I went there in 2015 on trip to Malta and gozo amazing museum
Now that you're going home, it's the perfect opportunity to get your motorcycle license, you've been unable to rent a motorcycle because of it many times. I'm the same age as you and I got my motorcycle license last year. It's never too late.
Enjoy your time back home.
How involved would it be (time and money) to get a motorcycle license which would allow rental of some of the bigger motorbikes?
odyssey is a fictional book
Just for the record Gabriel I don't think there is anyone in Greece that likes Nolan's rendition of The Odyssey… basically on account of the casting decisions but given the losely modernsed interpretation route he has taken surely there will be other scriptural deviations …. there is another version a TV series from 1997 with Armande Assente as Odysseas and Vanessa Williams as Calypso which was very well regarded in Greece…
Aside from Greece 🇬🇷 being your favorite country. Would you consider Malta 🇲🇹 number two? My favorite country is Greece and Malta is my second favorite country I’ve visited. Welcome back to the USA 🇺🇸
Would you go to place of the Giants in Malta.
Back to your best, doing what we all love. Well done 👍

Yeah keep the rain away, there's a great song called " is it raining in Paris tonight" really enjoyed following you this year. Thank you Gabriel.
Very interesting and educational video. Enjoy your time at home.
Has it really been six months already? I find it hard to imagine that you visited 18 countries in such a short time. Anyways, I hope you've enjoyed your travels as much as I enjoyed the videos. Thank you for the many stories, glimpses, travel tips, wonderful views, and efforts to explore.
Have a great and well-deserved break back home.
you are yankee so crazy erroneously conditioned that is sadly comical hahaha, no wonder the USA is so weird haha and completed collapsed . You are not 34 briton hahaha , prove me erroneous if you can redcoat . saludos From the United States Of America
This was awesome !!
the Movie the Odyssey was bad, the data suggest it may be the last 70 mm film made , the next is going to be a digital 70 mm sensor, it was really bad, i watched it on a IMAX teatro and they are just 10 in Houston a odisea to see it hahaha, and expensive. it dit not best the Italian 1954 by Kirk Douglas , 35mm Technicolor 1.37:1/1.66:1 ratio, cinematography is going backwards hahaha crazy ,j ust better sound , beautiful color and the grates of definition and more comfortable seating, but the movie bad specially the fight scene hahaha they look fake crazy. saludos
THANK YOU FOR CORRECTLY NAMING THE HELLENIC REPUBLIC SALUDOS
i must visit that isla, thank you for sharing . saludos
great under water cinematography . saludos
That is some architecture, considering when the temple was built.
It's better to say you're 3/4 English heritage not British as it encompasses Wales, Scotland and N. Ireland also.
I don't understand why you're speaking about a work of fiction. 🤔
thank you for taking us along the last 6 months, enjoy your summer at home
The expression "mad dogs and Englishmen" cannot be related to you because you're an American, not an Englishman, regardless of your roots. It's not your culture, lad.
Love ❤️ this video
I have watched your channel since my visit to Greece in September 2025. You have kept my attention and wanderlust to explore and travel more, especially Greece over the past year. Appreciate all your shared experiences and knowledge, and look forward daily to viewing your travels everywhere! Today, especially enjoying this episode on Homer's Odyssey. A favorite. Enjoy your time back in the United States. I'm in Northern California, and if your travels take you there, the temps are on par with the Mediterranean, as you probably know. All the best, and look forward to your next adventure. Thank you for all you share.
Hi Gabe, I absolutely enjoy watching your videos. They are so informative. Can't wait for you to begin traveling again. Best wishes! ✈️✈️✈️
Malta is a great country to end your travels in. Wow just incredible how old those temples are on Gozo Island. Interesting ride and talk retracing the places in The Odyssey. How fantastic you have been to all of them. Glad the e-bike worked better! Thank you for sharing your own Odyssey over the last 6 months. Loved it! Enjoy your time home with family and friends. Cheers. 🙏❤
Enjoy your break! I followed in your footsteps to the Dolomites a few years ago, and I recently booked my first trip to Greece in early October Thank you for the inspiration!.
I have enjoyed every video of these past 6 months. Maybe I’ll refresh my memory and watch them again
Now that's what I call a church!!! Lots of history on this island… love it!!! Thank you for sharing!!!✌💙😎 There used to be a massive 3 story mechanical trojan horse in the entrance of FAO Schwarz toy store in the Forum Shops at Caesar's Palace… it was so cool!!! Too bad it closed in 2010… best toy store ever! 😊
My question is, did the Trojan war happen before Greece became a democracy? I guess when Greece was a democracy, it would not sail 1000 ships to Troy to fight for one woman?
Amazing
Now you can meet up with Harald Baldr
Someone: "Where do you go on vacation?"
Gabriel: Home.
Of course, Gavdos has also been claimed to be Calypso island too, so who knows. Everything is so tenous with this poem. Knowing Gavdos myself (as you do, too) it seems more fitting, and the scenes in the movie even resemble the lifestyle there in ways. Whatever the case, as in the middle ages with pilgrimages, we can expect all sorts of places to be scrambling to claim a link with this poem in order to rake the money in on the heels of it all lol. Except, bad timing for the authorities in Gavdos who have shot themselves in the foot this year with an increasingly hostile stance towards the longer stay inhabitants in shacks.
mr Gabriel it was your patron saints day yesterday according to old calendar! Congratulations!
