So far I have travelled to 81 countries all over the world but I am also keep going back to Greece. It's such an amazing country with great food and fantastic islands.
The problem with your videos is they just continue adding to my already overflowing bucket list of travel destinations. Keep up the awesome videos dude.
My favourite greek island bro. Got married there a few years back in one of the monasteries up there/ Can't wait to go back, beautiful memories, thank you Gab
So glad at you showcase Skopelos, a lesser known island with an amazing nature. Not the stereotypical dry landscape of Cyclades here but dense pine forests that spread over the coastline. You should receive the honorary Greek citinzenship like Tom Hanks, you deserve it!
I thought I knew Greece but I don’t. This series of the islands has been fabulous. I love everything you do but this may be your best series. Thanks for sharing your adventures. We can’t wait to get back to Greece.
I was seriously thinking about going there at the end of the video. But it's pretty out of the way. Realized it was going to involve an extra 90 minutes of driving round trip and I was done for the day. Next time.
Love Greece, not just the many beautiful islands, but the people are excellent hosts, always welcoming and friendly, can't wait to return, this vlogs has made me miss there so much
Gabriel, you continue to solidify your position as the best travel vlogger on the internet with each post. Keep up the great work and thank you for bringing us all along for the ride. Cheers!!!
Myself and wife had our honeymoon in Skopelos in 2010, it is simply beautiful, we are going back in August 2022 for our second visit, Gabriel thank you for sharing this wonderful vlog and bringing back so many happy memories ❤️😀👍
As greek who lives abroad guess what striked me most in this video. The Beef stifado! So which island you liked most? Skiathos is for when you are teenager max 25. Ideal for partying. Skopelos is for families when you are married. Alonissos is for the sophisticated, ideally single for quiet holidays, a bit alternative. And If you want further adventure and isolation there two more smaller uninhabited islands to go beyond alonissos . Gabriel which one you liked more?
Alonnisos was definitely my favorite. That will be my next video. But I didn't make it down to Skyros, which I really wanted to see. Too far out of the way and I ran out of time. I want to go back sometime to visit it another time, looks like it might be the best of the Sporades.
I went to school with a lot of Greek friends... one of my best friends from high school is from Kalamata (I hope I got the spelling correct). I'd love to visit Greece soon... ⛵️
Only just discovered you,we love the Greek islands and have been to skiathos and neighbouring islands many times from England...we love you're work.. brilliantly done and excellent narration.🌞🏖️☀️🍻👍💞
Ahh, beautiful Skopelos! I've just returned from three weeks in the Sporades, where I spent two weeks working remotely from Skopelos, and the remainder of the time on Alonnisos and Skiathos, and fell in love with all three islands. But Skopelos now has a special place in my heart, I met some wonderful people there and generally had a great time, even if I did have to do my Monday to Friday job while I was there! I recall watching this video before I went, but it's interesting to watch it again now that I've been there and experienced the place for myself. Although you didn't show it in the video, I'm really hoping that you made it to Amorantos, very close to where you passed through Agnodas (or Agnontas as it also seems to be known), and one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen in my life!! If you didn't...well, I've just given you a reason to go back. ☺️
Yes I was there many, many years ago. I visited the beach by chance. The people there weren't embarrassed at all, but I was because I was wearing a pair of shorts.
I went to Stafylos and Velanio in 2019. I took the bus from Skopelos town where I was staying and walked back. When you hike over the small hill to Velanio, there is an organized beach scene & beach bar, as you see in the video. If you go further down the beach, past the rocks and the umbrellas, there was a part that was clothing-optional. I was there in early July and it wasn't nearly as crowded as early to mid August when Gabe filmed this.
Thank u so much sir Gabe For your Wonderful walk around tour in Skopelos Greece, 🇬🇷 stay safe Godbless from solid fan supporter viewer from the Philippines sir vhin 🇵🇭 😍👏👏👏🙂🙏🙏♥️♥️👍👍🙏👏👏👏👏👏
Gabriel, just wanted to say the music at the beginning of the video works perfectly with my 5.1 surround sound as do the sounds of bugs and other background sounds. So great work on your audio!
That 1st meal makes me wonder if your eyes were bigger than your stomach _ Loving these islands, just beautiful, and greener than some of the others you have visited. . . :>/
😭😍 it looks beautiful. I hope I get to go next year! Was thinking of going in September but with the virus getting out of hand...idk 😕 Im glad you went. There aren't many vlogs about Skopelos Island!❤
Gabe, just love your Greek Island videos.... Would you consider to relocate to Greece in the near future and which island will you prefer? We bought a property in Rethymno old Town in Crete and just love the Greek style of living. Keep up your great work.... Happy travels!!!!
It's so nice to see you visiting the islands I have been to. I'm a greece lover! Ps: I still wonder how you can always order a greek salad beside a maindish, as a greeek salad is more likely to be shared by several people when you have a "maincorse" after. No rules though :) enjoy! Ps 2: I would love to give you some insider tips for places one could visit, as I read a lot before visiting these islands. But I know that would be way too much and you're probably already in Alonissos?! :)
My husband always eats the main dish beside a Greek salad (we call it villager's salad, by the way) and we are a mainstream Greek family. We share it when we eat all together, but I have to make it bigger!
Thanks for these videos, they’re amazing. I love the food you highlight, but isn’t Greece and the Aegean known for its seafood. Maybe you could show a little of that in your next video.
A quick google search and this popped up: For those from countries outside the EU a driver's license with a motorcycle endorsement is required for all motorbikes. Driving a scooter even less than 50cc with a car only driver's license is not allowed in Greece and all Greek Insurance companies refuse to cover such drivers This is also new to me. So be careful because Insurance company will NOT cover it!!
Sometimes it's difficult to believe Gabe exists, that someone has such a life. Other times, I find it difficult to understand why more of us don't. But I don't know how many of us are nomads like this.
Wow! Gabe, you're usually conscientious. I'm 3 minutes into this video and you've filmed yourself opening the door to a home without knocking, entering, and filming what is likely someone else's domain. Then you tried a padlock (pretty universal what those are intended to mean), and finally for good measure you rang the bell. If you were looking to stir up trouble in a quiet little hamlet, well done! Otherwise, mind your Ps and Qs when out and about.
That was a small church in the middle of nowhere and an outbuilding that was clearly abandoned. I was showing the padlock to point out that the church was locked. Usually they're unlocked, and you're free to enter. Nothing wrong with ringing the bell of a small Greek church, especially when no one is around.
Skopelos was one of the places that disappointed us the most. It looks much better in the photos.. we have seen all the island. I wouldn't skip it if i knew because it was an experience but we'll surely never go back. visited in August2021
In the past, if you owned a car driving licence you were legally allowed to ride a motorcycle up to 125cc without gaining any additional motorbike qualifications. But over time, EU regulations changed. Now, even if you do possess a full car driving licence, you still need to take a CBT test before you can get on a motorbike. However, there is an exception; and that most probably was what the other person was alluding to on the other island. Namely, if you acquired your driving licence before Feb 2001, you can ride a moped up to 50cc no more than a speed of 50km/h, without any other tests.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Yes, it is. But, strictly speaking, the rule is that if you don’t have a Category A ( or A1), you are not legally permitted to drive a two-wheel motorized vehicle.
Gabe, been doing a lot of research on cars/motorbikes/Scooters for rent in Greece. Unless you have a motorcycle license in the US, you can't rent any motorbike/scooter while in Greece or most European countries. Best you can do is the ATV you have there, you caught a lucky break when they provided you with that 50cc motorbike. 👍
@@senorromantico7723 Not really, but if you have a lot of money then you don't have to worry about Insurance because they will NOT cover anything without the proper license.
Best wishes are sent Gabriel, just wondered - Do you have a Motorbike Licence? A Drivers Licence for a Car doesn't get you onto a 50CC Bike or Scooter in Europe. You need a Motorbike Licence which starts at 50CC as the first Test you sit.
Hey Gabriel, been following you for a while man. Not sure if you remember but you did a video about some guy scamming you in a nightclub in turkey a few years ago. I have a friend going to Istanbul soon and can’t seem to find it. Did you delete it? Wanted him to see watch it.
Yes there are. The Aegean is no exception. However the med in general is a poor hunting ground for predators due to lack of prey, so they are very rare.Dolphins are hard to find for the same reason. The med is one of the most saline seas in the world, thats one reason why it's so clear because it is nutrient deficient, and the price of seafood there is so high. There have been attacks by great whites,but in Italian waters if that helps.
Sharks are very rare near the coast line. There was an attack in Corfu island decades ago ( in 1951) I had never heard about any attack in the Aegean sea.
You've been so many times in Greece Congratulations 😃🎉
So far I have travelled to 81 countries all over the world but I am also keep going back to Greece. It's such an amazing country with great food and fantastic islands.
Thank you
Thanks for the great words about ΕΛΛΑΣ friend! You are always welcome here 🇬🇷
The problem with your videos is they just continue adding to my already overflowing bucket list of travel destinations. Keep up the awesome videos dude.
Every time I visit Greece I leave with a longer list of new places to visit.
Love seeing the Greek cuisine 😋
I'll be sad when the Greece run is over. Thanks Gabe i love these videos

I thought I knew Greece but I don’t. This series of the islands has been fabulous. I love everything you do but this may be your best series. Thanks for sharing your adventures. We can’t wait to get back to Greece.
You’re an inspiration man I’m in kefalonia simply from watching your videos
Cool, have fun.
Gabriel I absolutely love these Greek island videos. Skopelos and Skiathos are my two favorite videos so far 🇬🇷
Looks like a dream!
Love the little villages where you can get lost in the alley ways. And the white buildings
visit the cliffside Chapel of St. John (Ioannis)! Used in the film, Mamma Mia, but a dramatic coastline!
I was seriously thinking about going there at the end of the video. But it's pretty out of the way. Realized it was going to involve an extra 90 minutes of driving round trip and I was done for the day. Next time.
Perfect video and Perfect title
Heaven on Earth 💙

I always enjoy it when you give us a view of your room. I feel I am in Skopelos and I have a place to sleep at night. 💙🤍
I love the realistic views of your destinations. I have never seen Greece from this point of view. It's completely different from anything else.
I went to school with a lot of Greek friends... one of my best friends from high school is from Kalamata (I hope I got the spelling correct). I'd love to visit Greece soon... ⛵️
The Sporades, and Alonnissos especially are my favourite island complex. Great videos as usual.
After the year we've had I find your videos inspiring well done
I really like your videos man! I travel in the exact way as you! And Greece and the greek Islands are my favourits! Keep up the good work!
Another island to remember life long is Amorgos.Wild place with a lot of energy on the air. Just to know for next summer
I agree: ruclips.net/video/DzUi9bWOjcc/видео.html

the beach after stafylos over the hill, now called velanio, in the 90's was a real nudist beach ... intense memories for a teenager

Wonderful place! Oh I love to see these amazin Greek islandsThanks Gabriel for the lovely videos👍👍

Can't wait to return. one of my favourite islands. should be back there in 2 weeks.
Have you done a top 10 friendliest countries experience yet?
Love these islands, thanks G.
I can see the Greek islands will be Gabriel’s retirement home
Hi.. Gabriel.. Thanks for this amazing video again 🍀
Hi pasquale
Hi Gabriel, So many Islands to choose from one Island as beautiful as the next Island.
Keep safe Gabe and keep on travelling
What an amazing island! Really worth it!
Do alonissos as well only an hour away. Even more beautiful .Home to rare monk seal and dolphins
Can't wait to go in October

Hello. I was wondering how is it on the plane, Are they getting more full or still the same?
Sometimes it's difficult to believe Gabe exists, that someone has such a life. Other times, I find it difficult to understand why more of us don't. But I don't know how many of us are nomads like this.
I don’t think that he could do this for so many years without RUclips income.
I did this for more than twenty years before RUclips. :)

You hardly see anyone living in these towns. Are all the properties just holiday homes?

Cool music (not the anoing machine creaming crap), useful informations, nice places - not a consumidiot travel movie eventually!
Everyone misses that the sea between Crete and Thessaloniki ain't the Mediterranean Sea, but its the Aegean sea
True and also false. Because all of the minor seas in the region are also considered to be part of the Mediterranean: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aegean_Sea
Are there sharks in the water around Skopelos? Agressive sharks in Florida.
No ... only the Mediterranean monk seal by the way not only in Greece but nowhere in the mediteranean sea beaches you find sharks
No there are no sharks in the Aegean. In fact the waters surrounding most of southern Europe are shark free. Just watch out for jelly fish though.
Yes there are. The Aegean is no exception. However the med in general is a poor hunting ground for predators due to lack of prey, so they are very rare.Dolphins are hard to find for the same reason. The med is one of the most saline seas in the world, thats one reason why it's so clear because it is nutrient deficient, and the price of seafood there is so high.
