Gabriel, if you can remember the nearest village to where you stopped at the church with the millstone, and the next huge place you had a look around, I or someone else maybe able to tell you their names and what they were, as well as a brief history.
@@dizzeeblondee5309 I think that church where the birds flew out was somewhere between Bahceli and Kaplika.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos thanks. I shall research. Nice evening meal for you there at the end of the vlog, with a calming view after a days drive!
So the big "warehouse" look up "Eski Harup Depoları" Flamoudi(Phlamoudi) it's an old Carob warehouse just prior to Mersinlik caravan park. For the church.....I'm still looking
@@dizzeeblondee5309 Carob eh? Interesting. I love carob. I thought it might have been a fish processing plant.
the churches were destroyed by the turks around 1974 not earthquake you mentioned
Hearsay 😂
Are you sure about that? Only because if it was intentionally damaged by people I think it would look different. They could have destroyed it much more than it is with a sledgehammer in a few minutes. The damage looks fairly evenly displaced throughout the church, including up towards the ceiling where people couldn't reach. It looks more like it was caused by an earthquake to me, though I certainly could be wrong.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos The oldest one in Kyrenia with graffiti was unquestionably "dealt with"
@GabrielTravelerVideos you are right brother, too much politics in the Cyprus issue, I'm sorry to say that there may come a point were you may have to put comments disabled for your Trnc videos, the problem is both sides elders brainwash the kids, so there is no evolution in thinking, it is a shame som much hatred for so long, if they all did a dna test then they would all discover that it's not Turkish Cypriot and Greek Cypriot, its Turkis speaking Cypriot and Greek speaking Cypriot, everyone who took over that island did what they wanted to the Cypriots, if I ruled the world I would get rid of everything that divides us as humanity, flags, religion and so on, but hey I'm an idealist, Ataturk said the same, the governments love the divide because they need the demons and without it they become the demons, people have to stop listening and start self educating, im Cypriot and I have nine races in me, Cypriots ancestry check it
@@GabrielTravelerVideossomeone with Common sense…well don’t argue no need because they are not rational. “Cleansing Turks from the island” wasn’t a great idea after all
Loving the Cyprus stuff so far dude! ❤
The church is not destroyed by earthquake dear Gabriel....

@@GabrielTravelerVideosas I said in one of your previous videos, in 1974 during the invasion and thereafter over 500 churches, monasteries and chapels were destroyed and looted. This is a fact. I refer to the book by the Rev D Demosthenous, which lists quite comprehensively. Mostly Greek Orthodox, but Armenian, Maronite and any Christian place of worship. It's been almost 50 years and apart from a chosen few, many have been left to decay on purpose.
@@dizzeeblondee5309 I too noticed the lack of maintenance, the decay and piles of rubble, very unusual.
There was a lot of air bombardment that destroyed buildings too. I was living on Paros and the bombers flew over all the time.
The churches have been subject to the most violent and systematic desecration and destruction. More than 500 churches and monasteries have been looted or destroyed: more than 15,000 icons of saints, innumerable sacred liturgical vessels, gospels and other objects of great value have literally vanished.
Amazing and so beautiful North Cyprus.
Gabe: *stumbles upon abandoned building*
“Woahhh check out these totally historic ruins!!”
🤣🤣🤣 Gotta love you, man! ❤
Yes, more Cyprus. ☆ ! 🌲😎🌲
I did the same trip as you 1 month ago! I went all the way to the tip of the Dikarpaz penisnula to the monastery of St. Andrew the apostle and took lots of photos with wild donkeys! May the journey continue well Gabe!
That's exactly what I did yesterday, super fun.
I've always wanted to see Northern Cyprus and never got a chance to.. there is not much footage of the island on the internet either.. Thank you for this great tour of this part of the island Gabe 💯
Excellent video! thanks for your time and effort .
Love the music in your videos!!! ❤❤❤
The carving looks impressive.
From your vids i see that the Greek side of Cyprus looks much nicer ..more landscaped
The south has a lot of what the western world has to offer, whereas the north is like stepping back in time and is still quaint and less developed, although that is quickly changing. The fact the north is embargoed restricts its development and that’s why it attracts individual foreign investment from other countries like Russia. A lot of people who have lived in the south, choose to move to the north, partly cos it’s less expensive, but also cos the pace of life is slower
I did this trip a couple of years ago. Ate the exact same fish on the seafront balcony of that restaurant. Stayed in a lovely guest house in Dipkarpaz (the town you drove through)!
Very cool. 👍
Sheftalia, Cypriot Sausages, we call it şeftali kebabı.
Another very cool day of exploration, and such a lovely restaurant and view at the end!
Love this island 🏝 specially the North 😏😁 ♥️
By seeing, the ceiling and walls inside the Bellapais Monastery at the first, seems it has a Byzantine architecture in some part and the damaged part of that abandoned Greek church doesn't looks like, it has caused due to earthquake, may be from attacks but it must be around 200 to 400 years old range.
Edit : also may be from an earthquake.
I remember my last trip to Bellapias, I took a wrong turn on the way out and had to do a twenty point turn to get out 😂 the cake you got at your room is made with Tahini is nice, looking forward to seeing Karpaz when you get there, make sure you keep going to the point, not many people do cause of the road after the church but it is worth it, save the skinny dipping for Karpaz not a soul in sight
Yum ! That grilled fish and your fruit juice haul are looking good. Nice inn keeper too.
Hi Gabe, very interesting video and great adventure. We are waiting next video. Chaos
Another day of exploring, the Bellapais Monastery is a truly magical place. Did you know by the way that you can download offline maps on Google Maps while on WiFi? I do that when preparing to go somewhere that doesn't have internet service. Looking forward to the videos from the Karpaz Peninsula, the main town is Dipkarpaz (Rizokarpaso) where you can find a still active monastery and its the main population center of Greek Cypriot community in Northern Cyprus.
I think the 'town' he drove through waz Dipkarpaz!
Looks great in that area ❤
The restaurant at the end of the video looks like a peaceful place to get some work done!
Definitely.
Cool to find stuff without tourist signs in English and guess/imagine what’s going on
It appears that the church has been vandalized
Another great video
16.25 building was an old ‘Carob’ storehouse
The tourist center (or even the hotel reception?) would probably have paper maps of the area (which could supplement your lack of an online digital map of the area when you are outside).
Thanks for another awesome video Gabe.
Nice video Gabe and I see they drive on the left in this part of Cyprus
Yes, in all of Cyprus since it was controlled by the British.
Btw, Cyprus is actually divided to 3, as part of Cyprus belongs to the UK
4, UN is there too
Another great video, maybe you can mix in some music by Cypruss Hill in the next video would be very appropriate
Respect the real history... this is the real flag of Cyprus.. 🇨🇾 !
Get a life, look how you've been brainwashed by your elders, you should pick up a history book and stop being a sheep 🐑
That is the flag of genocide!
🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷
I'm curious if inline skates are allowed there or not? And I find it quite exciting to skate on those roads as I'll be visiting North Cyprus soon insha'Allah 😊
01:11 White houses with blue doors and windows, but with Turkish flags.
One can guess whose houses were these prior to expulsions in 1974.
And vice versa, before that venicians, and many others but the island has never been a Hellenic island
@@DragonKing33333 I am talking about end of 20th century, not the Middle Ages.
@@tombuddy100 What if Germans reacted this way whenever someone holidays in the former parts of Germany that now is Western Poland where the houses and hotels used to be inhabited and owned by Germans before World War 2, where it now lives Poles and occasional tourists.
@@vaultkeeper2 Why are you comparing German territories prior to WWII, in which Germany attacked half of Europe, resulting in 50 million people dying and countless cities and towns being demolished, to Republic of Cyprus?
@@tombuddy100 Yeah, maybe I should instead compare it to the Poles who were kicked out from Western Ukraine (in the Soviet Union) after World War 2 when the majority Polish city Lwow and its surroundings, located in Poland, was annexed by the Soviet Union and placed in Soviet Ukraine, renamed Lviv and resettled with ethnic Ukrainians and Russians. But even Poland has come to term with their history and is not by any means dreaming of reconquering old territories.
Maybe to some people kktc is not a recognised country but to us Turkish Cypriots is our country. We were shot and killed discriminated against used as second class citizens,now we have a country and we are free .
You are just traitors of your country sold your souls to Turkey for giving you stolen land .Turkish Cypriots killed my great grandfather for nothing. Just try to feel what lies you have been told to excuse a crime against the Greeks of Cyprus. If you want a country you should ask for a United Independent Cyprus (not Greek, Not Turkish).
The music ❤
Always great exploring, Gabriel! Have you ever (or are you interested) in visiting Ephesus?
I've been there, it's amazing: ruclips.net/video/1ussTuYzrAQ/видео.html
Amazing video! Thank you!
What happened to Cyprus with the invasion by the Turks is a damn shame, there are ways this conflict could be resolved, but I dont think the Turkish "president" would like to work towards it. This is Cyprus, period, not Northern Cyprus.
For a lot of people maybe it’s just a piece of Cyprus proper,but to people who actually live there to them it’s home regardless whether they are recognised or not.
Thanks for sharing. Your trips are fun for the armchair travelers.
The Cypriot coastline looks a lot like Israel's. Super pretty corner of the world the Eastern Mediterranean
The thumbnail is so wrong.
You said it is not a recognized country, so why you put its flag, which I guess it also not recognized?
What does the flag have to do with anything
You should be close to the Apostolos Andreas Monastery !
Thank you so much.
👍👍👍👍Hi With Google Maps you can save an area on the map while you have wifi and then be able to view that area without Data.
Your travel vlogs are like a mini vacation I can take anytime! Thanks for the constant dose of inspiration and the stunning visuals that always brighten my day. Keep exploring and sharing the magic! 🌏✨
Hi Gabriel, a noticeably quiet day not much to see as you're reaching the end of the island. Harald Baldr is in Rhodes, and he always mentions you Gabriel High Roller as he goes on a 1-hour spending spree with one thousand Euros in the stores there at the new market area.
What is with Harald and Bald lately? They do like a video every other month. Laziness in their success?
Yo gabe, another great vid ,,, ps can you give us some prices. On food and cost of eating out 🙏🙏🙏. Thanks dude
A blessed Good day Sir Gabe Wowww What a Nice Historical places and Beautiful Scenary there in Northern Cyprus I love Your Driving Tour Journey Adventure and and Explore the Quiet Place of Northern Cyprus, Thank u so much for your wonderful Walk around Driving Tour Video Stay Safe Godbless from the Philippines 🇵🇭🙏🙂♥️
Sorry Gab but this is not the flag of Cyprus!!
It's the flag of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. Google "TRNC flag".
It is basically Turkish flag, having nothing to do with Cyprus.
Yes it for the biggest minority of the island
Fully watched… No dispute at all, Northern Cyprus is NOT a Country.
Maybe you like it or not it is a country
Wrong.
@@turkishcypriot8013 No country other than the Republic of Turkey has officially recognised Northern Cyprus as a sovereign state. The United Nations recognises it as territory of the Republic of Cyprus under Turkish occupation.
@@MrAdamsanto87 No country other than the Republic of Turkey has officially recognised Northern Cyprus as a sovereign state. The United Nations recognises it as territory of the Republic of Cyprus under Turkish occupation.
@@TheHuski tell the internet you're a UN bootlicker without saying bootlicker 🤣
I gotta be honest here Gabe. These Northern Cyprus videos just have a weird, uneasy feeling about them considering the political situation
I live in the north and I feel completely safe here, why do you feel uneasy. The political situation is only evident in the south, not the north. Most people in the north just get on with their lives and don’t obsess about the island being divided. They have no control over what happens going forward, it’s up to the ROC government and the TRNC government to agree, otherwise this will be the status quo ad infinitum.
Why?
Copilot GPS (or similar alternatives) if you need offline navigation
Best looking lunch yet Bona petit!
Thank you so very much for helping me satisfy the wanderlust in my soul, it’s really appreciated !!!! Everyday responsibilities can be a bit constricting 😅
Enjoy your travels and thank you for taking us along 🙏❤️☮️
Northern Cyprus is not a country, it's an occupied part of Cyprus, you should not be supporting turkey's illegal actions
Right, but it's not his fault. He is a tourist, recording. That's ok.
@john-mq8wj then blame your ancestors for organising a coupe and killing Turkish people for 10 yrs
@@john-mq8wjyeah it's like me going to crimea and saying welcome to Rysia 🇷🇺
But if Gabriel looks up the facts and history as to why Turkey invaded, he probably would care even less. Perhaps he has read into it all hence not giving a fuck, visiting and promoting TRNC.
@@tunji6607 He is not promotiong "TRNC". He is visiting and recording Cyprus as he would any place he goes to.
northern Cyprus on the travel list for sure
Yep, and then don’t forget Crimea and eastern Ukraine. You be the happy lala tourist.
Yes come don’t listen to the greeks come and see the truth
@@mn7486completely different mate. Turkish occupation ended in 1983 with the creation of the TRNC.
20:00 Have you ever been stopped by the police for filming and driving at the same time?
Hey Gabriel, don't forget to visit the ghost town of Famagusta
The kebab you were eating is sheftalia sausage kebab. Also, Northern Cyprus has the better historic architecture
Yep, that was it.
Yes, northern Cyprus has the better historic architecture, none of which seems to be Turkish.
@tombuddy100 Yes, mainly Roman or from the Crusades
Thank you Gabe.
Let's not forget the suffering of the indigenous people of Cyprus.... the Greek Cypriots
When the Turks invaded in 1974 they took 1/3 off their island.
400 years of oppression, suffering and enslavement at the hands of the Turks was not enough.
They returned in 1974 to take 1/3 off their island..... May the world never forget the crimes of the Turks.
The crimes of Brit’s and generally the Western Europeans are far greater.
And if you start talking about recent crimes, we can always move to USA and EU.
@@MilitechCorp Go for it snapper head.
@@johndunn4182 you sure are dunnhead
Indigenous people of Cyprus 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lots of history from the Bible there too.
I never fast forward through your videos. You draw me into your exploring.
Not a country. It is occupied. Let's hope that one day the residents who forcibly evicted from their homes will return. Let's hope that Cyprus will be free again and Turkey, which is a terrorist country, stop the genocides
How come Turkey is a terrorist country??? What about USA and all these European terrorist states?
I think I'm 3rd haha....Cheers Gabe!
Yep.
Gabriel - which side of Cyprus is cheaper for travelers? The Greek or Turkish side?
I haven't noticed a big difference, but I think the Turkish side is a little cheaper.
It is northern side, "Turkish" side being artificially created.
@@tombuddy100nope
Funny I just watched a Spaniard guys Ramilla De Aventura video through Cyprus and now Im here watching more of Cyprus
Uk is not part of eu
Correct.
Wow, it's a bummer all the Christian church paintings were destroyed
What was wrong with the satnav in the car!
It's in Chinese, not sure how to change the language. That might have helped me out since my phone service isn't working.
Good morning from Arizona 113 degrees today 9 AM
Google offline maps?
I’m enjoying Cyprus with you as usual 😊 … here’s a question you may not want to answer .. Have you ever considered travelling a whole trip however long with a companion? I was thinking of maybe your nephew… that would be cool 😎 imo.
That’s if your bro Christo ( lovely name ) as is yours would let you ??
Occupied area. Not a country.
Occupied areas are ottomand lands. Give back Ottoman lands, all of greece
Tough crowd in the comments on these videos
HI Gabriel
Hi Gabriel! You yourself said that where you are is not a recognized UN country and that's why you don't put it on the list of countries you've visited as it is considered the "republic of Cyprus". Yet you place a fake Turkish flag next to the name Cyprus. Controversial attitude, challenging and unsuccessful way to attract views.
Notice the title: "Disputed country."
@@GabrielTravelerVideos I think the flag in the thumbnail was somewhat of an overdoing. It is basically a Turkish flag, which does not represent Cyprus or Cypriots, only Turks identify with it.
@@tombuddy100 Turkish Cypriots have lived in Cyprus for centuries. The Turkish speaking people who live here aren't all from Turkey, most of them have lived here for many generations. Of course the Greeks were here first but that's going back a very long ways.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Of course. That is not disputed.
"TRNC" flag is fake, not representing Cyprus or Cypriots.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Wrong. Most of the Turkish people currently living in North Cyprus are new settlers from Turkey who moved there after 1974, only a minority of the current inhabitants of the north are actual Turkish Cypriots.
Amazing video from Turkish Cyprus 👏👏❤️
I hope you are going to Nicosia, I think it may be the only divided capital in the world, with the possible exception of Jerusalem. I would love to see video of this division and how it looks and works in real time.
I've made three videos there previously, including crossing the border both ways: www.youtube.com/@GabrielTravelerVideos/search?query=Nicosia
Great video again ! 😀 Is Cyprus as exspensive as Israel ? 😀
No, it's definitely cheaper than Israel, as you'll see in the next few videos. Accommodation in particular is a lot cheaper.
Hotels in Israel can be expensive, but you can get a room or apt on Air BnB for much less. Also there's a lot of good street food that's 1/2 the price of the restaurants.
North Cyprus is definitely cheaper, don’t know about south
Fully watched superb episode from mn smg karnataka India
Nothing disputed about it, it is OCCUPIED.

Second.
Theres not such thing us north Cyprus. Cyprus is one and greek. North part of Cyprus is recognized only from turkey.
👍
top 5
You're first, congrats. ✌️
👍👍👍
DEAR GABRIEL HI, VERY NICE VIDEO BUT DO NOT FORGET TO MENTIONED THAT CYPRUS IS ONE COUNTRY AND NOT NORTH CYPRUS, AS HOPE YOU KNOW CYPRUS DIVIDED IN 2 BY FORCE
PLEASE GO BACK TO HISTORY AND GET MORE INFORMATION... THANKS
There were no worshiping places which were build by greek setlers untill The Ottoman Turks took cyprus from venetians. Greeks had no right to worship christianity. All buildings you see were actually buildt by venetians. The only time greeks were given buildings to practice their religion was when Ottomans took control of Cyprus in 1587. Cyprus which was ruled by different suzerains, but which never in its entire history came under Greek rule, was conquered by the Ottomans in 1571 and ruled by them until 1878 when it was rented to the Biritish..
TRNC❤️
TRNC forever
Change the title pls. It's illegal and unhistorical.
There is no turkish Cyprus or sides.
There is only Republic of Cyprus member of UN and EU
According to multiple UN resolutions north part of Republic of Cyprus is illegally occupied by Turkish army since it invaded in 1974.
Thnx
Another ancient Greek territory occupied by turkish army
Greece is totally occupied Ottoman area. Give back Ottoman territories
3rd
What ..?
Who are you , sir , calling the north occupied areas of Cyprus, as a Country ?
The north part of Cyprus, is occupied by Turkey since 1974
MILITARY OCCUPATION
The majority of all those are still our stolen lands and properties
We expect from you people to RESPECT that
Turkey
Invaded, kicked out the local population,been replaced them till on our days,mainly by Turks,settlers from its mainland.
Ignoring of all of the UN resolutions about peace and justice for the island.
You just wanted to go on holidays on a cheap place .
Well..
at least show ..RESPECT
There's no "disputed country", there's no flag, it's the occupied part of Cyprus 😢 So long, UNSUBSCRIBED
Bye 👋
