Ηρακλειά, Αμοργός and all this small islands are hidden gems !!! Amorgos in the first 3 weeks of September is Heaven on Earth...you can discover your self all over again...away from everything.... going to the beach, eating fresh fish, meeting great people and drinking ouzo.. This is true holiday in Paradise.
The good thing about Greek islands is that they are so many that always will some left unspoiled for travellers. I used the term "travellers" intentionally because "tourists" is an other breed ... They follow trends and pack like sardines in the most known. This real vacation , traveller' s vacation which recharges your batteries and justifies a 2000 miles trip ....😊😊🇬🇷😊😊
i am not a beach person but man, i would plunge into that acqua water in a heartbeat! how lucky you are to be able to hop around to all these gorgeous islands. and the food - drool!
We visited the small kiklades second week of june and we loved the place (3 days in koufonissia, 2 days in schinoussa and 2 days in Iraklia). It was a shock when we arrived in crowded Naxos after staying in such small Íslands. Í love your vidéos travelling to my beloved greek Íslands.
The little shop "MELISSA" is the all-in-one place for the locals. It is minimarket, kafeneion, ferry ticket office and more. Locals also come their to pick up bread they have ordered. There used to be a bakery on Iraklia but only half of the year, the baker left in 2022 and didn't come back. The restaurant Akathi has probably the best zuchini ball of all Greece. The restaurant opens with Easter and closes early October. It's owned by an elderly couple who live permanently on Irakleia. The funny thing is that their son (who probably served you) is a qualified cook who worked in Paris and on Santorini but in Akanthi he is not allowed to cook by his mother. It's her kitchen she says and she cooks in it 😃
Melissa was like city hall! That is a great story about Akathi. They had many waiters so not sure if I had the son. The briam was the best I have ever had!
Wow, what a beautiful place to enjoy true relaxation. Delicious food, relaxing beach and no crowds…this is where I would like to vacation. Thank you Tiffany for showing us this island. I hope you had a wonderful time.
Your content is amazing, you become more greek every year (kalimera, the hat, afternoon naps, the quiet remote places you visit) 😊. I love what you do ❤
It is nice to see Iraklia. In the late 80th and 90th I have been there 3 times. We stayed at Livadi and camped on the beach. By then there where one two or tree restaurants. The boat Skopelitis was half as big by then. I think I am going back next year.
I found your channel fairly recently, and I like the small details that you provide about each place you visit, how to get there, where to eat, what to see, and so on. Keep it up.
The memories that your filmmaking is stirring up... if only there was a way to transmit the smells as well! If you happen to find a taverna offering stuffed zucchini flowers go for it before it runs out. It is an amazing vegetarian Cretan / island dish that is difficult to prepare in large quantities and on a daily basis. I have already started wondering which island the "mermaid" is going to appear on next week. Enjoy!
@@agirlandherpassport Yes , there were only a few places to stay and hardly any people or cars , but I met a lady from Devon UK and we have been friends ever since ..
The answer to your challenge @errolab3872 is to travel early May or late September. The last few years I had a splendid time on Agathonissi, Irakleia, Fourni, Donoussa, Sikinos to name just a few.
Great video, Tiffany! I was in Iraklia last summer (in the same studios as you) and you are spot on! Such a serene little island, with crystal clear waters, amazing food and mesmerizing sunsets!
You ate gyros chicken that's why the sauce!!! Try gyros pork with tzatziki!!! If you can check all small cyclade islands.. Koufonisia, donousa&amorgos and you can because of the every day ferry boat express skopelitis with main base is katapola amorgos!!! If you go in amorgos check the monastery of hozoviotisa virgin Mary it's Greek orthodox the view is the best and the hospitality is great!!! Have a great time everywhere!!!!
@agirlandherpassport Sorry not sure if you saw my question above about the Peloponnese Peninsula, but I also wondered if you were able to find out where the people who live on Iraklia get their groceries? Naxos?
@@agirlandherpassport That's also a nice island. I did a hike up to the abandoned village with a castle on top. I have a video coming up later this week about that.
Omg I booked to go there with Koufonisia and then cancelled Iraklia. 😢Next time. My three month Greece trip is almost ending. 8 more days. I am a bit homesick though 😂 Glad you’re feeling better!
Apparently the locals on the small islands order their groceries from the large supermarkets on Naxos and get them delivered on the ferry. When I was on Iraklia about 20 years ago or more I only found one proper taverna. There was another one that was only serving a few dishes and no meat and some small places that I wasn't sure whether they were serving food or not. I had to have a shower and get dressed by candlelight one night as there had been a power failure. It's obviously developed a lot since then. I see on your video that there is a bus stop - that must mean there is a bus now.
Hi girl! What a beautifully island love that is doesn't have sunbeds that what greek islands should look like, couldn't find your link info for the hotel and how much also what did they charge for the soulaki, happy your taking some deserve time to relax, have a great week 😊
@@agirlandherpassport Good to hear. I have never stayed at a Greek island with that low of the local population. Nice to know things are great in those places as well.
@@agirlandherpassport the quietness first of all, the shady beach, the water, the food, the views… everything!!! I have to plan my trip next year. Btw, in which month did you travel?
When she was talking about the bar opening at midnight, the man walking in front of her was blowing his nose with his hands, GROSS!, hopefully he's not one of the island chefs.

It was so nice. The water was perfect there.
@@agirlandherpassportit's good if you can go in Samothraci and show the people an green Greek island with mysterious past
Lovely vlog reminds me of Greece when i first visited 40years ago and nice to see the beach not packed out with overpriced sunbeds 🍻
It was so nice to sit under a tree with the just the sound of waves and people enjoying themselves.
We visited the small kiklades second week of june and we loved the place (3 days in koufonissia, 2 days in schinoussa and 2 days in Iraklia). It was a shock when we arrived in crowded Naxos after staying in such small Íslands. Í love your vidéos travelling to my beloved greek Íslands.
Going to Naxos after those would be shocking. I still love Naxos but it is definitely a different vibe.
I felt so calm and peaceful just watching this episode! Thank you for sharing a lesser-visited island with us, it's beautiful. 💕
So glad you enjoyed it!!
Fantastic video guide nice footage beautiful Greece!
Thank you!

Thank you so much!
serene paradise
Exactly how I felt.
I don't think you know how much your videos help me with my sanity in this loud and crazy world. Thank you so much! I'm adding this island to my list.
Thank you so much! That means so much to me.

We really enjoyed the vid on Irakalia.
Thanks!
A true gem!!!
I visited the island and loved it!
Donousa island, is my all time favourite.
If you get the chance pls go.
Trust me.
Keep filming!!
It’s on my list! Glad to know you like it.

I wish I could do that. I would love to find zucchini flowers. I love them.
Iraklia was my first solo travel adventure more than 25 years ago . 😍
What a fabulous first solo trip!! Must have been even more quite then.
@@agirlandherpassport Yes , there were only a few places to stay and hardly any people or cars , but I met a lady from Devon UK and we have been friends ever since ..
@@JH-me That is wonderful! There still aren't too many places to stay but that is what keeps it quiet.
Good review. First time on your channel. Subscribed.
Thank you!
What a glorious, small Greek island! Thanks for sharing again, your videos are amazing and filled with knowledge! Enjoy the rest of your get away!
It was glorious! You’re welcome. I’m so happy you liked it. Thanks!
This is great. I was gonna ask you if you could make a series on the least visited islands. I want a challenge to go visit them next summer
Thanks! I would love to do that. Hopefully these will do well enough to pay for that. Haha.
The answer to your challenge @errolab3872 is to travel early May or late September. The last few years I had a splendid time on Agathonissi, Irakleia, Fourni, Donoussa, Sikinos to name just a few.
what a wonderful island Tiffany! so peaceful!
It was peaceful! Wish I could have stayed longer.
Great video, Tiffany! I was in Iraklia last summer (in the same studios as you) and you are spot on! Such a serene little island, with crystal clear waters, amazing food and mesmerizing sunsets!
Thank you. Wasn’t the studio awesome.
@@agirlandherpassport Indeed, the rooms are ideal, and the sunset view from their veranda is unforgettable.
@@Vassilis_D The sunset view is probably the best on the island!
You ate gyros chicken that's why the sauce!!! Try gyros pork with tzatziki!!! If you can check all small cyclade islands..

I have had chicken with tzatziki though. I don't often get pork as it is heavy for me.
So adorable. This is exactly where I would like to hole up. If I disappear, shhhhhh.
Me too!
Do you know of any villages on the Peloponnese Peninsula that are at all like this town? Quiet, on the water, peaceful, and pretty?
@agirlandherpassport
Sorry not sure if you saw my question above about the Peloponnese Peninsula, but I also wondered if you were able to find out where the people who live on Iraklia get their groceries? Naxos?
@@no-secret-chart I am sure there are plenty but I don't know the Peloponnese well enough to recommend someone.
@@no-secret-chart It must be just that small store I showed or order special things from Naxos or Athens. I didn't ask.
My kind of Greek island ❤
Me too!!
Thanks!
Thank you!
I simply love it!
Glad you like it!
I'm happy you're enjoying Greece, avoid noon sun especially between 1-5, greetings from London UK.
Thanks
Thanks for the exceptional details
You’re welcome.
Looks wonderful. I just got back from the tiny island of Tilos but I think this island is even smaller!
How did you like Tilos?
@@agirlandherpassport Loved it. I've been twice & also to Kastellorizo & Halki. I'm now watching videos to choose an island for next year!
@bilingualbackpacker I am very interested in going to Halki!
@@agirlandherpassport That's also a nice island. I did a hike up to the abandoned village with a castle on top. I have a video coming up later this week about that.
Wonderful
Thanks!
Thankyou for sharing enjoying your information❤
You are so welcome
Omg I booked to go there with Koufonisia and then cancelled Iraklia. 😢Next time. My three month Greece trip is almost ending. 8 more days. I am a bit homesick though 😂 Glad you’re feeling better!
Next time! I hope you have had a great time.
@@agirlandherpassport I have for the most part. Sifnos was my fave island and definitely will go back next year.
@@cynthiakritika5047Sifnos is so great!!
`So beautiful
Thank you so much
Apparently the locals on the small islands order their groceries from the large supermarkets on Naxos and get them delivered on the ferry.

There was another one that was only serving a few dishes and no meat and some small places that I wasn't sure whether they were serving food or not.

Sorry about that. Here it is, booking.stay22.com/agirlandherpassport/DF_MludGR8 The gyro was €4.20.
Thank you for showing this hidden gemstone. This where a vacation should be. Have you used Wi-Fi? If so, was it slow?
The WiFi in the hotel was great actually. Some of the best I have had on a Greek island.
Are you using a different camera or lens? It looks great!
Back in January, I switched to a DJI Osmo Pocket 3. I love it.
Greece is the land of freedom and democracy! We have the most ancient parliament in the world in Lemnos and it date dpfrom around 3.000 BC
Hello Tiffany, you look and sound a lot more happier in this vlog, also I'm still disappointed you still don't have a shoe sponsor yet
Take care
Thanks. I was feeling better. Haha. I wish!
Be more careful in this heatwave. Its dangerous going outside midday
I was rarely out in midday. It’s too hot.
How was the phone reception and internet?
Great actually. The hotel had relatively fast internet for a Greek island.
@@agirlandherpassport Good to hear. I have never stayed at a Greek island with that low of the local population. Nice to know things are great in those places as well.
What’s your fave island in the Saronic chain, for a 2 or 3 night trip?
Aegina is great for that time.
This is my dream
What part do you like most?
@@agirlandherpassport the quietness first of all, the shady beach, the water, the food, the views… everything!!! I have to plan my trip next year. Btw, in which month did you travel?
@@Desina_zz I think you found your spot. It was July.
@@agirlandherpassport cannot wait for your next vlog! Smaller cyclades are amazing!
Δεν κατάλαβα, ποιο είναι το νησί? Πώς λέγεται? Καλωσήρθατε στην Ελλάδα!
Το νησί είναι Ηράκλεια. Είναι νοτιοδυτικά της Νάξου.
WAS THERE A CASH MACHINE ON THE ISLAND AND HOW MUCH WAS THE FERRY FROM NAXOS TO THE ISLAND? PLEASE?
There was near the port. Only one though. It was €5.50 from Naxos.
@@agirlandherpassport Thank you so kindly fir 🙏 taking the time to answer 🙏
@@philipquick7423You’re welcome
When she was talking about the bar opening at midnight, the man walking in front of her was blowing his nose with his hands, GROSS!, hopefully he's not one of the island chefs.
Tell me how you like from where are you from?
Unspoiled island = boring island. 🙃
Greece is most beautiful country in the world,it is not fair to judge Greece by this sight,try athena,thessaloniki ,Crete ...💙🤍ελλαδα σαγαπω💙🤍
