Gabriel, I think it is about time to learn how to speak Greek fluently, eh? That is how you would show your true love for that beautiful islands-nation and your Greek (new) compatriots would be ever so flattered, as well, I reckon.

These latest videos are so inspiring. Do what you love in life. Pure freedom. I'm also Greek but born in Canada and I love Greece. The food the people the lifestyle is unparalleled. The islands are gorgeous. There's a reason why Gabriel returns to Greece all the time. Another great video.
@@Kamo-ve6bw I live in Greece, but Greece is "heaven" only if you don't have to worry about money and be working 40h/week. (I guess that is true for most places)

Gabriel, this a Greek feast. It made me homesick. I love Greek sea food, there is somethings special about it. And you got away from the usual burgers and chips. Also I admire the people who decide to make a life in such beautiful places. Thank you for this video. Next time you are in Paros, have a look at Antiparos. Greetings from Queensland, Australia
So nice of Nicole thinking of the viewers just before starting the meal. @Gabriel, the shirt you’re wearing is the best of all the ones I have seen you wearing over the years 👏🏼🤩 🖼
Damn Gabriel, there should be a warning for viewers on empty stomachs to watch after lunch! Love your content and your laid back approach when narrating, and even though I am a fan of the Greek mountain ranges, your in-depth explorations of certain islands are so much fun to watch!
I love how the fish bones were removed professionally by the server. If that was done regularly elsewhere I would be encouraged to eat more fish as I too don’t like dealing with animal bones when eating.
oh hey i watched your greek videos when you uploaded them (that's where i found you out from). What are the odds 2 of my favorite travel channels know each other
Im new, But your videos are super entertaining, especially meeting this gorgeous eccentric couple,.. super talented, makes me want to go out and meet more artistic people.
Good to see you Gabriel in the company of other people, enjoying a meal rather than eating by yourself. Keep enjoying life and beautiful Greece 🇬🇷 Stin ygeiá sas! 😉
AMEN...so lovely to see the lovebirds still together and happy as ever. When I head out there in spring i will be sure to find her shop and eat Gialos for yummy fish!
I'm always astonished that tourists are clueless about mainland Greece, which is actually the best part of the country. Greece is very mountainous with heavy winters and full of ski resorts.
Your friends are awesome. I was in US Air Force and stationed on island of Crete back in the 80's for almost 8 years. I've seen many Dolpins taking ferries between islands.
fantastic set of videos with your friends Gabriel! The vibe Definately gave off a calmer and more of a laid back feeling to your filming and your friends are lovely and so interesting! I must say Nicole is so inspiring and an absolutely gorgeous woman! Wow they are the idyllic expat couple
Hi Gabriel, that looked like an amazing meal, and the atmosphere was very relaxing along with a nice drink you can't go wrong. Nicole and Christos have found peace of mind in the Greek Island of Paros, foregoing much of the pretense of living in a complex city with all its trappings. I believe many want that but don't know how to escape that life.
Relaxing Greek lifestyle is starting to look so appealing! Post-covid continuous WFH has destroyed motivation for so many people, including myself - this laid back lifestyle looks ideal!
Wowww, excellent vidéo with this local friends..they are really special, just like you...Keep on enjoying life and traveling, showing us the world. Greece is also my favorite country... Best greetings from the French Riviera👋😍
Considering to go to Paros in September, taking the ferry from Italy. Still debating the Ionian Islands…so many possibilities… it’s torture to watch you eating… a nice evening thanks for bringing us to join.
Stay with the Ionian Islands. They are so much closer to you. You earn at least 2 days of vacation, if you just stay there. Gabriel has made some wonderful videos about those islands, last year. Check them out....
The meal looked delicious! The restaurant by the harbor Looked like a beautiful place to enjoy a meal with friends. I enjoyed learning about the different fish! Thank you for sharing your time with Nicole and Christos with us! Love from Vermont
I noticed that too and it's a good point! She hasn't got beyond please and thank you! And before anyone criticises me I came to Cyprus to live and had basic passable Greek in about 18 months!
@@twentyfourcats1008 oh please my wife is perfect the way she is. Let's maybe stop judging others, and look at the positives in this great video Gabe constructed once again. Happy days 🙂
12:25 This video somehow turns to an ultimate advertisement for Greece. No talking about ancient history this time, no bells and whistles about Santorini or Mykonos. Just a chitchat by ordinary people, friends stop by the table to say hello, of course Greek food, and through all this, we get a real sense about the society here and what Greece is all about. Come on Gabriel, taramas does not taste that fishy, I mean, it is not that bad! 😄
Lucky Gabriel to have his wonderful friends in beautiful Paros. It’s a pleasure to spend the weekend watching you being happy in Greece. Have plans to visit in the fall.
It's funny most people don't know that there you can ski in Greece or even that it does snow in some parts of Greece every year. On mount Olympus if you dare the climb there is also a ski resort. Dinner looked good, did you enjoy this fish?
It snows in Athens every year. Hell it even snowed in the islands last year, if you google around you will see maybe even Paros covered in snow, surreal!
Great Video, Gabriel. Free dinner with local German Greece friends ,fantastic benefit . Just tell your subscribers to come to any Greek Island from Oct 15! I do so for 4 years. Great prices, no tourists,cooler climate. Same or much better as in Summer!
Wowww what a wonderful Walk around the in Paros Greece 🇬🇷 together with the Local friends, thank u so much sir Gabe for your nice Wonderful walk around tour Godbless have a great Weekend from your solid fan supporter from the Philippines 🇵🇭 sir Marvin 😍🙏🙂♥️🎉🎉👏👏👏👏👍👍
This is a wonderful video, Gabriel! Thank you! So happy you see you enjoying yourself with friends! This brought back such great memories of 2017 when I sailed some of the Greek Islands for six weeks. Every island had this same kind of atmosphere. Great people, wonderful food and wine, exquisite outdoor restaurants and cafes, fantastic views and gorgeous sunsets! I didn't have a dolphin experience in Greece but I did have a swordfish experience! I was standing at the stern, having put away the fenders into their lockers, and as I turned to look at the Atlas Peninsula, a swordfish jumped out of the water and arched as it soared over the wake of the sailboat and then plunged back into the sea! It happened in a flash. A memory I will cherish forever. Enjoy your precious time in Greece! I will check out Nicole's shop. Safe travels.😊💙🇬🇷
Nicole and you are definitely inspiring in what you both do for a living, what you both love doing! Also, Gab, is this your first video where you have done a food review? :D
Actually Gabriel (and it ll probably amaze you because of the location) the New York Times suggested the Leuka Ori (White Mountains) in *Crete* as one of the best spring skiing destinations in the world.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Cool! Just be prepared for an adventure bcoz you ll enjoy the _"dazzling landscapes, untouched snow and a unique sense of freedom overlooking the sea"_ but there're no lifts, no lodges, no trail maps. Im sure you ll be fine though.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos In Leyka Ori ,Crete (meaning white mountains) there is a lot of snow (of course during greek winter ,jan-march) but NO facilities ,you are on your own (feet...).
hi there, I will be making prints out of all my paintings, they will be put up in the shop shortly, please watch this space. Blessings, nicole, Boho dogon. x
Taramosalata - tarama salad: White fish eggs (White tarama is considered superior in quality as it is made entirely from cod or other fish eggs (with added salt and sugar) blended with 2-3 day old bread, onion juice, lemon juice, olive oil. You taste and adjust, till the saltiness is not prominent.-gone. For a bowl taramosalata 50 -100 gr of tarama is enough.
The Nommo was amphibious, fish-like creatures, your eating their cousins :) Great videos love greece, i have just been to corfu for 5 weeks, and going to corfu next week again for 3 weeks, to swimm and eat...
Its not very diversified as its based on local ingredients which are generally the same everywhere in Greece. But its one of my favorite cuisines for sure.
Gabriel let me give you and those that watch your channel some info. The fish you ate was fresh but it was supermarket fresh. While Greek farmed fish is exceptional, it is not phenomenal. There is a significant difference in both texture and taste compared to wild caught fish; those that live near coasts know exactly what I am talking about. The selection of fish he had is typical of what you find in a Greek supermarket; Tsipoura/Sea Bream and Sea Bass is 7-8€/kg. Fagri/White Snapper is 13-14€/kg. Greek Sea Bream and Greek Sea Bass is readily available even at Costco here in Canada and the United States. Wild caught fish served at a restaurant/fish tavern is VERY expensive. How do I know it was farmed fish without eating it? Apart from the type of fishes, notice that for each kind of fish the size was the same. Wild caught fish are of differing sizes. I understand that for your services you received a free dinner, but in my opinion your services were worth a lot more than the dinner served. The other plates were mezethes/appetizers. You do not eat a plate of Tarama… Oh and a bit of history. Greeks traditionally eat fish eggs. During the Greek revolution a man named Barbakios destroyed a fleet of Turkish war ships on behalf of the Russian navy. He could no longer stay in Greece and fled to St Petersburg, Russia. Catherine the Great gifted him a large area surrounding the Caspian Sea for his heroic act helping the Russian Navy. It was he who discovered how to process and keep fresh the eggs of Sturgeon fish… he was in fact the founder of caviar. When you have time watch the movie “ Even Gods Love Caviar”. Enjoy Paris!!!
The Aegean is overfished, so restaurants in Greece have to sell farmed fish . I went out with a Turkish fisherman line fishing in the Aegean , myself a Kurdish h friend and the fisherman were out on the boat all morning and didn't catch a single fish .
I love your videos, man. One distinguishing feature is that you really love the place and take-in everything in the environment including the people and their culture.

My experience of greek Island living. Most people are living on peanuts. Few rich ones screwing everyone else over (including greek government)
Is Greek food really that diversified like Italian or Spanish food. Looks like basically the same food everywhere.
Its not very diversified as its based on local ingredients which are generally the same everywhere in Greece. But its one of my favorite cuisines for sure.
