A heartwarming social media video that chronicles an 89-year-old American granddad’s first trip to Greece, the country where his parents were born and from where they emigrated to the U.S., has moved audiences across the Internet.
The TikTok post recounts, through a series of warmly lit videos, what user @AnnaMG24’s ‘papou’ (what she affectionately calls her grandfather in Greek), got up to on his incredible trip.
The man appeared to be overwhelmed with emotions ranging from pride to delight as he was captured walking along Greece’s cobbled pavements with his walking stick in tow.
The viral video shows the man driving through the Greek countryside against the sunset, visiting the country’s famous historical sites, strolling on islands, and enjoying shots of Greece’s best-known alcoholic drink, ouzo.
