The beginning of a long and amazing voyage across Greece, a dream come true. From Sarande, Albania, I caught a mid day ferry to the port town of Corfu of the island of the same name, Corfu, my first island. The first few hours of my arrival was spent walking around the former Venetian town and old fortress. Due to budget reasons and the fact that high season just started, cheap accommodation was only found in the north of the island near the town of Sidari.
After hitchhiking much of the Balkans, I figured why not try hitchhiking the island. I found myself catching rides over to Palaiokastritsa, a beautiful beach area with a small fortress. After a nice swim, I made it over to a local cliffside bar to jump from before making it back to Sidari's Canal d'amor to catch the sunset and take in the fact that I made it. :)
After a successful acceptance to stay with a couchsurfing host on Paxos island, I made my way down to my next island. Paxos is one of my favorite islands as it's the perfect place to slow down time and simply relax. I spent most of my time in the port Gaios, Loggos, and the sea town in the north Lakka. I also managed to take the short boat ride down to Voutoumi beach on Antipaxos, one of the most beautiful beaches I've ever swam in, cave hopping and soaking under the Ionian sun.
These island are the most perfect start to an amazinf two months in my dream country. From here, continues my voyage across north east Greece. :) Cheers

Thank you for this awesome comment was an absolute pleasure and blessing to spend those 2 months in Greece. Hope you're well during this pandemic. Stay safe and "distant" :)

Vídeo de la cárcel de mercede
Eu am ajuns la 50 de ani si pot sa spun ca am muncit toata viata. Nu am reusit sa calatoresc cu avionul intr-o vacanta pana acum din cauza saraciei extreme. Si avand in vedere ca am intrat in datorii foarte mari (credit ipotecar pentru un apartament la bloc si credit pentru nevoi personale pentru a supravietui) mai am de platit tot venitul lunar pana la 64 de ani (oare mai traiesc pana atunci?) Deci nici viitorul nu suna bine, deci nici nu am dreptul sa visez ca as putea calatori cu avionul intr-o vacanta!!! Cu siguranta intr-o alta viata voi indeplini dorinta de a calatori o data pe an si sa ma bucur de roadele muncii si de viata!!! Dumnezeu ajuta!!!
I love the narrative your story
your passion and the appreciation of your accomplishment your visit to Greece. Beautiful vlog. Your videos are truly authentic and inspiring 😁
Thank you so much :D
Anthony Perez 😁👍
You are welcome !
Corfu is my hometown =) Glad you enjoyed it. Corfu Town is a wonder of the Ionian.
Juggertrout89 Thanks brother. The four islands in the Ionian Sea that I had seen in Greece are certainly gems. All beautiful as hell. 😊 cheers man
Anthony Perez when I visited west Greece (Ionians islands) everything was so same with Italy especially with Corfu town,
Greek is known to have many Italian words but west Greeks use much more Italian words
I was impressed
+Vag. gio yes. Even simply the architecture is amazing! It's like that all the way up the Ionian Adriatic coasts of Albania montenegro Croatia Slovenia. Ugh now I wanna go back :)
me and my family are going to Moratika in September while we are there we need to go to paleokastritsa and take them to see the beautiful water of paxos and antipaxos where my boyfriend at the time swam in there , he then became my fiance as he proposed in Kavos in 1987 we married 1988 and are now returning to Corfu after 30years
for him to now swim with our daughter , thank you for your video I am so glad you enjoyed greece yr a lovely American man xx
+Gary Wolverson that's incredible. And you will see what has and hasn't changed in those thirty years. Especially your very own perspective and what you've experienced in those 30 years. There's nothing like returning to a place as a new person. :) enjoy

I love your film.
Thank you!!
Great video!!! Make me wanna go back there! Have fun in NZ and think of us, Shira & Assaf :)
shirtsa hey Shira! I owe it to you guys for recommending Paxos to me. You're the best. Until we meet again. :)
Great video man. I was considering visiting Corfu and now I definitely have to!
Thanks my friend. Corfu was my first of many stops in Greece and although it was packed with tourist, it's a beautiful island. And I only saw the upper portion of the island. :D Hope you can make it here!
Anthony Perez were you able to ride a ferry from Corfu straight to Paxos and from Paxos back to Greece (directly east of the island)?
Yes. So what I did was, I caught the dolphin ferry from Corfu to Gaios (Paxos port)...then caught the slow ferry with the cars to Igoumenitsa, the main port of that region of Greece. Oddly, the ferries in July weren't so frequent per day so I can imagine how much worse they are in winter.
Anthony Perez Right on! Thanks for the info!
Anytime brotha!
your videos are so good!
+Jorge Dominguez thanks brother! :)
you inspire me thank you!
Thank you so much. I’m going to paxos in summer and you have made me even more excited!! Also Antipaxos looks amazing. If you were to ever invest in a drone I think it would make you travel Vlogs even more incredible. Maybe the DJI spark because it’s quite small. Anyway thanks!
Would love to have one! Just very expensive :(
Anthony Perez aha ok !
Thank u for sharing beautiful videos, Aloha from Hawaii.
Thank you for watching! Aloha! Which island are you on? I am looking forward to returning after I leave New Zealand!
Farooq S

💙🇬🇷💙 hope you enjoyed your stay! I will do the same in 10days 😆👍🤣
+Leo nidas best memories yet:) enjoy your trip
Great vid..like Greece nowhere..:)
What a great travel guide you made there! My girlfriend and i want to take that exact trip. For how long did you stay in Greece?
Thank you man! you will love it! I spend about 2 months in Greece. I was as west as Corfu Paxos and Zakynthos. As north as Ioannina and Thessaloniki. South, Crete and the Cycladic islands. I went almost everywhere but still have so much to see :)
Greetings from Australia! I am so glad you went man, Greece is a spectacular and diverse country. Where are you from?
+Christopher Alex Pavlidis-Garkinis absolutely bro! Unique on a worldly scale! Would kill to go back and explore more! I'm from New York and family is from Puerto Rico and Dominican Republic!
Anthony Perez Cool. Btw We spoke on FB also 😂
which greek Island did you like the most? Which was the most beautiful island (best beaches and nature)
Hard to say. They all offer something unique :)
7:37 I'm in LOVE 💛Greece💛 اليونــان 💛
I was there in 1974. It felt like home! How amazing Paleokastritsa was! The ripe olives, the Milky Way, the pebbled beach, the ruins. So much more, but...one step at a time.
I was also ur 3000th subscriber :D

Amazing video :)
Which place have you been at 00:30 ?
Thank you :) That is Oia town on Santorini island :)
in case you thought it was wierd I am Gill wolverson I am using Gary's tablet lol xx
I love you videos. how come you only have 3.8 k subs ?
+dhcp1 rx Hey my friend! Not entirely sure. Maybe because I don't entirely follow the "trends" of your modern day RUclipsr and stay true to myself while trying some new things. Anyways, my channel has grown a lot and still is. I appreciate your kind words and support. I love travel and showcasing the world and why it's so incredible to utilize this one life to see and experience it all.
how id you get from paxos to corfu?
Nice video as for your awkward moment with that guy he just wanted to bum ya haha
Haha haha man it was super awkward.
You forgot the canal for lovers in Korfu and the Arch in Paxos or Antipaxos.
+BizzyLizzy the sights and to dos are endless :)
do you know where you can go horse riding on the beach?
Hey Malou :D I saw signs and of course that tour over in Sidari on Corfu island. It looked really cool especially during sunset
At which beach did you saw the sunset in Antipaxos?
I only went to Antipaxos during the day! The sunset was in Paxos ☺️
Just got back from these islands, Antipaxos beaches were great, Sidari beach was average better at Glyfada beach and Pelacas beach. I visited 8 islands and by far the best beaches were in Kythira , Chios and west side of Crete. Laganas beach on Zakynthos was dirty but better beaches were away from the tourist centres. Must invest in aqua shoes next time, so many beaches had pebbles instead of sand. And buy your own beach umbrella unless you want to pay 5-10 euro each time you visit the beach, so annoying
Haha believe me, I know how that all goes. Fortunately I managed very well. I guess I have true island feet as the rocks didn’t bother me at all! Aloha from Hawai’i 🌺🤙🏽
Oh and too add, not a day goes by in my travels where I don’t miss greece. So much I’ve done but so much more to enjoy! 🙏🏽
Visit Diapontia islands
Where are them cliffs you jumped off
+Ellis Harling It's near Palaiokastritsa. At La Grotta Lounge and pub
heyy whats the name of the beach in 3:30?
It's just a beach in Sidari. I beleive it's close to a footbridge on the edge of town. Google maps coordinates : 39°47'21.4"N 19°42'53.4"E
Which did you like better Albania or Greece?
Because i spent 5 days in Albania and 2 whole months in Greece, it's a bit unfair for Albania. However Albania really did surprise me at how BEAUTIFUL it was and how kind the people were. Enough for me to want to go back :)
Funny Americans. They are always so comical.
+Juuso Hämäläinen we are just a silly bunch 😬😁
Please....IN "ΕΥΧΑΡΙΣΤΏ"...."χ" is not "fh" but "hk"..
Do you speak Spanish? Greek is phonetically almost identical to Spanish (especially Spain's variety) and has the same exact vowel sounds. So, don't try too hard to pronounce Greek words; just use a Spanish accent, not an English one.
+Joe B I have spoken basic Greek with a Spanish accent. This was my first week in Greece so I had just started my two months voyage ;)
Joe B. Greek language has nothing in common with spoken or written Spanish. Just nothing.
U were in Graecia or Greek English in Shqi.peria Albanian.. east ur going in Anatolian Speak greece.. Shqiperian perian epirovit or Albanians are the old Grecce there.. Speak Shqip Or Albanian in Graecia Grecce ull see... there are 4 million Native Shqipetar in Graecia "Grecce" "Albanian".
law suit is coming up.. all of those names are Albanian. Shqip. Or old Grake. Old Greek "
Speak in spanishhhhhhhh, please
boring.
I’m sure there are other party vlogs of Corfu that might better suite you bro🤙🏼
