Gabriel you said it right that this island was previously Greek! At 11:42 those Greeks visiting Tenedos (Bozcaada, as the Turks renamed the island in the 1960's, after expelling its predominantly Greek population) are not so much tourists as they are offspring of the Greeks living previously in Tenedos. They go there to visit and somehow pay hommage to the island of their parents and grandparents...

@Dinomite921 23 дня назад

Lemnos as you probably know across the border is a very unique Greek Island . Awesome beaches, low hills not exactly mountains and with it's own little sand dunes. I imagine it would be on your list to go Gabe

@kostastsol 22 дня назад

08:58 "kalimera" in the sign..The owner is probably one of the 20-25 Greeks living until today in the island (whereas in Imbros live about 700 Greeks).Added to the above remark, the musical instrument that is heard in the restaurant is the greek "bouzouki".There seems to be something in the air that still exudes a greek color and vibe.

Hey Gabe, I've been following you on RU-vid for years now, and I have to say that you continue to be a huge inspiration to me. Thanks for that. My next adventure will be to Greece, where I'm planning to visit the ancient sites like the Oracle of Delphi and the Thermopylae, and really dive into the history. I'm really looking forward to it. I wish you a great time in Turkey and will keep following your journey with great interest. Sending you warm greetings from Germany. Best regards, Michael

Gabe, how about a hot chicken soup with lots of lemon for dinner to fix the cold. I'm pretty sure Turks have/cook well the chicken. Also a cup of hot (turkish) tea with lemon, local honey or propolis (if turks know the greek word of propolis, maybe it's bee-glue in English). Super nice haircut!

@ЛюбомирСтоянов-э9щ 23 дня назад

Thank you for sharing the visit of Bozcaada. It is very interesting to see a Turkish island in the Aegean See. At first sight, one can see that this Turkish island differs from the Greek one. I am eager so watch your exploration. There are the Princes' islands near Istanbul which are visited by foreign tourists, because these islands are considered as a part of sights of Istanbul.

@tyxeri48 23 дня назад

It IS normally crazy there at this time of the year, it was unbearable to walk in the alleys 3 years ago when I was there. And Tenedos IS called Mykonos of Turkey! 🙂 However, inflation and high costs made vacations too expensive for the Turkish people, mostly for the young, the usual crowd there. Plus, Greece issued a fast-track seven-day visa to 15 islands for the Turkish people, and many of them took advantage of it.

@andreimihaesi 22 дня назад

Loving the Turkish Aegean island experience. How do you compare the coastal/beach locations in Turkey with the Greek ones? I have noticed a big difference in overall culture, pace of life and tourism even going from Kos to Bodrum or Rhodes to Marmaris. They both provide the best Mediterranean experiences I think, with the overcrowding and price hikes in Spain, Italy and Croatia..

@unknown-user 23 дня назад

Turkey is not affordable anymore. Inflation aside, and speaking in dollar terms, you were able to retire in Turkey as recently as 2019 on $1000 in Istanbul. When Covid hit, many place got out of control and Turkey leads the pack. Pricing is in par with most European countries which is a shame since salaries are still very low for the locals.

@normanlee31 23 дня назад

It's exactly the same in Cyprus, north + south. But especially south. Rents have literally trebled in three years but local salaries are the same!

@lbunnygordon1133 23 дня назад

In terms of many british they re no longer sllowed to spend all year in Turkey unless a v expensive property..

@oguzb.7033 23 дня назад

Interestingly Turkish salaries also got better in USD, my salary nearly got tripled in USD in last 4 years, i only got inflation increases. So i went 5 times abroad last year and twice this year, 2 more before 2024 finishes, going abroad got much cheaper for me ;)

I've been looking forward to this upcoming course: "Biodiversity 11: Warming Oceans, Moving Shorelines & Sea Level Rise" with our Restoration Ecologist Jim Laurie. It's so good to see some more islands now & soon. - Due to the expected 2 to 20 foot sea level rise between now and 2100, it'll be changing. Thanks for taking us along and pointing out some of the bicycles and carts like at 5:36, for instance. Getting closer might lead to who makes them on Bozcaada, etc. Enjoying Türkiye this week vicariously, thx. 💚 🌲😎🌲

Limnos has more to offer but Samothraki is nice for hiking and has its own spirit you should visit i think you will like it there! In Samothraki where the statue of Niki comes from (stands in Louvre, Paris) is an archeological place can't remember the name its worth a visit if you are there! In Limnos Gabe I can give you details about archeological sights there are the Kaviria, Poliochni and Hfestia!

10:01 Arabic alphabet was the official language of ottoman times. Atatürk changed that when Türkiye became a republic. He westernized the nation. He was a good dictator that made men shave their beards and made newspapers print in the Latin alphabet. Not all dictators are bad, but most are. Atatürk cared about his people. No disrespect to Greek people who lived there for centuries, but the island was ottoman for 450 years. After the 1920’s the Turks were using western alphabet. That Çeşme (fountain) is possibly hundreds of years old. The island been ruled by many. It’s very much Turkish now and deserves to be, despite the sad history.
