Thanks a lot for watching and safe journeys!
What a totally beautiful island. How can anyone compare overcrowded cosmopolitan cities, with overpriced shops and traffic pollution, to this islands natural beauty along with the gorgeous blue and white buildings, churches and Greek paving. Thank you for filming and showing it. Wonderful. 🙂
You always seem happiest when exploring the Greek islands. Nice.
It must be the swimming and food. Hes gotta be missing the trees. That place looks like a desert
Gabriel, I died laughing when you moo-ed at the *cow*🤣 20:29
Greece, paradise on earth, the perfect holiday destination. Weather♥♥♥,culture♥♥♥,food♥♥♥,landscape♥♥♥, beaches♥♥♥. Great video Gabe as always♥♥♥
I think you covered it all!!! Yes
so true!
I’m really really enjoying these Greek videos, Gabe! Getting home from work and watching them every night. You’re doing us all a great service! 😅❤
fate matia psaria kai koilia peridromo
Best moment of the day when you end up in a tavern!
Did you read my mind?😂😂😂
Very enjoyable video once again last one I watched 3X loved it😃😃😃😃😃😃
Sweet, glad to hear it.
I loved the Cow and the sounds you made! 🐄🤣
Definitely you are very happy at Greece!
Gabriel having the time of his young life. Beware of sea monsters and fire breathing dragons in those sea caves.😮❤
You are a wonderful ambassador for Greece! Keep up the great work :)
Gabriel, I am a long time fan from canada. I will be in Greece next week for a month. Crete, Kalamata, and then Nafpaktos… Can’t wait. Your videos are getting me pumped up! Have fun, cheers, P
Have a great time !
So no blue and white architecture for you in your visit, but beautful places nevertheless. Nafpaktos is one of the oldest Greek cities. Have fun!
Don't forget to visit beautiful Sparti & Mystras, just on the other side of Taygetus. The route has the most spectacular scenery.
When I visit Folegandros, I eat at "Psaromiligkos" tavern too. Come to Milos. We are so close.
When you have some downtime you should do a video of your favourite top 10 Greek islands.

@@GabrielTravelerVideos - I'll watch that Gabriel, maybe time for an update video with all the other Greek islands you have since visited 🏝 😉.
@@FarEastGolfer Agree. Made one mentioning all the islands I've been to, but didn't really review them: czcams.com/video/oQhzcXX0iJA/video.html
What a beautiful little island! I saw a for sale sign back at around 12 min in the video and they had a phone number for those that speak English!! Give them a call maybe!! Ya never know haha Yia mas!
Looks a wonderful island..
Perfect Folegandros island! It has a magical positive energy! Perfect video dear Gabriel! ❤ Chora as name is like the capital of the island and this is for all Greek Cycladic islands. They all have Chora it's the main spot of islands. I know that you notice this. Folegandros' Chora is one of the most beautiful of all Cycladic islands. Have a good one my friend and take care❤
6:38 really like seeing the map part of the video, as I go to google earth to check the places you were at too. Fun!
That was so cool and highly enjoyable. Well done Gabriel.
Rough and not for the faint-hearted, just as it should be. Gabriel picked a good season as it turns out, I wouldn't want to navigate all these paths on foot in the middle of August ;-)
Another gem 😊
Ι like the fact that all Greek orthodox churches still have the Eastern Roman Empire flags. Rome is alive through the Greeks, it just waits for a new capital
❤ yes you are correct YOU ARE A ROMAN.saludos ❤
It’s not a Roman flag , it’s a Byzantine flag , an eagle with 2 heads 😊
@@mariats6381 HELLO IT IS A ROMAN FLAG. BYZANTINE IS A SCHOLASTIC NAME, SALUDOS ROMAN
@@pavelavietor1Byzantine was the city later named Constantinople built by the Megarian (Greeks) around 600 b.c. and named after their mythical King Byzas / Byzantas.
@@Alexander-bj6vj hello yes you are correct, and you forgot to mention THE ROMANS ARE CREATED BY COLONIAL OF ALTA GREECE IN THE ITALIC PENINSULA . Yes everyone was Helles and then, they changed the name of the motorcycle club , to Roma . YOU ARE A ROMAN BY THE GRACE OF THE GODS OF THE HELLES. To comical. Saludos thanks for you elegant comments
So amazing 😊
Yes, I think you would love Greece. 😊😎
Gabriel try not to rent these quads; simply put they are dangerous. I have almost every summer always provided first aid to people on these things. Last time was in Santorini where a couple was making a u-turn and the driver crashed into a tree resulting in the passenger flying a few meters in the air landing and fracturing her hip. If you can always rent a vehicle. Did you get an OTE SIM card that allows you for 10€ to have unlimited 4G internet on your phone? You can use your phone as a modem for your other devices too.
🏝🏝🏝🏝🏝🏝🏝🏝🏝🏝We're enjoying all your Greek island videos!! 🏝🏝🏝🏝🏝🏝🏝🏝🏝
Excellent. 👍
Thanks Gabriel, love your videos… Folegandros is in my top 3 Greek islands ❤
Sharing this Greek Island tour video. Nice views seeing your smile riding on the scooter past beautiful a blue sky. Thanks!
Another beautiful spot. That rabbit looks good, as does the Oozo.. couple more weeks and I'll be lappin some up myself 👍🇬🇷
Keep rollin, Gabriel! 🤘Nice music as always 🎉
Thank God... I though I was the only one occationally moo-ing at cows.
Wow I’m so glad I’ve been on one of your favourite Greek island, I went there from Santorini I saw photos of Folengandros 😍and notice it was pretty near Santorini
Let’s keep the island a secret 🤫 haha
Great video Gabriel. I wonder, have you been to the island Ithaca in Greece? It seems to be the most beautiful of all the islands there that I have seen on CZcams (due to chronic illness I can only travel via YT currently).
Yes: czcams.com/video/k-oiBpohC3s/video.html
Very refreshing
Hi Gabriel I Like The Music Can`t Wait To See your New Videos Have A Good Day.
Good afternoon from Arizona. Love the Greece videos.
The cows were like WTF bro, he’s one of us!!
Hi gabe what a gem of an island you've found the scenery is amazing I'm loving this video have fun x
Pleased to hear you mention your friends Christos and Nicole as well as your saying that you might be seeing them on this trip. Nicole was gracious to me on Etsy. I enjoyed our interacted.
Just saw a Jumping Places video from Nisyros. Chris gave you a great shout out.
Cool, I'll check it out.
Hi Gabriel, That opening view was interesting between the rocks in the water. A lot of the time in your videos you reach a fork in the road as Yogi Berra would say when you come to the fork in the road, take it! The weather has been absolutely beautiful.
Exactly.
First!! Maybe!! Yia sou Gabe!
Boom, got it again.
good job😀😀😀😀
@@Posey12345 Thank you !!!
Don't skip Sikinos. If it's a little close to what I remember, it's a wonderful little island.
Whenever you go this kind of island. Please show us fresh water resource of their. From where they get drinking water !!
Thanks.
from wells and springs lots there get replenished by winter rain )
Dear Gabriel you must visit Iraklia, Schoinousa, Koufonisia (Ano Koufonisi its the main island & Kato Koufonisi), Donousa, known as the Small Eastern Cyclades. These tiny islands are the Cycladic diamonds of Greece. Koufonisia islands especially..has the best colour sea waters of all Cyclades!! Trust me! You will be amazed!! Thanks always for your videos really enjoy your content!! Love these videos from Folegandros, it's also one of my favourite Greek islands!! Take care dear friend and stay safe❤
Amazing Islands😊
Good morning Gabriel 🌞!! Great hiking⛰🌅 , great beaches 🌊🚤🐙 You should go Sikinos 🏝!!
That's the first green door I've seen on an island church
Moooooooo!😂
Hi Gabe, thank you for shearing great video and showing us beautiful island. Chaos
Here you are... I was worried there was no video tonight... no Gabe? No Greece? you are the best 😊
Stunning views
Iam your die hard follower... last THREE YEARS ❤..... but seeing your Greek Canopies...I , think, you will be settled in a small island's of GREECE...If, so,
Nice!
GABRIEL THE YELLOW FLAG WITH THE EAGLE WITH TWO HEADS IN THE CHURCH,IS THE FLAG OF THE BYZANTINE EMPIRE
Wow, very cool.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos well it's not exactly the byzantine flag (although the eagle was used as the byzantine) but the orthodox religion flag
@@djoker3915That's actually the Byzantine Empires flag, in orthodoxy flag eangle holds a stuff instead of a sword
i hope gabe can visit one of those houses and see whats it like inside
Amazing location, so calm and beautiful Greek Islands 💚
Folegandros looks great thank you for sharing Gabe 🇬🇷❤
❤ great cinematography thanks ❤ saludos
Great job 👏 👍 👌 bravo.
We call it Limani (Λιμάνι)..The port..But at this island they have the name Καραβοστάσι..Karavostasi for their town..-)
Gabe, i think you feel like home here...and you're right, you have it, the Greek "thing" or vibe, maybe it's because you're a Californian.😊✌💙p.s. livadaki=little prairie, agali=hug, embracement
hell ya gabe!
When I heard you say Crete was south-east from Folegandros in the previous video, I knew straight away that you were talking balderdash, but I stayed calm and composed as an ancient ruin on a Greek island, having seen you for the meticulous and punctilious person that you are, I was sure that eventually you were gonna find the right way to knowledge.
Wooo hoooooo
So off to koufonisia next?
While you are right about Agkali Beach being a pretty typical tourist beach (good place to take kids, a few restaurants), about a 10-15 minute easy hike is Galifos Beach, which is clothing optional with a small guesthouse of 3 or 4 rustic rooms w/no electricity and someone who does ayurvedic massage. The other way is Fira Beach. I hiked to it from Chora but some people swam to it from Agkali and there is a rough trail from Agkali as well.
Glad you made it to Folegandros and I'm watching you visit some places I've been, although I didn't make it to Katergo on my visit.
Very nice.
Lovely video .Planning to go to Greece but unable to walk long journeys.
That's not a problem. Most hotels or rent houses either mainland or island
have their own beach or are very close to one. Pick your favorite and have fun.
19:38 Comic Sans MS. My favourite font. I use it in my editors and IDEs.
Rhodes please! Great island, despite the tourists
*The way the Greek Islands are just scattered around reminds me of some video game map. Crazy how back in the day people just sailed all around. I wonder how common it was (and if it still is) for a Greek citizen to get to know as many islands as possible. Do they try and rack them up like you, or are they more indifferent about it? Keep it coming Gabe! Also: You're really getting your money's worth with that $380 supertitanium master 5000 bicycle* 😂 czcams.com/video/I2iUQqp-zU8/video.html
do you realised how much time you need to visit all those islands ?
many of them has no air port, and the ship lines didnt connect them directly even for the famous one, people has to choose the line of the islands that they want to see, for example you cant go with the same ship line even to Santorini and Myconos!
also after a while every person find his favourite island or coast and he choose to spend many summers there to his favorite beaches and restaurants bars and local friends
Gabriel is a great traveler, my favorite, but he has to slow down his energy to the Greek way of living to stop somewhere feel the vibe and the strange energy of some of those islands ( to me my 2 weeks in Amorgos once it was like i was high for those 2 weeks! i cant explain it) and living the moment free of pression for videos schedule etc
sometimes all you need is an empty amazing beach swim naked under the sun drinking wine and stay there till the night to clear your mind.
Great video Gabriel! Go to Nisyros, a volcanic island you can even walk in the active caldera!
One of my favorite islands: www.youtube.com/@GabrielTravelerVideos/search?query=Nisyros
I think Jumping Places couple is right there now.
@@tombuddy100 Their latest video is from there, but their content is delayed by a few weeks.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Oh, they do not edit or post videos as soon as possible, but it seems as if they do, because they space them out, i.e. they do not post them all at the same time at some point?
What are your favourite three Greek islands so far? :)
What music are you playing at the end part? I always like this music.
Cool, glad to hear it. The music is always listed in the description below the video.
Simply beautiful.....
How ever your voice is kinda muffled when camera goes under water 🤔🙏
Dude you should visit Lebanon, amazing country and the oldest city on earth is located there, Byblos.
I agree.
Good morning 🙏 from Hyderabad 🇮🇳 India
Hi Gabriel, I've just returned from Greece after island-hopping for 3 weeks and I was wondering if I might bump into you. I left Folegandros 3 days ago after spending 4 days there, so it seems like we were probably on the same island at the same time. It looks like I now have many videos to catch up on.
Yeah I was on Folegandros about five days ago and spent five days there, so it sounds like we were there at the same time. I hope you had a nice trip.👍✌️
What's the name of the music at the very last , that was playing as you were eating?
All of the songs are listed in the description below the video.
Kimolos is next I just feel it
Are you going to Koufonisia? 😇
Quadrophenia Here by the sea and sand Nothing ever goes as planned
Have you been to kefalonia? Beautiful
Yes: www.youtube.com/@GabrielTravelerVideos/search?query=Kefalonia
Hi Gabriel, i suggest you visit Leros island, its beautiful and cheap
I visited there in 2009, nice island.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Glad you liked it
👍👍👍
Hell yeah man. I have never been to that island, but I’ve heard of that it is one of the most beautiful in the area. The water is incredible. I definitely need to make it there someday..
I am actually heading to Thailand in 10 days. Going to be exploring the north of the country by motorcycle. I will probably venture into Laos as well. I’m pretty excited.
Sweeeeet, sounds super fun.
Are you going to Anafi!?
Probably not this trip, but it's a great island: www.youtube.com/@GabrielTravelerVideos/search?query=Anafi
Are you not afraid of seals ? They are very common in Greek waters.
going down from the cemetery I remember it took me 35-40 minutes to arrive to Livadakia beach, which might be the best sandy beach of the island, and with 10 more minutes you can go to the Lighthouse
First!
Second.
Hey Gabriel. I asked in a previous video why you have never considered visiting the southern parts of Africa except North Africa.
I have definitely considered it, lots of countries there I'm curious to see, just haven't done it yet. No particular reason why I haven't traveled to any of the countries that I haven't been to yet, I just went to other places. ✌️
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Cool. You can consider Kenya if you ever decide to venture into Africa. You can start your research by Googling Diani Beach ✌🏼
@@danielouma4030Well if you go to Greece 20 times there isn't much time left for other countries😂
@@robcanad he has a mission to complete: Visit all the 227 inhabited islands
@@djoker3915 boring as hell mission🤣🤣
Go to Skiathos
www.youtube.com/@GabrielTravelerVideos/search?query=Skiathos
Look how blue that sky is! Any clues to where you'll visit after Greece? Turkey maybe?
I thought that was fried chicken what dose rabbit tastes like?
From my own experience, rabbit tastes similair to chicken
Taste great if it's made properly.
The secret for the sauce is to use lots of small onions,without slicing them,they give the taste.
Wow, Greece looks drier than ever...
🎉😂😂😂
Water looks very awesome, but where are the fish?
In the open sea in deeper waters.
One brown island after another, i wish you would interact more with locals to add some depth to your videos
If you keep divng headfirst into the water like that you are going to smash your head open on a submerged rock one day,
I always check water depth before diving.
if you look on the map some islands are closer to Turkey so how come Greece got most of the islands
Complicated history. Most of what is now Turkey used to be inhabited by Greeks. The Ottomans invaded, eventually conquered Constantinople in 1453 and pushed most of the Greeks out. I assume the border ended up where it is now at the islands because the sea is an obstacle, but there's probably a lot more to it than that.
That's because Turkey expanded westwards. All this area including Turkey's Aegean coastline has been Greek for millennia. Even during Turkish occupation the population of these islands was always Greek.
Turkey should be Greek as well. But never mind
what kinda logic is that? Lmao
Greeks have a strong relation to the sea and to the aegean islands in particular that goes thousands of years back to history and continues till today.
On the other hand, Turks were historically a steppe tribe that came into the area 1000 years ago and were just never into the sea way of life. Have in mind that it was a very demanding way of life as you can see in Gabriel's vids.
So, even after 400 years of Turkish occupation the population of the Aegean islands remained greek and as you can understand this is the main reason that after many wars and trieties almost all Aegean islands belong to Greece.
You can say it's a matter of self-determination of the local population.
it's so unfair that people get to live there all the time.
I love most of the Greek videos and I watch almost all of them, but your American pronunciation and butchering every place name is kinda off putting. Especially for a traveller that has been to so many places, surely you have talked to all kinds of people and picked up some different languages and know the basics of how to pronounce place names? No? Just me? OK. 😢
