Thanks a lot for watching and safe journeys!
I am a Serb and the Greeks are my brothers, without thinking at every moment I die for the Greek people and I thank them for everything
Love Serbia 🇷🇸 ❤ 🇬🇷
bokiboki , would you do the same for your other brothers, the Russian one? 😂👍
Greeks love you too brother and will do the same if needed!!!
Dont see what our corrupted goverments do...Greeks love Serbian and Russian people.
❤️☦️ αφκαριστο
💜💜💜💜🌺
When i retire. I am retiring to Greece. Ive already traveled to Greece and also many many other countries. I fell in love with Greece and her people. Cant wait to visit Greece again next summer!
Retire at Crete. Trust me i am Greek .
@@kosmas9995 yea. When i retire it will be on an island. I dont like big cities. Thank you. Visiting Crete next year cant wait.
I’m excited for you!! For a fun town try out Nafpaktos! It’s fun and affordable! Also not too far from anything!
you cant understand the feeling of doing vacations on an island, greece spain or whatever. as soon as you step your foot there your mind gets right away clear. the feeling is magic. youre welcome to greece
Greece is a feast for the eyes, so pretty.
My father's birthplace
So beautiful island
My kids love Ikaria island!!!
Lovely to hear! Would love to visit it! 🏝
We did visit many times ikaria Island with my kids and my father years back
I would like to visit again
Thank you
I hope to visit Ikaria soon!
Hello fellow Ikaria! My Pou-Pou and Yia-Yia come from Ikaria! My Yia-Yia's parents came from a village in the mountains and my Pou-Pou came from the village around Livadi.
I remember your video in Amsterdam where you ate boiled eggs with toast for dinner to safe money and look at you now, eating good food all day on the Greek islands. Nice to see the change 👍
That tiny church was really something else.
Ikaria has so much to see. You didn't even scratch the surface. You need at least a week or two to explore the island and you must go to a traditional Ikarian "panygiri". This island ' s got so much history. You definitaly need to learn more about Ikaria. my favorite greek island for sure....
Have always found the Greeks to be lovely, mind you find everyone lovely too. Gerry an Irishman
I don’t know about your other followers but I always pray you find your soulmate and then see both of you traveling with each other. 🤞🏻❤️
Pastitsio is a traditional Greek dish, but the recipe with the besamel sauce was the invention of the Greek chef Tselementes and is a staple of Greek cuisine ever since.
I really enjoy the "off the beaten path" aspect of your videos. Greece seems surprising and beautiful, no matter where you are. People seem friendly as well. Good job Gabe.
Greece 🇬🇷 best place ever ❤
The most beautiful Greek island i have been to was Lefkas or Lefkada. Omg so amazing
The best thing for Lefkada is an island but you pass in 2 minutes, by car, no ferries 😂😂😂
Gabriel your enthusiasm is inspirational, greece should make you a greek citizen. Love your videos.
We don’t want him here
Love your videos in general but Greece has been a treat. 🌊💙🌊
One of the most underrated Greek islands.
Ow...the things your eyes have seen.
How lucky you are to travell at Greek islands, finding all the hidding treasures each one has to offer.
I feel a little bit jealous of you, been able to travell on my country more easly than i do but through your videos i feel like been a part of your trip.Thank you for that.
You have such a passion ..for life.
Like zorba the Greek.
I am proud of you Gabriel, thank you for your videos as you bring me fond memories of Greece. I have been away from my homeland over 60 years and yet my heart has never left.
Really cool island in every possible way, as I remember. No wonder it is a blue zone. I was there in the summer of 1988. Incredible islanders, fantastic visitors, and dances every night! Never had the chance to go there again. Thank you, Gabriel!!
Not cool weather wise. It gets hot.
She has a lovely accent and perfect English. Another great island with lots to see.👍😊
When she's there in a bikini I don't think Gabriel's primary focus is her English level, if you know what I'm sayin ...
Stay in Greece dude,we love your videos on the Greek islands!!!!!!!!!!
Gabriel casually displaying how well he knows greek food, talking about the different types of ntolmadakia. Love this series
Its nice you have someone to travel with! It's good for you
These videos are amazing. What a country
Thanks for promoting Greece and her beauties !!!
GABRIEL: 💪. IKARIA is a famous "blue zone" -- one of a few in the world ! Where people lived the longest because they did not eat "sh_t" processed western food and very limited alcohol. People use to live to over a 100 years there !
100. They still do i hear.
But he managed to consume a lot of alcohol in just one vlog 🌊
@@easynow7801 So did I when I was younger and FAR less aware. Wisdom comes with age my friend. I have seen what alcohol has done to most people I know. The alcohol industry owns TV and Media. That why you see them normalizing the "poison," in commercials, and acting like knowing wine makes you some sort of sophisticated suave (idiot). It is ALL a scam my friend. Some day you will see why I am this way. I use to be the opposite.
These horrible windmills are even there 😳🤮
The local wine is acceptable
you are living the dream 😎👍
Gabe, your new friend was lovely and great company. I hope you two stay connected. That food looked amazing too! ❤️ What a great day of adventuring and sights.
Your great affection towards Greece really shines in all your videos! This girl from Tallinn is really pretty and cool!!! Love her accent!
Greece , amazing country ! Love from Romania !
the lemon slice with the beer goes on the top of the bottle to prevent buggs insert the bottle, no need to squize it!
Love the frescoes.... spectacular photography..... gracias, Efharisto
Ikaria, a hidden treasure
I LOVE GREEK ISLANDS. GREAT VLOG
Loved this video and all of your Greece series. It’s amazing to explore these islands where mass tourism has not come yet. I hope it stays this way. It was similar in Croatia when I was a kid (in the seventies/eighties) but now Croatia is becoming too popular and touristy, a victim of it’s own success. Hope Croatia will manage to preserve it’s natural beauty, despite the tourism. Greece islands are so special because they still have this untouched beauty and the feel of freedom to explore cool, authentic, historic places without crowds of tourists. Amazing to be able to find random old churches with frescos or the one build with stones without the mortar. The best is how most of them are open and free to explore, which means there are no crimes or vandalism happening on the islands. Precious these days! Enjoy your journey and take us with you. Really appreciate it!
The Frescos hit me a bit. Something about the remnants of devotion in living color and still around.....in a world of all things temporary....
That "alcove" at 4:38 is actually the called the Sanctuary or Holy of Holies. It's usually separated by what's called an Iconostasis and the Temple Curtain and it's where the alter normally is. It's forbidden for anyone to enter it unless a priest, bishop, deacon or alter server unless a layman is given permission, but I didn't see an alter so maybe it's not used for liturgies anymore? Love the videos, aderfe! Makes me proud 🇬🇷
Very good explanation, I just wanted to write the same. 🐬
at least it is better to avoid enter an altar by it's main portal, side entrance can be used by common people
Yes, I’m Armenian, as sibling cultures, we have the same construction and protocol.
We hope you had a great time to this beautiful Island of Greece, Ikaria.
Mesakti is one of our favourite beaches of the island!
Jeah my hotel is 500m from that beach away..im here at the moment..beautiful
Been on my bucket list forever, for cultural reasons. Quite a unique island.
FINALLY και γκόμενάκι😍
I love traveling alone and meeting new people/friends along the way. Can't wait to get on the trail again. Thanks Gabriel. Cheers.
A very nice video for a wonderful greek island with amazing people!
Gabe, keep on using greek greetings like kalispera etc.
Looks like a great day of good company and exploring. Those frescoes were amazing!
Hello Narelle
Just beautiful Gabriel! Nice to see other people you meet 😊 love all the exploring of the churches ❤️🙏 take care Gabriel 🙂 can't wait to see more!
Great as always Gabe. Nice to see you sharing some moments with someone too, she seemed lovely.
Gabe thank you for filming the frescos at the monestery, you did it so beautifully with the music in the background! It almost made me tear up a bit it was so perfect. Even the crack that ran across from one side to the other along the roof was perfect. Perfect imperfection. Sublime! 🙏🏼🙏🏼😍😍💙💙
This Greek series has been brilliant Gabe, has definitely made me want to visit the Greek islands at some point. Great to see you enjoying time with a fellow traveller as well, enjoy 👍🙂
Great videos. The greek islands are pheonomenal.happy to see you got someone to "chin,chin" with.
Theo-skepasti means a roof provided by God (or covered by God). So, obviously, the structure is a little church using the rock formation, slab, as the overwhelming roof and building some space against the rock. Theo-skepasti = god's roof, hence the name of the little church. Since a lot of Greek churches on the islands are nothing more than conversions of ancient Greek temples it's easy to imagine a prior temple there under the giant stone provided by God Zeus or demi-God Hercules.
I like how she pronounced "Amorgos". I instantly knew that she knows many languages.
Though it should be pronounced Amorgós . Not Amórgos , but it’s okay
Watching from Tampa, FL myself. It would not surprise me if his relative lives in nearby Tarpon Springs, there is a very large Greek community there. Cheers!
I miss Tampa! I used to live at Aegean Ln!!!
Back in March 2022, I rented a scooter from Ikarian Way in Agrios Kiyrikos and explorered some of the paved and unpaved roads. I also stayed two nights in a stonehouse in the hamlet called Droutsoulas. I had a great time.
Love to see your coverage in the islands of Greece.
Gotta love Greece 🕊️
Raki wow I haven’t thought about that stuff in 20 years🤯. My only experience in Greece was from my time served in the Marine Corps and we once did a training exercise with Greek Marines on the island of Sardinia and I trained a case of MRE’s for a case of Raki👍🏽👍🏽
Drinking Raki during Marines training makes it more easier probably....Raki is made by grapes and is the local product of the island of Crete.
Raki is a Cretan drink, very soft, it has only 110 degrees of alcohol 😂😂😂😂😂😂.
Greece island is very beautiful, nice people and great food
I think the monastery on Amorgos that she is talking about is Panagia Hozoviotisa. The landmark of Amorgos ! Very picturesque, built on the rocks right above the sea.
Fabulous day..as always
Music was on spot in this one! Great editing!
Cool, glad to hear it.
I first discovered dolmasdakias in San Jose (California). I've been a big fan ever since. Funny you're just discovering them now after all your Greek trips. Yum.
So good to see you traveling with a new friend and subscriber! Beautiful frescos at the church! Beautiful island thanks Gabriel for sharing your day! ~Cara
Nice to see u explore a bit w/ a new friend. I ran into some Estonians in Belize once, they seem to get around, haven't run across Lithuanians or Latvians yet. It seems like Estonians are well educated and prosperous, I can see why the Baltic countries don't want the Russian influence anymore, they do fine on their own!
Yes and now it seems that a big part of the world is finally getting away from USA influence that was not a day to late.👍
Yeah, as a Lithuanian, can agree. The independence from Russia was and still is the best achievement of 20th century, I think, for all three Baltic countries.
Estonian yes for most because they are in a way from the Finnish descent. and what so bad in russian influence and culture ?
Gabriel, thanks for taking us all along for the ride. I visit Greece frequently and have watched many travel videos to prepare me for any upcoming trips. NOBODY is as enthusiastic, thorough and informative as you are on the subject, keep up the good work please!
Gabe, Maui say you seem way more excited about this girl than any of the others in your videos. I’m only excited if she wants to continue on the same path in same way as you. 🤞🤞
That building on top of the mountain is the Castle Kyer Spanos
Love it! I hope i get to visit one day
The inside of the church roof/ceiling tells that it is concrete roof set on wooden "form". Supports are below until the concrete is set. Then the wood can be removed and you see the result.
Best wishes from Sri Lanka.
Gabriel, you have the best travel channel, after watching your videos I feel inspired to book my next trip. Thank you!!!!
Cool, glad to hear it. Safe travels.
Love Greece, love Tallinn. Thanks for your wonderful adventures!
Thanks for showing us our country
Your videos are very nice,congratulations!!!🙂
Gabriel you're awesome man, i love your vlogs
What a pleasant companion
If you come to Samos Ill show you around, its just 2 islands to the right of Ikaria...cheers!
hello it's not grape leaves , it's vine leaves , in Greece they cook with vine leaves , it is the tradition in the country , hello from Monaco
We like to order Retsina wine when we eat Greek.
Tastes a bit like turpentine. But in a good way. Hahaha.
There are now a lot of better wines in Greece to choose from, cheers.
@@Alexs.2599
I would hope so.
@@diegoflynn6215 Yes lol, for several decades Greek wine makers were using inferior grapes and their techniques were subpar. That has all changed. Actually Greek wines have one several awards over the years.
Beautiful as always , I enjoyed the video , it's nice to see a company with you . The churches ⛪ are overall in Greece , nice views . It's just incredible
You are always a great source of inspiration, I love Island hopping Greece and your videos gave me lots of ideas during the years. I cannot wait to go back to Greece this summer, I just hope I won't run into my ex Estonian GF as she already did it in my former spanish heaven, sometimes life is weird and whimsical...
You go, Gabe!
Now this is the place to be in 2022
This was a great video. I enjoyed the lovely churches and sea views. Your company was a nice part of the video.
16:27 Ben and Jerry's sure gets around! All the way from Vermont to a remote Greek island.
Beautiful island 😁I like it. Good job bro 👍😁well done 👏😁Thanks for sharing and take care 😁✌
So beautiful churches, and views🍻🍻
Awesome Gabe love your Greek vids
Greece for ever Gab....you will stay here.
Gabriel the frescos were amazing and the lady is gorgeous
Gabriel is an absolute legend 💪🏾
That is amazing! Thank you for sharing.😍
That last scene on the beach was total bliss , totally 💯 amazing as l wasn’t even there . 🤪👨☕️💯🙏🌎💙
The slice in the top of the bottle was put there originally to keep bugs out. But like most things it was adopted and adapted to something useless.
Im so glad i found your beautiful channel today!
Subed without second thoughts.
Thank you for advertising our amazing country Greece in such a nice way!
Greeks newspaper of June 1, 1963: Shark devours Austrian writer 3m off the coast of the Pagasetic Gulf while her companion watched terrified.
The last shark fatality was recorded in December 1983, so the dwindling numbers of sharks may have reduced the frequency of attacks. Still, sharks are often sighted near the coasts and frequently caught by fishermen.
The amount of content you consistently put out over the years is impressive.
Love your videos gabe and just when I’ve finished one there’s another new one Thankyou for taking us along .
And that’s we go to Greece every year
