It was great meeting you @gabrieltravelervideos! it was my pleasure to show you around Greece (Spetses island) a little bit! I am glad we met as I have gotten tips to where to go to some Greek Islands that you have been before me and this is how I have discovered your channel and watching your videos for the past couple years 😄 Until next time! have lovely travels ✈🌎
Gabriel, the intrepid! Great that locals (everywhere!) have so taken to you. It really pays to have people you feel you can trust to show you and lay of the land, doesn't it?
Feta cheese has never been high on my "must have", "needs must" list.
Gabriel, would it be rude to ask for a Greek salad without Feta cheese?
Also, if you food arrived cold, please ask that it be reheated / warmed up. Doing so is NOT rude, I know. If you are paying for a main course which you have always been led to believe will be hot, then ... well, it should be hot!
The cave was really impressive thank you Gabe for taking us with you 😀😀😀😀😀
Was great he got a personal cave guide too!! Great video!!
What really gets me about the Greek islands is that every single one seems like it’s own little world. It’s own little paradise far from the chaos and the crime and the stormy political arena that seems to have plagued the western world in recent years (mainly the US) And every island reminds you that there is still great beauty and tranquility to be found on this crazy planet of ours. Another great video Gabe keep ‘em comin!
wow, amazing drone footage. incredible place! I understand why Greece is your favourite country 🤩
And that's an average place in Greece. Still beautiful tho.
It’s really cool that people recognize you. My favorite part of your videos is from beginning to end.
Thank you Gabe for taking us with you😊
Boy o Boy...can't beat that Greek food!!! Grreat video! Love the drone footage!! Cheers
It’s bizarre how bad the weather has been this spring, we did a boat tour with a guy that’s been doing it for 35 years and he said it’s the worst spring weather he’s ever seen in Greece. Loving the group of islands that you have been visiting so far though 👌
It was pouring down rain here on Poros yesterday morning. But it looks like today might finally be the beginning of the Greek summer, lots of sunshine in the forecast.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos if there's one thing to learn from the forecast is not to trust it lol
It’s been pretty warm and sunny in the Ireland and the uk thou
Unfortunately, although people don't want to believe it, but its because of chemtrails, and by the way I also watch ur channel 👍
That cave was awesome 😀😎☀️🌊❤️
The Drone footage is great, but I don't think you need one Gabe, I like the grounded style of your channel and its one of the things that makes yours different.
He knows that...It's obviously footage from the Greek guy. When has Gabe ever used a drone for his videos🙃
@@andreww3621 Yes I know that, but because of all the comments saying how much they love the drone I was just saying what I think. Its totally up to him of course
Pretty epic drone footage DAMN! Pretty clustered development, packed tight….whole backdrop of the island looks wide open. Hydra was a ghost town compared to where you’re at lol
A blessed good day sir Gabe wnf worth your friend Nicholas,. Wowww so Cool Inside the Cave, with Clear Water, and Beautiful 🤩 Lovely Island of Spetses, and Beaches, and Amazing 😍 Drone Shot of the Island
Thank you so sir Gabe, and Nicholas for your wonderful walk around tour video how Beautiful is Spetses Island of Greece 🇬🇷😍 I love it stay safe and Godbless from the Philippines 🇵🇭 sir Marvin,👏❤️👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏👍🙂
Love the drone shots Gabe!
Woah, that drone shot 😯😍
The drone footage in the beginning of the video got me excited thinking Gabe has purchased a drone which would mean lot more of such footage in the future :D
Such a beautiful country said 🤗and the beaches looks amazing 🤗great video 👍😁Thanks for sharing and take care 😁✌
welcome back home
I rate your ability to tell a story very highly
Fantastic tour of the island. Love it. Poros is a beautiful island too and also Galatas opposite of that island
Fantastic especialy when the sun appeared , I 💙Greece
Great video and a lovely place..peaceful,I am just getting caught back up with these videos as I was in Italy 🇮🇹 for 2 weeks touring around.
Oh, so interesting!
Thanks, Gabriel!!!😊😅😊
Hi from Istanbul and Sv. Vlas!!!
Beautiful
Great editing in this one!!
Hi 👋 Coolamundo cave exploring!! ✌️
Man oh man, Spetses is really expensive, I had forgotten that. In other islands or on the mainland you could have these two meals you showed us paying at least 10-15 € less for each.
there are much cheaper and local places to eat, he was paying Beach Club prices especially the last location.
this is great ! thank you for the video. love it. see you
For all the satellites the weather bureau have and still way off in the UK too
Hey Gabriel! Not sure if you read my comment in the previous video but just in case you should check the island of Lesbos or Mytilene on North Aegean Sea. It’s the third biggest island, many castles including the biggest on all of Mediterranean, has the petrified forest, a unesco geopark, mountains, beaches, villages that would look like the villages in Italy, monasteries that people from all over Greece come and the best, it’s cheap. Because thankfully not so many tourists from other countries visit it the prices are really affordable and more cheap. Would love to see a trip over there in the future!
It's definitely on the list, along with a lot of other islands so we'll see where I end up going on this trip. ✌️😎
@@GabrielTravelerVideos I have a feeling you will really Love Lesvos & some of the other North Aegean islands too!
Thank you for sharing your adventures with us Gabriel! You are a LEGEND !!!! 🙌🏻
Hi Gabe, nice video thanks for your sharing, be safe. Chaos
I was thinking the other Day, Gabriel doesn't have a drone.... obviously you do! UPDATE: Nope its Nicholas's 😂
I'm living a dream, don't wake me up!!!!!!!!!
Epic adventure!
Nice video, amazing
Beautiful.
If you ever come to England again I highly recommend Cheddar Gorge .. loved this adventure
Never heard of it before, checked it out, looks spectacular.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos yes it’s very special and Glastonbury tor is nearby it’s a great place
I wonder what kind of rock type was around that cave, was it conglomerate ? Maybe not volcanic.
First, I thought how fit is this guy for an average Greek, then in later part of video learnt that he is fitness expert
V nice. Thx 🌲😎🌲
So good to see the drone footage. Your content is excellent but I think not having drone stuff is holding you back somewhat. You deserve a 1 mill plus subs base, plse consider getting one for yourself.
Thank you for coming in our country and for the advertisement :)
Hi Gabriel, what would you say is your favourite greek island
Shivling in Greece 🍧💫
You love those Greek islands!
18.18 island spetsopoula, owned by a rich Greek family
Τzatziki - tzitziki=cicada , as for the weather ... nuts!! but i like it!!😅✌💙
Does Nico have a channel?
Yes: www.youtube.com/@IAMDASKALO
Hi Gabriel, Spetses is an interesting island with nice beaches and is very relaxing the drone might be something to investigate in the future
to allow your viewers to see parts of the scenery you may not be able to reach and give them a bird's eye view. I could see many of these small islands where pirates could hide away stolen treasure.
What drone is that?
First! I think 😊 Cheers from Toronto! 🇨🇦
Boom, got it, congrats.
WOW Peter again First congrats
@@effie-montreal Haha yes I just so happen to be posting my video of the day and saw Gabes notification!! lol
Good morning from Arizona.9 AM 81 degrees
Went to this island on holiday back in 1986. You could walk the island with an hour. I loved this place
The rotisserie chicken and chips (fries for my American friends) and afternoon siesta was lovely.
Oh Gabe you spelunker!
Spelunking on Spetses, it's a twongue tister.
Salat, Tzatziki, Drink and Souvlaki 37€ - thats insane 🤑
there are much cheaper and local places to eat, he was paying Beach Club prices especially the last location.
That was Beach Bar Club Prices during a time of inflation for food stuff in Greece. Easily even now you can find that same stuff for 10-15 Euros less! And when the inflation balances it will go back to being affordable Greece we all Love 👍🏻
@@delboy8482 I guess its not that simple. He paid on Hydra also twice more than 30 Euros. I know the Beach Taverna on Spetses from a visit in 2016. They had quit good fish (Octopus, Calamaris and Gavros) for reasonable prices at that time. I heard now about a study by the greek TV station ERT. Referring to them 50% of thee Greeks will suspend holidays this year. 42% of the people who will go into holidays will cook by themself. All of them want to spent less money this year. So my fear the Tourists will pay ''the gap'' this year. 💸💰💲
Growth rate is actually about 1cm / 100 years
I suspect it probably varies from one cave to the next. Maybe you're right that it's more in that range, I have no idea.
Time to step up your vlogging game Gabriel and get yourself a drone!
At the beginning thought that you started now using drone 😄
👍👍👍
Did you visit "The Magus"?
Gabriel please visit poros while you're down there I've been many times had my honeymoon there and have special friends almost my greek family they own ataverna in the town called the sailor please say yasso from me Dougie Gough and Lorna
Can't remember much drone use in your videos, Gab?
Feedback: Adding drone footage to your videos permanently would be a big plus.
Seems very big for only 4000 people. ¿ 🇬🇷 🇬🇷
Gabriel, I know you might prefer not to answer to this one, but…what is your favourite Greek Island?😅
6000 small and bigger islands. 227 of them are inhabited..
Exactly.
Time to get a Dhrone for your Videos Mr. Morris, because you dont put any effort into it. Do it, please Man!!!! THANKS to take us with you.
o wow interesting... u were in Bollywood movie.... can u post a video clip of it?😀 and please let us know how did you get a chance for it?
Dang why is the food so pricey on those restaurants???
Because it was a beach club frequented by Greek billionaires. Spetses is their home & playground.
Shikari 😂😂😂 hunting much. Which one would be better: hunting with a trident 🔱 or with thunder & lightning or perhaps a 🏹
Lovely cave.
Bona petit both those grubs in this video made my mouth water 😊, good eatin!
$40 for cold chicken an fries. Yeah!
The chicken was hot, it was the side dish that was cold. Greek salad and tzatziki were appetizers that were extra. ✌️
@@GabrielTravelerVideos You are eating pricier, sit down meals. You are not showing the real Greece. The chicken Gyros with French fries stuffed inside, the morning warmed chocolate croissants, both from walk-up store fronts. Stand there for a minute, then walk away very content. Very cheap and very good (as you know). Let's see it. Share those prices... You are scaring viewers that don't know Greece.
I've had lots of gyros, they're tasty but I usually only have them if I want something quick and easy. Yes, restaurants are of course more expensive, especially if they have a view of the sea. That's just the way it is. I like to eat dinner somewhere that I want to stay for a while, not a fast food type place.
Oh snap you finally got a drone! Is it a mavic 3 pro?
Nikos gave me the drone footage, maybe he will answer which drone he has.
Looks like a Mini 2 maybe? Seems similar to mine.
@@iandaye this particular one! it was mini 2 yes :)
😢
40€ for a burger and salad!! 🤪
The prices, they skinned you alive!!!🎉🎉🎉
At least they fed me first.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos
And it was cold...Apapapa..
What's the refugee and migrant situation at the places you visit in Greece?
I've never seen a refugee or migrant situation in Greece. I'm certain that I've seen many immigrants and/or refugees, especially in Athens since there are people there from all over the world. But I wouldn't know who is from where and how long they've been in Greece.
It's terrible, especially in the cities. Crime rate has sky rocketed ever since they started pouring in illegally in our country.
Turkey make lots of money from refugees
537 views and 588,000 subscribes in first 30 minutes. Uh uh, it can be much much better. It should be around 15,000 by now. CZcams algorithm hates certain people.
15,000 in 30 mins on THIS channel?
You know nothing about this topic.
Man ate the chips with his hands. Such an american thing to do 😅 USE YOUR FORK FFS! 😂
Greek islands are not cheap!
Have you visit any Islands?
They are definitely looking more expensive than I expected this year. Not sure what's going on.
@@user-nh1jy8lz9s Yes- Mykonos and Ios.
Mykonos is crazy expensive, Ios is a little better. But a lot of the less touristy islands are quite affordable.
Τhe reason is the war in Ukraine, everything is more expensive, in comparison with last year.
well isnt Nikos a greek god 😍
First
Third. ✌️
Unlucky
Wonder if some of these Islands are trying to recoup money from the covid years so they've really upped there food prices
Nope, there is inflation for some food stuff products in Greece these days & that last place was a Beach Bar Prices. Easily can find the same food for 10-15 cheaper. It will balance out again eventually!
Nope. Spetses is home to mostly Greek billionaires.
@@eugeniastravels8954 Is it really?
Dude €40 for a burge fries beers and a salad in Greece anywhere is a complete rip off
It’s temporary prices. Will balance out eventually
The actual price of the burger was 13 euros which is fair considering it was a huge one, it's all the extras that add up. But yes, beach bar prices, the beers were especially pricey.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Spetses has always been expensive on purpose. Its an exclusive holiday playground & home for the ultra rich. Just like Mykonos. 🤗
Gabriel this is food combination to do like the Greeks.
Tzatziki + french fries dip the french fries to tzatziki
Taramosalata + Octapus + feta with olives and ouzo
Roka salad with some meat
Fredo Espresso + a cigarete at the morning before you go to toilete!
....and GREEK is not CHEAP ....40EUROS for a Burger.....QUO VADIS this World.
It’s temporary!
The burger alone was 13 euros, plus everything else.
Maybe 2 or 3 islands out of 227.
Greece, for EU European Standards, is still quite affordable, although prices seem to have spiked up a little this year for some Food Products, which reflects in some of the prices. It also depends on the island too of course! 👍🏻
The name Arvanítika and its native equivalent Arbërisht[6] are derived from the ethnonym Arvanites, which in turn comes from the toponym Arbëna (Greek: Άρβανα), which in the Middle Ages referred to a region in what is today Albania
Arvanitika was brought to southern Greece during the late Middle Ages by settlers from what is today Albania. Arvanitika is also closely related to Arbëresh, the dialect of Albanian in Italy, which largely goes back to Arvanite settlers from Greece.
Cool.
Thanks for pointing that out! Yes, Medieval times had albanian speakers named arvanites come down in the late middle ages & settle in this island chain and a few other places in Southern Greece. It’s important to note, that these were Christian Roman Citizens that along with the Greeks opposed the muslim turks. The Albanians of Albania became majority muslim & were the turks henchmen, usually persecuting the Christian Populations. When the Independence War began the Arvanites fought alongside the Greeks & considered themselves Greeks as well! They never made up more than 15% of the total population of the initial Greek State that was freed, and once more provinces were freed in the North & in the Aegean areas, their numbers dropped to less than 5% of the total population. They have mixed with the Greeks & have become an integral part of the Greek Societies & are proud of their Hellenic Roman Orthodox Christian Heritage & identify as Greeks today! Hope that adds some context to this! 👍🏻
Well thanks mate for "adding context" to this 😂, really what you did was a mish mash of random information that made no sense to my comment and you were wrong on a lot.
First of all they were not "Roman Christian citizens". They were the Albanians that had put up some serious resistance, especially under the League of Lezhe(Skenderbegs league). After the league broke up a lot of people left beacuse they did not want to be ruled by the ottomans. The Albanians fought the Ottomans from the first till the last second, even though many "became muslims" many were not really muslims but pretended to be because the ottomans were extra harsch on the Albanians because of all the wars they waged against the ottomans.
Yes they was a lot of Albanians in the ottomans ranka, just as there was lots of Greeks etc etc. But for me they are traitors. Where is the Greek resistance from 1400 to 1800? ?? Tell me one battle against the ottomans?Anyway.... we went really off topic 😂.
The Arvanites Albanians , lets just call them what they are atleast in Origin/Ethnically. What they identify as today is up to them doesnt matter. What their numbers are are really hard to tell because of the forced assimilating but alot of eldens speak the language, hope its preserved atleast.
Thanks, kind regards brother.
@@maskinisten019
Im sorry, but I have studied the subject extensively!
You are WRONG, the majority of Arvanites arrived into Greece Proper EARLIER than the time of Georgios Kastriotis, in the late 13th Century! This is well documented.
There is a major difference in Philosophy here, the Greeks that became muslims either through forced conversions, willing conversions, or through the Janissary Programs were turkified, they were NEVER AGAIN considered Greeks, for the most part. That explains the great number of Hellenic genetics found in todays turks, especially in the Western Coasts of Anatolia! The flow of genetics went one way, and Muslims could not have relations with Christian Populations.
Unfortunately for the Albanians, you are still a Majority Muslim Nation. 57% Sunni Muslims & 2% Bektashi Muslims (A form of Shia Islam). It is estimated that by 2030 your nation will be 83% muslim.
The reason for this is because the Albanians mass converted & became the ottoman turks main Henchmen to suppress the Christian People in the region. That is why you see so many Albanians with names like Murati, Ibrahimi, etc etc…no Greeks have those names outside of the Muslim Community left behind in Thrace in accordance with the Treaty of Lausanne.
The Arvanites were Orthodox Christians, former Roman Citizens, and many of them were Bilingual & spoke both Greek & their mixed form of Albanian (Albanian has up to 90% Loan Words, so it’s hard to say what is actually Albanian, with the majority of the Lexicon being of Latin ultimate origin with a lot of Greek words as well).
Its a bit of an unfair question to ask about a strong Greek resistance against the Ottomans when their Main Power-Base was in Constantinople & the fact that they had been fighting the seljuks since at least the late 11th Century, and many more nomadic turkic states (amongst many others) for the greater part of a Millenia, but I’ll play ball with you..😃
From 1453, the Greeks took up arms against the Ottomans 123 separate times before 1821. The first major resistance was the Battle of Trapezounta in 1461. The mixed Hellenic Rump State known as the Principality of Teodoro fell in 1475 (to an albanian ottoman). You said 1400 tho, so we can include: The Siege of the Constantinople in 1394. Manuel II called for a Crusade, which was defeated at Nicopolis in 1396 (mind you that this is on the Byzantine Greek Worlds Deathbed after the Crippling 4th Crusade) & the Byzantines are pulling ALL of the Empires Resources, including most of the Hellenic Manpower available since Byzantium had been reduced to the Hellenic Speaking Regions the last couple hundred Years at this point. There was also the Siege of Thessalonika in 1424, and of course the Final Siege of Constantinople in 1453 with a few more skirmishes in between.
Here are more Greek attempts (some just Greeks, some along with the Orthodox Arvanites, some with the Venetians or other allies) to free Greece from the Ottomans:

Uprisings in 1571 took place in Epirus, Macedonia (Chalkidiki, Serres, Thessaloniki, Ahrida, Blatsi, Katranitsa) and in the southwestern Peloponnese by the Melissani Makarios Metropolitan of Monemvasia and his brother Theodoros).

^^^Those are just SOME of the 123 DOCUMENTED Uprisings in 370 Years (Overall Average) of Occupation.
The Arvanites NEVER made up more than 15% of the population of Greece, and as the Greeks recovered more of their Ancestral territories, that number dwindled down to less than 5%. Perhaps 200,000 Greeks today have some form of Arvanite Heritage, but regardless, they fought for Greece & the majority of their Battles were against people that they THEMSELVES referred to as: turkalbanians, the muslim albanians that constitute the people of your nation. This is what ALL their Memoirs tell us! Like Markos Botsaris who made the first Greek-Arvanite Dictionary, his Biography says:
".. Our enemies are the Albanians .."
On page: 35, he says:
".. Hellenic blood runs in our veins .."
It also says, that:
".. If I Die, I want go to find Leonidas with the 300 Spartans on the Elysian Fields .."
-Markos Botsaris
[Biography of Markos Botsaris]
Theodoros Kolokotronis, who WAS NOT an Arvanite, also said that he built Pyramid Towers with albanian Heads & referred to the albanians as turkalbanians, as did all the other Greek Revolutionary Heroes. Again, there were the majority muslims that constitute your nation today.
So what exactly are you trying to say here & what do you not understand? Stop reading these Myths they teach you in albania. Did you know that even the albanian Muslim (Lapdog) Ali Pasha wanted to create his own state break off from the Ottomans, & that his plan was to make Greek the Official Language….because the majority of his subjects under his control were Greeks that spoke Greek?
Let me know what else you would like to learn….I am here 😃
Yes, whereas turkalbanian is a turkish dialect.
