You guys are right. That water looks amazing. So clean and clear, it must feel good moving around in it. Love the views and the scenery. So peaceful. That’s guys for the video 👍
So wonderful to see you exploring Samos and Chios! You are so right about North Americans tending to stick with Santorini and Mykonos! There is so much more in Greece to explore! We like to slow travel through the islands by ferry, each year visiting a few more and are now at 35 islands plus areas in the mainland and Peloponnese. (We are fellow Canadians from Nova Scotia.) Greece ….A fabulous country with friendly people, gorgeous beaches, warm turquoise water, reasonably priced accommodation and great food! I’m glad you mentioned the beautiful pebbled beaches….we always travel with water shoes now. That way you can always enjoy the beaches …pebbles, marble stones or sand…no matter! Looking forward to your next video!
Wow Guys, you always finding the finest places to visit to. My wife and I are thinking of visiting Greece and that island is stunning. Is possible that’ll be our destination to vacationing. Thank you for your videos, you Guys explain everything in detail so we get a feeling of how each place you visit really is. Those beaches are as beautiful as DR’s beaches….
Wow!!!! What a beautiful island! The water was a clear as if you were in a pool! Love it! (Watching from London) Great video guys! Also I LOVE Spanakopita!!!!!!!!!! ~Cara ❤
The beach you couldn't remember the name of is Navagos beach. We call it the "Boogie Beach". I do hope you made it to Zakore restaurant (best restaurant in Kokkari). Great to meet you two! Really nice video.
Let's gooo. Samos is the most underrated island in Greece and in my opinion the most naturally beautiful!! It has low number of tourists even in high tourism periods, but it's the most green island out there with a variety of beaches and great ancient and modern monuments. I visit every year and my only complain is some people are a bit grumpy and you have to be careful while driving because of narrow roads full of turns.
🙂💙👍Thank You Trevor & Anna🙂 Another Awesome Adventure the water is so clear i know you said it was pretty cool but i bet a lot warmer than the Bay of Fundy lol. Nice to see no big crowd's and a more laid back atmosphere and not so expensive as other areas Safe Travels 🙂💙👍
Thank you for showing us 2 more Greek Islands, Samos and Chios! Out of the 2, I think we would prefer Samos. The beaches look lovely. We have been to Santorini, Mykynos and Corfu. I think most North Americans visit Santorini and Mykynos because they are the more famous. Also, most people are only able to travel to Greece maybe once in their lifetime, which I think is the reason for going to those islands. We happen to LOVE Santorini, and have been there now 2x. We have done the entire island. We agree it is crazy busy and expensive.....but WOW! We stay for days at a time, so get to experience it when all of the cruise people have left. When it is all lit up at night, there is nothing more beautiful. We are currently planning our 3rd visit to the Greek Islands,, and have decided we HAVE to visit Santorini again. We are currently figuring out which other 2 Greek islands to add. We are thinking of Paros (after watching your videos quite a while ago). and probably Naxos. Crete is also a possibility. I have yet to have a Freddo Cappucino, and it is on my list. :). Keep the Greek videos coming. LOVE IT!
In Lindos, Rhodes and Skiathos it's mostly British. The ocean in some of these Greek islands can be cold so it's better to go when it's very hot in July / August. However the offset is that it's too hot for sightseeing. In Mykonos one day the ocean was full of jelly fish so could not swim. The ocean looks beautiful.
@@DelightfulTravellers Hi Trevor! Ah yes, Naxos has it all and from memory you lived there for a few months! If you enjoyed a greener island like Samos, you would absolutely die for Kefalonia. It has everything you look for in a Greek island!
Great video guys. Just one thing though. SSSHHH let everyone else go to the big islands and leave the smaller ones for those who want to escape the crowds. 😂
You are absolutely correct on Mykonos and Santorini. About the beaches on Samos: on the Northside they are shingle beaches and much more affected by the wind thjat comes from the North mostly. On the other side of Samos you will find the sandy beaches and they are more protected from the wind due to the mountains. Now if you are going to Syros next, you will arrive in the best possible way: by ferry. That will give you the the magnificent view of the 2 cathedrals (Orthodox and Christian) each on their hill above the city.
My wife (before she was my wife) was lucky enough to spend 7 weeks (I joined for 1) in Samos for university geological research nearly a decade ago. Amazing place You also missed out on not going to Samipoula!
Omg you both need to fold me up and take me in one of your luggage bags 😭 everywhere you go is just amazing😩 look at that each! Oh wow so so breathtaking.
As a very "general rule" (for Americans), visiting Myconos or Santorini during June July August is like visiting Vail during Christmas and complain about being crowded and expensive. On the other hand it's still Vail on Christmas so...
Package tours from different countries fly often to different destinations. It is not by purpose visititors from one country may be dominating certain islands or even villages. It is more of a coincidense.
Phylo is the pastry. Philo is a greek inventor. When you said philo first thing that popped in my mind was the museum of ancient technology in athens. Everyone in athens go its great it has a ctesibius section, a heron section, and a philo section. It highlights the automaton these guys invented over 2000 years ago.
hey Guys, welcome from Saskatchewan. When you travel to your set destination. do you book accommodation from Canada or from the city your would currently be in, and how much in advance? thank you for your wonderful, and informative Videos.
The island has many many beaches to swimm But also many things to do and many places to visit !! You need at least 10 days to go around (so hire a car) and say that you had a fair knowledge of what this island has to offer !!!
I maybe wrong but it could be that different countries offer different destinations for package holidays, whilst others do not have a given destination on their list.
You nailed it about North American tourists! 😊 85% of Greece's visitors are Europeans, and they go all over over the country. But North Americans default to Mykonos, because they've *heard* of it, and they're too lazy to research the country. Great videos, you're one of the best Greece Vloggers.
Your comments about certain groups having their spots in greece is so true. Balkan people's love halkidiki and thasos, French and italians love certain cycladic islands. Brits love zakynthos and skiathos. Etc
@@andreimihaesi People from outside Europe, in general, gravitate to Athens + Cyclades. Paros gets a lot of North Americans too, because they want to "island hop". Even if they're staying within the same region, they think they're seeing more of Greece.
to be fair almost all the islands close to the turkish coast arent that good , they are ok just as the turkish coast is but cheaper , they cant compete with almost all the rest , an im not talking about the cyclades , sporades islands are way pretier than dodecanese , ionian islands are better too , they compete with the saronic islands but they loose due to proximity ...
Just stop visiting these... They were meant to be Turkish islands but now they are Greek because the Greeks forced the Turks out after the Greco-Turkish war. It is Susam not Samos! 🐺
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣In ancient times, Samos was an especially rich and powerful city-state, particularly known for its vineyards and wine production.It is home to Pythagoreion and the Heraion of Samos, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that includes the Eupalinian aqueduct, a marvel of ancient engineering. Samos is the birthplace of the Greek philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras, after whom the Pythagorean theorem is named, the philosophers Melissus of Samos and Epicurus, and the astronomer Aristarchus of Samos, the first known individual to propose that the Earth revolves around the Sun. Samian wine was well-known in antiquity and is still produced on the island. The island was governed by the semi-autonomous Principality of Samos under Ottoman suzerainty from 1835 until it joined Greece in March 1913. (Wikipedia)

Well you guys have out done yourselves. It is not even Sunday! Lovely island. I have put it on my list. ❤
It's a mid week Sunday 😉 Syros is coming up next - Anna
What an underrated island! I'm really curious, what are your top 5 overall so far? :)
I don't think we could pick just 5! All of them are so great. Naxos might be our favourite though - Trevor

You also missed out on not going to Samipoula!
That water looks pretty deep for what looks like 50 feet off shore
They also have a form of The Eye in Sicily.
My family comes from Sicily.
We've definitely seen it there too - Anna
Omg you both need to fold me up and take me in one of your luggage bags 😭 everywhere you go is just amazing😩 look at that each! Oh wow so so breathtaking.
Samos is just special! You would luv it Ange - Anna
Kokkari is more then great!!!!!

The bun with the sausage is very Greek. It's a common bakery item. 😊
Oh so good to know! Thanks - Anna

we might go to samos next summer but we have never been in samos so no idea where to go and what to do
Hopefully we gave you some tips! - Trevor

Package tours from different countries fly often to different destinations.
It is not by purpose visititors from one country may be dominating certain islands or even villages. It is more of a coincidense.
Of course! We always say that to each other. It's like every tourist (on each Greek island) buys the same package - Trevor

Rarely from Canada as we're on the road full time more or less. So it's typically in other places (sometimes just a couple days before even) - Trevor
In general end of september is starting to get less touristy. Everywhere.
💯
What’s the best way to get there from Nova Scotia. Athens? Beautiful videos
Yes I'd say Athens... but you never know, Gatwick could have a flight. Also, threw Germany could work - Anna
The island has many many beaches to swimm But also many things to do and many places to visit !! You need at least 10 days to go around (so hire a car) and say that you had a fair knowledge of what this island has to offer !!!

So wonderful to see you exploring Samos and Chios! You are so right about North Americans tending to stick with Santorini and Mykonos! There is so much more in Greece to explore! We like to slow travel through the islands by ferry, each year visiting a few more and are now at 35 islands plus areas in the mainland and Peloponnese. (We are fellow Canadians from Nova Scotia.)
Greece ….A fabulous country with friendly people, gorgeous beaches, warm turquoise water, reasonably priced accommodation and great food! I’m glad you mentioned the beautiful pebbled beaches….we always travel with water shoes now. That way you can always enjoy the beaches …pebbles, marble stones or sand…no matter! Looking forward to your next video!
