Here's Part 1 in which I talk more about the prices of hotels, rental cars, food and ferries while traveling in Greece: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqDGY4Scn86tpJo

[@AMat-vx3ew]

The flag of Greece contains nine equal, horizontal and alternating white and blue parallel stripes. The blue and white color symbolize the colors of the Greek sky and sea. The nine stripes correspond to the syllables of the historical phrase "Freedom or Death", "Ελευθερία ή Θάνατος" as well as to the letters of the word "Ελευθερία" "Freedom" The Cross symbolizes our religion and the 4 points of the horizon. The official flag of the state has another detail, which is found only in public service buildings and in the army. The pole is white and has a white sphere with a cross on its head this is the meaning and symbolism of the Greek flag very good presentation for all the places you have visited, I would say objective, thank you very much my friend

ΠΕΣΟΝΤΕΣ = PESÓNTES - The Fallen (memorial for those killed in the field of battle)

[@andreimihaesi]

Nothing better than opening KZbin with my coffee in the morning to see Gabriel discovering a NEW Greek island! 😎🇬🇷

[@johncopeland3826]

The euphoric feeling in your heart you must experience when visiting these wonderful ,charming ,outstanding islands of Greece, is to my mind unimaginable. Large, medium, or small sized islands ,it makes no difference to the joyous sight of paradise.

[@terriealexander2344]

jurassic world came to mind

[@sonntagskindlein]

What exactly is charming on a dry rock? Almost no vegetation, too hot to go biking. Even too warm for hiking. The small villages, though, are very nice.

[@skatiarhs007]

@@sonntagskindlein so you can visit those islands at Autumn, also there are so many green islands for your taste

[@johncopeland3826]

@@sonntagskindlein I always thought charming meant pleasant , delightful, beautiful etc. You obviously did not see the waterfront, coastal views or the hotel backdrop and surroundings! Why can't someone these days opine a subject without a snide comment! It was only an opinion, no one got hurt! It's all good !!

[@sonntagskindlein]

@@johncopeland3826 You have been talking about the islands, which includes their nature, but not the sea around them. Looking at an entire island it‘s a dry rock. Either only in summer or the whole year. It‘s not like Scotland. But still, the little villages on these islands are indeed charming, the rest just isn‘t.

[@jelloev1]

In this ever hostile world full of insanity it is a blessing to unwind in Greece with you!

Gabe should be getting paid by the Greek tourist board! Literally planning a trip in my head while watching this!..

[@Botoburst]

No, he'd lose his independent ways.

[@AnkleSnapper72]

The thing I like about Gabriel is, is his videos are so easy to watch. He takes on the journey with him, it's never, Oh look at me, it's always about the city/town/forest/island he is visiting. This island looks a great little spot to get away from it all.

[@arvindgoudar1586]

All the small islands you have shown are so clean. Don't see any rubbish strewn around. Even the water in the bay looked clean with no garbage floating around. Thumbs up to the civic authorities who maintain the public places..

[@JC-oj7ci]

Gabe your videos are like Greece: Enjoyment!

[@Evagelopoulos862]

Τῆλος -Tilos ,Mythological named from the son of Alias ,sister of Helios (sun). During the 7th century BC ,Tilos and Rodos(Rhodes) founded the colony of Gelas in Sicily. The monument on 7:35 is a monument to the fallen of Greek revolution against Ottoman empire. The whole island is a huge ecological park and is protected by international conditions. An island with rugged, mountainous but verdant volumes, with hills and valleys where four hundred species of flowers and herbs grow, live many species of rare birds (eagles, hawks, nightingales, goldfinches, herons, bee-eaters, etc.)

[@helencarandreou7368]

Thank you Gabriel for this video. I grew up on the island of Samos but I live in Australia now. I missed all the sounds and smells of Greece, like church bells ringing, the cicadas and the friendly people. Very much appreciate everything you do

[@johnthompson3226]

That's the same hotel I stayed in when I toured the Dodecanese in 2019. It was even better value then - 160 euros for the week, including breakfast. I liked Tilos a lot - the clear water, the warm breezes, the relaxed pace. There's a bus leaves the little town square in Livadia every morning for Megali Chora and the northern end of the island. I took it several times to get to Eristos Beach - it's a big picturesque bay, and I had it nearly all to myself every time I went. Like you, Greece is my favorite place. I've been traveling Europe over the summer for the last decade (though not 2020 or 21), currently in the Canary Islands, but will be back in Greece next month. Can't wait.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Awesome, enjoy the Canaries. 😎

[@phillippalee1966]

I visited Tilos many many years ago and stayed up in the old village. It was really rustic, and wonderful. Its an island I keep on meaning to return to. Just very relaxed

[@Polychronisdrone]

[@roulamylonas5413]

Gabriel it's an amazing amazing video, you are shooting the most beautiful views. I'm from Greek but my family run away many years ago from one of the islands opposite of the coast of Ismir , they told us it was a hard time. I really like to visit these islands again . Thank you very much Gabe for sharing us all the details . I'm waiting inpatient your next video . Greece is Heaven on Earth earth 😘👏

[@hipparchos]

If you're still there when you read this please make sure to visit Megalo Horio and Mikro Horio which are inland. Mikro Horio is actually an abandoned village which I think you'd find interesting. Also there's a museum about dwarf elephants in Megalo Horio and a cave nearby where they were found. It wasn't open to the public (the cave) when I was there but it's been many years.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Yep, all that will be in the next video, just finished it.

[@Maria___28]

You need to go to next Village called Megalo Chorio. There is a medieval castle on top built by the knights of st. john. There is also a monestary on the other side of the island called St. pantelemion. There are great hiking and trails on this tiny island.

[@runner1984]

Castle is in a bad state...neglected.

Wow what a gem of an island! We can feel your love for Greece in every video. Tilos looks so pretty. I always love it when you show us your accommodation too! Have an amazing time there Gabriel!

[@samcarter1898]

Thanks Gabriel, you’re a great guide and it’s so nice to see Greece at this time of year. I was in Skopelos a couple of years ago and it was really nice. I don’t know if you’ve been there but Skopelos town is really nice and also Panormas beach is really nice and there is a great beach bar there that serves great food. Also wonderful swimming at that beach. Cheers

[@davenelson9505]

You've made it very easy to choose Greece as a travel destination. Not epic beaches IMO but nice water and chilled atmosphere. Definitely on my bucket list. The food doesn't appeal to me that much from what I've seen. But I love Olives.

[@makemoneywithnarelle]

What a stunning Greek Island. Your hotel is value packed for the price. Cheese, crackers and olives with a beer looks like a great dinner :) Following your Greek journey eagerly.

Lovely to see you sail into tilos Gabe and see your enthusiasm for the chance to discover explore a whole new island, your hotel is lovely and a great bargain price this island would be perfect for a couple on honeymoon who wanted to just escape from it all and have peace and quiet to themselfs i presume the per night price of your hotel room is the same price for a couple to stay the night as it is for a single person staying per night it looks very quiet on tilos mind you it also looked quiet on nisyros for the time of year ,but possibly tilos is always a lot quieter even in high season than other islands . looking forward to seeing more of tilos .happy travels

[@claudiaberger9639]

Speaking of prices. 12:50 As Austrians, we vacationed in Croatia in the 1990s, during the Balkan War. On the island of Cres in the village of Valun. At that time still an absolute insider tip, today a tourist hotspot. At that time, I gave the waiter 60 Austrian schillings as a tip (4.40€) The waiter then closed the restaurant, and he spent the rest of the day with us tourists. Those were the days in the 1990s...

[@wilfredotorres6628]

Hi Gabriel, what an amazing location this Tilos is so far, I find it more interesting than Nisyros. The volcano on Nisyros is the main attraction Tilos seems larger with more of a mountain area. I'm sure you'll find out more about what the Island has to offer in terms of sites but with many of the Islands, it can't be that much different in terms of things to do and see there, all the islands are beautiful in their own way. Of course, some offer more for tourists, and some are more secluded, it's just a question of where you want to go to.

[@Nighthawk2211]

This place has such a nice vibe! Thanks for the show, Gabriel!

The name of the island with the mining operation off the coast of Nisyros is Yali. They mine pumice. In a comment on a previous video, I mentioned that I'd stayed at a workers' hostel when visiting Nysiros in 1972. The hostel where I stayed provided rooms for the workers who went to work in Yali in the morning, returning to Nisyros at the end of the day.

An amazing island so different from the rest.Its epic that the water is right next to the houses.
