Sailing the Greek Islands: Paros, Sifnos, Milos [See the best islands in the Cyclades from the sea]

[@kimmypoopookaras]

You must not have seen much in Paros because it is a beautiful island. I spend every summer there and am very surprised to hear that you didn’t like it. I have been sailing the Greek isles for 30 years so I have a good perspective. If you go back to Greece, give Paros another try but tour around the whole island and I’m sure you’ll change your mind. Beautiful video!

[@JamesandLaurent]

That is absolutely true. We picked up our boat in Paros and never returned there. We didn't get a chance to see Nouasa, which was highly recommended to us. Maybe next time :)

[@cronicasdediamante5802]

Amazing place. Thanks my friend for sharing

[@JamesandLaurent]

You're very welcome!

[@nababannandus6720]

Really nice trip you guys had. The cliffs looks amazing. Thanks for sharing c/t

[@JamesandLaurent]

You're very welcome :)

[@WesLovelace]

This is quite an Adventure you guys are on!! A lot of Beautiful Scenery & unique ports of call!!

[@JamesandLaurent]

It was beautiful indeed :)

[@dimitrisfromgreece6900]

Hi from Greece! Thanks for this video! You are helping us, by showing our islands in such great way!

[@JamesandLaurent]

You're very welcome. We enjoyed our time over there :)

[@chrislovett3052]

Thanks for the great video! I am half Greek and we sailed the Cyclades Islands in 2005. This video brought back a lot of great memories!!

[@JamesandLaurent]

Thanks for the thanks. We loved it as well. Make sure you check out our Part 2 video.

[@TheNearAndAway]

Greece looks so amazing! It’s on our “short-list” of destinations. I love that you guys visited the islands by sailboat! I’ve sailed a lot and think it’s a great way to experience places. All the cliffs and rock formations look awesome! Thanks for sharing! 👍

[@JamesandLaurent]

We're just Sunday sailors. One week every couple of years is the most we can handle :).

[@highlands2hammocks]

Love Greece! Sailing around it looks like a dream!

[@JamesandLaurent]

We had a great time :)

[@TheWorldnUs]

How amazing to be sailing the Greek Islands. You got some beautiful footage. Seeing those dolphins around Sifnos must have been a really special moment for you guys. I also love the way you narrated your trip 👍

[@JamesandLaurent]

Yes, the dolphins swimming along the boat were one of the highlights of our trip. We're both bad actors and not that comfortable in front of the camera. The narration is the way we have found to make our videos more lively. We've been told the chemistry between the two of us in the narration is what makes our videos :)

[@CheerstoTravels]

will be going to Greece in Sept for the first! we cant wait! you guys made sailing look so fun! those colorful homes by the water...wow! good call on getting to the sykia caves early! enjoyed watching this, thank you for sharing! ~sara c/t

[@JamesandLaurent]

Our 2nd video of the Greek Island, which will be up when we get around to editing it, will have even more beautiful scenery.

[@SailingArgo]

Hi you guys! So well put together. Love Greece 🇬🇷 thanks for sharing.

[@JamesandLaurent]

Since you guys were first on the thread, we picked this video thinking you would like it :).

[@SailingArgo]

James and Laurent's World Travels That’s so nice 👍 We love your sailing episodes 😍 Best wishes from Marena and Roger

[@AndrewPrior]

Great video guys and love the editing. Good job and thanks for sharing.

[@JamesandLaurent]

Thanks for the kind words :). Just curious, how did you stumble across our channel?

[@AndrewPrior]

Bonjour, not sure I think it came up in one of my feeds or actually it might have been from another video I was watching that you might have commented on. I'm always looking at the comments on videos I love to find creators that enjoy them as well and see what they do. But to be frank I'm just on youtube so much it does get confusing. Anyways love the video so thanks :)

[@MitchSwift]

wow, this looks brilliant, you must have had lots of spectacular moments ... the dolphins and the sunset looked amazing :)

[@JamesandLaurent]

The dolphins came out of nowhere and it clearly was one of the highlights of our trip 🐬🐬🐬.

[@nickandhelmi]

Thanks for dropping by my travel channel guys! James and Laurent this is an amazing shot of the island - ive always wanted to go to greece, but with the amount of annual leave i have :D its difficult to pick which and which... over the other bucket list places i wanted to go.. but i guess i just have to do it haha.. c/t - lol medical condition called wuss + champagne haha

[@JamesandLaurent]

Thanks. We love your channel too :)

[@nickandhelmi]

:D

[@FionaMarr]

Sunset timelapse was gorgeous! Ct Subbed!

[@JamesandLaurent]

Thanks for noticing. Lots of time just to get these few seconds of video. A lot more timelapse coming in our second Greek Island video, which will be up wen we get around to editing it :)

[@pinayworldtraveler]

i believe you really love sailing, i could tell by watching your other video

[@JamesandLaurent]

Haha. We're not real sailors, but once in a while, yes :).

[@TripleP]

Wow looks stunning! :) Love all the shots. c/t

[@JamesandLaurent]

Thanks a lot for the words of encouragement :)

[@TaziarTravel]

Loved this video!!! Subscribed CT... One of the best videos I have seen on KZbin. Love your style of filming and editing. Looking forward to more views.

[@JamesandLaurent]

Thanks for the kind words. It means a lot to us. As you can imagine, a lot of work goes into editing. We're glad you enjoyed it.

[@BillMintjeHD-Brussels-Belgium]

Guys...... we love Paros & Sifnos but Milos is just awesome, beautiful cave 😍😍.Thanks for sharing . c/t

[@JamesandLaurent]

Yes, Milos was beautiful :).

[@adventuresindixonland469]

Amazing! Another great video! "Hair mess is actually a great name for a greek boat" lol

[@JamesandLaurent]

Haha! Reading your comment from Lansing, MI :).

[@dimitristripakis7364]

Greetings from Greece, This video is very well made (I live here in the Cyclades islands). 6K views is unfair, It should have 600K. Cheers!

[@JamesandLaurent]

Dimitris, thanks for the kind words. We are small KZbinrs and 6K is a good amount of views for us, so we're happy with it 😉.

[@TheAnthonyScene]

When I get some time off, I'm going to Greece.... I hope... thanks for the vid, heading off to watch 'Part2'. "c/t"

[@Delta68Geo]

Looks like you had a great trip, unusual name for a church, I would've found it difficult on the rough boat ride as I get motion sickness, looks like a fab swim, interesting rock formations, sop many cats!! Great video very nicely done. New subscriber 👍🔔.

[@JamesandLaurent]

We found it difficult too :). Luckily, the sea was only rough on that very first day. It was smooth sailing after that... literally :)

[@TheJourneyest2016]

A day on the water does it get better than that? The beautiful waves the beautiful scenery and good company. You guys got me jealous I would love to sail around Greek Islands.

[@JamesandLaurent]

We highly recommend it :)

[@KristynaRomain]

It doesn’t sound that windy but it’s normal 😊 you are having great channel and keep doing great job! We would love to come to Greece it looks amazing what you have done there! 😍 c/t

[@JamesandLaurent]

We love your channel too. Bon voyage :)

[@G3Travels]

Looks so beautiful over there! G3 would loves the water so he would love jumping of the boat and doing flips.. I on the other had am a sitting on the boat sipping Rose kind of person! lol! We would definitely like to explore this part of Greece one day.. So far been to Mykonos and Santorini.. :) Great video! c/t

[@JamesandLaurent]

Glad you enjoyed it :)

[@JustPrissy]

i love how clear that water is 😍 c/t

[@JamesandLaurent]

It was even prettier in real life than on camera :).

[@JustPrissy]

i hope i can travel there someday as well ❤

[@WanderlustingCouple]

Hey loved the video, quite informative it is .. c/t 😀☺️

[@temperateortropical161]

Unique in world.

[@JamesandLaurent]

And seeing it from a boat was a great experience :).

[@NomadicGear]

Those waters tho, so blue! And I always hate when the dinghy flips over haha luckily it didn't look too hard to flip back! -c/t

[@JamesandLaurent]

Since I was filming, I didn't have anything to do to put it back upright :)

[@EricBKirkland]

Great video. What a way to travel. C/t Subbed

[@JamesandLaurent]

Thanks.

[@heysamnang]

wow that water is beautiful! nice back flip..i think i will need to drink the ''medicine'' before i try :) c/t

[@JamesandLaurent]

It was our skipper. We're incapable of doing that 😁😁😁.

[@NatasjavE]

Parros is verry beautiful. You had to go to Naousa. Thats a fantastic harbour.

[@JamesandLaurent]

We know, but we were trying to cramp a lot in a week and sailing all the way to Milos took time :).

[@RadiantRealty]

Looks so beautiful! So which should I do first...Croatia or Greek Islands??? They are both on my list :) c/t

[@JamesandLaurent]

We don't want to upset our Greek followers, but if you have to do one, we recommend Croatia over Greece. The landscapes are greener and more beautiful in Croatia. The cities of Split and Korcula are more beautiful (and we didn't even do Dubrovnik, still on our list). The food is better. And as far as sailing goes, the marinas had a lot more amenities. That being said, the Greek islands were spectacular too. It's just that Croatia was even better.

[@marcelfr90]

James and Laurent's World Travels Oh, boi, you did upset me. Haha. The thing is that the Cyclades are way more unique than the Croatian islands. I mean, Greece has also greener islands like the Sporades or the Ionian islands and Corfu town (where I hail from) has nothing to be jealous of of Dubrovnik. Facts are facts.

[@JamesandLaurent]

We were hoping you wouldn't see this comment :) We'll do the Ionians islands some day.

[@RadiantRealty]

Great, thank you for the honest advice!!! Much appreciated

Like 19. Hello my friends 😁 👋🌼🌿

[@AdventureEverywhere]

There's something about kayaking around an old Pirate cove that just sounds super cool! c/t

[@JamesandLaurent]

Yes, Milos was a beautiful island :).

[@AntonisDiakakis]

I really like how you drew the day 1 and so on. Is that shopped or a trick I can do to? lol

[@JamesandLaurent]

An easy trick you can do by just reversing the video.

[@marcelfr90]

WUSS, ahahahahaha ... Pauvre Laurent... I agree on Paros. Not my cup of tea either. Btw, it's Sykià (stressed on a) and it means fig tree. Kléftiko means the place of thieves.

[@JamesandLaurent]

Your Greek keyboard has a lot more options than ours :) Place of thieves would explain the pirate cove. Not clue about fig tree as we didn't see much vegetation in that cave :)

[@marcelfr90]

James and Laurent's World Travels According to a quick google search, there is (was;) a fig tree near the opening of the cave on top. Go figure...

[@JamesandLaurent]

How did the exams go by the way?

[@marcelfr90]

James and Laurent's World Travels Haven't finished yet. Two more to go and I'm done. I study medicine btw.

[@petitpoucet2258]

If you study medicine, were you familiar with the WUSS condition that Laurent has, haha

[@viciouspunkgamer.1576]

Likeeeeeee 👍 saludos cordiales.

[@JamesandLaurent]

Thanks. As always :)

[@sb6615]

Oh that cure for WUSS looks divine. Sadly I could not read the label of such french sparkling pink loveliness. Care to share?

[@JamesandLaurent]

Haha. The specific brand doesn't really matter. We have had good luck with Greek wines in general :).

[@princeboheme]

The background music you have chosen is a bit agravating. I would choose a completely different kind of music to match the scenery.

[@JamesandLaurent]

Sorry :(

[@KikiTikiIRL]

I want to make it to Greece before we have to move from Italy.

[@JamesandLaurent]

We hope you get the chance to travel to Greece.

[@AntonisDiakakis]

lol @ the church with a hundred doors which doesnt have 100 doors hahaha

[@JamesandLaurent]

Whatever happened to you?

[@sualynn]

Nice job !! Very well done ! 👍 Sub ! Ct

[@JamesandLaurent]

Thanks :)

[@AntonisDiakakis]

I have a cure for WUSS 😂

[@JamesandLaurent]

As shown in the 1-minute pull-up challenge? Remember that one😂?

[@EricExplores]

Looks like an amazing trip. The food you guys cooked on the boat looked like seriously good eats. Looking forward to more videos. Just subbed! I'd appreciate sub back; I make travel and food videos, which I think you might enjoy!

[@JamesandLaurent]

Done
