The most beautiful islands in Greece are less known to tourists.Everybody travel in santorini mykono paro naxo crete rhode corfu ,but the small islands are the best.Greerings and hugs from Greece 🇬🇷❤❤

You been a favorite of mine but when you said "Greece is my favorite country" this Greek American became quite happy!

[@stevenoliver9728]

This series is an eye opener. I never even heard of some of these islands. It makes me realize how little I've actually seen of the world.

[@makemoneywithnarelle]

Great video! I'm an Aussie who just fell in love with the Greek Islands 25 years ago. I have travelled to 9 of them and at the age of 51, I would love to visit more. Greece is a magical place.

[@shubhamvishwakarma317]

That’s quite an inspiration for younger people like me…. U rock! Hope u travel more!! 😁 🥂

[@makemoneywithnarelle]

@@shubhamvishwakarma317 thank you so much. I plan to travel more. I hope you also have many happy travels also :)

[@ellas9206]

It's well known Aussies have great taste & that's why I decided to visit there in '63. I was 4 & its been a long visit. Even if you don't get there, look up Nidri the beaches & more on Lefkas - even Winston used to take his vacations there.

[@tigrotom7312]

Nothing more beautiful than Greek islands in June.

Love Greece, especially Corfu it's a magical island

[@FSVR54]

I'm flat out jealous of anyone that gets to live in those beautiful towns

[@sirapos6550]

Well,you shouldn't be actually. Greek islands are picturesque and easy going,but trust me,you don't want to live in one of them forever,unless it is a big island,like Creta,Rhodes,Corfu,Lesvos. Nisyros is only a small island and it is ideal for holidays but if you chose to live there permanently,you would regret it. In the wintertime,islands of this size are almost empty and if you needed medical treatment you would be in trouble. And Greek people seem to be so happy and friendly,but this is not the case. Trust me,I am Greek and I know Greeks like the palm of my hand !

[@sirapos6550]

@Tabby by the sea Well,yes,the volcano included,lol !!

[@cdtape]

You are so lucky to travel for a living. If I were you I'd be traveling around all Greek islands all summer, especially small ones. They are the best.

[@lunallenagr]

In Greek Mythology when God Poseidon was chasing giant Polivoti with Zeus orders he cracked with his triane island Kos and throw that big stone to him, This stone is Nisyros island❤

[@slaxmax9219]

Yup - those shrines by the road are for the people who died at that location in car accidents - but not only for that purpose, some are just small shrines. Those are called iconostases or kandilakia...

[@evacrabb5294]

Another great day of exploring! The towns are so beautiful!

[@NomadShifu]

A small, quiet Dodecanese island in the south Aegean Sea between Kos, Tilos and Astypalea, Nisyros is most well-known for its active volcano that has one of the world's largest hydrothermal craters, as well as its hot springs including Loutra and Pali.

[@ingridwatsup9671]

Thank you, now that is how you should start a documentary like this.

[@marafarnham595]

Thank you Gabriel ❤😎🌊☀️ seeing videos of Greece never gets old!

[@motorheadanthrax]

I'm Greek and I haven't been even to half the islands you already visited. Hope you have a great time!

[@Kolious_Thrace]

It’s nice to see that people from other countries visit other islands than Mykonos and Théra (Santorini). There are sooooo many different islands with different vibes that is a shame that 80% of the tourists only know Mykonos… 🇬🇷Hellas isn’t just Mykonos guys! Take your research and visit less known islands!

[@theadventuresofbrockinthai4325]

Hey Gabriel, I thought for sure you would buy that place with the toilet in the hallway and fix it up so you could have a place to stay when you come to Greece. Then you can rent it out during the times you're not going to be there. LOL You know it's not a bad idea if you have lots of money to invest. If you like Greece like you do, you could go there every year and spend 3 months exploring. That enclosed two wheel thing you saw was a motorcycle and they enclose it with that shell. I was thinking about buying one of them for here in Thailand because of all the rain we get but I bought a new Honda 350. It's a little big for me because of my balance problem so I'm gonna put a sidecar on it. That way I can go anywhere I want to and carry a tent and all kinds of other stuff.

[@helenwilliamson7099]

Beautiful, looks like it might have been a well of some sorts ❤

[@ozmunky]

Hey Gabe -- you mentioned this is your 35th Greek Island -- is there a link or some text anywhere that says which ones are your faves and/or the pros and cons of each? Maybe you did a video on this somewhere that answers it? A lot of your subs would enjoy something like that.

[@FSVR54]

If he hasn't, he should make one

[@LennonAmos10]

We are finally here. Writing to you from nisyros! Thank you for letting us know about this island. And now we are here visiting for a week. There is no way to truly capture it. We love this place so far.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Lucky you, have a great time.

[@andybaker2456]

I haven't watched the video yet (something to look forward to this evening!), but I recently worked remotely from Skopelos for two weeks, although Nisyros was my second choice of island. I only chose Skopelos in the end because the WiFi in the Airbnb I found in Nisyros didn't sound that reliable! I was more than happy with my Skopelos choice, but still hope to get to Nisyros later in the year. 😊

[@ANNY565]

Very nice villages, simple but so beautiful and quiet and the path between the buildings looks great.

[@iloveasia3765]

Hello Gabriel, I think you are in love with Greece hhhh

[@unclejake154]

You have done so many incredible videos and this one is just excellent. It was very enjoyable to watch you explore the little village that is between ruin and restoration. Thank you, from Gabriola Island, British Columbia, Canada.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Great, glad you enjoyed.

[@CaptainOatwright]

A great video - v interesting and varied- Nisyros looks very beautiful and definitely somewhere we now intend to visit. We’re actually traveling from UK to Thassos island at the end of June, we know unlikely but would be great to see you go there or even accidentally bump into you on a walk! 🇬🇷

[@sirapos6550]

Oh,I love Thasos. I live in central Greece and Thasos is a good and more accesible destination,because I don't need to travel long and endless hours aboard a ship or a ferry. Thasos is ideal in many aspects. But it is being discovered by more people,year by year and it is now a bit not that easy going like it was in the past. In the late 80s,when I first spent holiday time there,it was a secret paradise really.

[@FATALiTYo]

Nika is my town. Haven't been there in 11 years so thank you for showing me again.

Thanks for that great video As a matter of fact my dad was born in that old village called Emborio He then left Nysiros for Melbourne I personally spent quite some time at Emborio as a kid in the late 60´s and I can remember having used what you thought was a toilet. I fact it was a well where people used to Go and get their water from. Thanks again for your vids and keep up the great job you’re doing

Thank you, Gabriel (always) for sharing your travels with us. You go the distance so we can engage in a bit of ... robe-trotting (armchair travelling sometimes wearing just our jammies / PJs), rather than globe trotting. Those striped kitty-kats are so damn kute! I wonder how they get fed. Many look so SCRAWNY, poor things! And, the villages are also so pretty AND picturesque, as well.

Moussaka is great. You can cook it when you visit your mother in California. Gabriel, you can use your mother's kitchen to cook the moussaka. It is very rewarding. 🥘

[@SuiGenerisAbbie]

Gabriel, question, for you, please: Provided that you ever take a rest from travelling, and decide to settle down anywhere, would that "Anywhere" ever be ... Greece? Another question for you, please: You seem to pack a lot into your days. On average, what time of the day do you get up and then, hit the hay? Curious only because you seem to make a lot of hay whilst the sun is shining, every day.

[@kenmasters2034]

Nice video as always.Any plans to visit north Aegean islands?(Chios, Lesbos, Lemnos)They are very beautiful with lot of history to see... Wish you the best for your travells. P.s.I said it before in an other video of yours and i will say it again. At 34:54 you are looking like Gerald from the Witcher videogame when is ready to loot a chest in ancient Greek ruins...😆

That is not a toilet but a cistern (water reservoir),, you can see the groove around the top, that's were the lid would go to keep it sealed,, you retrieve the water just like you would a well.

[@arisspyrou1163]

This is not a toilet. This is access to rainwater storage or a well.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

I agree that makes a lot more sense. In the comments under the previous video people said it was a toilet, but that doesn't seem like the right place for one. Looks more like a water storage tank.

[@user-ov1vx1nv5v]

Welcome to Nisyros Gabriel! This year is very important, because Nisyros is currently working its way to join UNESCO's list of Global Geoparks! As the youngest stratovolcano in Greece (only 160000 years old), it features unique and mesmerizing morphological features like domes, faults, lava flows and of course the well known Hydrothermal craters... Stefanos is indeed one of the largest in the world! A visitor at Nisyros will get to witness things nowhere else to be found in our country (even more impressive than Santorini, geologically speaking)... The entire island is completely volcanic and this, along with its rich history, the traditions, the tangible and intangible heritage, make our island a strong candidate for worldwide recognition! As a contributor to the effort of Nisyros becoming a unesco global Geopark (I'm a geologist), I hope you enjoyed your visit!! Thanks for showing the island to your wide audience, and the world!

[@sirapos6550]

Καλησπέρα. Γενικώς κάτι γίνεται φέτος με την Νίσυρο και με την Αστυπάλαια,όλο σε λίστες τις βλέπω,σχετικές με πράσινη ανάπτυξη κλπ. Νίσυρο είχα πάει πολύ παλιά και μου είχε κάνει τρομερή εντύπωση. Ελπίζω κάποια στιγμή να την επισκεφτώ ξανά.

I’m honestly surprised Greece isn’t more popular. It’s the best. So many people going to Thailand or Egyptian resorts or whatever instead. Why?

[@annwilliams5590]

Greece is hugely popular! In 2019 it had over 31 million visitors. That puts it 8th on the Europe list, behind countries such as France, which has the highest number of visitors in the world, Italy, Spain and UK. Try getting a room on a busy island like Mykonos in August, when you’re also competing with Greek tourists!!

[@dreammfyre]

Ann Williams yeah, but compared to Spain it’s still kinda low tho no? It should be top3 with how awesome it is. But maybe we should be grateful, because then it would a lot more crowded than it is now...

[@wilfredotorres6628]

Hi Gabriel, Stunning pictures of the volcano these Islands over the years must have experienced some bad earthquakes at least that's how I'm viewing the damage, and some people just decided not to come back. I often wonder whether you're deciding on seeking Greek citizenship and also seems a good place to fly out from the middle of Europe close to all the areas you travel to. There's no doubt it's a fascinating country a mix of the modern world and the past a very unique country.

[@margietucker1719]

Gabriel already has dual citizenship---The US, and Canada. I wonder if we are allowed to have more than 2? Or as many as we want?

[@ketoauntie7301]

@@margietucker1719 Depends on the country or your political/elite status for having more than two. Too many things going on in Greece yet that tourists may not know about, it is good to wait until things clear up in about another 2++ years or who knows how much more, like 2030.
