Have you ever been or considered going to the beautiful Mani region of southern Peloponnese Gabe?
@@Dinomite921 I don't believe I've been there yet. I think I've only been to the most western peninsula of the Peloponnese. But yes, I would definitely consider going there. All of Greece is worth exploring, but there's a lot to try to see.
how do Greek islands get electricity?
@@uturanku Underwater cables to mainland Greece/autonomous petrol-burning grids/solar panels/wind generators.
@@uturanku Some islands have independent power plants (with oil ,natural gas) ,most of them are (inter)connected to the mainland power network (through underwater cable). Also recently some islands (Tilos) are starting to invest/make use of renewables sources of energy (like sun ,wind...).
Poppy is a credit to Greece, she seems like a great girl
I wish you could do that more “ talking to locals more often , asking about their life and so on….” 👍
agreed
There are other RUclipsrs, for that. This channel is excellent for travel information. Thank goodness. ❤🇬🇷
I agree with you that Greece is a great vacation and even living there. With 6000 islands, no wonder Turkey is so jealous of Greece.
Actually turks (erdogan) think that there are huge amounts of oil /gas on east med (aegean sea ,cretan sea...).
@@jimjim8645 in greek waters
@@AL-grhvc There is not such think as turkish aegean civilization. Turks are (basically) mongols originating from mongolia (central asia). They migrated to eastern europe (byzantine empire) after 1200 ac. and took over by wars that part (konstantinople and minor asia ) from the greeks.

From Greece with love!!
There are parts of Greece (especially the areas the tourists no nothing about) that are so beautiful it takes your breath away..
I say no parts but tottaly. Especialy mainlad Greece have so many surprises even for me that I'm Greek.
Your friend Emilya at the car rental is so very beautiful! That glowing smile and I love how she mentions family being the most important thing. Being Italian I can totally relate! Wow she is an amazingly gorgeous Greek woman and you can tell very down to earth and genuine when she gave you a big hug goodbye! Wonderful woman Gabe! That is the kind of woman every man hopes to find some day but you just cannot find them in the states unfortunately. 💯💯😩😩😍😍💙💙🙏🏼🙏🏼
Nop
Ah the glorious islands of Greece !! What' s not to like . Magnificent scenery,exceptionally nice folks,prices to die for,sunshine forever,turquoise and clear clean waters, and very little hustle and hassle or dudes trying to rip you off at the first chance! If the whole planet took s leaf out of Greece's book,I'm sure life enjoyment would be back again after the last couple of years of the world in lockdown.Go Greece!
Love from India 🇮🇳 very very small village 🙏🙏🏻 most respectfully sir 🙏🏻👨👩👦👦
What a genuinely nice car rental girl and very pretty too!
I've just comeback from Rhodes Island Faliraki, beautiful place lovely people
@@willtherealgeorgemichaelpl5879 it depends where in Faliraki you stay. There are more family friendly corners there, too 😊
I'm Greek when ever I come back to the states i get depressed time to.go home permanently
Hi Gabriel, it was a beautiful stay on Nisyros. I really liked it when you returned the car and you said you had to leave, and Emilya gave you a big hug that was genuinely nice, that was a very warm goodbye. It makes you think about coming back again.
Got to agree that the prices on the lesser visited islands are amazing! The best price that we got was 45 euros for a beachfront apartment in Naxos, and they even charged just 40 euros in cash for us to extend 👌
That isn't bad, Greece is really affordable in general. Are you guys still on the islands or did you move on to another country? It would be great to meet up, but coordinating the schedules of travelers can be tricky.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Unfortunately we left just around the time you arrived in Greece, we are in Turkey now. Coordinating is definitely difficult as the majority of us are usually a week or 2 behind on our video posts, some other vloggers are even months behind. It would have been awesome to meet up but i'm sure we will be in a similar area at some point once again :D We somehow met LifeofJord 3 times on our travels without ever arranging to be in the same place haha. The last time we met him in Beirut and he ended up running into jason billam the next morning without arranging anything, bizarre lol.
Naxos is a very tourist island, it good the price is still good
@@willnash568 I think it's probably only really touristy in the main months of july/august. We were there in mid June and there weren't many people around, many places were completely empty even and only we were there. only Santorini and Mykonos had many people during our trip.
@@JumpingPlaces yeah it actually getting more popular now my mom said, but the peakest time of the year is Mid Juily to end of august.. but its a gorgues island, but I like it begin quite, not crazy full of people..
It was nice watching you chatting to the local Poppy, she was very informative and relaxed
(It's Popi. Short for Penelope :)
Love it that you always list the actual date of the video as a reference- many other bloggers do not. Great video as always.
Emilia is charming.. and had lovely words about her family 👪❤
loved seeing this video. I spent 3 months on Nisyros in 2018 when i was at univeristy doing a geolgoy degree. myself and three mates made geological maps of the volcano for our degrees. So nice to see Popi , Irene's restaurant in the square with the tree, all the familiar faces and memories of the island.
Lucky you
Beautiful place 🏖and I think its not so expensive .Everything looks really cool and the people are very friendly 👍😁Thanks for sharing and take care 😁✌
Greece is great in every way 👍😀❤️🤝
The captain of her heart. Emilia was Very nice and informative .love watching you gabriel
No wonder how I still have the desire to visit it one day
Greetings from Libya to Greece
A lot of ancient Greek colonies in northern Libya...
And a lot of ruins as well
@@xristinaxristina766
Yes indeed and I visit it them whenever I got chance
@@mhd2680 You could have your dna checked as well.
You might be surprised...
All those people who came there from Greece... They never left... Brother...
@@xristinaxristina766
In Libya yeah
There are small minority or Greek descended here in Libya precisely in eastern part of Libya
Are you from Greece ?
@@mhd2680 yes I am.
I live in the northern part of Greece.
I have never been to the islands, that Gabriel visits....
13:50 "Kostantinou kai Elenis" a comedy series from 20 years ago :)
Greece is amazing we will look into Nisyros for future travels
For the longest time, I was set on Italy being my retirement destination. But due to allergies and really needing a drier climate (and I hate humidity) with less vegetation I will give much more consideration to Greece when the time finally comes. Especially Crete.
I'm from the North which can be quite humid, winters are cold , stormy, lots of snow sometimes, summers are hot, Crete on the other hand has a much more temperate climate and international given the large number of foreign nationals living there
Where you in North Italy?
Crete is fine ,if you want a large town you can also consider Athens (dry climate ,less humidity , one and a half months of (Athenian) winter)...
@@jimjim8645 no I'm Greek, North Greece I meant...
@@fishandsugar9278 Sorry ,the question/comment was for yankeedrifter81 not for you...
@@fishandsugar9278 The winters in Greece wouldn't bother me. I can even enjoy the winter in Germany. I'm fine with heat as long as it is dry like in the south of Turkey. I imagine most of your English speaking expats are British. I'm from the U.S. but lived 10 years outside my country so assimilation or getting homesick is never an issue...it's coming back that makes me sad!
I am learning a lot about Greece through your videos. 💙
Thanks to the greek lady for the explanation! Great vid Gabriel 👌
I cant wait to get back to Greece next year. I absolutely love the country and her people. Amazing experiences.
The lady loved you.
It sounds amazing to go on holiday 😍 😀 to Nisiros Island 🏝 😀
Hey Gabriel! I highly suggest that you visit the island of Kythera between Crete and the Peloponese. You will love it!
The secluded beaches there are what dreams are made of..
May be the best island of all
This is a good length video. Love the Greek islands, thanks Gabe!!
ahahahah 13:50 " KONSTANTINOY & ELENIS " a masterpiece ! i thing entered the Guinness record as the most replayed series in the world . Cames from the deep 1998 and playing until now
Enjoy Tilos Gabriel, a beautiful island indeed. Don't miss the visit to the Agios Panteleimonas monastery, a hidden gem🤞!
Dang, I skipped it today. You'll see in the video. Been to a lot of monasteries and decided not to visit that one since it was a little out of the way. What's so special about it?
@@GabrielTravelerVideos
The isolated position on a slope, and the beautiful mosaics inside , don't worry if you missed it this time, I've got the feeling you will come back to Tilos some day for a longer stay maybe because once you discover this island, you fall in love with It for ever 💙
Definitely seemed that prices you paid for quite reasonable for traveler. Your Greek videos definitely make me want to visit Greece one day!
Hi Gabriel! Your Eggplant dinner looked delicious and the restaurant definitely had a nice atmosphere! Greece is so beautiful..☺️
I love Greece. Most places got a few downsides to it but I have a hard time thinking about one for Greece. Last time I was there I got some home made raki from a local restaurant to take home with me.
I'm SO missing my Ελλάδα!!
what a great island Nisyros - i might go for a visit this summer , thanks Gabriel for the tip :)
Gabriel love your long format. You always tell a great story! We love Greece have been several times and find it very friendly & affordable. Awesome video! ~Cara 😊
I totally understand what you mean about preferring a bigger ferry but you have to admit what a peaceful ride to the next island this must have been! So quite and serene!
The water was sooo blue on the ferry wow
Gosh! Those colors today 😍
Been loving the videos always great to see your home country in such a great way love from chilly Australia.
Gabriel I wish you to have the nicest time here in Greece...consider Chalki which is close to Tilos. Both Chalki and Tilos are nice...Tilos is a battery powered island, charged from wind and sun...
Gabe,
This video once again shows that pound for pound you are the most practical, cultured, sophisticated and well traveled guru on @youtube! A couple things I particularly liked, will three things specifically:
1. The Greek Soap Opera TV Show
2. The blonde Greek woman you interviewed.
3. The dark-haired Greek woman that popped in for a sec.
Fantastic video!
That tv show is a sitcom not a soap opera. It's an old show that has been playing everyday for over 20 years on reruns.
@@panoC97 cool 😎
13.50 you stood on the TV. this series started in 1998 and played for 2 seasons. from then until today every year has a repetition in greece. one of the most successful series. nice video
This video was captivating and just the right length...
Lovely young lady conversing with you..
The island is btfl. thanks for sharing!!
You have the best travel videos. You're so genuine, down to earth and have a loving soul. I love Greece and I wish you happy travels. 💕🙏
I can't believe you had that ferry all to yourself!
That's hilarious! 😂😂😂
Thank you Gabriel, your videos are really very useful, interesting and enjoyable, there is kindness and positive in them. While watching it I always smile.
Greece is unique and I learned a lot new and important things. God bless you and your work.
Definitely affordable.. I love the island jumping. It's cheap to do and these small communities with around 1,000 ppl really makes it interesting. I hate big crowds like Paris.. Amsterdam is different the people are so kind.
10:22 LOVED the interview! Do more of those when you can. Especially if they look like her ;)
Most beautiful country in the world no doubt at all!
Wow this is amazing...you even spoke to a local...this video gave us a a clase experience to Greece
That was very cool Gabriel, with the chat to Poppy, you really get the feel of the personal nature of the local people and there love of the island, you should do more meetings with the locals, it gives more perspective of the environment and feel of the islands. 😎
Ότι ο Χάρης Ρώμας και η Ελένη Ράντου θα εμφανίζονταν σε βίντεο του Gabriel,ξεπερνάει και την πιο τρελή φαντασία.
Really love your videos. I have always wanted to visit Greece, but due to my circumstances probably never will...however your videos are the next best thing. Thank you!
Oh god. Gyros used to be like 1.6 euros, then it went to 2 euros+ and now at 3 euros. It's actually mega expensive for our standards and people are going crazy about it.
3euros is cheap given that a cheese pie for example is 2
Beautiful, Gabriel. Thank you 🙏🏼
Go to Kalymnos mate, you’ll love it. I’m there on
the 24th myself. 🙂
Hi Gabriel ! the island you mention and you didn't know the name and that something is going on on it is called Gyali ,is a volcanic located halfway between the south coast of Kos and Nisyros. It consists of rhyolitic obsidian lava domes and pumice deposits. The island has two distinct segments, with the northeastern part almost entirely made of obsidian and the southwestern part of pumice. ! Have a good holidays !
I see, thanks for the info.
I love watching your travels as I feel as if I am with you as you are exploring. I make a few movies to but for memories for me. I love Greece too. My family is from Cyprus but I was born in the uk.
Thank you once again for an interesting video ! 👍🏼
When she said her last name, that was amazing!
Hey Gabe ,finally you fully covered the whole ''gyros theme'' (what is ,cost ,pronunciation...)!
i love seeing ferry boat rides from/to islands
Glad to see you interacting with locals more. You should continue doing that.
I’m glad you’re having a great time in Greece, I just had to endure a cancellation from Belgrade to Sarajevo, now the airlines offered a bus ride so I should arrive tonight.
Interesting, never heard of an airline offering a bus as an alternative. I guess it works since they aren't too far away. Any plans to visit the Bosnian pyramids in Visoko? A nice day tour from Sarajevo.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos I just arrived in Sarajevo 🇧🇦 I took an 8 hour bus from Belgrade. It’s 11pm over here. Unfortunately due to the cancellation of the flight I only have tomorrow morning until tomorrow night to tour Sarajevo. I’m flying back to Stockholm to fly back to California.
13:48 Hahahaha I can't believe they're playing "Konstantinou and Elenis" (direct translation is "Konstantinos's and Eleni's" or Helen's), this is one of the most famous Greek tv series of all time
Great video. I wish there right now.
Thanks, Gabriel.
really enjoyable Gabriel!!!!
nice video, as always!
Haha...Gabriel has definitely upgraded from earlier travel days...what is now considered inexpensive for hotels, meals, rental cars! all relative ha. Tho well-deserved upgrade...have enjoyed many of his posts ✌🏼
γεια. Thanks, Gabriel! Excellent vid: practical info; the food focus was great! Love the abbreviated form: 15-20min is perfect. More interviews please. Mighty blue waters. καλό ταξίδι:
Happy travs.
I got two Gyros for like 6 Euro (there is no Euros, no plural of this word) when I was in Greece, god damn, was so stuffed, couldnt eat next couple days, but was so hungry when I ordered it
You take 2 (pita)gyros only if you are very hungry! Next time better take 1 gyros and a portion of potatoes...
Amazing looking place . My son and co just got off the plane ✈️ an hour ago
Greece a must visit
not watched for a while always enjoy your vids
Cant wait to see your next video 😜
beautiful Greek islands!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice one yet again Gabriel…👍
Beautiful Greece
Just read "Most Hilarious Thing.."... I liked the story on Hwy 50... in 2004 I volunteered at the Telluride Bluegrass Fest then went out to northern Calif then rode Hwy 50 the other way-- from Sacramento to Gallup, New Mexico.... I also stopped in Fallon, NV and even wrote a song about it...
Cool man. Sounds like you're referring to my book "Following My Thumb", which is when I talked about hitchhiking highway 50. "The Most Hilarious Thing..." is a book of fiction stories. Thanks for checking out my book, safe travels. 👍✌
Gabe I was lucky to sail in the grecian waters when I was in US Navy it was so beautiful ....
The Captain is her boyfriend ❤️so romantic!!
Great Video Gabriel 👌. I will have to check out Greece & some of the islands some day. Earlier this year I made it to Istanbul & Bodrum which were Absolutely Amazing. Safe travels. ☘✌.
Greece is a nice country. Love the food. Maybe will visit in November.
That's off season, a lot will be closed and it will be much colder!
Make it October, much better
@@xristinaxristina766 In that case make it the 2 first weeks of October, because I always heard that the Greek summer season ends around 15th of October.
Ooooo.....that water❤️❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful country very nice view!
wow thank you Gabriel for highly recommending The Philippinnes salute for you Sir,
Thank you Gabriel💙🌴😎🌞🦋🐠
thanks. good times.
I love that you pronounce gyro correctly.
For Popi… the ladies name. It’s pronounced “poh-pi”.
Cheers Gabriel. I’m Greek-Canadian. Currently travelling in Greece. Would love to meet you some day.
Wow your Greek island videos are doing well.
great video gabriel. I missed you yet again when you were in Kos. Hope all well . Popi is a good friend of mine also shes a great person. Hope you enjoy tilos and if you are ever back kos this summer or near by we will meet up for a beer. take care and great travels.
Cool, if you see me sometime feel free to say hello.
Hahaha man you are so funny, 13:48 is one of the most classic TV series from the 90s, Konstantinou & Elenis. It’s funny how you captured it for some time. Btw nice lady and her English was great
Wowww thank u so much again for your Wonderful excellent Walk around tour there In my dream travel Destinations 😍 and to live with my family beautiful European Greece 🇬🇷, Very Peaceful Quiet place, and thank u for your nice Walk arou. In Nysirus Greece 🇬🇷 talking with the local people, thanks Godbless from your solid fan supporter viewer from the Philippines 🇵🇭 sir Vhin 😍🙏🙏👏🙂🙂👍👍🙂👏👏👏👏👏
I’m Greek.Greek soap operas are a riot.🤣
What are gas prices like over there these days, Gabe?
Amazingly beautiful country, easy to see why it's one of your favorites.
Great interview!
I wasn't paying attention on Nisyros. But it's 2.60 euros per liter on Tilos. That's more than $10 a gallon. Luckily it isn't a problem because there isn't far to go. I put 10 euros in my motorbike and it lasted for two days.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos on the islands fuel prices are higher, considering the tank transportation by ship.
In many islands price is 2,80 € / lt
In mainland it's 2,40
Six months ago before Puttin's invasion it was 1,60
Watching from Philippines. Nice beaches and cheaper prices here. 😀♥️
Great, thanks for watching.
