Greece has so many islands that I will bet you have visited more islands than many Greeks have. 👍

[@Seanney25582]

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

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.

[@panoszampelis1492]

As a matter of fact, ‘karavostasi’ means ‘ship parking place’,

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

That makes a whole lot of sense.

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.

[@wilfredotorres6628]

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.

Regular cow's milk I'm pretty sure.

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...

[@VoiceOfThe]

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.

[@feelingood7]

One of my favourite Greek islands! Perfect Gabriel!!!

[@gsomethingsomething2658]

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.

[@djoker3915]

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

[@panoC97]

The Cyclades islands are always very barren. There's a joke in Greece that goes ''The tallest tree in the Cyclades is parsley''.

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.
