Ah this video gives me memories of my trip there two years ago, you’ll have to go back to the church of Panagia in the evening, the sunset is incredible over the cliffs, it’s even better than the sunset in Oia in Santorini, less crowded
I’ve never fancied going to Greece but man are you selling these islands to me, something about that town halfway through the video just made me want to see it. Maybe one day
@@giorgoskountourgiannis8230 I really don’t have to explain myself, and would have thought Spain was the number 1 holiday destination in Europe!! But yeah Italy is so amazing, Greece looks good, but Italy cannot be beaten sorry!! 😄
i love your videos man! but for me i love the silence and the atmosphere, the smells,the sea and evening breeze. i love to sit for hours in a nice taverna writing songs or poems,watching the social life like any greeks.
"oh yeah look at that"... was on point commentary when coming up to that overlook at the top of the bike ride. I was thinking the exact same thing... wow look at this. Best island by far in this series. Love it.. thanks for the journey share.
Have always wanted to visit Hydra but now so many more Greek Islands to explore. Like your detailed videos (accommodation, rental, food cost etc). Best tour guide! Thank you.
Interesting name for the port town, Karavostasi. Καράβι/Karavi means ship and στάση/stasi means stop. So it literally means a ship stop, like a bus stop or port.
Hey Gabriel, fun fact: chora in greek also means country. Also i like the editing when strolling through the alleys but I'd like it more if you included any comments you make (along with the music),
Another great video Gabriel. Loved the music in the last minute or so, quite reflective. Perhaps at the end of your Greek islands travel, a summary video of the best bits set to that music would be a great watch. Happy travels!
This reminds me a bit of Taquile island in Lake Titicaca, Peru. The climate is similarly arid and the skies are blue. Lake Titicaca is full of woven islands made by the indigenous people, but Taquile island is a land island.
Heavenly place and it shows on your smiling face. I love the pink and red floral shrubs. (Crepe Myrtle possibly?) What kind of work do the people do for a living? Thanks for the nice tour.😊❤
Thank you man every summer I fell like I am traveling over the greek island ..surprise it is not so crowded there... good to know .....bike and travel you just need to do a camping soon ahahah !!! enjoy , you are bless!!!
I keep coming back to your videos when planning my next trip to Greece! I'm hoping to combine Folegandros with Milos, Sifnos and Serifos for this summer! I think you'd love exploring the wild North Aegean islands like Lesvos and Lemnos, they'd be right up your alley ;)
@@GabrielTravelerVideos I hope you do too and remember Lefkada, you left that out 😉 It's got the bluest water in Greece and easily combined with Parga, Syvota and Vikos gorge (Epirus). Look those places up and have fun planning 😎
Ano Meria means Upper Corner Karavostasi means Ship Park (where ships park (or used to park).. Hora means Town. Aggali means Hug ancient Greek (a space that is formed - enclosed as by the torso of a man and his arms bent forward, in a semicircle↪ hugged). Wealthy Greeks frequent the island.
Chora seems like a very romantic village to spend some 'quiet' time with your girl! I hope not too expensive, because love costs nowadays. I'll consider updating my list if so
You can go to Amorgos next, you won't regret it, an amazing island. Also Patmos, famous for the Monastery where John's Revelations were written at around 70 AD
I loved this video, Gabe -- thank you for all the work you always put into editing your videos! I love the way you often let the images and scenery speak for themselves with just music in the background. I also appreciate greatly your editing in prices or cautions (such as checking water depth before diving) in words. I've been to the Greek islands 3x, but never to Folegandros. Thanks for showing why it's worth a visit!
Hi Gabriel, this island Folegandros is a beautiful island and supposed to have some spectacular trekking trails with panoramic views. It may be best to use a scooter or quad bike. Of course, the water looks great to swim in and relax, you must have gotten used to riding a bit more on the bike. I know it's an adjustment with the camera in your hand. That's not goat milk, is it? I know that it's more digestible and many people are milk intolerant.
I thought when you said that you were dying for a drink, you were thinking of an ice cold Mythos 😉 But on a hot day, an ice cold milk is good too! I do it too. Btw, since you are a skier, have you ever considered skiing Mt Ida (Psiloritas) on Crete? It doesn't look any harder than Tahoe, which you went skiing on a few months back. Mt Ida is on my bucket - but have a feeling it will remain unchecked...
I was staying in the foothills of Mount Ida last August in Crete in Zaros, before heading further north and spending a few weeks up in the mountains in Axos and Anogeia watching vultures over coffee each morning.
This is the Greece i love too !! karavo - stasi = the place where the ships stop, the port basicaly! Τhiras was the ancient founder of the capital of Santorini island and as a word means " door" or "entrance" in ancient Greek... enjoy the Big Blue Gabe !💙 ✌✨
φυσικά έχεις δίκιο, αργότερα το είδα, άρα ο Θήρας ήταν κυνηγός. Δεν είχα την ευχέρεια να το διορθώσω. You're absolutely right, i remembered it later on, but i didn't have the chance to correct it.✌
Kastellorizo was the set of the Movie Mediterraneo (1991) I always want to go there but it's quite far (5 hours by boat from Rodhes) or expesive (flying there)
Visited Folegandros back in 2019. It's a lovely island, though I found it a little too quiet and lacking in nice beaches. Perfect for a 2-3 night stay and quite romantic in the Chora of an evening.
Hi Gabriel! I watched your videos about Greece and traveled to Anafi, Santorini and Fole this May. It was such a perfect Greek island trip. Thanks so much for these amazing videos!
It looks like the best time to visit Greece and the islands is after the rains, *not* during the summer as everything looks really dry, brown and in need of water.
They are always like that. I don't know why people find it ugly. I think it's what makes them more unique. There are also Greek islands full of green. Plus I'm pretty sure trees can't grow there (otherwise it would have happened already) when you have strong winds, dry very hot summers and not that fertile soil
My first time watching you! Heard Ariel (Urbanist) mention you just yesterday in his video.🇬🇷 My sweetie and I have fallen in love with Greece and all things Greek and hope to travel there B4 too long ⛵✈️ I love riding my bike also and so I'm thrilled to discover your channel!🚴♀️ ❤️ Looking forward to watching 🌟ALL🌟 of your Greek videos & plenty of the others! 😊
Your Greek Islands videos have really been superb. What a fantastic part of the globe - thank you for documenting and sharing.
You are living the dream mate.
This island Folegandros is amazing. Thanks Gabe for showing us around. Even us Greeks do not know Kythnos or Folegandros at all
Ry x howling
Wow, this island seems perfect!
It really is. And some epic beaches which I'll show in the next vid.

Welcome back to Greece Gabriel ! Have great time here my friend
Greece for ever
Now this is proper travel.
Oh wow! I was in Folegandros a few weeks ago. Absolutely lovely, beautiful island. I cant wait to go back!
We can tell how Gabriel loves Greece. Nice to see. I didn't know greek islands were that beautiful.

Greece has so many islands that I will bet you have visited more islands than many Greeks have. 👍
Was just in Folegandros a few weeks ago and it was one of my favorite islands! But really… all of them are beautiful and worth exploring!
Hey watching your awesome tour around Greece greetings from Englishman in new Orleans
i love your videos man! but for me i love the silence and the atmosphere, the smells,the sea and evening breeze. i love to sit for hours in a nice taverna writing songs or poems,watching the social life like any greeks.
Ohh man that water looks so inviting, I wish I could teleport through my screen to get to where you are at the moment.
Gabe's Greek island tours just bring this Greek American tons of happiness!
It’s one of many times on your travels that I really “ wish I was there “ ❤
Gabriel you were standing at the ultimate sunset spot in Panagia when you were referring to sunset of Oia!
"oh yeah look at that"... was on point commentary when coming up to that overlook at the top of the bike ride. I was thinking the exact same thing... wow look at this. Best island by far in this series. Love it.. thanks for the journey share.
I love it all. What peace & quiet Wow. 😍🇬🇷
Have always wanted to visit Hydra but now so many more Greek Islands to explore. Like your detailed videos (accommodation, rental, food cost etc). Best tour guide! Thank you.
How Santorini looked like 40 years ago except the caldera view. Hope to stay like that.
Interesting name for the port town, Karavostasi. Καράβι/Karavi means ship and στάση/stasi means stop. So it literally means a ship stop, like a bus stop or port.
As a matter of fact, ‘karavostasi’ means ‘ship parking place’,
That makes a whole lot of sense.
Cannot believe how beautiful it looks! Great video, Gabriel!
Your blissful smile in Chora!
Ahhh, so much fun in the Sun! Love the Islands….You do a great job riding your bike and filming…Watch out for those shallow dives!
All of Greece is the Greece you were looking for.
Great video Gabe. You are living and experiencing all your viewer's dreams by travelling to some beautiful places. Thanks for all of your content.
Bloody hell. What a place that looks👍🇬🇷
Wow what an island thank you Gabriel right now I know my next trip 😅
So beautiful! Thanks!
i love these type of videos, its like i am also travelling along.

Loving your greek islands vids Gabriel! Watching your folegrande vid while on hols in santorini which is cool!
Your videos of Greece are so awesome, I worry that you unwillingly might kill some viewer from overdose of relaxation and satisfaction
Just drink some ouzo and you'll be fine.
What a lovely day you had G, plus we were able to join u, thanks for making & sharing 🙏👍
I can't think of a better place on earth for a person and another person they get along with
Gabriel, you never disappoint 😎☀️🌊😊✌️❤
Gabe is like a kid in the candy shop when looking at Greek island hiking trails 😂

23:58 Very good advice! Refraction of water can make it seem deeper than it really is.
in 30 days finally after 20 years going to back to crete for the first time with my family.....these video's sure bring out a holiday-vibe.
Thank you man every summer I fell like I am traveling over the greek island ..surprise it is not so crowded there... good to know .....bike and travel you just need to do a camping soon ahahah !!! enjoy , you are bless!!!

One of my favourite Greek islands! Perfect Gabriel!!!
well its clear you love Greece
I love it! Thank you 🤙
That's so funny you would mention William:)

The bike is doing pretty well but needs some grease or something.
This island has been used as the setting for a movie, and I would like to visit it someday.
