A Tour of BRAC ISLAND | The Best Beaches in Croatia?
Fun fact: In this list of the 50 best beaches in the world, Zlatni Rat (which I showed in the video) was voted #1.
bigseventravel.com/2019/07/the-50-best-beaches-in-the-world/
I like Brela more then Zlatni Rat
Gabriel Will you do some air drone videos too like towards youre videos i been waiting forever lol. You the best dude also my favorite videos is when youre in Mexico too. 🙂🙂😀😀🔉🔉👍👍
Not saying I don't like it, but for me a "real" beach has to have sand (not pebbles or rocks)
Daniel Polo We got all kind of beaches, rock, send, pebble, grass
@@rosieg3423 That's great. I haven't seen them in Gabriel's video. :)
he is one of the best solo travler i have ever seen ..
he is and soo experienced and have a solution for everything
Gabriel your travel content is something special, no one shows place so closely than you
Nothing beats Croatia for...the Climate,....the Weather,.....the Beaches,....the Historical Sites,.....the National Parks,......the Food,....the Accommodations,....the Value,....the Beauty,.......and the People!
This is the best travel Channel. Love this 'walk with me' style. I feel like i'm there.
Yes so good
very true. unlike other vloggers who keep the camera on their face and make it seem like a documentary
Definitely! I always thoroughly enjoy them!
Exactly what we need to feel like we are walking beside him. Unlike the other instagram style boring types that show only seconds for each sight .
Thanks again Gabe! First time to comment. That little procession at the end of the vid made me teary-eyed. I remembered my childhood when I used to join processions with my late father. We sang the same song - same tune but different language. I've watched many of your vids, but this is the first time that it made me sentimental. Salamat! (thanks) Take care & safe travels - from sunny Philippines 🇵🇭 🌞
Oh wow Brac is beautiful! I can't wait to start travelling again!!
gosh I wish I was in Croatia right now, I can almost feel the cool adriatic waters, thanks for sharing love your style,you bring so much of the world to me in Montana through your unique lens
Nothing but love for you, Gabe! You are one of my most treasured content creators and I’ve followed your channel longer than any other person on this platform🙌🏽
Love Croatia, been to Pula and Rovinj beautiful places, and the people are amazing, helpful and friendly, fancy Brac or Hvar next, when this horrid Covid goes away. Such an idyllic country, probably my favourite holiday in the last 10 years, superb
This is one of my favorite videos you have done. I love this country
These videos from Croatia are a real eye opener! I had no idea there was so much to see, felt like you could have done with that car for a few more days. Enjoying the videos Gabe.
I agree, Brac deserved a few more days. I wish I'd made it up to that cave, and there were some more beaches to check out.
Croatian coast is full of similar ruins. Croatia, as part of Yugoslavia, was heavy on tourism. When the Yugoslav war broke out, tourism vanished, leaving many hotels bankrupt. Those hotel buildings were basically left to rot. Croatian tourism is now even stronger than before, but it was much easier and much much cheaper to build new hotels than to track down owners of old ruins and then restore them or demolish them.
I see!
That explains it, thanks.
Beautiful Croatia! Thank you Gabriel for sharing ❤😊🙏 stay safe!
🍀Hello... Gabriel... Excellent video... Fantastic place... You have done a superb job...you show all the best... Grazie mille... 🍀
Loving your Croatia vids Gabe!
If i may I'll throw in here an ultra quick course to ease your pronunciation in Slavic languages.
Č = ch
Ć = same as "Č", just a bit softer
Š = sh
Ž = zh (as in "vision" or "usual")
Đ = combination of letters D and Ž (pronounced as "J" in the name "John or "G" in George")
Letters which are the same, but can sound differently in English words:
I = Always pronounced like double "ee" - Beer. Never as - "I" in "Idaho"
R = Always sharp pronunciation (Like Italians would say "pRonto")
A = Always sounds as A in America (in every single worth!)
C = Always pronounced as "ts". Like Tsar (Car(not a vehicle)), or Tsaritsa (CariCa), or Tsunami (Cunami) - Never like C in "CoCaCola".
U = Always as double "oo" in English (Boots). Never as "U" in Utah.
G = Always like G in "Grape" or "G" in your name and never as G in "General"
J = is basically the letter "y" (like in worth "youth" - never pronounced as it sounds in the name "John")
H = is never quiet!
Butn Skalar thank you very mach for tips
@Butn Skalar - many thanks for this - from sunny Philippines 🇵🇭
How on Earth you know this. Im Croatian by myself and have to say, you explaned all these letters perfectlly.
From the beautiful beaches, to running into a religious procession and...chasing goats through the hills. You are one of a kind Gabriel!!!😜
Fascinating. This shows that even an experienced traveler like yourself can get lost on an unmarked trail, and enjoy the experience .
So nice to see so many enjoying their surroundings and company, and not all looking at their phones. Thank you for sharing as always
Oh my God! That water polo set up. You just found my heaven on earth.
I'm from that town. The island league between towns is super competitive and hard core.
@@matko-cro-can I played when I was a kid, but never in a place like that!
@@SU_fan_44 It's really cool. Practices during the day but all matches around early evening. They have flood lights. It's only a town of 500 people or so and the local team is called Lahor (Breeze)
The Adriatic/Mediterranean/Aegean area really suits you. You seem in your element with the beautiful beaches, clear waters, tons of history, and great food. When things calm down I can't wait to see you explore Sicily, Corsica, and Sardinia!
Yes
I m passionate traveller myself.But i get so inspired by Gabriel. He has his own way to show the world !!
As usual a great view of Croatian islands.thank you 👍👍💖
Love everything about your videos, places you explore and the way you film it. YOU ARE THE BEST!!! Thank you for showing us places where we, ordinary tourists, would not dare to go or because we are not fit enough. Can you also show us more of your swimming spots and jumping into that refreshing blue Adriatic sea. Always good to see that. Have fun and keep exploring more of Croatia.
I for one love that you are traveling.. all the others are doing the van life thing (not my cup of tea). Thank u!!! I am eating dinner and watching❤️
They all seem to be doing the van thing. The roads of America are going to be clogged up with the buggers.
The ruin is the "White House" hotel, which was abandoned in 1999 due to a court case. It was one of the first luxury hotels in Bol.
There was a court case between the Republic of Croatia and the Church, more precisely the Croatian Dominican Order. Anyway, a part of the hotel grounds is legally owned by the Dominicans and they sued the county of Bol and Republic of Croatia. It's still ongoing afaik.
I see, sounds like someone must have lost some serious money on that deal.
This makes me want to visit Croatia so badly....when it’s safe, of course. 😀 Nice work.
It's safe now, my friend, by my definition anyway. The infection and death rates YTD are about one-tenth of the rates in California, for example. The most unpleasant part, I imagine, might be the plane ride.
Dave Adair I meant more for me as American. Nobody wants me in their country. I’m damaged goods. 😀
@@AmericanEnglishBrent I'm American too, and Croatia is one of the few countries that will welcome us! You need to have a negative PCR test within 48 hours of crossing into Croatia, and last I heard you also needed to book your accommodation in advance. This website has up to date information:
www.total-croatia-news.com/editorial/43707-croatia-corona-travel
I'm here now traveling with my VW camper van, but under the limitations of a tourist visa. It's a lovely place if you're seriously thinking about traveling!
Dave Adair oh, very cool. I’ll check out your channel. Thanks.
@@mrdavemo u
I went through Croatia 🇭🇷 a couple times when I was serving in Operation Joint Endeavor
That was a really beautiful, scenic video ! Thanks Gabe ! 👍🍺
0:27 Slaven Lunar Kosanović. Is a Zagreb-based artist who emerged from the early Croatian graffiti scene, painting, exhibiting and publishing his works worldwide. Gabriel stay safe.
I have enjoyed exploring this beautiful country with you. Stunning view every where!!! That dinner looked amazing.
Welcome to croatian Gabriel...we have very beautiful islands.
love your country!
@@Travelwithchris Thank you😊
For local food, try "peka", a typical Croatian dish of tender meats and vegetables... meats can include chicken, lamb, octopus, or veal, cooked under a terracotta or iron lid over burning embers... usually accompanied with potatoes... try a truffle burger... Croatian truffles are even more flavorful than their Italian counterparts... if I'm not mistaken, the Motovun forests have the highest concentration of truffles worldwide...
You are not a fan of big crowds, and Makarska is typically crowded this time of year, but it is nice... we usually stay in Podgora, a bit quieter, about ten minutes south of Makarska... but I guess all coastal towns will be crowded.
When in Makarska, and since you like hiking, go to the Biokovo Mountain... the huge one that guards most of that coast, and go to Sveti Jure, the highest peak there, also try the Biokovo Skywalk, the newest attraction there... a translucid skywalk at 1,200 meters high (some 4,000 ft)...
HAVE FUN
Big respect to you Gabriel,for making this high quality content ,and taking us around the world from the comfort of our home .👏👏what a legend
Another excellent video thanks. The further away you get from the beaches, the more interesting the island becomes.
Another great video, showing us all the détails , the beauty , cultural and historic dimension of these magic islands, beaches, churches..
Watching this wonderful video, I felt like I was traveling myself together with Gabriel of course....😃😊👍
Much admiration and best wishes from Paris
👋👋👋
This is the stuff to be telecasted in the TVs ,after Micheal Palin you will forever be remembered in the history ,mark my words Gabriel.
34 minutes of quality spent time !
Sweet.
another outstanding video production from Gabriel 👍
beautiful place
Great video quality and excellent content.
I am loving the almost daily Vlogging Gab. Keeping me sane in lockdown.
Glad I can help.
Very beautiful area and I love all the murals creative ppl at work that makes it so unique n festive! Another fantastic video Gabe, bravo👏 looks like a place I could get used to living. I think what attracts me is the 1600 people population!👍 Until next time my friend stay safe.✌
@superbura9 superbura9 I'm almost 60 which I think is very young still. I would definitely consider it! Only thing is Gabe was saying it's expensive in all the areas he visited. I'm retired now and have a budget of 4200us a month, not sure that whould be enough to live on? I'll have to do more research. It's incredibly clean and the beach look so inviting. I'm. In. Love.😁
@@sunny_dhende6289
Over $4000 a month you will have no problem to find tiny village on one of Croatian Islands and live comfortably, guaranteed.
@superbura9 superbura9 Aww😊thank you for the compliment! Sure, I love me a good cup of Cappuccino 👌sip sip☕ ahhh 🙂🤗
very nice very nice!
It's really beautiful places
If you will be going to the coast next, and plan on moving up northwest I highly suggest the town of Šibenik and its fortresses and perhaps even some of the islands nearby. Those islands are very small and there are no vehicles allowed so it's a contrast to the big touristy islands where you've been for the past month. There is also a beautiful national park Krka near there.
Right on, sounds good.
Don't bypass Primošten on the way to Šibenik. On the other side of town there are also interesting places, after which you can reach the Kornati Islands National Park.
@@kreso6689 Great, thanks.
Sick vid!! Motivation for my travels. Keep it up!
How about a video on the Game of Thrones sites in Croatia. I know it is touristy but now would be the time since tourism would be low.
Man, that abandoned village @18:20 would make a great movie set! Great video Gabriel.
Glad to see the comments on.
Awesome Gabe 😎 what a beautiful place 🥰 keep rocking in the pandemic world 🌎 dude ..... Scotland was very interesting, this time around ☺️ off to York tomorrow and then down south ☺️👍🏼 safe travels man 👋🏼
So amazing watch your videos thank you very much
Makarska Rivijera will be definitely more interesting and beautiful, particularly Brela, Baska Voda, Basko Polje. In Brela they have the most beautiful blueberry ice cream in the world. You have to taste that!
Only recently found your channel but love the way you put your vids together. So real, raw and informative. Slowly working through your back catalogue!
Right on, glad to hear it, enjoy the videos. There are a lot of them.
That was a really beautiful, scenic video! I like your top in the beginning too by the way.
Gabriel, you are an amazing human being! Thanks 🙏🏽 for sharing your beautiful life with us. You have a beautiful heart ♥️! -j
I would love to get in the Ocean right now! Looks beautiful!
Youre not alone, we would all love to take a bath in the ocean right now. Thats why we watch Gabriels videos and dream of it right😄
its not ocean,its sea😁
Pausing work to watch Gabriel's videos! :D
Cool.
Love your enthusiasm for Travel and adventure man. Keep Going!
If you are going to Makarska, visit Omiš, Brela, Cetina (river)...
Jasenovac and Jadovno too.
Glad you getting out n about.....' for us'!🤣😁😸......just be safe♥️🙏
Very nice beach👍
Very nice
Love watching your videos lately. I've been travelling around Cyprus, and now Italy the past month. I'm from Dublin, Ireland. Keep it up!
I'm from Croatia and I love your videos, you're showing places in deep and relaxing mood.. I suggest you to visit island Pag, famous for salt, cheese, lamb, wind, rocky landscape, nightlife in Zrče, triangle (aliens landing) and more.. Keep it up :)
so nice to hear you speak croatian :D
Beautiful island ilove it 😍
Brela, Makarska riviera is one of the most beautiful places in my country...
Excellent video! I always enjoy your vids even when I'm traveling! Cheers from Mexico. Happy trails to ya!
Gabe, did you know that the famous Brac stone was used in building a part of the White House?
That's what I've heard, pretty cool.
Camera footage is super smooth
Excellent.
It's to be observed that so many things should be learnt from you and from your videos.You are so great✔
Just discovered this channel and love it already after only 2 videos, great content....
saw you yesterday in makarska :) small world safe travels vis is nice place to go ;)
Very cool. I'm around these parts.
Beautiful Island
Loving all your recent vlogs, especially in these desperate times when I m unable to travel. Awesome...
PS- Running downhill on Rocky mountain wearing Sandals is very risky? Isn't it... 🤔
Yes, don't try it at home! :)
@@GabrielTravelerVideos haha 😆🤣
the stone things you wondered about were bee hives in the old days
Fabulous episode Gabriel!
Very good reporting, fun to watch. Thank you!
5:25 what an Art best art i ever seen so far in my entire life!
Loved the artwork felt like I was there . Cheers
Awesome stuff, as usual!
Awesome videos. Been following your videos from Nepal. I’m hooked!
Sweet.
Always love your vids Gabriel . All the best mate 👍
You should go in Postira on Island brač. There is a lot of stuff to do.
Loving the videos my friend so much I’ve decided to fly to split on the 15th August in sure you may be gone by then but I’m there for 1 weeks love to buy you a beer 🍻 Mike
Your vibes are great, and that rental car driver is smokin’!
I was just going to suggest in the last video that you go yo Martinica beach and go see if the Dominican monastery was open. It wasn't when I was there either. I kind of knew that you wouldn't miss these places. I also found the little bay like you randomly walking around. Walking a lot has its advantages. Bol is just great. And another great video!
ps. I missed the ruins. That was interesting. I don't how though cause I walked from Bol to Martinica a few times.
Some of that water reminds me of an Oregon lake, but instead it's the sea. Very beautiful.
I liked the sped up jogging footage. Cheers Gabriel. Always love your channel.
A blessed Friday weekend sir Gabriel Wowww what nice beautiful very stunning Brac island of Croatia that place is very unique Wowwww nice historical structures beaches and quiet place to walk around a very relaxing wak around with your sir Gabe thank u so much for your nice excellent Tour keep safe and Godbless from your solid fan viewer supporter from The Philippines sir vhin 🇵🇭🙏👏👏👏👏🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
Great vid. Timelapse awesome
Come to BOSNIA after Gabriel !!!
17:55 Those red markers are found on all trails in Croatia.
A very interesting video!
Hi Gabriel, this abandoned building was hotel called White House.Nobody knows why is closed but there is some stories anout that. 1 story :the hotel could not pay the electricity bill so it was closed. Second is that is dispute betwene dominican monastery and local govorment in bol,Dominicans think that the land where this hotel is belong to monastery. And the third and most relevant story is that hotel was sold for small money and new owner doesn’t care about it. These stories are just theories and none know why this popular and most beautiful hotel in Bol lapsed...
Thank you for opening up the comment section again Gab
Lots of great places even in the close vicinity: Makarska, Trogir, Sibenik, Krka waterfalls. Considering your taste in places Sibenik is most likely a city you will like a lot.
visiting next year because the borders are still closed for my country. awesome content
Which country ?
@@michaelahass2695 Ghana in Africa

O.K. I see...
Greetings from Paris 👋
@@michaelahass2695 I love Paris. il be there next year too. il explore the city then catch a bus to Toulouse so i can get to Andorra
That’s a killer look, by the way, and functional.
Great video. I'd like to see your "in the field" pros & cons of the DJI gimbal cam and the GoPro. Can't say I thought
