I was in Athens for a week three weeks ago and it’s such a memorable place. Seeing those streets makes me want to go back. Have some oregano potato chips for me!
I've always wanted to visit Greece! The Greek Islands are so gorgeous! Thank you for giving me a glimpse of the beauty of Greece! I can't wait to visit there SOON!
There’s some magic with Greece Gabriel…there are similar countries with a different beauty on their islands but no other place quite like GR! Thank you for the Lovely Vids!
Aegina is beautiful and will forever hold a special place in my heart. I was baptized there and for this reason I feel am at the very least, spiritually Greek!
Welcome to Greece Gabriel! Enjoy your stay! My advice for the restaurants is to go where you see most people are heading to, that usually says something about its "reputation"! I was touched to see the church I was baptised in, in your video! 💙
Love Greece..worked 2 summers there in the late 90's..So many islands! i'm very jealous...but really glad your out travelling sharing the experience Gab.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Actually i worked on the Mainland in the South close to Porto Heli and in Halkidiki in the north. but i did venture to some of the islands...Spetses, Poros, Hydra, Skiathos...some others i can't recall. Looking forward to seeing the rest of your island hopping.
How can anyone not like Greece? Seeing all of the empty tables, they really must depend on the tourists, and are hoping that things are back on their way to returning to normal. As you said, it might still be a bit early in the season, but better that than having to deal with the peak summer tourist crowds.
as the owner of the ferry, i feel bad the boat so empty. but for the passengers, it's great to have almost the entire boat to yourself! some good things came out of covid. - really good vid. as all your vids are!
Seeing that Garelli moped brought back so many memories from the mid-eighties. Me and my buddy from high school, would ride an identical one all the way from Athens to Marathon and back. That was a big adventure on such a bike with a lot of pushing involved. Enjoy Greece once again.
Another great video !! Thank you so very much !! Nice to see so many different parts of Greece, other than were I live !! I've seen a lot of the Greek mainland, but of course these videos are more detailed !! Keep having a break after so much hard working !!
Ah great memories this brings me of when I lived not too far from there where you started in Athens, and the train ride that was once my commute to work! Glad to see things are lively again there after the long covid lockdowns.
Sorry, I lived in Greece for 9 years and frequently went to many islands and when I was watching you I could figure out which island you were talking about. LOL 😎Love your channel btw you are awesome 👍
Thank you for practically placing the viewer in your shoes, and being our eyes to this most beautiful, stunning country Greece appears to be. In this lifetime, I’ll never get to it, but I’m certainly getting an excellent taste of the Non-touristy Greece I’d absolutely love to see. Thank you, for making an old person happy, and letting me “see” Greece, as you travel. Ya’Sou.
Would you ever come visit and explore Southern Peloponnese?Mani and Monemvasia definitely worth to pay a visit also Mystras would also be a really cool sight
That's a great idea. Go to Sparti, visit Mystras and then drive over Taygetos mountain all the way to the city of Kalamata and from there you can continue all the way to Mani, which is one of the most unique regions in Greece and one of my personal favorites. Mani and Monemvasia are two of the best preserved medieval places in the country.
I would love to see him travel in the Outback...and maybe Alice Springs, Coober Pedy, Uluru. These are the places in Australia that I find fascinating, not so much Sydney--or Perth--which resemble large cities anywhere. Gabriel doing a "walkabout", exploring cave paintings of the "Dreamtime"---that would be so great!
Gabriel I’d love to see a video of you telling us a few places where you’d live and why, when you finally slow down a bit, with your global travels (hopefully to any time soon!!)... thanks man!
Gab I know you like Greece. If someday you choose to visit Ionian Islands , don't miss to visit a small island called "Meganisi" . You can only get there via Lefkada Island. It's a hidden jem , many Greeks don't now there is such an island there.
Very charming, i bet you are tired 😫 Im tired for you 😴... Thank you for taking us there...ive been to Greece several times and never heard of it, looking forward to see your next vlog trekking up to the monuments/historical sites...I have not been to Greece in many years i really need to go back when we will be authorised once again. Greece is an incredible destination 💙🤍💙🤍💙🤍 Sabrina 🇬🇧
Good to see you going to Greece again. I can't go there, so seeing you exploring it is as close as I can get. Stay longer there and check out more islands for me. Thanks Gabe!
Gabriel, you are always welcome in our beautiful country.🙏✌ I hope you find the opportunity, to visit again the beautiful island of Kos (where I live). I remember your nice video of Kos, three years ago.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Indeed, there are many interest things in Kos to explore. The island of Kos has great sights, historical monuments, nice beaches ...offers many different options for entertainment, nightlife, food, activities ...etc.
Waowwww , Aegina looks amazing , love your vlogs Gabriel , I have to try this island, gonna look at all your other Greek Island films :) I love the Greek Islands 💗 Thanks for sharing
Hey Gabriel I know your inclined spiritually, have you ever visited the holy mount Athos? Hiking around the monasteries sounds very good look forward greatly to your video , cheers
It looks lovely Gabe, yea the season just kicking off! Those ferries are a nightmare and I speak Greek! On my last trip I boarded in Mykonos headed for Naxos, ended up in Piraeus!!!
So cool! The moment I set out to sea, I feel instant relaxation and tranquility,even here in the north. The Mediterranean adds the instant vacation feel to it. Counting down the days to July and watching your videos in the meantime. :)
I did the same trip from Piraeus to Aegina in January 2020 before the pandemic hit Europe. Thanks, this brings back memories. Btw, the pistachios they sell at the harbor are really good.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos It;s known also as the Leonard Cohen island.It is also the place where the movie Phaedra was filmed (Anthony Perkins - Melina Merkouri)
Hey Gabriel, that music started playing at the end and I wanted to get up and start dancing. Enjoy your stay on the island and I will try to catch each of your videos. Wish I was there with you my friend but I will just have to hunker down here in Bangkok Thailand and eat all of that nasty Thai food. L O L
So nice to see you again in Hellas and to see Aegian sea again...Enjoy summer in Greece, hope you ll visit Kefalonia, so many hidden beaches etc, i m planning for end of jun so will buy you cold Mythos if we meet :)
Love how you didn't know which ship line you were going on, that's funny! Piraeus Port is pretty crazy. We rode Blue Star out to the islands and Anek Lines on the way back.
No intention to make an advertisement, but I have used an app for the position of all the ships around my location. It is called marine traffic. It can be very helpful. But I think there is some niche here for a more specialized app, like scanning your paper ticket and giving you instructions how to get to where the ship is.
At 18:47 in that fixer-upper I could see a pigeon in the upper left. Maybe some accommodation could be made there. Just blocking the view would make a fine tent site. The pigeon might not mind. Finding the owners and records might be a good trick? Thanks for a discrete hip-camp idea for this winter.
Welcome to my island Gab!! Klima beach in south Aigina is great especially if you have a car!! Sotos beach café in Agia Marina also attracts many locals (however i am not sure if it is opened now). Moni island is also a great option if you want to swim to crystal clear waters next to deers and peacocks. Pistachios and all the pistachio sweats are a must!!!
The ferry looked relatively empty. Was it a smooth or bumpy ride? 🤔 Wow u negotiated the stress of finding the ⛴ferry like a pro! Thanks for sharing that part The jux to position of the stress of boarding to the relaxing on board...brilliant filming 🎥 and story telling.
Hoping you stay for at least a WEEK! I realize you up load after you have left a desitation...so I'm just hoping u took time to rest and enjoy. On camera...This island 🏝felt soooo much more clean and relaxing than the city u left.
I arrived in Athens yesterday. I was shocked to hear so many American all accents around me -- can't blame them, if I was locked away from Europe for 1.5yrs, I'd be back as soon as it's open.
I've been to Aegina. Such a humble and calm island. Rented an old Suzuki 4x4 and went around the island stopping at snorkel spots and just enjoying the views and picturesque chapels on top of hills. I prefer these kinds of Islands to the more popular ones. I really don't consider Mykonos and Santorini part of Greek culture and lifestyle as they've been overturned by tourism during the past few decades and are just money sinks at that point.
Hi Gabe, Greek islands looks great. Beautiful and mesmerising! Just curious. Are you fond of train journeys? For instance, the Zephyr, Starlight, Ghan, and Eastern Oriental? Also, have you been to Russia and taken the awesome Trans-Siberian? I love trains.
Gabriel if you come Northern in the mainland later on always invited to Visit Olympus Mountain old Panteleimon Village i can show you around and give you info about places you could visit! Thanks enjoy your trip
I've booked my flight to Athens this Sunday, great to see you made a video around the same time! Shame about outdoor masks..hopefully will end soon... Can't wait to get back to the Greek islands soon!
I was in Athens for a week three weeks ago and it’s such a memorable place. Seeing those streets makes me want to go back. Have some oregano potato chips for me!
I so much nned to come again to Greece this september... Done it for 5 years and skipped last one... Greece is good for the soul!
Since we cannot change reality, let us change the eyes which see reality.......Greece is amazing!!!!
Oh yeah! Summer, Greece, sea, clear sky, unpolluted air....
Unpolluted? Sorry it's polluted almost everywhere
@@Pathrissia not on the islands mate
I've always wanted to visit Greece! The Greek Islands are so gorgeous! Thank you for giving me a glimpse of the beauty of Greece! I can't wait to visit there SOON!
Greece 🇬🇷 is just a fantastic place.
Welcome back to Greece Gabriel have a fantastic journey buddy
The scenes at 18:02 and 19:08 so charming I can see why you like the Greek islands so much .
There’s some magic with Greece Gabriel…there are similar countries with a different beauty on their islands but no other place quite like GR! Thank you for the Lovely Vids!
It's the civilization of aegian people that goes on and on for millenia that makes this place so unique!
Well said Philip
I first discovered your videos when I moved to Crete in Greece and searched for it. So many nice islands!
Cool man. Yeah so many islands to explore, you could spend a lifetime. :)
Aegina is beautiful and will forever hold a special place in my heart. I was baptized there and for this reason I feel am at the very least, spiritually Greek!
Wow baptized Orthodox?
Welcome to Greece Gabriel! Enjoy your stay! My advice for the restaurants is to go where you see most people are heading to, that usually says something about its "reputation"! I was touched to see the church I was baptised in, in your video! 💙
Greece meal is amazing. Once i visited Athens and tasted this delicious food. Big meat, potato, vegetables plates on
Welcome back to Greece Gabriel 🥰
Thanks, great to be back.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Will you visiting Kos... Rodos?
All the Greek islands are fantastic great video Gabe
Love Greece..worked 2 summers there in the late 90's..So many islands! i'm very jealous...but really glad your out travelling sharing the experience Gab.

I see. The Halkidiki peninsula is definitely on my list to visit. I haven't been to any of the islands you mentioned. A lot to see in Greece.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Well Thessaloniki is worth a visit Gab and thanks for the response
Gabe + Greek Islands = Awesomeness
Thank you for making this beautiful video's about my country. Hope to see you in Crete soon!
Aww Gabriel 😊😎☀️ thank you for the sights of beautiful Greece! Stay safe! Can't wait to see more! ❤
Innocence and kindness, two traditional American qualities which are so obvious in you Gabriel! Welcome again to our country! Thank you indeed!

Thanks for a smooth ride! Hopefully more tourists will come soon.
You can’t beat the Greek Islands.
What is Albania?
its the land of marko from tropoja, he was found and he was killed...better have a life insurance if u travel to such places
Miami Heat 😂😂😂😂😂
@Miami Heat sit down
Miami Heat you know ...your sister

4:12 wow I remember taking the Blue Star ferry from Igoumenitsa to Venice back in the summer of 2006..just to see that revived the memories..
Beautiful Greece⛲️ amazing music🎵
Hey gabriel, your greece videos are always the best. Also your new sandels are FIRE!!
good to see Greece again in your videos. its been awhile!
The water looks stunning and seeing the birds flying along the ferry was really a charming experience.
Greek islands! The best destination for summer holidays!
Another great video !!
Thank you so very much !!
Nice to see so many different parts of Greece, other than were I live !!
I've seen a lot of the Greek mainland, but of course these videos are more detailed !!
Keep having a break after so much hard working !!
I love the way you changed your clothes on board just by clicking your fingers! Amazing...😃😃😃😄
Greece, Nepal, and India are some of my favorite countries I’ve enjoyed seeing you visit on multiple occasions.
Gabe is living it up in Greece!
Ah great memories this brings me of when I lived not too far from there where you started in Athens, and the train ride that was once my commute to work! Glad to see things are lively again there after the long covid lockdowns.
Nice video Gabriel. Thanks. I was there in 1988 and it was beautiful. Quite a few little temples dotted all over. Hope you enjoy it. Stay safe.
The whole ferry to yourself these days Gabe, a ferry and a beer make a super great pairing👍👍 🇬🇷
Sorry, I lived in Greece for 9 years and frequently went to many islands and when I was watching you I could figure out which island you were talking about. LOL 😎Love your channel btw you are awesome 👍

Love the little greek churches 💙
They are what makes Greece truly special, you will find them everywhere, mountain tops, beaches, all over👍
There are islands with many churches... Tinos for example
Love your videos. Inspires me to get out every day and explore thank you

And the Elafonisos, maybe a ferry to Kythira?!
Love that you can travel so much and then share it with the world. Always love your videos Gabriel. You should come to Australia sometime.
I would love to see him travel in the Outback...and maybe Alice Springs, Coober Pedy, Uluru.
