KEA | Secret Greek Island Right Near Athens

[@michellesteinbeiss-bryan7366]

I lost a dear Uncle to leukemia last week. He was 62, never married and no kids. He was a sweet, gentle soul. It caused me to reflect on what is important in life and how short our time is on this planet. The modern world is a crazy place and unfortunately people are not the nicest at times. Time and time again I return back to this travel channel. It always feels like home to me. It must be my wandering spirit. You’re living the best life Gabe! Enjoy every moment! Thank you for this amazing travel channel.

Just when you think it couldn’t get any better, another beautiful Greek Island pops up. Kea is gorgeous. Greece has so many Islands to explore. Would have been amazing swimming in the crystal clear water of the beach, with no other people. Lovely to see Ana again, and great you are showing her the Greek Islands. Life’s good! Cheers and have fun! 🍺😊❤

[@ryansfeet]

Welcome back Anna!

[@jimjim8645]

this humble island of Kea is "world famous" among experienced divers for two very important and famous shipwrecks 1. the wreck of the Britannik (sister ship of the Titanic) which was sunk in 1916 by a German mine and discovered in 1975 by the famous French oceanographer Jacques Cousteau. 2. The wreck of the French ocean liner Bordigala, possibly sunk by the same German submarine! in 1916, and discovered in 2008 by a local group of divers. 3. There is also an old Greek steamship and a German WWII Junkers 52 bomber...

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Cool.

[@jimjim8645]

@@RG-cz1tc I assume you mean the Britannik. It's not a big contribution - as I said the wreck was discovered by Jacques Cousteau with his famous ship Calypso in 1975 who explored it with his team. It is located very close to the port of Kea (about 3 km), at a depth of 120m (400 feet) so only very experienced divers go down...

You can also visit Agistri Αγκίστρι a very small and green island near Athens and near the other island Aegina Αίγινα. Both very close to Athens as is the island of Salamis Σαλαμίνα well known for the battle of Greeks vs the Persian empire in 480 BC.

So nice Gabriel. Good for Anna to get to see some of Greece. After this she has seen more than me of Greece. I have only been to Athens so far. Even though I have been travelling way more than all my friends and relatives, most of them, if not all, have been to one or many Greek islands but not me .......🙂

[@ΕπαμεινώνδαςΛιάσκος]

The drive from Lavrio to Athens when you take the route across the coastline is very scenic. I don't know if you took that drive, probably you didn't since it takes longer, so you took the boring inland highway route. I think that coastline route deserves a video or two of its own.

[@nautaki]

Most definitely, great route going past the Attica south coastline, from Glyfada to Vouliagmeni, Vari, Saronida, ..., Sounio and then Lavrio. Definitely worth it.

[@terrie817]

Hi Gabriel. I know everyone talks about Santorini and Mykonos but my favourite island in the Cyclades is Paros. Bit cheaper than the aforementioned islands and I think Anna would like Naousa. If you want very few people and total chilling check out Elafonisi. And a different one to see is the capital of the Cyclades, Ermoupoli town in Syros. Hydra is lovely also, small but very close to Athens and no cars allowed. Have fun😎

In ancient times,the inhabitants of Kea island,used to commit suicide,during symposiums,by drinking conium(hemlock) like wine,with all their relatives and fellow citizens in a celebration atmosphere.Some because they were old,and didn’t want to live with the fear of old age and problems,others because they were already ill.Euthanasia parties.It’s true,I’m not kidding.Also,the conium Socrates drank and die,they say,it was from this island.Local product.

Is she hot?

[@TheHuski]

Great Video Gabriel. To be honest I much prefer these low Touristy islands to those over infested with people. Much more authentic as they are not chasing money from Tourists.. The 1949 probably refers to the floor being donated to the church... I see it in Churches here in Australia, wealthy Greeks donating items and the Church recognises them with their name and date :). 26:43 The site was funded by the European Union and the Greek people to preserve and restore these ruins for people to visit. As for the building it could have been a dwelling for workers for the site but I'm not certain ...or perhaps they had a Park ranger of sorts who lived on site.

Also, you do not see what happens off camera. You should stop judging and start living.
