Went on a solo trip to Santorini in September two years ago and had the most peaceful time. Explored the island at my own pace and didn't wait for anything. It wasn't overrated at all, and I'd love to go back again soon!
I'm going to Athens for the first time next week. I've been studying ancient Greek history for about a decade, and your channel has been invaluable. Thank you so much, and I hope we cross paths someday!
Unlike most countries...the capital isn't the best place to enjoy Greece. Gabriel's trips are a clear indication of that. Enjoy your visit however you choose though🙂
Hi I'm your sub from Nepal. I remember watching yor videos in 2017-2018. I remember you were a small channel then and had trouble travelling around because of your tight budget. I'm glad you're a bigger channel now and I hope it's easier for you to trvael now!
I've been twice, and I hope to return for a third time. Everything is so beautiful on this island.Scenary, the sea, the view, the sunset, the food. I wish i could live there for the rest of my lifetime.
I really would ❤ to visit Santorini, I've visited/stayed on 14ish big and small Greek Islands. Loved every one of them. Very envious of you Gabriel and your friend Anna.
Wow! Incredible. Absolutely LOVED this video. Brought back SO many memories for me of when I visited Santorini. This particular video is one of your BEST ever videos of Greece!!! I just felt like I was right there, you captured the mood PERFECTLY! You had everything in this video. I’ll be watching this one over and over again. I ❤️ Santorini!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Loved your Greek series, from Northern Greece to the beautiful Greek Islands, just wonderful. Still have yet to experience that part of the world. Hopefully next year🤞From what you have shown, would like to spend at least a month there. Currently in Germany with a trip through Austria to Lake Garda Italy planned with family. Thanks for your fantastic videos, feels great to be travelling again. ❤❤
Thank you for the reminder of the island on which we spent our vacation with my Greek friend.The sunsets in Fira/Thera/and the beach in Perissa were breathtaking.The arrival by ferry to the caldera is already a stunning experience!
the frescos and objects missing from Akrotiri are displayed in the ultimate little Prehistoric Museum of Fira. Absolutely amazing! Also, next time, don't miss the Archaeological site of Ancient Thera. This is from the Classical era, different from the Bronze Age Akrotiri. Always something new to see on this blessed island.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Oh, I missed that video. Excellent, as always. Pity the ancient site was closed. Thank you for taking the time to reply. Have safe, informative and enjoyable trips and continue to inform and entertain us with your unique style.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos I found the Ancient Thera site on this address: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yQFgx02bjP4.html Supper! Thanks
Hi Gabriel, nice to see you and Anna relaxing enjoying meals and doing some swimming. it seems Santorini isn't crowded yet so probably a good time to get over Italy and enjoy it even though that might be over crowded at this time.
We went to Santorini in 2021 just after Greece opened up after the pandemic and stayed in Kamari. It was surreal - there were so few people that we were the only patrons in the restaurant on two occasions and all the popular places were easily accessible. A wonderful place - we'll never see it like that again but I'd love to go back. Thanks for taking me back.
Ok, now we’re talking!!! Even if you went 10 times to that island I would still watch your videos from there every time! For some reason it feels like I’m there when I’m watching your videos.
Thank you for your video! Santorini is one of a kind. I have been there in the 80s and in the 90s, but I have never really visited all the places there. I prefer smaller and less crowded islands and so I usually avoid Santorini or Mykonos, but I liked very much your video and the hidden church is a gem. Kalo Taxidi to Italy, my country!!!
Ένας άνθρωπος από το Υπουργείο Τουρισμού δεν υπάρχει να του πει "έλα εδώ άνθρωπε πάρε ένα καλό Laptop, μία κάμερα και δωρεάν ακτοπλοϊκά για 10 χρόνια, όχι σαν δωροδοκία αλλά για την ΠΡΟΣΦΟΡΑ σου στην χώρα μας" Τα βιντεάκια του δεν είναι τα κλασσικά της κάθε καρακάξας που βλέπει παραλίες και κάνει WoW ή τρώει σουβλάκια και κάνει ΜΜΜΜ... αλλά βγάζουν μία αυθεντικότητα, μια αλήθεια για τον τόπο μας μοναδική! All i wanna say is "Thanks man!"
You look rejuvenated 😉 Do Rome and then go to Crete for a 1 month car explore. Believe me you will need that time to see 1/5 of that island even me that has been there +40 times find new things every time. One of the memories that will be in you’re taste: I drove with my ex wife and 2 small children around Sitia and saw something on top of a mountain that looked interesting. I got the permission to drive there, 1 hour later I was walking into a live excavation of an ancient untouched Minoan site and was invited there to walk freely by the chief American archaeologist. Once in a lifetime to sit in the throne they just found.
Took Olympic Airways from Athens to Santorini and was double charged for the tickets. Kind of left a bad taste in my mouth when I tried to rectify the issue to no avail. Great video Gabriel and Anna.
Been there when they had fireworks from the other island. Celebrating the creation of the islands. Forgot the name of the festival, but i found the place spectaculair and enjoyed it allot
@@clarkmadrosen1780 Yes. I think the dreaded graffiti disease already spread there from Athens. I also noticed that some walls in the other islands are starting to get vandalized, too. The local authorities need to do something about it. There's nothing "cool" about the graffiti. It's not "art", it's a sign of degeneration, a trait of people who are puerile.
@JasonTabile thanks Jason. Glad you see it the way I do. I have seen pictures of Athens and was shocked at the graffiti. Gabe did not need to show that. Have a good day.
Greece is a beautiful country with so many beautiful islands. Blue crystal clear water, nice sunshine, great foods and nice people. No wonder Gabriel went many times as he stated. One day, I will visit Antalya,,Istanbul and Greek Islands.
This lovely portrait of Santorini makes me want to give it another go. I lasted two days on my only visit a few years ago in late September, fleeing from the amazing noise pollution of the two-cycle scooters and the choking air pollution. Didn't see or hear any of that here. Did they finally ban the scooters? Breakfast at €8 to €10 sounded like a good deal after backing out the over-priced drinks.
Have you ever visited the Greek island of SYMI, part of the Dodecanese island group? I don't recall you going there and you have visited many islands. A British TV doctor, dietitian and Daily Mail columnist, Michael Mosley, was walking back from Agios Nikolaos beach on Wednesday without his phone and is now missing.
Hi Gabriel have you walked further past the church down to the houses of Plaka from that ‘secret’ sunset spot? I’m going back in the autumn and I’ve been to the church before but wanted to go further down next time. Just wondering if it’s an easy hike? Thanks
Sweet Jesus, just remembered HELLA is Greece. I have been counting the pieces of Greek islands, so many broken pieces! Hope you’ve been counting them well and correctly at well!
Hey Gabriel, I love your Videos especially from Greece always watch m,.. ❤😊 I also watch always the Videos of Zameer pactyan ,same channel name,.. he mostly does walking tour vlogs from crete,... wich are amazing ❤ coincidentally he is also on Santorini right now to vlog,....and you guys should meet and make a vlog together,..that would be so awesome 👍😎
Thank you for being in our country!I think that you haven't been in all Cycladic islands yet (small Cyclades, in other words Koufonisia, Donousa, Schinoussa, Heraclia.Moreover Amorgos, Astypalea (of the same architecture with Cyclades, Dodecanese though).Koufonisia and Astipalea are some of my favorite.Good luck and safe travels!
@@youtooaromatherapyyoga2991 In Spain the Mojito is 8€ and all the other drinks are 10-12+ Not to mention you don't have 1000+ gorgeous islands to explore Not to mention everything else in Spain is way more expensive Not to mention Spain is a way more dangerous country
Your Greek island visits will be over too soon I have been along on your travels I hope you return soon , I think you should invest in a portable battery charger I have a couple there good for your “ phone,GoPro etc “ the are fast recharging them or you could make sure they are charged before you leave 😂 Once again thank you for your video journey and taking us along with you 👍🙏🏴
Hi Gabriel Going to Greece in a year or two. If you had time to only go to 3 islands. Which ones would you pick given your vast experience? Your response would be much appreciated. Santorini for sure but can’t decide on other ones thanks🙏🏻
Hey Gabe, just curious... how do you fund all your travels? Does RU-vid provide you with all the monies needed, are you a 'trust fund baby' or have extensive family real estate, or other business ventures that have done well? I'm not trying to pry, but am just very curious how this is done. Cheers!
No worries, I've made a bunch of videos about that. It's all youtube basically, see here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mevjCqYpPJQ.html
I really like the churches capillas.You are very respectful, thanks you for removing you cover at the entrance of the Roman Church. great video saludos
None of our business, but a beautiful island, expensive food and drinks and a beautiful woman, curious. Did you find love? I guess only future videos will tell.
I love Santorini but I'm always blown away by how expensive it is compared to other parts of Greece. I should mention Mykonos is even worse than Santorini in this regard.
Ha, Santorini… once and DONE 😂 We had the most AMAZING trip in Crete then ruined it by going to overpriced, touristy, lack of culture …Santorini. We stayed at one of the best hotels, incomparable views, restaurant and shops just a few steps away… but absolutely never again! Not even if I was given free flights and accommodations 😂
Anna? You had said you met her in Finland, i believe? Anyhow she must be a traveler like you. I was wondering if she had a RU-vid channel as well? Thanks and enjoy..
