Great story telling. Loved the time lapse sail sets.

[@svporqueno]

Good god...gorgeous...the island looks pretty nice too ;-)

[@jakezarbrezhoneg4110]

👌🏻 Merci to you both .😎

[@francisnewmarch6837]

Great little documentary. I lived for two plus years on a yacht about twenty years ago based in the southern Peloponnese. Your film rekindled many memories. Many thanks and Merry Christmas from Loutraki Greece

[@francisnewmarch6837]

Thank you, I hope that you have fun In the new year. Love you from Loutraki Greece

[@ivanescobar894]

my favorite part was your interaction with the octopus!! and the view of the restaurant where you guys had lunch!! amazing

[@K0KK0N]

Yup, this channel will blow up, patience.

[@Dylanmagaster.]

What do you think? Does Skopelos look worth the visit?

[@juliemac5604]

1. Wasn’t that monastery on the island where the wedding was held in Mama Mia 2? 2. By not formally introducing us to your new friend, we are left with sooooo many questions. Curious minds, and all. 3. The Netflix film My Octopus Teacher is a must-watch!

[@Knueppel_Heinz]

1. yes, Three Pines was also in the movie. I think both was in the first one.

[@laszlonagy9621]

Defenitly,yes..I spent a couple of weeks there…i love it so much

[@StanosMarios2579]

I dont think Skopelos is underrated.

[@YesSirPhil]

@@StanosMarios2579 not underrated. Just not well known...

[@Britbabe53]

OMG gorgeous place and that Octopus footage... the best!!

[@hermespsychopompos8267]

We eat octopuses barbecued with a little lemon and some other "secret" stuff. If you try Greek octopus, you might faint from how incredible it is. You've been warned 🙃

[@jeffscherer1078]

Great video, thanks.

[@dimigian]

Hi from Skopelos, love the video! :)

[@anthonycamacho6475]

Beautiful video

[@Pioneer1210]

Excellent video! thank you

[@ItsmeAlexCrete]

Skopelos is really a hidden treasure!

[@muhammadsafyan1323]

Beautiful looking forward video

[@wetcrow_com]

Great video. Thanks

[@FloatingOrbProductions]

I think I would like to visit the island. Looks nice.

[@loneranger9485]

My goodness the cinematography is exquisite . 🤘😌

[@aigleroyal3941]

This island is not AT ALL underrated!!! At least for the Greeks... Probably for the foreign visitors, where they are duped by believing that Mykonos or Rhodes are "ideal" holiday destinations! Skopelos is a stunning, very green, remarkable island and one of my favourites!

[@cornells.1727]

If you really like a place so much you keep quiet, it's the best thing and biggest favor you can do for it. Once it becomes famous, it's over. This unstoppable desire to brag about things is terrible... and all just to show that you know something. Good for you, we all know sanctuaries like this and I would never tell you about them. Only the locals really care about them and the fewer outsiders find out, the better. So learn to be quiet, kid.

[@leemacgregor]

love it !!

[@justinvanderwalker7603]

The monasteries at Meterora are incredible! We were just there and were just in awe!!

[@nicolettecoetzee7339]

My favourite Greek island. Loved it there.

[@EktorTsolodimos]

Great video.

[@mlcs179]

I agree, the people who made the roads, pathways, stairs etc what an amazing feat.

[@kaltsohe]

It's unbelievable what happens with this island. Is one of the places someone should visit in Greece. I am not from Skopelos but I felt in love with this when I first visited in 2009. Since then i visit it almost every 3 years. Check the beaches.There are sites with details photos etc and you will fall in love too. PS:Stafylos my favourite beach but not so far from the rest.

[@julianfiacconi709]

You are an amazing modern day adventurer. Thank you so much. From a now armchair sailor.

[@koilakanthos]

The shell is a Tonna galea and it's the biggest gastropod of the Mediterranean. It can grow as big as a football! Nice video!

[@annisartinakos3881]

Enjoy your stay in Greece..You are one of us now..!

[@Knueppel_Heinz]

Might the last anchorage / bay be Limnonari? Loved it. Had the best "Halva" in my life there!

[@ginakleinejaeger4997]

This is my first time watching your video. Very nice! Beautiful! The music was very soothing, totally took me away. I was supposed to go to Greece in the summer of 2020 and of course Covid ruined that. Thank you for sharing!

[@dennispetrovic8466]

Enjoyed the video, but also enjoyed the music. Would like to know where I can find it.

[@alexhimis7229]

Exellent job, Greece iis beautiful and food very nice.

[@jamesuno6254]

Nice video of Skopelos, Okta-pous eight-feet in Greek

[@WherenextPK]

You are BRAVE with your drone! Top work, great video, please make the suggested idea of an Octopus video!

[@hellomynameistony]

One of my favorite islands.

[@samandjennysambrook]

Loved you're video...been there many times, including the church on the rock...we return next June 23. Can't wait.☀️⛵🏖️👍

[@user-xh9rz7rf8l]

The word octopus is compound and comes from the two Greek words "οκτώ/octo=eight"+"πούς/pus=leg". It describes the sea animal that has eight legs.

[@Niamaj]

when a drone goes on holiday, haha. Love it

[@felipealcabri]

It's octoplural. Trust me! hahaha. I loved how you edit the video! Amazing.

[@stevecox9714]

Favorite part was the title: “A boy and his drone”. As usual very entertaining. There’s a great documentary on Netflix called My Octopus Teacher…

[@davedavids9619]

Looks kind of fresh. Which month of the year was this ? Around October ?

[@tonytony7165]

Είστε ωραίο ζευγάρι . Εύχομαι να περνάτε τέλεια σε όλη σας την ζωή.

[@silvialinzneier7892]

It's so sad to see the wood of Cap Amaranthos after a big wildfire. This was a really magical place before....

[@carmeliecuaresma235]

That octopus is really smart!

[@BibleMadeSimple]

Would love to know more about your sail mate:). Where is she from? How did you meet her?

[@Gk-ug6gu]

Girl looks like greek. And her name is also greek. And her pronunciation when speaks is like greek or spanish.

[@garyroberts3859]

What kind of creep are you?

[@mariam-NKN]

I love Greece🇬🇷✝️❤️

[@florrie8767]

This is where mama Mia movie made which made it famous. You get there via skiathos island a short ferry trip. I went a couple of times Skiathos is also beautiful one of the mainstream tourist islands .

[@vukasintosic7896]

Amazing Video 👍👍👍🇬🇷😘❤️

[@gearhed78]

Well, as a fellow FPV pilot and sailing enthusiast, subbed. This is right after noticing your coconut man cup and commenting.

[@cnc75adventures49]

Yes please share your knowledge maybe with some more spotting of the octopuses 🐙👍👍

[@Apolloa]

It is not underrated , it is just not commercial… and that is a good thing !!

[@polyxenikoutla134]

All Greek islands are unique!!

[@davedenham8697]

That’s where they filmed mama Mia

[@geod01]

Why would Skopelos be underrated? :o One of the most turistical island since Mamma Mia movie

[@johnpray9049]

So how did 3 pines become 2 pines?

[@georgesmith3022]

skiathos has better beaches and they are all sandy. On the contrary most beaches on skopelos have pebbles. Skiathos in the summer has more nightlife. For more peace choose skopelos or alonisos

[@petert330]

Been there twice, amazing island with fantastic beaches. In fact the three main islands in the Sporades is a must, Skopelos, Alonissos and Skiathos, they will not disappoint.

[@AllenMacCannell]

How safe is it for a three year old running here and there? I'd be concerned about the cliffs and drop offs

[@Stefan6664]

Recommend the film 'My Octopus Teacher' for those interested in Octopuses.

[@subjim3825]

Greetings from Greece ! Skopelos and Sporades are not underrated . Foreign turists have only heard of Mykonos Tinos Rhodes etc. There are thousands of islands they havent heard . Let me give you a tip .... Try Skyros next time ! You will love it

[@Dylanmagaster.]

Stay tuned! We go to Skyros soon!

[@dirtyronald]

Scope-elowse in the northern Sporar-dase just east of Skiathowse 🤮 Nice film though 👍🏻 the drone footage was awesome.

[@maxamico8872]

The "MAMA MIA MOVIE" island...

[@Cmarley19]

i am the dinghy captain

[@californiadiego]

You are living the life of my dreams. Would you eat your beloved octopuses?

[@BobInGreek]

Greece

[@space.tel-e-grams]

octopodes!

[@mikelooby9248]

You sound like john malkovich 😎

[@emmanuelfiolakis9297]

They caught many years ago a relative with hash! All Greek Islands are pretty much the same!

[@Naiada]

... and we finally got dizzy with all those drone regressions......:-(

[@vukasintosic7896]

Skopelos is the best island

[@derbagger22]

multiple different

[@cristinad4835]

Is very nice.... We need and wild places.... We must stop to build to much and to destroy the Earth.

[@lesleyvass8739]

Since when is Skopelos ‘hidden’? Underrated?? It is known and highly rated by both Greeks and foreigners! A lovely island, indeed!

[@robynnparker1455]

Pretty primitive means to reclaim technology there!

[@gearhed78]

See, I also feel that the goods should be protected at all cost. I feel like anyone should feel safe with an island cup and strap. Don't feel awkward protecting the root. Save the man berries at all cost. Or, this is normal for this channel? Don't know,. This is my first watch ever.

[@Dylanmagaster.]

🤣😂 that’s a hip pouch that I carry random stuff in, and sometimes it’s just most comfortable in the crotch areas lol

[@valentinguz]

007 octopussy

[@emmanuelfiolakis9297]

Our island is x-rated!

[@princeboheme]

I can understand the excitement and playfulness of flying a drone, but for someone who is not familiar with it, and who just watches the video, it can be quite uncomfortable to watch all these quick movements of shooting. You get a feeling of seasickness. If you could try to avoid these sudden changes of direction and do them more slowlier, I think one would enjoy the sceneries a lot better. This is just my personal opinion. Otherwise, I like your videos a lot, and I like the way you express your philosophical thoughts.

[@tomhermens7698]

Wait until the meltemi blows, you can't get off the islands, no ferries, no planes, no helicopters. !!!!! Have a nice time but give me the mainland any time.

[@dougk2932]

Just don't go to Mykonos and Santorini when you go to Greece and you'll have amazing time.........

[@lasvegas531]

wow daddy's rich son

[@Dylanmagaster.]

Lol that’s hilarious. You know nothing of my backstory.

[@alexsweeney7451]

Nasaly vocal fry...

[@Rudolf.Aigner]

The island is much nicer as your voice. *lol*

[@spookydizzybat]

am actually greek xdddd

[@vukasintosic7896]

🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷❤️❤️❤️🤗😊👍💪👌😂😘😍😍

[@davedenham8697]

Why are you talking like you’ve just had a massive joint, or is slurring your normal way of talking?

[@TheKing-vr8vh]

Im going there this summer! I cant wait! From romania/din românia🇦🇩🩷🇬🇷 (i did not find romanias flag)
