Thanks a lot for watching and safe journeys!
Here's Part 1 in which I talk more about the prices of hotels, rental cars, food and ferries while traveling in Greece: ua-cam.com/video/xoc2Qfjizn8/v-deo.html
The flag of Greece contains nine equal, horizontal and alternating white and blue parallel stripes.
The blue and white color symbolize the colors of the Greek sky and sea.
The nine stripes correspond to the syllables of the historical phrase "Freedom or Death", "Ελευθερία ή Θάνατος" as well as to the letters of the word "Ελευθερία" "Freedom"
The Cross symbolizes our religion and the 4 points of the horizon.
The official flag of the state has another detail, which is found only in public service buildings and in the army.
The pole is white and has a white sphere with a cross on its head
this is the meaning and symbolism of the Greek flag
very good presentation for all the places you have visited, I would say objective, thank you very much my friend
ΠΕΣΟΝΤΕΣ = PESÓNTES -
The Fallen
(memorial for those killed in the field of battle)
Nothing better than opening UA-cam with my coffee in the morning to see Gabriel discovering a NEW Greek island! 😎🇬🇷
The euphoric feeling in your heart you must experience when visiting these wonderful ,charming ,outstanding islands of Greece, is to my mind unimaginable. Large, medium, or small sized islands ,it makes no difference to the joyous sight of paradise.
jurassic world came to mind
What exactly is charming on a dry rock? Almost no vegetation, too hot to go biking. Even too warm for hiking. The small villages, though, are very nice.
@@sonntagskindlein so you can visit those islands at Autumn, also there are so many green islands for your taste
@@sonntagskindlein I always thought charming meant pleasant , delightful, beautiful etc. You obviously did not see the waterfront, coastal views or the hotel backdrop and surroundings! Why can't someone these days opine a subject without a snide comment! It was only an opinion, no one got hurt! It's all good !!
@@johncopeland3826 You have been talking about the islands, which includes their nature, but not the sea around them. Looking at an entire island it‘s a dry rock. Either only in summer or the whole year. It‘s not like Scotland. But still, the little villages on these islands are indeed charming, the rest just isn‘t.
Τῆλος -Tilos ,Mythological named from the son of Alias ,sister of Helios (sun).
During the 7th century BC ,Tilos and Rodos(Rhodes) founded the colony of Gelas in Sicily.
The monument on 7:35 is a monument to the fallen of Greek revolution against Ottoman empire.
The whole island is a huge ecological park and is protected by international conditions.
An island with rugged, mountainous but verdant volumes, with hills and valleys where four hundred species of flowers and herbs grow, live many species of rare birds (eagles, hawks, nightingales, goldfinches, herons, bee-eaters, etc.)
The thing I like about Gabriel is, is his videos are so easy to watch. He takes on the journey with him, it's never, Oh look at me, it's always about the city/town/forest/island he is visiting. This island looks a great little spot to get away from it all.
Gabe should be getting paid by the Greek tourist board! Literally planning a trip in my head while watching this!..
No, he'd lose his independent ways.
In this ever hostile world full of insanity it is a blessing to unwind in Greece with you!
Love from India 🇮🇳 very very small village 🙏🏻🙏🏻
nice vlogs
Gabe your videos are like Greece: Enjoyment!
All the small islands you have shown are so clean. Don't see any rubbish strewn around. Even the water in the bay looked clean with no garbage floating around. Thumbs up to the civic authorities who maintain the public places..
7:40 It`s a war memorial. It says "πεσόντεσ" (pesóntes) and means The Fallen. Greetings from Paraná, Argentina
That's the same hotel I stayed in when I toured the Dodecanese in 2019. It was even better value then - 160 euros for the week, including breakfast. I liked Tilos a lot - the clear water, the warm breezes, the relaxed pace. There's a bus leaves the little town square in Livadia every morning for Megali Chora and the northern end of the island. I took it several times to get to Eristos Beach - it's a big picturesque bay, and I had it nearly all to myself every time I went. Like you, Greece is my favorite place. I've been traveling Europe over the summer for the last decade (though not 2020 or 21), currently in the Canary Islands, but will be back in Greece next month. Can't wait.
Awesome, enjoy the Canaries. 😎
Maybe you should set up a you tube channel too :)
This is supposed to be the first green island in europe. All needs of electricity stem from renewable resources on the island. Check this out, too. The university, for which i work, is the coordinator kf this research project. Take care, enjoy yourself!
I visited Tilos many many years ago and stayed up in the old village. It was really rustic, and wonderful. Its an island I keep on meaning to return to. Just very relaxed
I don't think u realised how lovely this island is it's shocked u
Been coming to USA for 21 yrs still the best country in the world
so beautiful ..nothing better in the world for that price
18:36
that's the original fiat 500 from 1957.. About 500 cc and 13 hp!!! There was a sport version also, it had 21 - 22 hp... Very common car at the time
Cool.
Beautiful island
Hello, Gabriel. Making Horiatiki Salad tonight for myself and my wife as it's so hot here in England. Greek food is my favourite. Good audio. Those insect sounds - at first they're scary; after a while they're not, bit Eraserhead. Love it man 👍👍
you finally found paradise
Thank you Gabriel for this video. I grew up on the island of Samos but I live in Australia now. I missed all the sounds and smells of Greece, like church bells ringing, the cicadas and the friendly people. Very much appreciate everything you do
18:25
Fiat 500. 1957-1977
Gabriel really you should be a honorary citizen of Greece. Thanks again for your fantastic Greek island series. What an amazing island Tilos is. I've never been there
❤️ from 🇬🇷
Awesome, I love taking ferries in Greece 🇬🇷 greetings from Sarajevo 🇧🇦 sadly my European trip ends tomorrow as I fly back to California.
I thought you were the boxer Anthony Joshua for a second there 🤣
@@no_soy_rubio haha 😂 I get that a lot
Gabe your Greek videos are amazing I watch them 2X because I feel like I am back in Greece
If you're still there when you read this please make sure to visit Megalo Horio and Mikro Horio which are inland. Mikro Horio is actually an abandoned village which I think you'd find interesting. Also there's a museum about dwarf elephants in Megalo Horio and a cave nearby where they were found. It wasn't open to the public (the cave) when I was there but it's been many years.
Yep, all that will be in the next video, just finished it.
My favorite videos are from India, Greece, Mexico and Iceland, in that order.
Love the view of islands being close to each other really beautiful it is
You need to go to next Village called Megalo Chorio. There is a medieval castle on top built by the knights of st. john. There is also a monestary on the other side of the island called St. pantelemion. There are great hiking and trails on this tiny island.
Castle is in a bad state...neglected.
You've made it very easy to choose Greece as a travel destination. Not epic beaches IMO but nice water and chilled atmosphere. Definitely on my bucket list. The food doesn't appeal to me that much from what I've seen. But I love Olives.
What a stunning Greek Island. Your hotel is value packed for the price. Cheese, crackers and olives with a beer looks like a great dinner :) Following your Greek journey eagerly.
Gabriel, you are the best damn travel channel on UA-cam
Stay Safe my friend and happy travels
Thanks Gabriel, you’re a great guide and it’s so nice to see Greece at this time of year. I was in Skopelos a couple of years ago and it was really nice. I don’t know if you’ve been there but Skopelos town is really nice and also Panormas beach is really nice and there is a great beach bar there that serves great food. Also wonderful swimming at that beach. Cheers
Wow what a gem of an island! We can feel your love for Greece in every video. Tilos looks so pretty. I always love it when you show us your accommodation too! Have an amazing time there Gabriel!
I’m glad you’re taking us to visit off the beaten track Greek islands. Tilos looks so pretty and mysterious I can’t wait to see more!
Sabrina🇫🇷🇬🇧
i would stay there for 2 months
Damn, Gabe struck gold with Tilos!
Pretty little island and I hear the first to run on solar and wind trying to be less dependent of Kos underwater cables 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💙💙💙♻️♻️♻️♻️
Gotta love Greece! One of the most mountainous islands I've been on is Ikaria!
Speaking of prices.

As Austrians, we vacationed in Croatia in the 1990s, during the Balkan War. On the island of Cres in the village of Valun. At that time still an absolute insider tip, today a tourist hotspot.
At that time, I gave the waiter 60 Austrian schillings as a tip (4.40€)
The waiter then closed the restaurant, and he spent the rest of the day with us tourists.
Those were the days in the 1990s...
Croatia nowadays is becoming more expensive than Austria :D
@@RevanSK Traurig aber wahr. Die Kroaten müssen auch mit der Zeit gehen.
Shout out to the men who laid so many flag stones, some great masonry work. They never get credit.
Gabriel it's an amazing amazing video, you are shooting the most beautiful views. I'm from Greek but my family run away many years ago from one of the islands opposite of the coast of Ismir , they told us it was a hard time. I really like to visit these islands again . Thank you very much Gabe for sharing us all the details . I'm waiting inpatient your next video . Greece is Heaven on Earth earth 😘👏
Greece is so wonderful. I’m going in August ❤
Lovely to see you sail into tilos Gabe and see your enthusiasm for the chance to discover explore a whole new island, your hotel is lovely and a great bargain price this island would be perfect for a couple on honeymoon who wanted to just escape from it all and have peace and quiet to themselfs i presume the per night price of your hotel room is the same price for a couple to stay the night as it is for a single person staying per night it looks very quiet on tilos mind you it also looked quiet on nisyros for the time of year ,but possibly tilos is always a lot quieter even in high season than other islands . looking forward to seeing more of tilos .happy travels
One of my favourite authors, Jennifer Barclay, lives on Tilos! She's written several great books about living on the island/hiking etc. She also has a lovely Golden Retriever called Lisa. Maybe you'll see them wandering around the island :)
Enjoy . Gorgeous 😍. Cheap 5 star hotel. You got this. My feet would grow roots for two weeks. Great food beach. Swimming pool. Ferry rides. Wow
Awesome, looking forward to seeing more of the island. The water looked amazing 😍 I'd never heard of Tilos either! 35 Islands huh, only approx 5,965 to go 😉 btw komoot and alltrails are good apps to find hiking trails worldwide
Only 5965🤣🤣🤣🤣 He's been to more islands than the locals have
Bluest water on the planet?
habitat islands about 200
@@visionfoxtrot don't have to be habitated for you to visit them 😉
@@no_soy_rubio see one rock island seen them all ,right ?
These doors in the fields are very common on the islands, usually they are in place to prevent goats from leaving their fields ☺️ You can pass through but have to close them. 🐐
Awesome video ! Me and my wife are Greek, living abroad, and your videos make us nostalgic and eager to visit the Greek islands asap :p
Amazing
You are my favorite travel blogger! I even bought your book!! Hope you are doing well (:
Thanks, enjoy the reading.
Fantastic job Gabriel your videos are so good it’s like I am there. Thank you so much.
Love from U.K
It's amazing to discover quiet little islands....maybe the locals would welcome extra income from increased numbers, but that comes with a bigger cost!!!
Quiet and beautiful is good.....let the party people enjoy their commercialised Greek islands...and let's keep these gems a secret ......
So beautiful. Crazy happenings here.. train strikes, flights being cancelled etc etc so your vlogs are relaxing and I can escape for a while. Love them
Glad you are in your favourite country :)
I LOVE that this island is so empty with beaches that you don't have to pay extortion..Love the hotel too..overall, so peaceful, exactly the kind of place to take a vacation 💯⭐️
Yes, what an idyllic island. Sure looks interesting. So nice and peaceful and looks very clean. You should retire someday in Greece. 🇬🇷
The name of the island with the mining operation off the coast of Nisyros is Yali. They mine pumice. In a comment on a previous video, I mentioned that I'd stayed at a workers' hostel when visiting Nysiros in 1972. The hostel where I stayed provided rooms for the workers who went to work in Yali in the morning, returning to Nisyros at the end of the day.
Outstanding, I wasn't a Greek fan but because of Gabriel 's trip I changed my opinion completely. Thanks man 😀
I think you should apply for Greek citizenship, Great vid as usual and have a great visit to number 35 👍
Nice place 👍😁Thanks for sharing
I cant believe you found Craft beer. It's made by a small brewery and isnt available everywhere. Great beer. Mythos , Alfa etc are just commercial beers. Greece makes some amazing beer, like Septum, Khirki, Red Donkey and many more
I've never seen those other ones, I'll keep my eyes open for them. When I was at the airport I came across Corfu beer and got the red ale, it was really good.
Hi Gabriel, what an amazing location this Tilos is so far, I find it more interesting than Nisyros. The volcano on Nisyros is the main attraction Tilos seems larger with more of a mountain area. I'm sure you'll find out more about what the Island has to offer in terms of sites but with many of the Islands, it can't be that much different in terms of things to do and see there, all the islands are beautiful in their own way. Of course, some offer more for tourists, and some are more secluded, it's just a question of where you want to go to.
thanks gabriel, same love for greece many thanks from the netherlands!
I love you showing your simple 'tea' or supper and drinks and costs. The bay the boat was in, how lovely! Can't wait to see more. Saw you posted and grabbed myself a large cup of tea to sit and relax watching you relax in beautiful surroundings. What a lovely life you have.
Awesome Island. Loved the Hotel. Cheers Gabriel ☘✌.
What a lovely day.
Looking forward to more videos of this Island. Looks beautiful!!!
Looks lovely there. Looking forward to seeing part 2 x
Tilos is where serenity is at!
Try also Symi island

wow...was so interesting.. cant wait for the next vlog!!
An amazing island so different from the rest.Its epic that the water is right next to the houses.
This place has such a nice vibe! Thanks for the show, Gabriel!
Hey Gabriel, enjoyed your boat ride and your your hike. That's one of the things I enjoy the most when I go on one of your journeys ,I get to explore with you places that most people even know about. Even the locals too.
Love it Gabe 👍.. What a place that looks.. 🇬🇷
Awesome, doing a great job narrating and showing Greece. Thank you.
amazing!!good job bro!!
Hi Gabrial that looks like a great little island great camera work thanks I enjoyed that upload
When I'm in Greece my favorite sound & aroma are the cicadas on a pretty summer day and fresh bread wafting from the bakery. 🤗
Looking forward to videos from that Iland Gabriel 👍 😀 🤝 🇸🇪
Thanks for another video Gabe
Always enjoy watching your videos Gabriel
What a beautiful place! On my bucket list...
It's a beautiful unspoilt island one I've never heard of would love to visit it one day soon thanks for sharing.
That’s spectacular
yassas . nice photo shots. your are more than a traveler. you have to show passport at desk? changed from my travels years ago. the stone and concrete work is nice.thanks and yamas
Hi Terrie 👋 I was going to ask the passport question too. I know you have to in some countries, but I didn't know it was the case in Greece. What a beautiful island Gabe. I'm so looking forward to watching your adventures 😊
Most places don't ask for it. It's a bit random. When I checked in to my hotel today he just asked my name and then handed me the key, it took ten seconds since the bill was paid online.
Wow wow so beautiful and relaxing place.No 🚗 no noise no traffic safe please no wild animals amazing ,thanks Gabriel for all beautiful programs and details you are providing
This island looks fantastic. Love the music .🎼🎶👍😊
Soo Beautiful 🇬🇷
My heart skipped a few bits watching this amazing place. It's my kind of a Greek Island holiday, without the crowds and and tacky tourist shops and the umbrellas on the beach hiding the view, and the motor bikes disturbing the serenity. Man, oh! man this is like the Greek islands used to be before the mob of terrorists and the ugly cruise ships.. arrived in Greece. You look so happy Gabriel, I understand why. Thank you , thank you
🥰🥰🥰 Love back to you Gabriel. Looking forward to you videos from Fiji.
this is stunning , Gabriel. I CAN REALLY FEEL YOUR GREEK WANDERLUST ARRIVING HERE!!!!! GREAT VIBES!!!! mAN!
Very nice filming and introduction， thanks for taking me to visit the beautiful and quiet island.
Hello Gabriel, amazing video one more time! What do u think about Greece as a hiking destination? There seem to be a lot of trails and I love hiking
It's ultimate for hiking. I went on a great hike on Tilos which will be in an upcoming video.
Great video. You seem so at home in Greece, one of my favourite places to go 👍 enjoy your stay
At the Warriors Monlolith is inscribed with the Greek word “Fallen”, therefore a memorial to the dead.
You are excellent guide Gabrielle…Thanks a lot..
10:00 I exactly feel the same about cicada sound along the Aegean coast, and then there is this bird accompanying them..totally gives me the peace of summer vacation vibes 💛
The birds are called dekaoktoures (that's what the Greeks call them) . The birds are chirping "dekaokto", which means "eighteen" in Greek. Lol
Great video!
Great place
