Experience the Real Greece | Exploring Samos Island
Beautiful island. Life seems peaceful and slow paced. Just the way I like it.
There are some Islands like this in Greece. Every one has its own style.
Avery distinct island where it is quiet and yet affordable with the best beaches in Greece is Alonissos. along with the other 2 islands in the group( Skiathos and Skopelos) have an unpresidented scenery beaches , where in one side of the island is tropical and the other side of the island is wild and rocky especially Alonissos.
Samos is the best place literally ever
My family is from Kokkari, Samos. I’m so glad you enjoyed your time there.🇬🇷
Great, it's a nice little town.
What a beautiful place! I can’t believe I had never heard of it before 😍
There are more things and places that you never heard and you gonna love for sure.

There are many places in Grece that are marvelous and these are not the fanous Islands where they are too crowded and not that special.
Milos, for instance, Skopelos and Alonisos as well. or Zakynthos at the other side.
Go go go Greece Gabe! You're such a great inspiration for my channel. Keep it up brother 😀
Bright & picture perfect for another beautiful place. I'm glue to your channel. I love Greece. I love Europe. Thank you very much for sharing. Really appreciate it & enjoy yourself.
I lived here during my childhood. My mom is from this island. Brought back so many memories watching you walk down streets I used to walk daily. Thanks man. And this video is excellent for people who want to explore less touristy places.
Greece got it going on!
try ikaria island is a hour far from samos and beside of ikaria is fournoi island and next patmos , lipsoi ,agathonisi, arkoi, marathi thats real greece and not so commercial if you dont,try next time when you ll be in greece, i believe after traveling around the globe that you have special love for greece.. and please think about travel in the mainland .take care
ANTONI KENT Ikaria is the best!
Hello , as I said I am a Greece lover, Karlovassi is the less touristic place of Samos, but even beautiful, there are 3 in 1 Towns, new, old and middle Karlovassi, the most spectacular food me it was old Karlovassi, close to the is the famous Potami Beach and a little bit further is Mikro Zeitani and Megalo Zeitani. You must visit also the mountain villages as Manolates or Bourliotes, Platanos in the other side of the island. The north is drier and the south very windy and lush green. The most touristic Kokari and Pythagorio villages, but Vathy the Capital city is beautiful, and surrounded by amazing beaches, one of my preference is Mourtia, and you can visit also de Monastery up there. So many places to visit in that wonderful island, and don't forget to try the famous Samian white wine! ( vin doux du Samos). Enjoy it!
Thanks for the info Francisco. I did indeed visit Manolates: ruclips.net/video/sh0N4403H6Y/видео.html
And also explored around Ormos: ruclips.net/video/TnMHemqKWt4/видео.html

spectacular scenery the red tile roofs the blue Sea this must be the cutest Greek island I have ever seen (been) Blown away. Kokkari !
I am thankful for RUclips and for Gabriel Traveler. Stay safe brother
Samos has great mountain villages, like Manolates, and the best sweet wine in Greece!
Manolates was really nice, that will be the next video.
Gabriel Traveler Have you been to Turkey? It's near Vathi, but I don't know if there is a ferry for Kusadashi.
There is!
Glad u area Samos ! Consider little Ikaria just next door , apparently people on they island have the longest lifespan of anyone in the world.
Also as suggested by others Rhodes , the old city will be right up your alley - thanks again
HI Gabriel, This Stamos is definitely a gem away from the touristy mainstay islands like Santorini. It's just a different vibe.
Samos*
Beautiful Gabe, I have missed seeing your travels. Looking good buddy. Michele and I can sit and catch up with some of your travels.. We have a down few weeks planned. All the best buddy.
Cool man, thanks.
Enjoying your Greece vids Gabriel. If you want to see the real Greece go visit the Mani Peninsula in the southern Peloponnese. In particular West Mani. Wild, unspoilt and simply beautiful.
Sounds amazing. I've been to the Peloponnese a couple times, not sure if I went to that area.
It is. My parents are from there. It's about 45 minutes drive further south from Kalamata. Do yourself a favour next summer 🙂
Your videos are so inspiring! Very relaxing to watch as well. Greetings from Colorado
Loving all these Greek videos Gabriel. How much longer do you plan to stay in Greece?
Not sure but at least a couple more weeks I reckon.
Oh nice village,so perfect to pass a couple of weeks. I like the atmosphere,really nice . Thank you man 👍👍👏🏻👏🏻⭐️⭐️🥂🥂
Looks like a chill island :)
My thoughts are with the people of Samos during this earthquake tragedy. 🙏
Samos is such a beautiful island (especially if you avoid Karlovasi :-)). Enjoy it.
Ah haha you looked well chuffed with the little town/village you are staying in and rightly so, it looks beautiful there. I haven’t seen any videos in Samos before so I’m really excited to see it through your eyes.
I'm going to study in that first city from September , I don't know if I'm excited or not about the life of an island
really enjoyed with your video. Pls upload more vidoe of Samos...:)
That’s a great title for the Video today 👍. I always like an off the map place or not as popular place
I love your off the beaten track trips
Loved that amazing footage (and music) from the bus! These are my fave RUclips travel videos! Safe travels, Gabriel!
Zaljubljena v otok Samos. Tu so prvinske energije...vedno se vračam....priporočam vsem,ki ljubite mir in pristno naravo.Dijana Matjan poznavalka dusnih zapisov.
Nice! The home of the legendary Pythagoras... it looks quite green and fertile, even after the summer, much more so than Anafi and Santorini anyway. Definately planning to visit
How would you rate the beaches in comparison to other isalnds?
oh man! that first 3mins! I used to take that shortcut all the time!
No way, cool.
Although it is off of the beaten trail, it does look like a good place to visit.

Go Gabe! I watched this after walking to the bus station in Belgium. Doing some city hopping.
Nice, have fun.
Wow, our Greek restaurant on Jackson Street in San Francisco is Kokkari too. Went there when I was on an expense account. Village must not be as high end.
The best youtuber in the best country!!
Two years later earthquake, thks for the memories, poor people
Hey Gabe Samos looks pretty interesting can't wait for more content
5:55 in the SMILE AND THE THICKNESS In them jeans ….splendid!
Hello Gabe, greetings from PR friend. Planning a trip to some of the islands on 2019, thanks for the great videos. I see them every couple of days and need to say it is always fun. Keep it up amigo :)
Excellent, sounds good. Hope you're doing great David.
Thanks Gabriel! Another spectacular video 😊❤
It's funny listening to australia accent trying to say Greek words 🤣🤣
Are you going to come to Rhodes island at any point because I've been working in lindos for the whole summer and has amazing views, lots to explore on the island like hidden forts, amazing beaches and a few castle/acropolis on the island.
Defo worth the visit
No plans to go to Rhodes this trip, I've been there once before.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos no worries, Samos looks amazing, have you been to Corfu or Zakinthos yet, if not what island would be your favourite so far
luke stokoe He was in Corfu last year .
Yeah I haven't been to Zakynthos yet, but have been to Corfu twice including last year:

Gabriel please visit the Canary Islands one day! If you enjoyed the islander people, beaches, blue sea and food you can find all that here and you can visit the highest volcano in Europe! That means you can enjoy a mountain landscape and in 15 min arrive to the beach!
I visited there two years ago, they're amazing. Here are my videos: ruclips.net/video/8EOZAwJKzI0/видео.html
Have you ever considered renting a bicycle?
You could cover more land and fantastic video footage.
I was there in n June You spoke to my friend Miriam at the restaurant they have amazing food and great prices. if you see her please say hello from Nancy and Adam from Australia. you stayed near the hotel I stayed it's called Hotel Cattleya if you see Renee the owner and Katerina they are awesome. It's straight across from Kamelia a few metres further up the hill. Love kokkari the prettiest town we have stayed.
Sweet.
hi, Gabriel have you ever visit Pakistan?? i'll be your best host if you'll visit here . i live in Lahore and it is famous for its old history and food . i am your regular follower . and Northern areas of Pakistan just amazing , plz plan to visit here.
Great video. I assume you can see the coast of mainland Turkey from parts of the island.
Yes, it's very close.
I love the videos. I thought Gabe said that this would be more of a vacation.
true gaby peo should travel like u . . . . all aspects of the places
Will you advise in expensive area to stay with bus not too far away near to the beach. Any Uber around? Or how to call taxi?
we got some bad weather with heavy winds in the last few days here in Greece.
Yep, my ferry today was cancelled.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos I am sorry that caused you inconvenience from Monday good and sunny weather will resume
hope you visit birthplace of Pythagoras, another watch awesome for us , i thought you will be taking it easy ... more the merrier :))
Yesterday I hiked to the cave where he gave his teachings.
Gabriel Traveler, pythagorion has a monument or small ruins
Go Gabriel !!!
Very nice video again.
Love the videos Gabriel!
12:30 She has to be Dutch, no doubt!
Lovely spot.
really amazing.
I nearly sure the woman at the restaurant was Dutch. If you go by with your friend from Holland, get her to ask. Probably working for the summer. Would love to be there
You might be right about that. I'm not in Kokkari anymore. I did go back and have lunch there though.
Gabriel Traveler Yes, she said "Hello, good afternoon" in Dutch. She probably thought you were Dutch Gabriel!
+AmetReloads
I am Greek, having lived in the NL for good 8 years. The blonde girl for sure has some association with the NL. You can hear it in her English accent and you can notice it at her typical dutch body posture when she was giving directions to Gabriel. She also had authentic greek accent when she corrected Gabriel's accent for Kamelia. She looks greek and/or dutch and she sounds greek and/or dutch. She must be dutch with greek origin or the other way round. I think the first is more likely.....What a mystery!
@@TiesK Where does she say "Hello, good afternoon" in Dutch? I didn't hear it at all. And I listened carefully at what she was saying (I also know some Dutch and the accent of the language). She was definitely Greek. Also, if she was Dutch, especially coming in Greece only for the summer, her Greek, including her accent, would not possibly be perfect, as in this case. Her Greek would be 100% broken due to phonological differences between Greek and Dutch. She spoke perfect Greek like a local, as she probably is. If she's not, then she's from Athens. Last but not least, her relatively deep voice might be attributed to the fact that she's a smoker.
The Turning Point at 12:21 she said "hai, goeiemiddag" (Dutch for "Hello, goodafternoon") with no accent at all. Because I wasn't sure if she actually said that or if I just imagined it I listened twice and am certain. Interesting that she has no accent for both languages, probably has a history with both countries!
Given its so close to Turkey what are the main cultural influences on this Island ?
Greek
Turkey? Alikarnassos, Efesos, Smyrni, Pergamos, Ankara, Konstantinopole hahahaha
The coast opposite was inhabited at 85-90% by Greeks up to the Greek-Turkish war of the 1920s. During Ottoman times Greeks lived mainly at the opposite Aegean coast of Asia Minor. Especially the middle part opposite Samos. It was very Greek in culture. After 20s, with exchange of populations, 1.5 million Greeks left those areas and Turks went there.
The area in the beginning of the video looked kind of desolate and I was wondering why you wanted to go to this island. Where you ended up looks lovely. 👍
Α lot of buildings in Kokkari destroyed from the earthquake..kokkari doesn't look like old days..
Gab, can you please share the name of your hotel and this beach front place? I wanna visit it looks amazing :) Thx for sharing.
Your my favorite utube channel
Hey there
Gabe, i’ve notice when you speaks to local people in town or village you seems like in a hurry!
In this case, yes.....because I have a heavy backpack on my back and am focused on getting to where I'm going.
im guessing the next videos will be more cloudy
Your brave asking a group of teenagers for directions
I know, they looked pretty dangerous.
Why? It's not unusual. (In Greece)
The land of my grandpa Pitagóras
Great video
Gabriel have you thought about getting dual citizenship?
I'm a dual American/Canadian actually.
Who needs Athens with all the graffiti and crowds when there are beauties like Samos? I would much rather get lost there than in a well known tourist trap.
Hi Gabriel. I woukd like to know why you love greece
hey ithink ... saw a beach on 9:50
Can you camp on the beaches over there? I'm in SoCal, can't do it here.
Yes but not just anywhere. You need to know which islands to go to and which beaches are good for camping. So it takes some research.
Are you going to Chios after Samos?
My last name is Samos and I can find no other reference but this island...
Interesting, are you Greek?
How does the economy look like over there?
nice
l love you MAN ☺
Off to Tenerife in 2 weeks gabe,any advice mate?
Sweet. Try to do the hike up Mt. Teide volcano if you can. I was supposed to do it myself on the last day but the tour was cancelled because of the weather. Have an epic time, the Canaries are amazing.
Man, have you survived the storm in Greece, everything ok with you?
Yes I'm fine, the storms weren't bad in this part of the islands, just some clouds and a little rain. I'm now on Patmos. New video from Samos coming soon.
Second 😍❤
:)
@@-A.D.- oh yes.. Glad you figured it out 😊
without companion how do you manage such long tours
Solo travel is the best. No confusion, no disagreements....plan it your way.
Hahaha ,oh yes
12:40 is a Dutch woman, I recognize the accent
You should go to El Salvador 🇸🇻 ❤️🤗🎊
Are you heading to Delos this time?
No, I was only in Mykonos for one night to change ferries and then went to Samos. I don't plan to go back to Mykonos.
That's it?? Only kokari village??🤔
We have 40 villages to explore!!😉
I went to some other places on Samos: ruclips.net/video/sh0N4403H6Y/видео.html
Gabe , must learn fluent Greek :)
Like Samos (spell check grrrr)
Home of Pythagoras.
That's right. I made another video there in which I went to the Pythagoras cave:
ruclips.net/video/TnMHemqKWt4/видео.html
12:32 I bet my money on that she is a Dutch girl You should go eat there with your dutch companion! She will confirm ;-)
the waitress you spoke with is my definition of a gypsy woman!! :)
You're way off
:-)
5:32 hot turkish girls
He is in Greece, the girls are Greek.
