I like some advise on my video

Shorten it and change up the background music. Most people will lose interest if too long and that repeating music loop detracts from the video.

How cool to be able to film The Acropolis! You chose a nice time of day with good light too. I liked seeing the city in the background as the drone circled. I think if it were me shooting there, I would have gone for a variety of shots. Maybe a nice reveal shot where the drone is climbing in altitude. A couple where the drone is flying toward The Acropolis and backing away. Then I'd intercut them with the long circling shot you have. That would give it some nice variety. I did love seeing all the historic ruins from the 360 view though. Nice smooth flying!

Acropolis of Athens

Great subject matter ! The video is good and as IShouldBeWorking commented your flying is extremely smooth. But, I've got to agree with Mossiback the video is a bit too long.

I'm just learning about post production so I'll leave those suggestions to the more experienced.

However, I believe I have an eye for composition. And you have great flying skills. I'd like to see you do a tight circle around the Greek Flag and then gradually widen the circle into a figure 8 around The Acropolis. Finish the figure 8 at the national flag using the sun to highlight the flag.

But all of the above is only my opinion.

Much more pleasant! Good job. One suggestion: get the link from your YouTube channel and post that instead of a URL. This will post a preview pic and clicking on it just opens the video without opening a new page.
