People have asked in the comments why I had to get a Covid test to travel, even though I'm already fully vaccinated. The reason is because different countries have different rules, even within Europe. The day after filming this video I flew from Corfu to Italy. (I posted some clips on Instagram: instagram.com/gabrieltraveler) The rules can be confusing and hard to figure out. It wasn't completely clear whether my vaccination card would be enough for me to enter Italy, so I decided to get a Covid test to be on the safe side. Also it can depend on your mode of transportation (whether you fly or cross a land border), on your citizenship as well as which country you are traveling from. Europe is opening up to tourism country by country as we go into summer, but it's not as easy as it used to be to just enter Europe and then travel around freely between countries. Here's a website with updated info about the travel restrictions for every country of Europe: www.euronews.com/travel/2021/07/02/what-s-the-latest-on-european-travel-restrictions

[@nickgrace]

How was the test? Did it use the long qtip or the short one? Going to Greece in September and I understand that US travelers need a covid test 72 hours before departure in order to return to the US.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

I got the antigen test so it was the short q-tip, quick and easy. As far as I know you're right that a Covid test is still required to enter the US. Maybe that will change sometime in the future.

Your Greece vlogs are the best and my favorite. I was in Crete in 2018 and in Kos in 2017, both trips were amazing and very memorable for me. I'm looking forward to return to this amazing country and explore more Greek islands.

[@SpiritualTarotbyYvonne]

Wow..I first went to Corfu in Greece at 18 and fell in love with Greece. I know Corfu like it is my spritiual home. I too created a channel to keep on travelling. We have a kindred spirit. Wow I had no idea there was someone else out there like me. I would love to buy a bolt hole in Greece or Southern Italy.

[@_____J______]

I felt more at home exactly in Greece, Greeks are more welcoming foreigners, by me, than Italians. In Italy foreigners are just milking cows, especially if you are American they'll love you...for your dollars, but got to consider that earthquakes strikes more powerful in Greece, once they strikes

[@ervint8474]

I take the ferry from Saranda, Albania to Kerkyra when I'm there for summer vacation. I have stayed in Benitzes and Kavos in the south. Loved Benitzes!!

[@SpiritualTarotbyYvonne]

@@ervint8474 Ervin.. I have also got the ferry from Corfu to Albania. I visited the blue eye national park. I also love Southern Corfu, but i know all the Island from top to bottom.

[@SpiritualTarotbyYvonne]

@@curiousnomadic I understand about Italy and making life long friends. I wanted to get a bolt hole in Southern Italy so I could get a ferry over to corfu. It is close to corfu but has access via UK with international airports that are accessible all year round. Cheap airfares from London. This is feasible for me. I think this is why I would like Italy. I also would look to make friends with other expats. I understand Italians are not so welcoming as the Greeks.

[@ervint8474]

@@SpiritualTarotbyYvonne. Yvonne, I did the blue eye and Butrint ruins too last summer. Didn't make it to Corfu since the ferries hadn't started operating yet in early June. Went to the island of Sardinia instead.....one of the most beautiful blue waters I ever seen.

Great idea bringing your own blanket. As someone who often gets caught out by hotel blankets being far too hot and thick and thus sleepless nights (I'm especially looking at you China), I've often wished I had something more to my comfort levels. Doing this from now on.

Thanks for this video Gabriel! Corfu was my last holiday that I managed before the pandemic hit. Thank to this video I get to revisit this beautiful place. God I miss travelling so much but refuse to deal with the hassle of quarantines and multiple tests so till everything gets back to full normality your videos will keep me occupied.

Nice video Gabriel me and my wife being going to Corfu every two years since 2013. My wife's dad is from Corfu has a house in South Corfu. I stay at least 20 -30 days my wife 30-40 days. This is place where I want to retire 5 months Corfu 7 months USA. Many of the locals in Corfu are very friendly as long as you show them mutual respect.

Hi Gabriel, I’m guessing at this point you’re going to Montenegro for your next visit. The Fortresses in Corfu was very impressive it must have housed thousands of soldiers and you could see it being a critical strategic military point for overseeing their waterway commercial trade routes and knowing who’s coming and going along the routes.

Hi Gabriel. Ihave to suggest you to visit (if you dont have already) Mani peninsula in Peloponnese. Its a different wild place. I also suggest you to visit in Cyclades the island Tinos. Not for its capital but for the inland and the villages. Especially the road from tinos chora to village Pyrgos has amazing views. All the island has amazing views Also you have to visit the village Volakas. I love Cyclades very much and i thing Tinos is one of the most beautiful secret islands in Greece. Thank you.

[@genny9026]

I first went to Corfu in 1972. A Greek salad with bread and feta cheese cost 15 drachmas, about 25 British pence ie a quarter of £1. A bottle of beer - 13 drachmas. A small tumbler of very nice krassis ( local wine) cost 6 drachmas. ( 10 British pence) We took £50 each for three weeks. ( Camping but not on camp sites) We travelled on local buses, ate very well eg fresh fish eg grilled red mullet or souvlaki and chips, moussaka etc. A large bottle of cooled water cost ten drachs. Had enough money to buy snorkel masks and flippers, postcards and souvenirs. 10 drachma equalled about 16 pence. Bottle of lager beer 21p. A small stick of very nice souvlaki and two pieces of bread from a street seller cost 10 drachmas, about 15/16 pence each. I remember buying a pair of leather Greek sandals measured then made while you waited, in Corfu old town. £4. I still have them. Times have changed a lot, financially, haven’t they. I enjoyed the video. 😁

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Those were the days! That's the year I was born. I went to Greece for the first time in 1990 when they were still using the drachma and it was a lot cheaper then as well.

[@genny9026]

@@GabrielTravelerVideos Yes it was, cheaper even in the 1990’s. I really enjoyed your video. It reminded me of travelling to Athens, Rhodes, Corfu, Paxos, Crete…seeing Knossos and walking the Gorge of Samaria ( about ten miles on rough ground) Ios, Samos, Skiathos, Kos, Santorini, Epirus on the mainland, Meteora, etc with no worries and a not big backpack. 😁 Sleeping on a beach and seeing all the stars and shooting stars or under pine trees listening to the cicadas….it seemed like paradise. I’m glad for the Greeks that they are making more money but the prices now, made my eyes water and I realise how lucky I was to have five weeks holiday then back to teaching in Wales. Yes - when the euro replaced the drachma, prices changed - hugely. All the best - bye ! 😁

[@dusaintel]

Youre going to Albania arent you? Corfu is a beautiful island.

[@monicack523]

The food prices are astronomical! This just confirms how huge an increase in fresh produce and food in general has risen, worldwide ! Your moussaka meal comes to roughly $32 Canadian. That is outrageous. Are people gouging now too, due to all the lost revenue due to covid as well?

[@gregwaters7830]

The real story is that the central banks around the world are printing money, and it's not that prices have risen, but that the value of the currency has fallen.

Hey Gabriel, I know you are right next to Albania so I wanted to tell you something interesting.

No one even touched me for test. I am not getting vaccine, so I have to get tests to travel somehow. Curious if you heard of this before? Travel agency said its for people always traveling.

[@mikeanton9125]

Some places in Canada you are charged $250 for a COVID test. It is beyond ridiculous.
