Shipwreck Beach was voted the world's best beach in 2018 in a poll of more than 1,000 travel professionals: www.greece-is.com/news/navagio-beach-voted-best-beach-for-2018-by-travel-publication/ What do you think is the best beach in the world? Two of my favorites are both on the island of Kauai, Hawaii: Secret Beach and Kalalau Beach.
Barra Da Lagoa Florianopolis, Brasil
I have been to the Maledives, Seychelles, Waikiki Oahu Hawaii, Santa Monica, but definitively the best beach in the world is E L A F O N I S I. Google it
Matira Beach, Bora Bora French Polynesia n Grace Bay Beach Turks n Caicos 2021 two of the best beaches by Travel n Leisure
if you ever decide to come to halkidiki or iceland again id really like to meet you such a great guy you seem to be gab
The best beaches I‘ve been to so far are the ones on the Seychelles, without a doubt. The best city beach: Ipanema in Rio de Janeiro.
Greece has the best looking beaches!! 😍🇬🇷
Are you sure about that?! It’s in the Caribbean, Mexico, French Polynesia, Fiji, SE Asia and so many more imo 😎
@@amaliahightower you have a point there 😉 honestly want to visit all of those places!
@@SarahandMarek yup you should! You’re money goes a long ways. Way cheaper than spending Euro.
@@amaliahightower that sounds great! We are currently in Europe now and things can really get expensive in some countries here 😅
@@SarahandMarek fyi if you want more subscribers you should try n go2 Philippines after this pandemic. Filipinos love foreigner vloggers promoting the country. Check out The Hungry Syrian Wanderer, Making it Happen, The Juicy Vlog, 8 miles from Home etc.
The Greek Islands are my favourite place in the Med!
Same!
Never seen such a bluish color of sea water from above, it's so lovely and clean and starting from edge of the beach it's so pale.
well in Greece other than the popular islands,you can find almost everywhere these type of cleaness and colour.greece has beauty especially in regard to its beaches.And it also combines perfectly the mountains,the say and the sky.Some people think greece is a summer destination but i would like to disagree.It has also beautiful mountains for skiing.beautiful mountains.
@@Sonasic That kind of clean bright blue is typical for the Ionian islands though, because of geological reasons (because of the white gravel). But of course there are other spectacular beaches with beautiful blue colors as well all over Greece and the Mediterranean.
@@curiousnomadic no there are fish there you cant just see this in the video.I have been there and there are fish under the crystal clear waters.
I've been to Europe twice in my life. I haven't been to Ireland, Spain, nor Portugal, and those are on my list. However, I think I now need to add Greece. I now understand why you love Greece so. Thank you Gabriel.
You must go to Portugal - Algarve - Lagos !!!
@@anastasijabeograd3903 Thank you Ms. Beograd.
I will be in Zakynthos in a week. We also did most of the islands and I am even looking to be an erasmus student in Greece next year. I can't even discribe how much I love that country, the people, the food. I would leave Belgium to live in Greece anytime.
Hey, can we change? Give me Belgium and I give you Greece!! Hahaha
@@enrico20957 hahaha, I guess you have never seen the Belgian coat. It's full of buildings, full of people, no nature, and exept for the summer, which can be extremely hot, it mostly rains, are you sure you still want to change? I must admit that Belgium, except for the coast is stunning, but I'll accept Greece.
It’s very very beautiful there, I have been to the shipwreck , Greece and a Greek islands are my favourite places in the world
Like my father use to say Greece is a piece of heaven on earth.
Or hell(as)
It's up there with Switzerland, for sure
@@stereomaster4231 I can agree that it's up there with Switzerland. However. Since I know Greece very well due to 40 travels about. Greece has 80% mountains with spectacular landscapes and mountainscapes. Only few people are aware of this drop-dead gorgeous side of Greece. The breathtaking mainland is unknown in many ways. On top of that 6000 breathtaking islands surround Greece's mainland of which you and most people are only aware of 20 of the islands by name. But who knows about the other 6000? Who knows about Symi, who knows about Astyphaleia, who knows about Skopelos, Who knows about Thassos? Who knows about Lemnos or Patmos and so on and so on and so on.
On top of all this Greece has the highest biodiversity in Europe and also the highest endemic species, meaning species that are only found in Greece. This has again to do with the incredibly complex geography, 80% mountains and 6000 islands around the mainland that creates a lot of isolation everywhere in Greece. 32% forests, 400 wetlands,delta's and water natural parks, which is yet another massive secret of Greece. And then 16.000 km of the most crystal clear coastlines, heavenly food, incredible culture, unparalleled history, 800 natural hotsprings which is one of the most in the world. Geological paradises and so on.
So Switzerland is a wonderful mountain destination. But Greece has wonderful mountains (80%), wonderful seas (16.000 km coastline), incredible history far surpassing that of Switzerland, incredible cuisine incomparable, vibrant and incredible culture, spectacular natures, waterworlds, wetlands, geological paradises, islands, and so on and so on, vastly outstripping Switzerland's amount of diversities by 100x. Greece is not for nothing called "the land of diversity"
If you only let Greece's mountains fight against Switzerland it will be a tough battle and maybe Switzerland may maybe win with only a small lead. But if you add all the many other beauties of Greece, then Greece is a country that stands in it's own league
It's true 💘
@@roselior7021 So true 👍 Bravo to you!
I live in Patras which is like 2 hours from Zakynthos and went on a day-trip to Navagio (Shipwreck) yesterday. It's so amazing that I live close to this island and I can just go there whenever I want and people come from the other side of the earth to check it out. Thanks for visiting Greece Gabriel!
These islands are great! The color of the water is magical
Woooow! That looks absolutely amazing! Makes me want to go back to Greece :)
This really takes me back to when I went to zakynthos in september 2020, beautiful people and places, I need to go back!
The colour of the water!? 😍
I'll never forget when I first saw this view that I much anticipated on my first solo trip in 2017, and it left me breathless.
Apparently Lefkada has even bluer water off it's west coast
🇬🇷 Greek islands are beautiful
Wow...the beautiful shades of sparkling blue sea... paradise. Great video Gabriel 🌟
Hello lucky Gabriel,
This video is amazing..I ve been there in 2016 and took a boat to the caves and the shipwreck beach, it was one of the holidays I ll never forget, beeing really as much " in love" with the Greek Islands, as you are.
I wish you happy days there with this wonderful water and your cool & sweet travelpartner. A really great company for you ! Waiting for more highly professional vlogs from Greece , especially now without mass tourism yet.
Best wishes from Paris 🖐🍀🌞

Hello, I don t have your email...
Such an amazing gorgeous country!! What beautiful pristine water. Thank you for letting us explore the world with you.
I wish i was there right now!
Went to the beach by boat around 30yrs ago & enjoyed a bbq. No tourists then & only got to know about it from an elderly gent in the bar a few nights earlier.
It's one of the very many absolutely stunning beaches & coves in Greece.
Those sheer drop off cliffs scare me but wow, being scared would be well worth seeing that spectacular view.
That was one beautiful beach! Amazing place indeed!👏
too bad you need a boat of access it
Gabriel the "world's best beaches" are at Lefkada, the island near you. Egremnoi, Porto Katsiki, Milos beach and a few others on the west side of the island. Similar to the Shipwreck but huge! (and you can actually drive there)
Hi Gabe,
My wife & I visited shipwreck beach in the late 90s & back then you had to jump off the boat & swim ashore!
I was shocked to find that the beach is actually made up of millions of tiny limestone spheres, not great with bare feet! Ouch!
It was a fantastic place to chill out for a couple of hours before swimming back to the boat!
Thanks for the memories!😊👍
0:35 same as Nusa Penida Island.. beautiful
What a beautiful place!
We are planning to visit in September, covid permitting. Can't wait!.
Wonderful video of Greece once again! I hope you have a wonderful trip!
If you’re able to make it to Kephalonia, since it’s close to Zakynthos, than go to Myrtos Beach, which is rated as Greece’s best Beach. Anyway, your videos are amazing.
Nice one, Ionian sea so beautiful...but you can find even more beatiful blue colors and beach near to you, on Kefalonia :) i remeber one year i spent some times talking with waiter in beach bar on Zante, Tsilivi and he told me that he will go to Kefalonia for his holiday :)) Living and working on such nice place like Zante, and still Kefalonia for holidays ;)
Food looks outstanding
I almost got vertigo looking you guys so close to the cliff 🤣
Omg, I thought I was the only one. Like be careful 😩😩
Nice video, thanks. Greece is beautiful 😍
Absolutely stunning! I thought Grand canyon was something but this...
It is the best beach in the world!!!!!! You should visit also Kefalonia and ithaki!! they are beautiful islands too!!!!!!!!!!
Magical
Love to see my daughter Ellen in your video's ♥️
This channel never fails to brighten my day while somehow simultaneously making me super jealous lol
Yes! Want to go back. Nothing like it anywhere. I traveled and stayed on Paxos. We took boat trips all around the area. Parked our boat and swam into the caves! It was at this time of the year also.
Spectacular. Ty for sharing for it brought back wonderful memories. 👍
I love you greece 🇸🇦🇬🇷❤
I really enjoy it when your traveling companions join you, it's nice to see you with some company once in a while :)
Im glad you made it alive it gave me vertigo just looking at you walking by the edge. Is amazingly beautiful
I've been to Navagio too, stunning, but I can't help but make my palms sweat when I watch the video! Also Porto Vromi, had a great time jumping off that ladder you see there on the "pier".
Wow! Wow! Wow! Wonderful! ! !
That water is so blue very beautiful.
Thanks for sharing
Real nice video Gab....enjoy your stay in Greece. Really no rush to leave these beautiful islands that's for sure!
Amazing beautiful color
It's really beautiful places.God bless you and your family
Great to see you Gabriel are enjoying the iconic beach we see in postcards and noticed that your hiking friend is still using 35 mm film camera 📷 that’s awesome 👏🏻
Beautiful work, beautiful island!!! Keep it up!!!! I'm also pretty jealous of what I'm seeing!!!!
Funny Greece, Slovenia and Croatia are some of your three favourite countries in Europe. They just happen to be mine as well !
Beautiful
I was there 3 years ago and they have tours that take you to the Navagio Beach and you stay there for 2 hours and swim and then they bring you back really nice
We planned to do that but ran out of time unfortunately. Next time.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Are you staying in Greece for a while?
Not sure yet, I'd say 1-3 weeks more. Considering various options.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Thank you Gabe for all the great adventures and stay safe
Really nice clean looking beach. Water must be warm too!!
you know you're traveling around a lot when you have to pause to think where you are currently 😄 This island looks absolutely amazing! It's on my list next time I visit Greece.
At 61years old if I could live my life again I would follow your path. Most people just trudge along with every day life. Enjoy every moment I'm so jealous 😃😃
Good vibes and good thinks
Shipwreck cove we have been there! Enjoy your travels nice to see again! 👍✌️🙏
And the donkey-zebra from TJ... unique !!! Nice to see you with such a nice company..love her!!!
The best beach I have found is at Paralia Xi on Cephalonia. It is long, quiet and shallow for a very long way out so it is perfect for families with young children.
The next time you go to Santorini you should visit Akrotiri. It is a whole city uncovered from the ash, just like ancient Pompeii, but it's 1,700 years older than the volcanic eruption of vesuvius. It's a really fascinating archeological site. The beautiful frescoes that they discovered there are in the National Acheological Museum of Athens.
Lovely scenery...really enjoying this series in Greece..hope to see more islands i'm not familiar with
No one actually knows where Donkey's were first domesticated, it is assumed Egypt or the region of Mesopotamia, though new evidence suggest that donkey's were domesticated in Greece since there is evidence that they were already in use in the Cycladic civilization as far back as 3200 B.C and fossils with cargo from around 6000 B.C were found on the island of Hydra .
Yes indeed Myrtos is a beatyful beach but it's not like shipwreck
Thanks for sharing, it brings back fond memories.
Good morning Gabriel my family and I LOVE to watch your videos on You-Tube your great we are from PAKISTAN thanks again for this beautiful video May God bless you.

Amazing scenery from a beautiful island. This last room was excellent value for only $37 per night.
Wow, those blue seas! Loved the vid!
Please don’t ever stand too close on the edge as there are loose sands, pebbles and so forth and that may cause a slip.
Yep lets save wildstock
from crash upon them from human that Gabe is
or else
I went to the Grand Canyon once and the park ranger there said that sometimes people fell down when they were posing for a picture and didn't look where they were standing.
@@Ozymandias1 Apparently there are more deaths there than are reported.😲
@@rocco... So true. We were only there for a short while, 20 minutes maybe, and we already saw some guy slip on the edge, and almost fall. It must happen a lot there.
Loads of deaths on that unofficial view point! August 2020 the police stopped us walking along that cliff.
New subscriber here. I really enjoyed the video!
I don’t think that was Italy you saw from the hilltop, most likely one of the other islands (maybe Kefalonia). I remember when I visited Zakinthos, the car radio would pick up random Italian stations, because of the country’s proximity and no land mass in between.
Kefalonia is north and very close. What I was seeing was straight west and much further away. Possible it was some distant clouds though.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos could be. I’ve heard that Italy can be seen from Corfu (on a very clear day). Anyway, enjoy your stay in Greece! I hope I’ll make it this summer. 🙏🏻
Wow d'best beach my friend i want to go there someday😊👍🏻 great sharing yO!🙌🏻👏🏻
so wonderful wievs! nice picturesque restaurant and beatiful beaches!
I am from Ukraine
@@rolandmaverick2593 the weater is very good :-)
sure, thank's )
unfortunately, I have no time for correspondence. have a good day)
Greece is wonderful.
It's so beautiful 😍 I want to go back and see more islands. I hope I get to go soon. Zakynthos looks amazing. I want to visit skopelos and skiathos too but now that I'm seeing these videos I can't decide 💕
Big problem also for us Greeks, but you can't get wrong with Skiathos and Skopelos. Another suggestion is Paxos & Antipaxos in the Ionian sea
All the islands are pretty with their own lovely beaches.
Amazing landscape. Reminds of of Nusa Penida, BALI
Woww,amazing view,thanks for all your vidéos,we are travelling with you.good trip👍👍👍👍👍
Living the dream Gabriel
Beautiful- can’t wait to go one day.
You're the man Gabe. Keep going.
Beautiful vlog :) beautiful country!
Gabe , you made me nervous standing on the cliff edges ! Luckily I saw the shipwreck from the comfort of a boat tour !
THE DREAM IS WELL AND TRULY ALIVE! LONG LIVE THE DREAM!
Zakynthos and lefkada are my favorite greek islands
Gabriel, I enjoy your videos so much. Thanks for taking us along.
There's no words good enough and Gabe knows when to not talk while showing us heaven!
Awesome Views
Gabriel, have you ever been to Sardinia? You'd love it. Epic scenery, ancient history, amazing hiking, stunning beaches and the bluest sea you've ever seen!
I have been to Sardinia twice! Love it! Golfo do orosei, la Maddalena island
I've been There in 2019 and it was amazing
That's where I most want to go in Europe right now.
Expensive though from what I've heard
@@Seijuro047 camping
Im going here in a few weeks!! This makes me more exited😍
Epic Gabriel, very nicely captured
That cliff freaked me out in a good way!
Just, so wonderful places 💙💙
Gorgeous Gabe! I want to say thanks ,the conv in the car was hilarious. Absolutely living life the way it shoud be lived.
Horses are native to North America, yeah, they brought horses too
Really nice
in turkey they we have same ones and i think you should also check kefalonia locals paradise! very similar toooo
Absolutely beautiful Gabriel 😎🙌☀️💯
You are a lucky man.( 10.35) was my main destination for a trip to zakynthos(dream to make a photo there) unfortunatly A month ago, someone was standing. On guard, no one should take pictures of themselves over the precipice because it was too dangerous. Only photos could be taken from the viewpoint. Unfortunately, I also couldn't be on the navagio beach because of too big waves and the boat I was sailing was too big to anchor at the shore. People who used small boats came straight to the beach. What a beautiful island
Wonderful island
The Polish lady at 9:30. You should have asked for an interview. I bet she had much insight into the place since she was a resident.
The astonishing beach seen made you forgot where are you at gabriel, funny moment 😂
I would love to visit Zakinthos Greece 🇬🇷💙
Breathtaking scenery! Greetings from a cold Argentina!
