this was a 100 per cent greek population island until the 1960 s where the turkish government has installed open prisons there bringing criminal turks to kill rape and plunder the greek indigenous of the island.... This island was greek until 1923 when the greek prime minister venizelos gave it to kemal attaturk with the lausane treaty. Venizelos practicaly gave it away... turkey did not won it by war. For that reason this island according to the lausane treaty was prescribed to be autonomous, something that turkey did not respect/

What a lovely, unspoilt island! Ever since we first went on a family holiday to the Isle of Wight when I was a kid, I've always had a fascination with islands and how they can differ; not only from the mainland, but also from other islands in the same area. This one doesn't disappoint! 😊

Gabriel at 4:43 you are most probably passing by a Greek restaurant (?) - cafe (the one with the brown windows, the word "KRASI" in its name, playing a Greek song as you were passing it by). The owners of this shop probably are millennia old Greek "Tenedians" - the original inhabitants of this island before the Turks kicked the Greeks out and brought in settlers from mainland Turkey...These "Tenedians" definetely are a rare specimen by now.... At 11:09 the castle you are visiting is of unknown origin alright but was most probably built by the Phoenicians, the Romans or the Venitians??? There is a huge chronological gap there, as you commented... I am curious as to why the ancient Greeks and the medieval Greek-Byzantines, who were inhabiting that whole geographical area for millennia, are conspicuously absent regarding that "unknown origin" castle?

@rusucristian1847 21 день назад

Exactly my point, the gap. Because the tuyrks want to wipe out the history, the fact that they took greek lands. It's that simple.

@zoeknows 20 дней назад

Geia sou Gabriel! If you are already in Greece then "Kalos irthes" = welcome.....and good Month ( = Kalo mina)...we use to say it the first day of each month. In case you don;t know, there is an international airport south of Peloponnsos at Kalamata city. Except from Mani, close to Kalamata check for Koroni and Methoni and in case you want to hang up with two Greek fans (me and my husband Nikos) we will be visiting the island of Kythira middle of September 14 to 22.Enjoy!

Not surprised the rental place took USD. Turkish people know better than anyone the state of their currency. I was in North Macedonia recently and asked a driver if I could pay in Euros. He said he'll take any European currency except the Turkish Lira. Make sure you spend all of that cash because it'll be worth a whole lot less next time you're in Turkey.

Yes, that's definitely a Greek scripture, written though in a quite odd, cryptic manner, as if the letters weren't Greek (and kudos to you for noticing them)! It is as if the Greeks that wrote the scripture were afraid that the Turks would notice it and get upset by it...

If you go to Greek Peloponnese Peninsula, you may be interested to visit Mycenae, King Agamennon of Mycenae is the commander of the Achaean Sparta contingent to invade Troy as Helen was the wife of his brother King Menelaus of Sparta. The Homer's epic poems Odyssey & Iliad was all about them. King Agamennon's golden funerary mask is on display in the National Archaelogical Museum of Athens, his burial ground is of a beehive structure. I guess that USD157 is the price for foreigners, not for the local.

@sarikanarya567 21 день назад

The reason it's so crowded is because August 30th is a national holiday in Turkey, marking the anniversary of a major offensive during the country's war of independence. It's not a religious holiday. By the way, the name 'Bozca' in Bozcaada translates to something like 'Gray Island' in English, with 'ada' meaning 'island.' The name comes from the island being treeless and barren :)

@GabrielTravelerVideos 21 день назад

Exactly, I talked about Victory Day at the end.

@tombuddy100 21 день назад

In Serbian, "ada" means river island. A different word is used for sea island. Likewise, "kapı" mean door, but only into a yard of a house. A different word is used for door to a house, apartment, or vehicle.

@mcdtubes 21 день назад

Viticulture history in Bozcaada (Tenedos) dates back 4000 years and this tradition continued during the Ottoman era. There was a wine festival on the island that lasted for decades but has since succumbed to the pressure of the Erdogan administration, sadly fading away. Hope the island will be able to keep it alive somehow until Erdo-gone

@wilfredotorres6628 21 день назад

Hi Gabriel, I remember saying that you might visit some spots around Turkey, and I know you have visited other areas around Turkey. Still, I don't remember if you have seen the Sumela Monastery or the Dolmabahce Palace, Perge or Patara. There is an amazing amount of history throughout the country.

Gabriel, you don't travel with much reserve cash! When I travel for a couple of weeks or more I carry a minimum of 500 dollars/euros/pounds to cover ATM failures or getting stranded etc, but sometimes even more, Its safe to carry this amount as long as you look after it and dont leave it in a bag unattended etc! Maybe you should think about doing that?

@unknown-user 21 день назад

There are ways around it man. Like I mentioned in a previous post, I wanted to visit both Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard, but staying on the islands overnight is cost prohibitive (rooms are $800 plus a night in July), so what to do? I stayed mainland Cape Cod and did day trips on the ferry and saved 90%. Still got to enjoy both islands. They are small, walkable and explorable in a day. You could’ve done the same here and saved a bunch and actually would’ve provided better content that way. I have a plolicy to never pay over $40 a night in Turkey no matter what. You have to set spending limits so people also learn how to travel on the cheap and maximize their enjoyment.

@GabrielTravelerVideos 21 день назад

My main mission on this visit to Turkey was experience a Turkish island. Yes, could have stayed in the little town of Geyikli near the ferry port on the mainland for cheaper I'm sure but wouldn't have been the same. For people on a budget they can watch my other videos in Ankara and Canakkale in which I showed my hotel rooms that were 30 something bucks a night. Great deals in Turkey.
