Love all your videos especially the Greek islands since I am from one of them. Agios Nektarios has its saint there in a coffin and if you are a believer you will hear him knocking. When I was a young child we went there and I heard the knocking. I hope to take my kids there next summer. Aigina is a beautiful island.

Loved this vid, Gabriel! I was last on Aegina in June of 2017. Beautiful island. I wish we would have stopped at Paliochora. They told us about it on the way by, on our way to Agios Nektarios Monestary, which was also very interesting. The body of "Saint Nectarios" (1848 - 1920) lies in a room in the church. Everyone walked by, in a line, to pay their respects to Saint Nectarios. I also laughed when I saw you driving on the super small streets! I've had that same experience! Thanks for the great stuff!

Hey Gabriel, I wish to thank you my friend for bringing us along with you on this wonderful trip. I would never be able to go to these places any other way anymore because my poor old 74 year old body is just not able to do it any longer. If I were there I would try and the I would get in trouble. Lol I have COPD and just can't get enough air. I have read about places like this when I was younger and I guess I should have visited them at that time. I was trying to read some of those Greek writings but it's been too long and I don't have my reference books here with me in Thailand yet. Hopefully once this nasty virus goes away I can start traveling again. I really miss it. Looking forward to your next video.

For those who haven't read any of Gabriel's literatures they are of the utmost quality and with all his journeys it's surprising he finds the time but not effort because it comes to him so easily because of his natural gifted insight to transfer his sights to words. All his works are written, constructed and proofread by he himself. You won't be disappointed!

The highlight of the trip had to be driving a speedboat (for the first time) around the island and visiting some other tiny islands nearby. Thanks for the video, I can't wait to go back ☺
