Thanks for showing me places that I wouldn’t be able to access as I am disabled I love Greece and it’s great that I can see other places I wouldn’t be able too ☀️🙏👍
Man you are really in your element out here in the greek islands! This is pure Gabriel at his most adventurous 👏
Gabriel, as much as you love Greece, you should move there for one year on Nomad Visa. I and so many others could definitely watch one full year of Greece. You wouldn't run out of content for a while, and we could live vicariously through you. 😊 It's such a beautiful place!
I looked into it, the problem is that one of the requirements is you have to show proof of accommodation. I couldn't and wouldn't plan out a year of hotels in advance hopping around Greece. So you would basically need to have an apartment somewhere rented long-term. That's something to consider in the future, but not something I'm ready to lock in at this point, staying in one place in Greece for six months or a year or whatever. Maybe at some point in the future I'll find the place that feels right to do that and apply for the visa.
Marry a greek😂
@@GabrielTravelerVideosHope you Marry a Greek Lady Gabriel. I remember you had a nice Greek Lady you talked about a long time ago in your videos & how you traveled around together for a little while. Your Love for Greece really shines in all your videos brother, for us, you are already Greek. Hope you enjoyed some of the Easter Festivities & Food there my friend 👍🏻
Maybe the Greek government will give him honoury citizenship for his devotion to their tourist industry😃......or get an EU passport if historical family connections.
@ojosazules8828 dam right mate
Thanks, Gabriel, you bring me to such a beautiful and peaceful place. love it very much
It's just a very small sample of the Greek beauty,! Your Greek are not bad Gabriel! Great content as always! Enjoy your stay!!!
Gabriel, your background music was awesome keep going with beautiful music while recording videos
Oh wow what a great island Andros is. Beautiful Greek towns, with lots of atmosphere, ruins and great scenery. Interesting conversation with Vasilis as well. Just loving your Greek adventure. ❤❤
What an incredible amount of sights and diversity for a mid sized European country!
The cradle of civilisation
"We understand ourselves as Greeks". I'd love to hear more on this topic
More a feeling and state of mind, just an intense joy and pride in our culture and who we are. First Generation Greek American but love Greece
Yes indeed. It is such a PHILOSOPHICAL comment from the leftist with the west jacket. :)
Yes indeed. It is such a "philosophical" comment from the leftist with the west jacket. Spread it further for the education of European civilization. :)
I miss Greece a lot. I go every 2 or so years. Your videos make me want to go now. Try the Epirus region, Parga in the mainland, lots of history there. Then the islands of Paxos & Antipaxos, just a fun ferry ride across. They are amazing sites. Of course Corfu being the main island nearby.

good background music
One video per day is not enough for me 😅! That was an amazing adventure!
Fun times Gabriel. Love Greece, and the islands! You bring it to us up close and personal!
I love Greece
What a great conversation you had with the local Greek man.
I love talking to the local people. What a connection 😊
If you haven't been to the Cave of Diros in the southern peloponnese I highly recommend checking it out. Huge cave system they take you through on 6 person canoes. You're so close to the formations you literally have to duck down to not hit some of them
this random yet meaningful conversations is what I really miss as a Greek living abroad. thanks to your videos I can "travel" back to the atmosphere of my country. Thank you, Gabriel. Do you also consider visiting places in the mainland off the beaten track? Epirus and Thrace mountains are magical.
Yes: ruclips.net/video/bNTTED8OAtY/видео.html
That's awesome, Gabriel. Good show!
From Craig. UK.
I especially love the Greek music. ❤
Nice to have conversations with the locals
gabriel I would like to travel to all the greek islands for at least a year or so. crazy times and family. thanks for your streams makes life so worth it.
I loved that conversation! One can agree one can not, it’s ok……but I LOVED the connection. I loved that,the most! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Its like having a deep breath and a warm hug seeing the Greek Islands 😊
Gabriel you truly are one of the great vloggers on Greece, I love Greece and have been to many of the islands you’ve visited after watching your videos you really do the country justice , fantastic videos mate 👍
In my humble opinion I can see lots of similarities between Greece and California.Thank you Gabriel for sharing your experiences.Im talking about the landscapes and sceneries.
Yes many similarities but only one Greece~
Hi Gabriel, those caves are where Monks live & pray! Very Common in Ancient Orthodox Churches Area!
Your videos from greece are the best loooooove
Greece, why are you so beautiful?
come and find out !😊
Because,We Gods ,live here.😂😂😂😂😂
It’s the atmosphere, smells, beautiful blue water, the ancient perspective, the light shines through its people and it’s all delightful to witness!
@@KNIGHTTEMPLAR555 👍🥰
@@Anticommunism99 GREEKS ARE HERE FOR 4000 YEARS,YOU CAME TO NEIGHBOURHOOD 1300 YEARS AGO.SO ,DON’T SHOW HOW IGNORANT YOU ARE,AND DON’T EMBARRASS THE OTHER ,FRIENDLY ,NEIGHBOR BULGARIANS WITH YOUR NONSENSE SAYINGS.😃😃😃
Amazing Greece 🏖🤗Thanks for sharing and take care 👍
Was my first ever Greek island and I loved it mate.
An ancient BEAUTY 🙏♥️😍
At his 20th visit, I think Gabriel will win his Greek citizenship!!! Keep up the good work traveler 😉
I live near the port of Kymi where you skipped due to the lack of ferry tickets to Skyros! I have places to propose when/if you come back here. Especially the wrecks of an old castle (that you love so much) with breathtaking view to the Agean Sea!
Check out a video titled "Castle of Agios Georgios (Kymi)"
Another Awesome Adventure Thank You Gabriel Looking Forward to Your Next Big Adventure 🙂❤👍Watching from NB Canada🙂🙂🙂
Keep in mind that Tinos has many many beautiful villages up on the hills that are worth worth worth visiting.
Great video.
Welcome back to Greece! Looking forward to more of your awesome videos.
Wow! So pretty. I could live there 😊
Many thanks for promoting our county!! Be well and enjoy!
What a great adventure! And, once again, I appreciated your music choices.
Andros is, together with Tinos, the greenest islands of the Cyclades. They have springs and streams. Andros also has the famous Sariza spring in the village of Apoikia. In the village of Apoikia are also the waterfalls of Pythara.
In Korthi is the castle of Faneromeni and the bridge of Agapi. I recommend you to visit them!!!
Hey Gabe, love the Greek videos. If your plans arent set, i suggest a visit to Naxos. The villages on the island are exquisite (especially Apeiranthos) and the beaches on the eastern side are some of the best in Greece. Also, you can finally visit Delos, which is a short ferry ride away from Naxos.
Amazing video. Such a beautiful place to explore. Quite an adventure. Simply stunning. What better way to end it than having Greek cuisine. Mmmm.
Owesm Gabriel, more joy to you!!!
Top notch video yet again, it's a joy to follow your travels. Best regards, Diarmuid
You should go to Thassos Island before it is packed with tourists. You Should Go to : 1. Marble Beach (the smaller one called Saliara, not the one next to the marble port), 2. Chryssi amoudia (golden Sands) north side and middle is better, 3. panagia village, 4. Paradise beach, 5. Alyki , 6. Psilli ammos 7. metalia, and there are many more smaller hidden beaches that i leave to you as a surprise if you want to explore you will be rewarded. There are also antiquities starting from limenas, and again surprises with hiking. The Island is a mountain made mostly out of white marble, it is unique om that. It is small but if you want to explore the hidden treasures you may need 5-6 days. The east side is green with forrests, and the west side has been burnt many times ... so it is like the rest of greece
I believe his plan is to go to northern Greece so there’s a good chance he does Thassos. I’d like to see that too
You are living that life dude!
Doing my damndest. 😎
What a stunning lookin island. Great vid as always Gabe😊
You landed well. Andros is such a charming place.
Gabe, so happy you finally managed to go to Andros👍 I've visited more than 40 islands so far, and this one must be definitely in my top ten list.
It's so unique and charming 🩵
Fantastic content! Thanks for taking us on a journey, Gabriel!
Greece is most Beautiful
What a beautiful video Gabriel, thank you.
Wow! Well Enjoyed,!
I would buy a drone if I were you the 299$ new mini 4K from DJI you can fly it everywhere is under 250 grams. Andros is in need of a drone footage. Great video.
You are either brave or foolhardy. I’m happy you survived the bridge, but you climb as a goat and that helps.
thank for taking me there . saludos great cinematography
Will you please considering doing like a month-long series (yes, like every other day or every day) 🙏🙏🙏for Crete and Rhodes? I keep reading that Crete actually requires a month to explore the whole thing in depth.
Thank you and we love love love your channel!!!
Thank you for transporting me to Andros, my beloved Greek island and home of grandmother. ❤️ Great convo with Vassili.
19,45 typical Greek αραλίκι(chillin' in English) Nonetheless the conversation was kind of hilarious...!
Yes, what a nice conversation of non sense, gibber, from that laughable leftist (with the ugly non-practical "jacket west" that so many ugly leftists in Greece wear XD). "Whole Greece is like whole California" if i heard correct? Also funny that "nationality" thing he mentioned about himself and in comparison with other European tribes. 37:50. Just as Hellenes (am one myself), the Germans, French and Italians etc ALSO have history that goes back. He does not even know European history in general, haha. "We understand ourselves as Greeks". Good for you! XD. But yes, leftist unintelligible gibber is always entertaining to hear. :D
Thanks for eliminating your old introduction much better now I use to cut ahead just I didn’t have to see it
Great work as always Gabriel! You might want to also consider visiting Kavala, Nea Peramos (make sure you checkout Ammolofoi beach), and Nea Iraklitsa, in Eastern Macedonia, Greece about 1.5 hours east of Thessaloniki. Within Kavala county you will also find the UNESCO world heritage site Phillipi as well as the beautiful full of green island of Thasos. Thanks again!
I'm thinking about heading up there, we'll see. Thanks for the tips.
Hi Gabriel, lovely Island very interesting conversation many are known to have restaurants in the USA so you'll notice many Greeks speak English with ties to the US.
Very true. Back in the 80's, there was a popular diner called The Andros Diner near New Paltz/Poughkeepsie NY. You can guess where the owners were from originally.
Literally "off the beaten track".
Thanks for showing Greece as the locals know it, Gabe. No glitz, no glamour; and the shared historical information is extremely interesting. 👍
Watching the convo with Vassilis...thinking about it, we (Greeks) have been saying "όχι" (No) to invaders since the ancient times. However, interestingly enough, in these modern times Greeks are among the most welcoming, friendly and open people anywhere.
Great video
A real explore day Phoenix
Gabe, the intro was nice ... Like it was from a war movie or something... Keep trying something quirky when you get a chance 😁
Oh how l missed this tune ...
Gabriel, you belong there..
Why fight it anymore?
Gabriel highroller traveler mode on.
It looks like a Videogame there
One minute into your video I was like: Oh man I miss Greece! Andros seems much less arid than the southern Cyclades - maybe more similar to the southern Ionian islands? I've seen in your video the architectural style of the Cycladic Cube, but I've also seen hints that remind me of Corfu and the Italian influence there. All very beautiful 🙂👍
"Sic-LAD-ic" in English pronunciation with the emphasis on the middle syllable. That's how the adjective is pronounced. The proper noun is pronounced "SIC-luh-deez," emphasis on the first syllable. In Greek the proper noun sounds like "Kee-KLOD-ays"
Also he pronounced the islands wrong! It's Androsss! Not Androus! Mykonossss not Mykonouse! Etc
@@normanlee31 I've watched a lot of his videos and finally I had to say something bc the dude goes on about how much he loves Greece and has been there 11 times but can't manage more than an "euxaristw" basically...like take a few minutes. I say that as a Greek-American. lol.
@@SamDiMento to be fair though it's not easy to learn as a foreigner! After 30 years I am still not 100% accurate with all the grammar but I can get through the day without having to lapse into English. But yes it wouldn't take a lot to add to the vocabulary a little 🙂
@@normanlee31 Greek has a very complex grammar and lexicon, it's true, but it isn't any harder than any other language to learn phrases like "What's your name" "I'm from New York" "How are you?" "Where is _____"? "How do I pronounce the place I'm going to?" is a good basic question to ask oneself. lol
where did the Greek sun go. i know they had cloudy days and rain on Easter this year at least thats what our relatives said who live on the island of karpathos
You are at your happiest in Greece... 😂 you might be a Greek in one of your past lives. I love seeing your adventures!
Beautiful ! 😊❤🇧🇦
28:00 The castle was built by the Venetians after 1207 AD and it remained in relatively good condition until 1943 when it was destroyed by German bombings.
Wow, crazy.
Andros looks similar to Malibu!
The country of Gods 🇬🇷🏛️
Andros is an underrated island. Interesting but definitely not a first choice for holidays. The video is great though…
Esta hermosa esa Isla
First time in all these years I’m actually in a country at the same time that Gabriel is visiting …..!
Cool, have a great time.
wow, what an awesome spot!
33.23 Nice "mezedes" A bit pricey for twenty euros but what can you do,eh?Cost is on the rise!
i couldn't understand your word "hora" but did find the word "Khora" if you read the following it seems "Khora means countryside" even though it seems like it means "core". (The ancient word polis had socio-political connotations not possessed by the modern. For example, today's πόλη is located within a χώρα (khôra), "country," which is a πατρίδα (patrida) or "native land" for its citizens.[3] In ancient Greek, the polis is the native land; there is no other. It has a constitution and demands the supreme loyalty of its citizens. χώρα is only the countryside, not a country. Ancient Greece is not a sovereign country, but is a territory occupied by Hellenes, people who claimed as their native language some dialect of ancient Greek). so I hope that means something to you. I have heard Andros is popular and beautiful.. great video.
I hope you got to experience the orthodox Easter, fireworks, roast lamp, the works...
Love your curiosity and willingness to stop and investigate along the way. Tim Cahill (Pecked to Death by Ducks) was, I think, the third travel writer I starter following, after Bryson and Theroux. You've added a very cool visual element through RUclips. Going to Greece later this year.
Thoreau?
Paul Theroux, different from Henry David Thoreau.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Not only a travel writer he also wrote the dystopian novel O-Zone.
Bryson's "A Walk in the Woods" is my all time favorite.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos thx for clarification 👍
Garfiel high roller traveler… kalashnikova engaged….
THANKS FOR CORRECTLY NAMING OUR COUNTRY THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, HAPPY EASTERN . SALUDOS
Have a nice time! So Jelous! I am Greek and unfortunatly I have to live in the UK....I can't go to Greece this summer
People from the island of Andros have been traditionally involved in maritime business (see merchant marine / trading by sea), with several of them being ship owners ......as a result, there is a certain wealth on the island.
👍
That place is so picturesque, and it is not marred by graffiti. What a laid back place to call home.
The pictures you found but the cave were awesome. That's the conflict! I think seeing that on video would make more people want to go but I think authorities think having videos of the sites would stop people from coming?.
I have a feeling Gabriel will settle one day on a Greek island and retire there.
Great content, like that you are often in Greece, what is your favourite island in Greece? Best regards @SkyVistaDrone
Greece is stunning,..but sadly prices are really going up a lot for holidays.
The greek man his English is very good.obviously intelligent
My ex was born in Puglia, which was originally settled by the greeks so he was convinced he was Greek, but he did 23andme and nope! Not Greek.
It's sad and funny at the same time 😂
How come you haven’t gone to Lemnos 🤔🇬🇷🇻🇬🥃
It's on my travel list, looks really interesting.
Got kind of chilly, had to put the socks on! 😂 socks and saddles man 🇨🇦🥓🍺
Saddle up Millhouse 🙄
You know things are getting rough when the socks come out.
👍👍👍
👍🇬🇷🎵
