I'm in St Anne's a North West England costal town and I've just bought a Skiathos tourist t shirt new from the charity shop......lol!
Travelling is the only thing we wana do in our life. We really wana be able to go out there and explore the beauty and majic of nature,living the moments and experiences, making good friends.We can all agree this video has inspired us so thanks for making this video!!!
I have been a dedicated follower of your for years. My favourite videos are probably Greece, and my favourite parts are the beaches you visit. Thanks. They are great.
As Greek I can tell you the dish price in the end of the video was 100% tourist price, my man...that was expensive for a dish
🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷 is a paradise haven for those who want to visit...
The sea weather in Greece can vary considerably during the summer months, and not all beaches are calm. The best beaches for swimming are usually the ones facing south and in some way protected, as the Aegean is usually agitated by north winds this time of year.
Awesome, i love Skiathos and Skopelos a lot :)
Oooo,RoseN it's a pleasure to see u here too!😎🙋
@@sorini.s138 pfai, da' mic e internetul asta...
@@RoseN-CJ daaa😄, o seară faină!
Im very happy to see you in Greece again Gabriel!!!
32 islands so far is very impressive... im sure very few greeks have managed to visit that many islands but still a long road to visit all the 200 haha
But...Gabe is gooood at traveling long roads...might i say...the BEST at it.
Hello Roger, in Greece there are around 180 to 220 inhabited islands , but for uninhabited islands it is between 8,000 to 17,000 ,Greece has much more more than 200 islands , have a nice day Roger , Hello from Monaco
Skiathos is definitely a beautiful island. Been there about 4 times. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Ive just got back from 2 weeks in Skiathos and saw you eating in skiathos town-didnt want to disturb you-its a beautiful place but very busy in august-think may or september is probably best time to visit-thanks for video
Great as always!!! Cheers from Greece
Your vlogs are awesome must be great living adventurous life👌👌🤘
Its the tourists that adopt the dogs and cats usually the sandinavians danish and english. I believe the dog shelter was started by a danish woman who married a greek. There is also cat shelter and feeding in the main town. Such a great idea as on crete the state of the street cats emaciated and ill is heart breaking
It baffles me why anyone would pay a couple of thousand bucks for a purebred when you could adopt a best friend for a few dollars! Besides purebreds are stupid.
Thank you Gabriel for this beautiful video! 😎🌊☀️ We really needed some peace and calm ❤🙏🤗 stay safe ❤
Greece is heaven on Earth.
Oh man. only 12 minutes? Better than nothing 😊. Always happy to see your videos no matter the length.
Beautiful coverage waiting more to see from this island.
So you have been in 32 Greek Islands. What are your Top 5 Islands ?
My favorite Greek Island that you have visited....Anafi. small and quiet and nice room you had. You are inspiring me to go to Greece someday. Thank you. Stay safe.
Enjoy!!!
I was waiting for this one 😀
Ciao.. Gabriel.. Superb Greece.. Fantastic.. Grazie mille 🍀
Another great video!! So glad I watched it, I will have to get a international ID now. Thank you so much!! I would have been out of luck without you!
I loved the sea view such an amazing place to travel🌟
Since you mentioned International drivers' license here's what happened to me. About 2 years ago in winter.. I made a weekend decision to fly to Greece (From California)...and departed on Monday. Wanted to visit Meteora (awesome as you showed in your video), Thermopylae (It sucks! There's no there there, totaly neglected), and anything interesting while doing my loop from Athens. (No beaches though, couldn't care less about beaches after living more than 10+ years 5 minutes from Florida beaches ;-)).
The car rental guy in Athens asked me for my International drivers' license... As I was ready to leave, since I did not have it .... he said that I can rent a car from them BUT:
1/ police can fine me Euro 1000+ AND 2/ I would be personally responsible should anything happen to the rented car ..
I did take a car after thinking it over for about 10 seconds (I knew I would probably never visit Greece again, so my only chance). Since I could not purchase car insurance from the place and I knew that my Visa credit card coverage would never accept any claim from me should anything happen to the car (because I did not comply with the Greek traffic requirements) I absolutely strictly followed all the Greek road rules/speed limits/etc. I just didn't want any attention from the police. I cannot tell you how many angry looks I got from the Greek drivers ;-) when I strictly complied with all speed limits!! But anyway, I made it without any scratch, interaction with police etc etc. So all ended well, and besides Athens & Meteora my "driving without IDL" will be something I will remember about Greece forever ... 😜
Gorgeous! Such a joy to see it with you! 🌊🌲🌊🌅🌊🌲🌊
I wonder if tbe jellyfish are an August seasonal thing... the Chesapeake Bay (Maryland & Virginia) has jellyfish every August, traditionally, same time as softshell crab season. 🦀😄
But at the Atlantic beaches nearby, like Ocean City' & Rehoboth, I don't remember ever dealing with jellyfish at all. 🌊🌊🏖️🌊🌊
In the NYC area, I notice lots of small white jelly fish in Jamaica Bay right now, this month. Never have seen any in the Atlantic beach waters nearby - Long Beach, Jones Beach, Far Rockaway, etc - until this year, when just last week we saw 2 small clear jellyfish while swimming the waves at Rockaway Beach.
Beautiful beautiful
Very good. I like very much your "Mediterranean Mix 6" intro for Greek videos. ;)
That kind of brown jellyfishes are very common in Greece on August, they look scary, but they are not harmful.
Once again it was a great video, thanks:)
Alright, good to know.
It's the small purple kind, that you should look out for.
I like that one particular Habour
Love it, thanks G
Thanks for your video
Gabe's probably the friendliest RUclipsr on RUclips
Hi Gabriel, The quest for the ultimate beach the first beach seems really quiet and out of the way location. So many beaches so little time.
Beatiful beaches wow i love that color of The water like in Thailand or Phillipines has Great beaches and clear water Nice places to visit to.
Lovely is island
God bless you and
your family
Best not to mess with the jellyfish, good call there!
Less than two weeks and headed to Athens for a 19 day cruise around the Mediterranean!
Great music at the start of the video.
I have been following you for a couple years. I am also in Greece right now if you come back to Athens, we should grab a drink!!!🇬🇷
in an island when the wind comes from the North you go to the southern beaches and when from the south you go to the northern beaches
love your swim videos
Gabriel I love your energy and enthusiasm for life. We all can learn from it. Any more plans for Italy or Poland?
Yes, lots more videos coming from Poland, after a few more Greece vids.
I seen a lot of Jelly fish once in Katakolo, near Olympia
There were literally hundreds and all in the harbour
This summer they seem to be everywhere,after a month long heatwave the sea got very warm and as result jellyfish came to the beaches and harbours
I love love love this channel 😍😍🤩🤩🤩
nice vid lovely beaches
Looks like a nice Island Gabriel 🌞 Im planing to go there next year✌😊 so its cool to watch your videos about it😊 have you been to Lefkas (Lefkada)? Also a nice small Island 👍
Have a nice weekend 🍻🌞
I haven't been to Lefkada yet, sounds like a nice one.
Nice looking area
Big Ups to Skiathos!
unfortunately the beaches on the north side of the island are almost always rough water. the best beach if probably banana beach which is down past koukanries beach at the bottom of the island it can be the party beech though in August as its the place to catch great sunset
Nice island
Hi Gabriel, there's a lot of particles in the sea due to the fires in Evia and they will take a while to clear up. Noticed them also in southern Evia myself.
That explains it.
20€ for a plate of food? They ripped you off! They had to be ashamed! They give Greece a bad name!
Hello Gabriel! Please, make a travel to Mount Athos (Halkidiki region)... It worths!
Just so you know Gabriel, the north side of the island has much rougher waters and more of a wild feeling compared to the southern calmer waters.
Big & Small Aselinos beach clever names 👍😂
I think you camera is leaking i got a little water on me when you went swimming.
Great vid as usual
Keepemcoming
First! Beautiful place!
Good God! Thanks for the info on the international permit. 2-3K would sink my trip, and then some.
In the UK you get an International Driving Permit from the Post Office. Probably true of other European countries as well.
Kriffi amos is my favourote beach of Skiathos !!!!
❤❤❤
Howdy.
9:17 perfection!!!
I love your vlogs but wish you would do France, Italy and British Isles more.
Those beaches look like paradise 👆🏼HEAVEN. Thank you Gabe for showing them!🙏
To clarify on driving: non-EU/EEA/CH nationals need an International Drivers Permit. This law has been on the books for a very long time. Whether the car rental agency asks for it or not, you still need it, if you get pulled over. However, the requirement was recently dropped for Americans, Canadians, Australians, Japanese, South Koreans, South Africans, and a couple other countries.
Yes I heard that recently, great news.
Nice, in a few hours i leave for Zakynthos :)))))))))))
Sweet, have a great time.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Just back, it was wonderfull, i think next year i'm going back.
Cool. It's a good place to go back to for sure.
Neverland please😉😊
Gabriel did you go to Kastellorizon yet ?
No, haven't been there yet but it's high on the list.
Are You go to Banana beach ?
An awesome view of Skiathos beaches! There is a jellyfish outbreak in many Greek beaches this summer possibly related to global warming. As far as I know the brown ones do not sting!
Keep up the amazing work, Gabriel!
But you can drive a quad 150cc with a car drivers license.
The back roads of Skiathos are perfect for quads and your aloud to drive everywhere.
👍
Greeceeeee
AAA = CAA in Canada to get international license.
Idk, maybe rough waters, waves bring out jelly fish
That creamy chicken looked nice. Was it tasty?
Yes indeed.
Gabe,. Do motorbikes get stolen?
Depends where you are, but pretty rare on Greek islands I'm sure.
I like the Greek videos the best for many reasons. I should start again to get my (heritage) citizenship. Delayed because of the pandemic and funds. Maybe I should become a content creator.😊Best wishes!! filoxenía always.
All the small debris in the sea is probably as a result of the bush fires and bits carried in the water.
That probably explains it.
best beach in skiathos is lalaria beach
The jellyfish are normal and tend to move with winds and current. I lived on skiathos for summer 1977. And yes the tentacles on these jellyfish do burn and sting. NOT climate change however!
another short video the sadness
CAA in Canada for international drivers license.
good enough :-) ........kallispera is good evening ......good afternoon is kallo apoyevma
Can you go to Afghanistan next?
You're kidding right? Afghanistan is hell on Earth now.
Only an idiot would go there. They love stupid tourists. Get kidnapped by the Taliban & held for ransom. Might even get your head chopped off. Good times😂
Haha good one.
👌👌 Philippines
It's a motor scooter not motorbike
The islands do have jelly fish and yes they sting.😭
If you were to compare your experience amongst the Sporades islands, which did you like the most. We were trying to figure out how much time to spend on each: skiathos, skopelos, alonissos. Any advice would be appreciated!
They're all nice but Skiathos was my favorite of the three.
I don' see how you would have to pay 2,000-3,000 Euros on a ticket if you don't have an International license. The Rental company should pay for renting it to you without one. Your a foreigner. You don't know the rules? But luckily you got out of it.
Did you manage to go to the blind dog for a drink?
Nope, didn't make it there.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos oh man you missed out. Such a cool place. Where you heading next?
They catch big dogs and put tbem in cages than let them being free run on the beech and find their own food. It makes no sense to me plus these dogs want to be set free. It also make not much sense that you walk to the beech and not ride your motor bike up to the water while pointing out its easier to ride a bike on these little island road paths than driving a car! I like your videos and comments.
First Edit: barely missed it.
Yep, second. But first didn't claim it, so it's yours.
Upwelling. You said it was windy. You don't need conspiracy theories to explain the water.
Yes, that explains the choppy water. Looks like it's generally windier on that side of the island and thus rougher seas. But it doesn't explain the jellyfish or particles. Apparently the particles are due to the wildfires.
