Thanks a lot for watching and safe journeys!
Walking those Islands in Greece is spectacular.. just imagine the thousands of years of history and who else walked in those footsteps.
I agree. I can't even wrap my mind around the years of history
if you are into history
@@nitinchauhan7520 Doesn't actually matter. The fact that thet are being inhabitted for over 5 millenials is astonishing
One of the main reasons that I go there. Just to touch some of that history and know that you have become part of it even in a small way !
@@chamade166 says the history fanboy. Other people have different interests that you. Infact dramatically different
Even the rugged and grungy parts of Greece still have some asthetic beauty too it.. Love the videos.. Greece is so beautiful.. I actually teared up seeing some of the beaches. I miss it very much. Your videos help alot in making me feel like im in my home country.
08:30 Not a boat graveyard. They are out of water for defouling and repainting.
Mostly recaulking
dry docked
That water looks amazing.
Absolutely Phenomenal
The water looks stunning from the deep inside.
go back too mexico lmao
Wow the view from your hotel room!
My favourite youtuber alongside harald and bald. You definitely deserve to have as many subscribers as them. Love your Greece vlogs. Looking forward to more
Indigo Traveller is also good, he visits some really dangerous places where most people dare not thread.
This guy started this whole genre. He is the original
We are going to Greece in November 2021. Can't wait !!!
We are waiting for you!! 😊
Where are you going in november? What is the weather like then?
We will probably be in a lockdown then again... I urge you to go straight to an island and stay there.... It can also be a bit cold in November, so make sure to choose an island , or a place, that is to the south of Greece.. Have fun !!!!
Thank you so much for your infromation, xristina!!
Who goes to Greece in November unless you live here? It will be cold windy raining and unless you are on the mainland or one of the big islands everything is closed I hate to say. That's why there is such a price difference with charters or all inclusive deals. May, June July August are the months to go . In september it starts raining.
Love how you show the good and the bad of Greece in this video and in other ones such as showing what the downtown of Athens looks like compared to the Plaka and the Acropolis. It's kept us out of trouble as we have been traveling through Greece the past few weeks.
I appreciate the honesty...the FULL story. The REAL story tooo
that is what keep him real
👍👍
Yeah ok....he goes to an island 15 min from Athens with the ferry that not even Greeks go.
Far from the truth.
Corfu Mykonos Santorini Crete Rhodes Zakynthos etc...and then tell us.
Goes to boat car junkyard lol.
What did you expect to find in a junkyard lol???
@@sachsgs2509 agree, Greek American here. Go to any country’s junkyard or literal trash site, what do you expect it to look like? lol!!
Greece is my next bucket list
Beautiful Greece, thanks Gabriel! The little boatyard was cool. Boats being readied for the season.⛵️🛸 😎
Only in Greece is there a spectacular ocean view even from the dump.
There's no ocean view in Greece.
@@marslife409 only dumps
@@AbdulQadir-vl4bz There's no OCEAN in Greece.
Not ocean view. Only sea view. There is no ocean, in Greece. Only the Mediterranean sea. The best sea in the world. In the middle of earth, as the word itself implies.😁
@@lenaklv4357 Yes, that other sperg already pointed this out. Thanks for showing us how very smart you are. Now, if you had never seen a map, and you were standing there, how do you know it was a sea or an ocean? The point being made was about the view, not about a geographical fact.
I am sure you are always the life of the party.
The water looked very refreshing and relaxing. Thank you thank you for taking us w u on the swim. Swimming 🏊♀️is my favorite
Always happy to see a new video from Gab
My parents were born in Greece. Greece is heaven
Is amazingly beautiful those islands and great 👍 weather for cruising. Have fun Gabriel. Thank you for keeping us tune
It’s a great time to visit the Greek Isles. I love Greece, one of my favourite places for sure!
The Greek goddess at the snack bar @18:16. Wowza! That is reason #1 to go to this island!
Thank you Gabriel! Pristine waters 😎☀️😊 not much tourist yet, perfect touring of Greece! Take care and be safe! More videos coming! ❤
I island hoped through Greece a few years ago. This really brings me back. Thanks for posting
Your Greece videos never fail to make me wish I was there.
Fascinating island! , aponises...and Thank you for sharing your amazing video about greece sir!👍👏
Been wanting to go to Greece for awhile
Out of the traditional European holidays I would pick Greece first.
What an absolute gem of an island. 🏝️ The seashore looks fantastic.
Gabriel, loving all your videos of your Greece and Greek Island trips including my hometown of Cyprus. Thank you for sharing.
I didn’t Tavel to Crete in May cause the Canadian border is still closed. If Canadians want to travel abroad we have to pay $2,000 quarantine 2 days at a hotel near the airport. So lm planing for 5 month stay in Crete Greece early next year 2022 by then all should be 90% back to normal hope to meet up with you there.. great videos so-far on Greece, Gabriel enjoy the blue sky and clear blue beaches ...
The water view from your room was nothing short of spectacular.
Love from Pakistan.God bless you and your family
Thanks and same to you.
I love these locations barely known and out of the "beaten track" so peaceful and eerie although for the standard tourist not a destination
Hi.. Gabriel.. Super landscape... Amazing...Viva Gabriel... Viva Greece.. Magnific 🍀
Gabriel, i've heard that all (or at least most) beaches in Greece are public, not private. So, one can walk the coastlines without being told they are trespassing. Is this true?
Pretty sure that's true.
I'm Greek and I can tell that it's true.
@@eleniasimop Thanks Eleni!
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Thanks Gabe!
All beaches in Greece are PUBLIC
The most amazing beach at Agistri is " Halikiada ". If you ever come back again, spot it. It is about 20' walking distance from" Skala", the place you stayed at. It's really breathtaking; not only the beach, but also the surrounding until you reach it.😊
Nice room, Gabriel 0:45 !
The more of your videos we watch, the more we appreciate your work. Thank you very much from Gabriola Island, British Columbia, Canada.
Cool, never heard of that island. I was born in Vancouver.
I know you probably already know this, but wash the salt off the GoPro. My Gopro 7 fell casualty to the atlantic ocean salt water in the canary islands while I was filming and I didn't even go more than a few meters deep. It says it's good up to 10 m. Great video.. Enjoy summer in Europe!
looking 4wd to your reunion with Travel Edit guy
I wouldn't buy GoPro in the future. The back screen of mine failed out of the sudden without any cause (it had been lying in a cupboard for a short while before I put it there it worked fine and nothing happened to it). So I can't set up most of the functions anymore, only limited functionality with the front LCD.
@@Ozymandias1 which version? And for malfunctions like that GoPro has a 1 year warranty
A blessed good day sir Gabe Wowwww what another Greece island tour beautiful ❤️❤️😍 love it I'm saying again and again one of my dream travel Destinations in European Countries is Greece, very Quiet places highly recommended Vacation for Couples honeymoon family vacation and bonding with friends, thank u sir Gabe for your excellent Wonderful video of Agistri island of Greece keep safe, Godbless u from your solid fan viewer supporter from the Philippines 🇵🇭 sir Vhin 👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙂
Thanks sharing another great tour of another greek island! I look forward to seeing the next one.
1:31 There's the money shot for me, and again at 2:24 Been waiting for you to hit the beach and do the diving into the water scene. Crystal clear water as usual. Hope the water temp isn't too cold at this time of year. This essential Greek island experience, enjoying the the beaches, is what it's all about for me and many others. Keep the good stuff coming, Gabe! Stay safe!
Finally traveling again !
Really good to see you travelling gabe !
You went even to Agistri island.I can’t believe you Gabriel.You’re incredible 😂.
beautiful island
Greece is very nice, a dutch UA-camr Enzo Knol is also there. But looks really nice will watch your older video's of it👍
Wow! That clarity of water, amazing.
Sure its economy is screwed for now - but in terms of history, heritage, food and natural beauty this is one hell of a blessed little country. Off the charts blessed.
Love the way how you travel. Really does take me back to my childhood when I was exploring the Greek islands with my parents, on the back of a bike with my Dad. Nowadays I am doing the same but with my own kids. I am being called "Clark Griswold"
The nature here is just beautiful!! How I’d love to be there right now! Thanks for showing us this amazing place.There’s no avoiding there being junk here & there -personally I don’t find it a big deal. Everything else more than makes up for it❤️
Gabriel, continually impressed with the results you are getting with the Osmo. Keep ‘em coming!
Sweet, glad to hear it.
I love how connected you are by doing what you love! I tend to notice things with you videos often. For example in this video at the start you put Agistri Island population 1142. 1142 to 1200 is 1218. The 1218th moon lunation started on the 10th June!
WOW!!! Great video
4:12 dude, i think you should get a place like that in Greece, and live for ever after :)
Your videos Greece island are great
Beautiful place.This looks like the time to be there. Also nice of you to not flex on the German couple and tell them you been traveling for 30 years
Flex?
Would be awesome if you uploaded more Gabriel.
Thanks for making, sharing `Gabriel....🙏
Man that was an expensive meal wouldn't even really call it Greek mutch less traditional. Try lesvos. It has everything you are looking for. I am living here 20 years moved from Texas and I am still discovering cool places I have never seen on this one Island. Much diversity great food and drink, beaches, shopping or simply chill. Whatever you are looking for its a one stop full Greek experience. Thanks for sharing this
Man, you should visit Spetses (sp?) - pretty small island, but a nice one and you can cycle around it in a day! Went there on a family holiday in ‘97!
I spent 94 and 95 there in the summer. Great place.
Hi Gabriel, There so many beautiful islands that surround Grecce the water is so inviting very relaxing atmosphere.
You are the best!
Love you videos. Thank you.
There are always two sides to every country, I reckon, Gabriel. 😉 Everyplace has its dumps, unsavoury sides, and stuff we all would rather not see. Ha, ha, ha, junkyard doggies. I would recommend walking softly and carrying a big stick! 😁
🌊 The crystal-clear water, in which you are swimming, is breathtakingly beautiful, I have to say! 🌊
Its always what bad you willing to put up with for what good you get but if you dont plan on living there it doesnt really matter
I hope you keep your heath, happiness and wanderlust. And also your magnificent shirts! 😊
The disposal of scrap metal is often a problem on small islands. I've seen abandoned cars, boats etc. on the Spanish Canary Islands and even on some of the outlying islands of the UK to a lesser extent. I suppose there isn't the infrastructure to break and recycle metal in these locations.
It's not "literally a boat graveyard", those boats are being stored and are having their anti-fouling paint re done.
Summer is here again with the restriction of movement of and recess to be enjoyed by most workers .;It's an opportunity to utilize and redirect this funds into life changing investments as to secure financial sustainability!!!!
The world is going digital I'd probably advice everyone to invest more in a crypto portfolio that will generate long term yields while minimizing short term stress.
I have secured financial freedom investing in bonds , equities and digital currencies .
I'm diversifying and recently I added Crypto to my portfolio because of the recent Dip in price
I wanted to invest more in Crypto but I got caught up in the Dip so bad so I had to dump
That's why you need the help of a professional to trade on your behalf if you ever aim to earn income.These professionals understand the market like it's there own farm and generates maximum profit for investors
great job
Great video! I experienced the same thing. There is a lot of beauty but definitely some graffiti or unsafe areas.
Thanks for sharing this video. We don't often get to the the "other" side of many tourist destinations.
You know , this was ammmmmazing video
Hey Gabriel, I am so glad I went back to see this one that got past me. I have definitely got to go to Greece and spend a month or two and do some real exploring. I have a degree in history so I have a real curiosity of what happened and where it happened. Some day soon I hope to get all of my stuff shipped from America to me here in Thailand so I can have what is left of my library. Most of what I kept is all of my research books.
I can read Greek but not without my books. I have always had trouble learning languages but with the right kind of books I can get through most of it. Living next to the Mexican border I picked up a lot of the language and living in Thailand for 14 years I have picked up some of it but not proficient in any of them.
I'll have to keep an eye out for your next video.
I need some Greece in my life. 🤦♂️
You were showing the room and the price, and I thought ehh... a bit expensive. Then I saw the view of the beach. Nice place!
The truth is that, during early June or late May you can easily find much cheaper places to stay. With equally stunning, and even better view. Agistri is a " week end" island, mostly for Athenians. At weekdays, only few people go there, so everything is cheap.😊
Thanks Gab 👍🍺
Wow great waters
OMG ...when u showed the tables n chairs outside the room ...I thought what a crap hotel ..but the room itself is amazing
Thanks for posting this - skillful & informative. Olympic beach, in Greece, is similar with people dumping unwanted items not far from where tourist stay (standing fan, baby-stroller, sofa chairs, etc). The area made me think of the movie "The Lost Boys" (especially with the arcades & night life) - was great fun photographing it.
Awesome video. You've inspired me to take my first ever solo trip. Heading to Athens in late july for my first time in Europe. From there I'm hoping to visit kefalonia and maybe zakynthos. Have you ever been to Kefalonia? The coastline looks incredible and it has plenty of cliffs to jump off of 😃
I'm on Kefalonia now. You'll enjoy it as well as Zakynthos.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Oh wow! What a coincidence! I'm super excited to see your travels there, much love ❤🇬🇷
Kefalonia is amazing! One of the most beautiful islands. I have a video on my channel about our trip there if ya want to check it out. Have a great time!
I am from Kefalonia! If you want tips let me know!
@@GabrielTravelerVideos You ABSOLUTELY have to go to Lefkada. The beaches on the west side are the craziest scenery in the country in my opinion.
Greece a dream land for all people !
Greece.....bravo Gabriel
Wow Gabriel your Greek videos are doing so well
I miss the Greek isles. Would be fun to go back to Angistri ( Swedish spelling). Thanks for the videos.
Beautiful beach. Thanks for showing us places like this. Love from India ❤️
Oh my, beautiful!!
Those rocks at 2:35 do not look random. Maybe they were part of an ancient town that the rise of the sea level has now submerged.
i think you could find the same meal for 10 euros somewhere else, not by the sea. definitely in mainland you wouldn't pay more than 10.
If they served that to Greek people for 20 euros that place would be out of business in one season. I hate watching foreigners get burned. Things will be pricey in some places because of over 10 years of economic collapse and 2 years of covid. The government got 32 billion for covid releaf and the people and businesses have gotten nearly nothing in help as usual and yet these oligarchs can't be gotten rid of. Our government as most countries is full and I MEAN FULL of thieves and corrupt families that do not love their people or appreciate the common man's struggle to do business here. Hopefully one day this can change. Don't confuse Greek government with Greek people. The people are great and will do anything for a stranger. The government however is rotten to the core.
Awesome making
Enjoyed the video. Brilliant intro.
"Is there a junk yard dog around?... [expletive]... there is."
Classic. :)
The timing was perfect. Reminds me of this incident: ua-cam.com/video/xKFDEeP_cr4/v-deo.html
Lovely video Gab...i'd love some fresh calamari and a cold beer at a beach taverna.
Everybody is talking about the water but the real stunning in this video is the girl at 18:15! Mama mia :D
I’m so jealous!
nice video Gabriel Sir
Thanks.
Well, Angistri is not well known even among us Greeks. Thank you for sharing!
Nice video friend 💖
Wonder how many small islands in Greece originally looked like this.....warts and all....
Amazing to find islands that in 20 years will probably be unrecognisable....
19:29 gosh it is almost Eerie how abandoned everything is
Love the intro 😅😅😅😅
How beautiful. Your videos are genuine, natural like you. Everywhere no mens land due to pandemic, destroyed many business around world except China.
How did u manage to travel around in this restrictions of covid-19
Last year I went to countries that were open despite the pandemic, like Mexico, Croatia, Serbia, North Macedonia, Turkey.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Have you ever been to Africa or Tanzania? Zanzibar looks amazing that’s why I’m asking.
Just Egypt and Morocco.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Interested to meet once to travel one day with you. Please visit North-East India.
Keep it up👍
I Love the BLUE, Sweet
Hey Brother man, that dog spooked me also..I don't have luck with dogs either. Been debating heading south towards Greece or buzz to Italy if Asia doesn't open soon, so much chatter and no action yet...
