The statue at 19:50 is of Rupert Brooke, an English soldier and poet who fought in World War 1 and died on a ship off the coast of Skyros, due to a mosquito bite: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rupert_Brooke
It's like a an Indiana Jones adventure! If only I could show you, how much more beautiful this country is! Only locals, can do that,because even though it's a smal country, it has a ton of beauties, that a visitor can't know,visit or even taste (real local food for example and not tourist food, which is almost junk.)
Rupert Brooke was a young English poet who died in Skyros in 1915. Yeats said that he was probably the " handsomest young man in England". His most famous poem is The Soldier.
Mother of Achilleas hid him in the island of Skyros to avoid the Trojan war. He married the daughter of king of Skyros and had a son. Odysseus found him and he joined the war
Gabriel ,living here as a local can be very frustrating. But your videos remind me that this is probably the best holiday destination on the planet. do you agree? I don't think i am being even patriotic saying that. Including everything you want in a destination (safety,good weather,beaches, history ,nice people,good food,locals speaking basic English) it really has it all. Even affordability,if you count what other European countries like Italy or Spain charge for a similar "package"
@@Peter-MHBad economy and bureaucracy are the main issues, along with an illegal invasion of immigrants who are already overtaking by numbers this tiny and rapidly ageing nation
19:48 Rupert Brooke was one of the most famous English poets of the twentieth century. He died in Skyros while serving in the British armed forces during World War I.
Thank you for introducing the island of Skyros. It belongs to the Northern Sporades. You visited Skopelos, Skyatos, Alanisos of this group. I am very interested in those islands. As I have followed your travel for two years, I missed the first three. Anyway, this island is very beautiful and I am looking forward to your videos on Skyros.
Wow amazing you made it to Skyros although initially all ferries were fully booked. There is an endemic horse species on the island. A very small horse as big as a Pony. There are also some Pagan and ancient Greek traditions left which in other parts of Greece didn't survive
The landscapes of Skyros look very wild, similar to Evia which I really like. Very excited for the rest of the series of this unknown and hard to get to island which is a huge positive! I heard somewhere that Skyros is important to the Greek airforce and military because of its remote location, I'm not sure how true that is but it would explain that imposing Byzantine castle you found as it's strategic.
Hi Gabriel, pleasantly surprised by how strategic that Acropolis is. It's a perfect fortification and you had a bunch of different empires that used it for that purpose, most of it still intact. You might want to stop in at this church, Agios Nikolaos.
Gabriel, since you mentioned you booked a flight to Thessaloniki. Visit northeast Greece, my homeland. You can use the buses KTEL and visit Kavala very nice city that remotely resembles Monaco. Then go to Thassos a green island with very good beaches. Then, continue to Xanthi, which has an old preserved town. From there , you visit the lake Vistonida, and you end up at Alexandroupolis, where you catch a ferry to Samothraki, an unknown island, even to Greeks. Finally, Alexandroupolis has an airport with daily fights to Athens and Crete every few days.
Beautiful island! Thanks for showcasing the natural beauty along with the history of this amazing country. I learn something new with each video I watch. 👏👏👏
Been reading up on some Ancient Greek history off the back of this series! Major powers Sparta & Athens fought each other a number of times - usually by proxy first, then directly. Sounds very similar to a certain conflict ongoing today, which may end up direct before long. History repeats.
Skyros was the fourth island alongside Skiathos, Skopelos, and Alonissos belonging to the same island complex, called Northern Sporades, nowadays Skyros is administratively part of Evia island
Ancient Greeks, chose the higher grounds to live, to avoid any Pirate or any other enemy attacks,defend better and be warned earlier. At 3:19, that's a fireplace.That's why the roof has the opening.
Dark Prison Skyros: The hole for water in the Dark Prison of Skyros served a crucial function for the prisoners held there. In such oppressive and harsh conditions, access to water was essential for survival. The hole was designed to allow a limited amount of water to enter the cell, providing prisoners with the bare minimum they needed to stay hydrated. Prisoners would have to rely on this small opening to receive their ration of water, which was often meager. This lack of adequate water supply added to the overall suffering and dehumanization experienced by those imprisoned in the Dark Prison. The presence of the water hole highlights the deliberate and calculated nature of the prison's design, emphasizing the control and power wielded by those in charge over the lives of the prisoners. It serves as a stark reminder of the harsh realities faced by individuals who were confined within its walls.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos It is definitely a cister, all island houses have a cister at their basement, collecting the water from the roof. The hole is where they used to take the water from, to the upper floors of a probably much bigger building and the hole is probably to allow the backet to sink. Might be used as a prison for some time but that was definitely a cister.
Great introduction to Skyros. Looks like it’s going to be another epic adventure. Lots of history and you may even get to swim at the beautiful beaches there.🤞😊❤️
Amazing history and amazing beauty, I have to say that Skyros is one of the most appealing islands I've seen you explore, makes sense as it is harder to reach and likely off the beaten path.
Geia sou, Gabriel! We (my husband and myself) spent Easter in Skyros....we wanted so much to meet you ...now back In Athens. Two of the best places to eat at are Mouries and Agios Petros. The reason why "Dark Prison" at the top of the castle did not make any sense as a huge cistern, was that the door you walked through to go into the "Dark Prison" monument is a modern addition; it was not actually there when the cistern, 7 meters deep, was in use. Enjoy!
@@GabrielTravelerVideos My husband and I were puzzled by it just like you did. The fact about the door is actually mentioned near the end of the text that you read before going in; you missed that part just like we did, and we went back and read the whole thing through, and got to that crucial part of the story of the monument's restoration. I am guessing many people have this experience when visiting the top of the castle. The name is misleading. It was not an actual prison, only a huge cistern.
Crazy you walk up that mountain and no sound from you, haraldo walks 2 stairs and hes huffin and puffing from hes lungs..you hear him breathing like a chainsmoker😂 nice trip, i go to paros in june
@@witlof5492 well could be..idk how he lifes and what he doas besides hes videos. But its funny how he act like a viking but has the endurence from a 80year old chainsmoker❤️😅but hey, i should shut up work on my own endurence🤣
By car I recommend to go to atsitsa, the green part of the island, also I am sure that you will discover the many sandy beaches that the island has, depending on the winds some might have waves, also a part of the island is a military base due to its important location in the Aegean sea
Gabriel, make sure to visit Chalkidiki when you go to Thessaloniki, in particular try to vist the eastern side of the middle penisula and the area around mega portokali beach, it is STUNNING!
Skyros was my first Greek island ever almost 10 years ago and I have very very fond memories of that place. I had spent 2weeks there-5 days and then another obligatory 9 days to heal from a scooter crash I had on the island. It was the most beautiful place to heal and I did a lot of meditating there. Definitely check out Atsitsa Bay if you can. Also check out the beaches by Skyros Palace hotel. Much of one side of the island has very choppy and big waves but the other side by Atsitsa and also Skyros Palace has very very calm lake like waters. You’ll absolutely love it!
That cistern is the remains of a building. Most island houses had a cistern at the basement and a second floor. The roof colects the water. The opening is where they used to take the water out, while the hole on the ground probably for allowing backet to sink.
Hello Gabriel, "Γειά σου, καλησπέρα" As you early mentioned in this video, you are about to visit north Greece in a few days and my thoughts went on how great would it be if you ever have the time to explore our magnificent mountain Olympus! If it ever comes up in your plans, I'd be happy to help you out with some helpful tips perhaps. Thank you for the amazing videos you are giving us..Wish you the best and safe travels!
Fascinating video of the island. Seems very mountainous. Stay safe. Are you going to try to go To Athos peninsula with the Monasteries on the peninsula, when I was there only men allowed. fascinating place and you stay in the Monasteries. Kind regards, Diarmuid Long. Greetings from Southern Ireland
beautiful island...photo and artist paradise.. maybe the hole in the floor could be a hearth and the hole in the ceiling could let the smoke out. and that is the way prisoners were kept warm. probably not, but there is a hole in the ceiling of one of the monuments on the acropolis in athens and it was a portal for the gods. so maybe this is a portal for the gods too. anyway beautiful.
As for the archeological term prehistoric period,it includes the Stone,Iron and Bronze age(dating from 2.5million -1,200yaers B.C).It is an international archeological term for dating artifacts as well as human, animal and plant remains.
Prehistoric means before written historical evidence. So it is different for every place. In Greece this is up to and including Bronze age until about 1100BC. Others define it as the period before the Archaic period, so up to about 800BC.
25 hundred years ago, isn't prehistoric,it's not even close to the thousands of years, that the newer findings prove about Greek and Minoans. Greek history goes way further back in time, compared to what we thought it would. Every now and then, they discover advanced civilizations, under the known ones here in Greece, or on random locations. The last time I read on new archeological findings, they found 2 store buildings, with technology that can't be found until thousands of years later, yet that ancient Greek town,dates 3000+ thousands years,before the early Minoan civilization...Archanthropus of petralona Greece, dates back between 240,000 and 160,000 years old!
Yea Gabriel Nice Shirt , Great colors and designs . You should do a vid - on all your different shirts Kinda like your sandals n shoes thing. GREAT 360 PAN AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS VID.. VERY NICE.
Rupert Brooke. Eng;ish poet. Died during WW1 from sepsis aboard a French hospital ship off Skyros. His grave is on the almost deserted southern part of the island near the restricted area of the Greek Naval base.
Gabriel skyros looks great....I know that on skyros there is a desert area and skyros has its own breed of little ponys... and According to Wikipedia prehistoric means before writen records were kept..
Hi Gabriel, I am so fascinated by the absence of people in these immaculate towns and churches. They are so well maintained and the plants in pots etc so lovely and cared for. Where are they? Who maintains the gorgeous little churches.? Gretchen
Gabe was wondering if you could put Corfu on the list for this trip I hear it’s one of the best islands in Greece. Perhaps you’ve been there but I haven’t seen it
Hello Gabriel. I'm following you for a long time. Have you ever had a wish to visit Athos? You can hike there to the top of the mountain and you like to research Orthodox churches.
hey gabriel idk which part of northern greece you are planning to visit and i know you've been to the archeological site but you defenitely must visit the new museum of Pella and i think there was a new site opened too. Also the tomb of Phillip II too ofc in Vergina.
Hi Gabriel. Long time watcher and you have influenced me to travel myself. I am currently taking a travel year and am near you in Greece. May I suggest the island of Syros (not SKyros). It is a good change of pace and my 7th island on this trip. It has Venetian and French influence on its architecture and has amazing alleys, squares and churches. Highly recommended.
what is the climate in Skyros in July and August? Is it muggy or breezy? are there mosquitoes? wasps? Are the beaches reachable by car? A thousand thanks
I haven't been there at that time but I'm sure it's a good time to go. Probably both hot and breezy. I don't remember bugs being an issue. Yes, you can reach the beaches by car. Go for it, you won't regret it.
I love your 🇬🇷 videos. I am a little curious about so little people around those beautiful islands. Is it because of the Easter holiday, or is it a low population? Seems like no one is at home, no people walking or doing errands.
I think a combination of factors. It's middle of the afternoon and before the tourist season. And a lot of the young people leave the islands to go to Athens or elsewhere.
During the day people work in the fields or feed animals or fish. This island doesn't depend on tourism, they produce their own high quality products, cheese, split peas, various herbs and vegetables, really the best honey!!! What is really unique and impressive is the south part of the island, with bonsai plants and free goats everywhere, also an awarded folk museum .
