🙁Is there a cruise ship directly to Monemvassia or do they stop in Gythion ?
Absolute crap video showing an overrun tourist destination devoid of local life

Hi Gabriel. If you liked Monemvasia you should visit mount Athos!
Feed Back about your Videos..as you requested here are some feed back. I have been following your work for about 10 Years. you should have many many more subscribers by now.??!!
1- Stop showing churches YT do not like that, and that is why YT is not exposing/promoting your channel.
2- Film the upscale country side homes and streets, including homes prices.
3- I Like the music you play on fast videos and normal speed…try slow motion the video part as well, it will look dramatic. more from that.
4- Look Healthy and fit, shave your beard, keep your hair very short, wear classic solid pastel colors shirts…no more wired shirts.
5- I Like your English and your diction, very clear and very understood.
6- When you are on the beach, mention are you facing west or east…..or… show a map.
7- Stop pointing the camera long on your shoes and the floor and the toilet bowl…it is a bit offending.
Best of luck, TAWHER
I’m moved by these Peloponnese videos. I love Greece so much, but I feel that the Peloponnese is the common homeland for all of us. Whenever I’ve visited that place, I’ve felt like I was returning home. Arcadia, Mystras, Kythera off the southern coast, Mani, Olympia, Cithaeron—the Peloponnese is endless, and it lives within us, even if we aren’t aware of it.
Well put together. Great watch & listen.
Thanks & best wishes.
Mystras is on the way to Nafplion – both must-see places.

I like how you enjoy your adventures, your curiosity and your focus on some details, it is like you take us with you, thanks for the company, the different stories you tell from time to time and the footage.👌🏻Greece has his scars, but it is an adventurous place, many beautiful shots in this video. I don't comment often, but I am happy for every video you post, I try to watch them all. A Question, how does filming affect you. Do you feel the companionship of the people who will watch it in the future, like they are there right now while filming. Stay hydrated.💦
Amazing place 🙏😊👏
I found these videos from Harald Baldr and his reference to Gabriel high roller Travel style. Nice job, videos are really great 🎉
A small rental car is indeed a good way to explore these remote areas. And how nice of the rental company that you can extend the rental period as needed!
Very nice video 💙💙💙
Long Live Greece 🎉🎉🎉
Another WOW!!! This city is awesome… so much to explore! Thank you for sharing!!! 😎💙✌
One of your best videos. It's sad you didn't have time to spend the night in Monemvasia. It brought back really good memories of our stay there. We were there for three nights. The evenings are incredible and the dinners over looking the water were the best. We really enjoyed Nafplio as well. Looking forward to the next video.
Wait, what? No horiatiki at the end? 🤪
Standing ovation for Gabriel 👏👏👏
The restaurant you passed at 12:45, called 'Matoula' is considered a great dining experience on Monemvasia. I took my teenage daughter to Greece 3 of the last 4 summers in order to 'trace our roots' and hang with our relatives in Athens, Patras, and the mountains above Nafpaktos, and Monemvasia was one of our favorite places! And yes, the place is teeming with tourists, especially in July and August! The best time to go is June or September, when tourism is average, but not overwhelming. If you go to Greece during peak season, the best way to see the country is to spend a few days in Athens, then rent (you must make reservations in advance) a car to drive around Greece. Great travel vids Gabe! Rock on!
Such a Beautiful Area. Incredible History and Natural Beauty every where. Thank you Gabriel for leaving no stones unturned.
Thanks for a wonderful trip!
Once again, great music

So good beautiful country💖💖💖
I always envision hearing Russian Balalaikas when I hear Greek music!
Or, maybe even flamenco guitar.
34:17 — I love how the awnings can be pulled down over the apartment windows, so that the HOT sun doesn't come blazing in! I wish we had those, here, because in Seattle it can get very HOT at the drop of a hat in the Summertime.
And, at the very end of this video, what are you eating and how much did such cost, please? I really love to know why folks order food that they do, and how much meals cost, everywhere.
how you didnt miss the mistras castlecity on the way north,it is a wonderful place to check. wonderful journey though thanks for the content!
That view! I would never leave. Thanks for the video!
In 3,4 miles W, NW of Nafplio is the Pyramid of Elliniko.
The food always looks delicious 😋 thank you Gabriel 😊❤
Very crisp and vivid color love it.😂❤
How amazing has this trip to mainland Greece been so far, I don't think anyone would have known because you only hear about Greek islands. But everything from Preveza and Nicopolis to Gytheio and Monemvasia has been top notch. How did you even find all those places, did you just randomly go through a map and then whatever stuck you went with?
I guess the only drawback is how vast the distances are. You keep mentioning how you have to drive for hours. Would you say a car is necessary to get the most out of mainland Greece?
amazing!!🍻
1 of your best videos.
Why you always gotta rush so much man? I thought you were gonna stay at least 1 night in Monemvasia, Monemvasia at night is something else but you rush and didn't see it. I thought going there was the major goal of your trip but you only spend an hour and leave? You also skipped Neapoli which is a terrific town and very close to where you were, I would much rather you went there instead of rushing to Nafplio which you could have went to another time as it's close to Athens anyway.
Got my carrot sticks n dip snack, milk and ready to watch a Gabriel Traveler video….oh yeahhhh!
Wow, what a fascinating place! And those spectacular views of the sea from the top! Thank you for sharing it with us, Gabe!
Can't wait for the next video on the trip. 😊
Something is wrong with internet.
It's 7 a.m., and it doesn't work properly. It has been doing this for days. I live in Greece.
U should go to mount Athos..not for a video but just for u❤❤
Most incredible was looking down at the blue Aegian Sea at 20:50 — Magnifcient!
