      Amazing, thanks for stopping by! We had a wonderful time in Greece. Truly one of the friendliest places we’ve visited! ❤️

    Forty years ago I spent the summer Island hopping very different then, Wow its comparable luxury today and Im sure the experience is equally rewarding.

    One hour before your trip take dramamine to avoid motion sickness, also looking out in the window and getting fresh air also helps🙂Have fun in your travels❤

    Scopolamine patches. I’m a nurse and I get seasick. I always have my doctor prescribe the patches.

      @@cjexplores oh good! We were in Greece last August and my friend traveling with me didn't think she would need one. 🌏She was so sick the entire 3 hours! 🤢 She went through so many of the nausea bags. She said she has never been sea sick in the past, but also never experienced these ferries,. I know for a fact if I wasn't wearing one, I would have been just as bad and I was perfectly fine! 🙂 I just subscribed to your channel.✅ This video was great. ‼We only took the fast ferry last year and this year we are booking this bigger ferry for an 8 hour journey back to Athens from Koufonisia. 🚢I am also trying to get my travel channel up and running. I⛹‍♂ have a true crime channel 🕵that is doing well, but my heart ❤is travel! Plus being a Greek American, I am trying to explore as much of Greece as possible and then of course other places. You do such a great job with your vidieos! 🏆Theiy are very informativie, hold attention and your editing is so good!! 🏅 Have a wonderful day! 🌞Kathy 😎

    Great video : D. I went to Athens with friends at the same time you guys were there. First time I'd ever been and it was fab.
    How much was the ferry you took to Kos please? I have used motion sickness wrist bands and they help. Enjoy your future travels x

    • @cjexplores
      @cjexplores  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thanks Tracey 🙏🏼 we will try the wristbands in the future 😉 the ferry cost us around €88 each but we used our Interrail pass for a 30% discount 😁

    Good video. I was hoping to do the same ferry from Athens to Kos however arriving that early in the morning is really inconvenient imo.

    • @cjexplores

      Yes! I’m sure they have other sailings as well as plenty of connections throughout the islands 😉

    Hi great video!! I honestly do not think that having wifi packages is dated, even United airlines or big air companies like Lufthansa do this kind of practices, I think you are just a little bit spoiled😅 you want wifi? Pay it 😼

    It looks like the European under 26 years old have 50% off and takes all the cabins. And us, older fellows, we can just have a seat.

      Seriously, I understand that econo seats are 50% for young adults but not so much why it is the case for luxury cabins. It looks like the European Unions is trying to push the bobo culture very hard as it is pretty much the same all around Europe 😄.

      @@cjexplores this video is a sad sight, like all these videologs which replaced instagram photos for many. Why are you putting yourself out there, to proof what?! To show everyone what everybody already knows, to trample beaten paths and destroy local sites and what you call authenticity. TH-cam and all your camera gear obviously fried your brain and hollowed you even more out than you already were, when you were born in a postmodern culture dominated by technology and the internet. The world has seen smarter generations which still had a sense for freedom, a concept you might never grasp
