At 4:44 in the video I showed a map which I labeled the Greek Empire. This is actually a map of the Byzantine Empire. I considered whether to label it Byzantine or Greek, because the Byzantine Empire, also called the Eastern Roman Empire was essentially Greek culture. The point I was making was that Greek-speaking people were living in this part of the world for centuries before the Ottomans conquered the region. I decided not to try to clarify the difference between the Byzantine Empire and Greek civilization since that would have been a tangent and it's complicated. But the main point was to explain in a general sense why there was a Greek town there during the 20th century: because of the clash of the Greek and Ottoman civilizations in what is now modern-day Turkey.
Political issues doesn't meen that people are not able to live together over centuries, although we almost clearly know, that people in anatolia lived over thousands of years together. But history is written by the upper class politicians and emperor's. People in majority, 90 per cent, are still together in this region, and in every family group you will find at least one Greek and Turk, and at least a roman, they are all still living the Lykien life with Turkish connotation. Thank you for your discussion. I'm looking forward to learn more about turkey. Your trip is really interesting.
Although greek speaking, They considered themselves as Roman, the direct heir of the Roman Empire . It is much latter after the fall of the Constantinople 1453 than we started to call them Byzantin Empire inorder not to confuse with the Roman Empire after the collapsed of Rome and the seperation of the Roman Empire into 2 parts . Please be accurate in your description . But historically there is no Greek Empire! As most people will not read your comment , your version is misleading .
Of course it is your right to call it how you feel and understand the history but the right term is Easter roman empire or because of the capital of the empire was called before the establishment of the empire bizantium then the historians calls it Bizantin empire. Despite history being far from the truth, as it is written by the winners, I think there are pretty good reasons why the historian don't call it greek empire.
Dear Gabriel, I am an English teacher and I usually watch videos with my students to enhance learning. When I ask them who they want to see today they always want YOU! Can you imagine 6th graders shouting Your name loudly: “Gabriel! We want to see Gabriel”? Thank you for your videos. Whole classes are following you and learning not just English from you but through your hard work you show them the beauty of our wonderful world, too. Thank you. You are a wonderful, good and great example for children. They love you so much!
English teacher? Let them know that Bushwacking = Guerrilla warfare. Not a way to travel along trails. My students are taught correct English language.
Dave H Dear Dave, Yes, I am an English teacher. Thank you for teaching me this new word. The second meaning is what you are referring to. This is what I have found: “The term "bushwhacker" came into wide use during the American Civil War (1861-1865). ... In some areas, particularly the Appalachian regions of Tennessee and North Carolina, the term bushwhackers was used for Confederate partisans who attacked Union forces.” You see that is why we all love Gabriel because we always learn something new from hím or through him. I will teach this word in my American civilisation and history class. I love it how Gabriel discovers beaches even if he needs to “bushwhack” . The word originates from the Civil War but you can simply use it for hiking where there is no trail.
Bushwhacking has different meanings depending on the context. I didn't know about the Civil war origins myself. In general it just means hiking off trail. Michael Adrienne that's super cool to hear. Where are you teaching English?
Gabriel Traveler: I teach English in Budapest Hungary. You were here so close to us when you were in Serbia three weeks ago. You even walked close to the Hungarian border.
It still baffles me why anyone gives you a thumbs down on your videos. You have that uncanny way of making your viewers feel like they are right there beside you as your friend or pupil. 👨🎓👍
I’m enjoying watching on other Greek-Turkish history lesson thankful to my Greek grand-grandfather who had roots from Constantinople and came on a boat to Chania Crete after the 400 years of the Turkish invasion in Greece ..a 2003 Greek /America movie called ‘’A Touch of Spice’’ it shows how well Greeks and Turkish people lived so well together but the war divided friends and family apart ... enjoy your stay Gabriel
I wish we could live together again, like the old days. I really like greek culture, people and history. We are so similar. Greetings from Balıkesir/Turkey. From the shadows of Ida Mountains :)
It’s because when Muslims conquered lands, they were good to the people. The Muslim religious law is not to hurt or kill people and destroy anything. Muslims aren’t even allowed to destroy trees so you can understand that they would allow the people to live peacefully and get along well. Muslims respect everyone. It was nice to read your comment.
@@zarazara2577 only in your fantasy there is such a thing as an invading people, massacring the locals and usurping their land but being ultimately "good"! The Seljuk Turks militarily invaded and occupied the whole Anatolia - Asia Minor by sheer brute force, endless blood-shedding and usurping of the paradisiac Asia Minor lands! In Rennaissance Europe the term "Turk" signified an invader, a brute, ferocious individual.
@@ThomasGazis lol if anything you said that was true , then there will be no greek , serb , bulgarian , arabs , persians today. Becuase they were all conquered by turks.
@@wololoooxd3288 is this a sound argument? The entire Europe (almost) was conquered by the Nazi Germans! But there are still today French, Belgians, Russians etc...
I got to admit, I envy your lifestyle. I am in my basement doing boring billing invoicing and you are exploring ancient ruins in Turkey! Damn life isn't fair...
Gabriel, refreshing that you continue doing your magic on your travels. It's a pleasure spending time viewing your recordings. Life's tough at present with restrictions to the masses but you make it easier for the viewer to connect. Entertainment at it's very best. Keep safe, from N Wales. uk
Gabriel.... U really earned your video while walking on that terrible trail... I specially liked.... "Like I finally found civilization after like days in wilderness "
Loved the place and the story behind it. We really like your travel videos and unique style of vlogging. Your videos always do inspire us as travel vloggers. 🙂🙏
Wow gabriel your perseverance amazes me! Goal in sight...get to it anyway you can. I love how you ponder the old ruins sharing history. I try to envision who walked these paths in those days and what their lives were like. The beaches are beautiful and I didn't know there was such a place in Turkey. Ty for taking us with you!
Yay you are back! You are one of the gems of You Tube! Read your wifi nightmare story (which it can be for a humble traveller - let alone a nomad like yourself). Thank you for sharing what you can🙋♂️👍👏
WFH at my computer, stuck in rainy and cold London. Watching some of the best parts of my home country, Turkey, through your videos. I wish I was there!
I love how you find all these hidden gems. I'm so happy you're exploring more of Turkey, it's my favorite 2nd home🤗😍🇹🇷 You really can't go wrong in any region of Turkey it's such an enchanting beautiful country! güzel insanlarla büyüleyici ülke.💞 Seyahatlerinin tadını çıkar Gabe!✌
Thanks for continuing travelling and posting videos! And especially a warm thank you for doing it maskless (or at least not wearing it unnecessarily) 👍Well done!
Hi Gabe....great to see you trek down to the paradise beach...I swam there a few years back, beautiful but a bit busy with cool folks and sadly, buzzy with bees! The surface of the sea was covered in them, floating and desperate for water as streams and wells were dry. I heard that farmers had been encouraged to keep them, (saw hundreds of hives in the mountains nearby), but water was in short supply and bees drink water.....it made swimming amongst them interesting...Beautiful region though, looking forward to seeing you on the Lycian Way.
Thanks, Trevor. Interesting information about the bees. I love bees, and plant their favorite flowers on my property. About the water...I've noticed that they frequently drink water from around the edges of my bird bath.
Excellent. There is much more behind the abandonment of Levissi than a simple ‘population exchange’. It was an ethnic expulsion, which occurred at the end of the Greco-Turkish War (1919-1922), following a period of Turkish persecution of the Greek population during World War I. The most notorious of the expulsions was that at the major port of Smyrna/Izmir in the same region
I've read my-wi-fi- nightmare..I didn't know that the internet connection was so bad there, it is a nightmare, thanks for the important information... nice place man! 👍🙏
Hey I am American and I live in Istanbul. You helped inspire me to travel like 3-4 years ago. We have also crossed paths a few different times all around the world; Seattle, Thailand, India. Message me if you want an in-depth tour of Istanbul!
I might be mistaken but I think this abandoned village was the setting for the Louis de Bernieres novel ' Birds Without Wings'. I'm happy to be corrected if I'm wrong. The novel, although fictional gives an insight into population exchange and is a fascinating read.
Just when you're ready to explore a remote beach in the wilderness, you end up finding out that it is place full of tourists. Relief or disappointment?🤪💪👌
Have not watched yet but did you meet the "Roman" guy who shows you the last house? We were there a few weeks back, guy has some stories. Also had to buy the cactus apples from the old grandma by the alley.
Hey Gabriel, they respire a covid year within 72 hours of travel. Now airports like sfo have 15 minute tests that costs around $180 or you can get a Mail in do at home test that costs $80. Hey you can come back to California for a while then head to Hawaii
If you go 300 years back in history, there are no Americans, further go 1500 years there are no Britain's, far 3000 back in history there are no Germans, 5000 back on Chinese, but whereever and whenever you go back in history, there will always be turks.
Hi Gabriel, Your mode of transportation isn't a bad choice even though it isn't your choice you need a jeep or 4x4 to get around that mountain terrain. The beach almost struck me as an ashram community area a hideaway from the mainstream towns and other communities.
Hi Gabe! Great videos... just to correct you, around minute 5, it wasn't the greek empire, it was bisantium, the eastern roman empire, and Constantinopole got it's name from roman emperor Constantin, in I beleive the 3.th century, later it was called Bisant, and it was the main city for Roman empire. Greetings from Croatia!
Byzantine Empire, yes, which was essentially Greek. Too complicating to try to explain the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire and how it differed from the Roman Empire vs. Greek Empire. It's complicating and I'm no expert.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos you are absolutely right! The Byzantine empire was mainly Greek - and a little bit Armenian etc. There is a "movement" though lately with a strange "agenda", which is deliberately trying to change the name of the Greek-Byzantine empire, turning it into "the Eastern Roman Empire". The sole reason for doing this is to de-Grecisize Byzantium and ultimately turn it by propaganda into ROMAN! And of course this turns to be quite convenient to the Turkish authorities, who have been for decades now delibebrately calling every single Greek-Byzantine monument., church e.t.c. in Asia Minor (modern Turkey) ROMAN, so that they ultimately obliterate the millennia old presence of Greeks in Asia Minor. What they are trying to do is to artificially promote Turkey as a millennia old country with rich history, cultural heritage e.t.c. when actually none of it is true....
The tawn kayakoy named Makri.Noiw it exists near Athens and his name is Nea Makri.That means New Makri.I leave there.The tawn is famous for the ex base of Amerika in Greece
A blessed good day sir Gabe Wowwww what a nice place beautiful Country of Turkey nice spectacular nature and Medditarrenean Sea very stunning beach resorts of Oludinnez, and view breath taking scenery amazing !!

Man, I wonder how ancient people got water to those stone towns they built. That is dry country. Or maybe I am too adjusted to the Pacific northwest climate. That beach sure looks good after trekking through the countryside!
Bushwackin’ it for sure! I remember watching one of Angela Vlog’s videos (you turned me on to her) in Australia when she and a friend came upon a brown snake which she filmed and attempted to follow into the bush and someone commented that it was the 2nd deadliest snake in the world. So, yeah, if u don’t see any snakes I’m ok with that. R u sure u don’t ever get blisters wearing those sandals?
I just noticed that the USA embassy has issued possible terrorist warning for westerners in turkey. Being in close proximity to Syria does this give you any concerns?
Do you take out a special travel health insurance ? being that you're traveling all over the world so many countries Because of the coronavirus I see some countries are requiring that.
Here's the insurance I use. It covers Covid hospitalization, depending on the circumstances: www.worldnomads.com/?affiliate=Gtravel&subId=&affiliateTrackingId=865ad93577c34a26baf9b91f1cbc49a9&Gtravel&Affiliate&

I saw you're channel commenting avelovinit's or ave's blog and I tried to view your blog now...
As a fellow content creator (vlogs and video games). I have found that songs from Ooyy fit perfect in vids. Keep up the great work Gabriel!

From London Brixton UK. I like the music. The Turkish government should return this to its former glory.
Hey Gabriel thanks for the video! Hawaii is opening up. You love Hawaii!

Hey Gabriel, they respire a covid year within 72 hours of travel. Now airports like sfo have 15 minute tests that costs around $180 or you can get a Mail in do at home test that costs $80. Hey you can come back to California for a while then head to Hawaii
Never a dull moment for you dude ✋😎❣💖💞
Curious, based on your travels, if you had to choose one country/city you had to live in, what would it be?
Love Turkey, from Pakistan
Overcame internet issues, lack of roads, barbed wire, dusty hills to reach the beach 😎 Civilisation returns ... we can all relax now! 😀
When you talk about the history of Turkey, you should start with Persians, then Romans, then Greeks and then Ottoman Turks.

Its beautiful nature, but some places looks like from 90s in a negative way. If they want tourists they should invest some money in infrastructure.
But it is very cheap, thanks to erdogans mismanagement the Turkish lira has dropped like a stone
