acropolis museum houses violent confrontation most of the artefacts found but this is the first sign of tactics to try in the area. and disperse the crowd today. writing in two sunday newspapers, including some of the famous borisjohnson urges the eu to show that it's willing to compromise with the uk on a brexit deal. parthenon frieze. a murder investigation is launched after three men are found dead at a property and this year, it celebrates in colchester in essex. pope francis denounces the fires its 10th anniversary. that have devastated large areas this museum replaced an older building that had become too small to house the sheer number of antiquities found on the hill. it's ten times the size, with a unique collection, and as you can see from the queues, it is rather popular. almost 15 million people have passed through the doors of the museum since it was opened a decade ago. hello.

i'm christa. i am angeliki. nice to meet you. good to meet you as well. let's go this way. and to mark the anniversary, a whole new section has just been opened to the public underneath the building. so what are we looking at here? this is part of the ancient city of athens, which is at the foot of the acropolis hill. it is actually a residential neighbourhood. there are houses of everyday people, workshops, bath, private and public buildings. we are excited that we can show this site to the visitors, because it is a very nice late roman and early byzantine site that is not usually uncovered to such a great extent in athens. this is quite important. the acropolis museum was built on top of this vast excavation site, a challenge for any good architect.

but a source of great pride for angeliki, who spent almost two decades here uncovering the homes of ancient athenians. i can see a tiled floor in the middle there. would that have been a room? this is the central courtyard of the house of a middle—class house. quite a big one, maybe 360 square metres. it's an open—air courtyard. ok, and looking at that, we can say that this is a wealthy person? definitely. this is a nice pavement. they could afford to make it a bit fancy. while archaeologists here have put down their shovels and brushes for good, there are enough forgotten treasures around greece to keep them in work. greece is like heaven for history geeks like me, and if you know where to look, there are artefacts around every corner.

i am driving to one of the most exciting ongoing excavation sites — about 1.5 hours outside athens. last year, greek archaeologists announced to the world that they had located the lost city of tenea, which until then had only existed on the pages of ancient texts. the city is believed to have been built by prisoners of the legendary trojan war, and this month the excavation continued. it is considered one of the 15 most important excavations worldwide. tenea is a city coming out of myth. oedipus was supposedly raised here. agamemnon brought trojan prisoners all the way from troy and established them here. so here we are excavating ancient

tenea, its cemeteries, its ancient roads, houses, and slowly by slowly comes to life. elayna leads the team uncovering the ancient city, believed to have housed some 10,000 people, and she is thrilled with their recent findings. this is the place for storage, and also for conservation and study. can i ask about this one here? this is a unique vase. this shape appears only in tenea, so they would put elements like herbs in here, and it was a vase for an important child burial which we found. this is totally unique all over greece. and here i would like to show you one of the skeletons from the burials we have found. this skeleton, in excellent condition, came from a hellenistic grave.

male, 25 years old. his teeth are in good shape. they are very good. so he was quite wealthy. we know that about him. he had good health and good food. back on the excavation site, an army of volunteers from all over the world are busy digging, sweeping, and carrying mountains of soil. unearthing objects from our distant past is hugely rewarding, or so i am told. so let's give it a go, and miriam is on hand to show me the ropes. so this is the spot to sift? yes. i will hand you these gloves, and then you will be on this side, i will be on this side, and this is our pile. so grab the scooper and dig in for a pile of dirt. it is like a lucky dip. exactly. hopefully we will find some treasure. i think that is pretty good.

put it down, pick it up and then we will go back and forth in this kind of motion. and i think we're ready. let's set it down, and then use your hands to spread everything around and look for ceramic pieces. so something like this... exactly! exactly, perfect. and you can see a bit of the decoration. yes. maybe a glaze. we would have to wash it to really see more detail. wow. i found an artefact! this site must be incredibly rich with different artefacts, because we literallyjust pulled this out. it is. there is pottery everywhere. they have found drainage pipes, ceramic drainage pipes, yeah. greatjob. yes, two!

one more? yes, sure, let's go for it. tourists and scholars will soon be able to explore the excavation site in a virtual museum through 3d animations. in the meantime, there's still some very practical work to do. less than 5% of tenea has been uncovered so far. digging up the past should keep archaeologists busy here for many decades to come. it'sjust the beginning. it will continue. without me, but i will always be here from somewhere looking at it. just casting an eye over, you know, making sure everyone‘s doing the right thing. definitely. still to come on the travel show... i get a taste of life in the galleys by rowing the only replica in the world of an ancient athenian warship.

i think i'm going to have very good abs after this. yes, yes. don't go away. while i was in athens, i really wanted to show you this place. it may be not at the top of every tourist‘s hit list, but it's really worth a visit. if you're a meat lover, then this is the place for you. for more than a century, this section of the city's central market has been supplying athenians with some of the finest cuts of fresh local meats. and if the sight of fresh beef loins gets your taste buds going, then this unassuming eatery is the place to get your fix. it's called epirus, and they specialise, unsurprisingly, in meat soups. this is our kitchen where we cook all of our soups. wow! this is the goat soup that needs

a long time to become tender and come out, ready to serve it. our goat soup. and the tripe soup, one of our most famous soups, very good for the stomach. this is the stomach of a cow, but people eat it a lot. epirus is popular with locals, but some celebrity chefs have also paid a visit. well, i've got anthony bourdain and jamie oliver here as fellow customers. so there must be something special about this place. my father was, he was one of the most famous chefs of greek traditional food. he gave me the chance to have all his recipes, so i keep going, and people feel like home here because, you know, we make them taste the greek recipes that — mums' and grandmas' recipes. you know, fantastic the junk food, fantastic the nouvelle cuisine,

but greek traditional food, is this one. fantastic. next up, for many of us, the idea of being a travel vlogger sounds like a dream job. in fact, isn't itjust one long vacation? in the second episode of our series about travelling differently, we hear about the reality behind those exotic travel posts. travel feels like — sometimes it feels like the purpose for living. everything about travel makes me so happy and excited, and ifeel like i'm alive, and that is what life is about. i'm alana fickes, and i'm a travel vlogger. hi, guys! i'm in dubai, wearing a... wait, what is this called again? hijab. and a... abaya.

..abaya. i'm wearing a hijab and an abaya, and i'm going to go out and hang out, because when in rome, or, in this case, dubai... hello! welcome back to my vlog! today, i'm in santa monica. it's beautiful, and every moment by the beach is perfect. i have experienced a lot of preconceptions about what being a travel vlogger is, when i tell people that's what i do. there's a lot of shame around being an internet personality. i mean, people can think you're really shallow and narcissistic. they think they just want to see yourself all the time and want to just make videos about yourself. when in reality, the videos you're making — the content you're making — is about your audience. hi, guys! i'm here with asha... hey! ..at the holi festival! which is the indian new year celebration, and we're in los angeles, california. what? they celebrate it here, too. yeah, there are indians everywhere. all i want to do is travel, so if i can get to do that free or pay me to do it, wow, what a dream. but the reality is travel vlogging doesn't really make that much money for most people.

so you get creative and you make money through other avenues, or you partner with brands and you try to get more money through different specific things. a common way to make money is working with a brand, and brands will start reaching out to you once you have a certain amount of views or subscribers. they'll start reaching out to you and usually you get a lot of free stuff, which is fantastic, but free stuff doesn't pay your rent. this picture, ok, this is a love—hate picture. this was from a brand deal i did with a drink company, but i didn't get them to sign the contract that they were going to take my video no matter what before i went on this. and i went to this really cool place and it was such a fun day and the whole video was really about this drink, we're holding it in our hands in every shot, i brought it back to the brand and they said, that location is too religious, so we won't take it. and i didn't get paid. i'm like, you — you learn and you grow, i will

never do that again. hi, welcome to day two, day one official, in mexico. this is a really cool day because we are at the pyramids. a lot of spiritual people such as my dad have told me how there is all sorts of great energy here, and it is like an energy vortex. ancient places are like that, blah, blah, blah. i know it sounds kind of weird, but, i don't know, these things excite me. if you haven't been on youtube in a while, you may not have heard of youtuber burnout. but this is a huge thing that's been going on. when you're on a platform like youtube or instagram, even, there's an algorithm and you have to keep up. you have to post videos at least once a week, if you're good you are posting two a week, three a week, more than that. but if you miss a week, it changes the algorithm and your videos don't get seen as much. everything works against you and that's rough. nobody wants that, that's really scary. i mean, the burnout is real. in an extreme version, it really creates issues

with your whole family, and hopefully in a smaller version you just recognise that you're drained, your creativity isn't there, you're not finding new things to make videos about anymore, you're not excited about doing it anymore. you're not enjoying the process. and if you're not enjoying the process, when it comes to making videos that are about connecting with another person, the video isn't really connecting to another person. you need to take a moment. at this point, committing to my channel and putting everything on my channel and having it become my life, as it has to for you to run a proper channel, would make my relationships suffer. it would make a lot of aspects of my life suffer. so my system is to take breaks and my goal is to take shorter breaks. i mean, obviously there are difficulties, but it's still my dream. i love doing it.

to end the show this week, i've come a short distance outside of the athens city centre to the coast. and this place — it's what's become known as the ‘athens riviera'. there are plenty of cool cafes, ritzy new hotels and plenty of course, plenty of luxury yachts. moored close to the modern yachts, a different kind of ship is ready to go out to sea. the trireme olympias — the only life—sized replica in the world of the athenian battleships which dominated the naval wars from the fifth century bc until early christian times. this amazing looking galley belongs to the greek navy, and every year, groups of lucky people get to go aboard and actually row, just like ancient athenians did. this year, i'm one of those lucky people. so, i better get ready, i think it's going to be quite hard work. it took 20 years of passionate research to work out a design for this trireme, as no remains of the wooden boats could be found.

she was constructed here in greece in 1987. the important thing for the rowers of the boat, is that they were free citizens. it was a great honour to be a rowerfor trireme. and in such a small boat, we have so many people. they are the machine and they help the boat to move. i think it sounds like a fantastic lot of fun and hard work. yes. will you show me how to do it? yes, of course. wow! look at this. wow, this is amazing. this is the naval way to go down. definitely.

this ship carries two small sails, butjust like in ancient times, most of the propulsion comes from the 170 oarsmen staggered over three levels below deck. it's quite tight in here. as i told you. here we are going to fit in there. so, you sit in here. what's your technique? the technique must be like that. lift it up out of the water... one, two. pull. yes. wow! i think i'm going to have very good abs after this. i will give you the orders. yes, absolutely. thank you so much. you're welcome. well, my fellow rowers are starting to arrive. i've picked a plum spot, right in the middle of the action.

i'm ready for ramming speed.
