Greece is awsome! OPA!!😀😀
I'm picturing Austin Powers in the cart scene while you tell this story! 😂 Sorry it happened though! ✌💙😎
Clickbait title designed to get people to watch most of this video. You’re on the verge of losing me when you’ve gotten yourself into a rut in Greece. You obviously enjoy the country and that’s great…But it’s a big world. I’ve managed to visit 16 countries this year and seven of them are new. Keep moving forward my fellow traveler! Especially if you are interested in growing your audience/business.
Having been back from Greece this past August (and having severe withdrawal!), it’s so awesome to see you’ve returned for the third time this year!
I love your stories and laughed when you said there were 7-8 cars by the time you were able to accommodate your van. The narrow streets on Madera look similar to many on Greek Islands, so totally sympathize. This summer, I visited Paxos and man, those streets were crazy small!
Hope you have a wonderful time and get some well deserved swim time at some great beaches! 🌊
16:58 The mural shows the great Greek writer and scholar Adamantios Korais (1748–1833), who had a family connection with Chios. The words next to his picture read: "I love freedom, but I would like to always find it enthroned between justice and humanity" ("Λατρεύω την ελευθερία, αλλά θα ήθελα να την βρίσκω πάντοτε θρονιασμένη ανάμεσα στην δικαιοσύνη και τον ανθρωπισμό.")
Wow, you’re back there again. Cool!
Compared to Portugal, Greece is a bummer.
You are repeating what happened in the past vlog instead of talking about your present vlog.
Hi Gabriel so happy your in Greece, can you go slower when your in town so we can see the shops, restaurants and coffee shops. Sending you thank you for Greece videos
gabriel nice to see ypu back to greece.try to go also to oinousses.it's a small island near chios.it's in the same distance with psarra but from the oposite direction in the map.psarra is a tiny historical island where captain kanaris destroyed the flagship of turkish naval fleet as reprisals to the massacre of greek population in psarra.oinousses on the other hand is a tiny also island where is the home of many greek shipowners.
Count me as a Yes, happy to be in Greece!!!😃
Yea Greece.
This week just got better, Gabe is back in Greece 😂. Yay!
Hey Gabriel, I'm enjoying your vids as usual. Are you going to keep your tradition going and get a haircut and/or shave on this trip?
Your Greek travels are my favorite. There is another vlogger (My Greek Lifestyle) who lives in Naphlio. He says a big problem in Greece is all the trash everywhere but have not noticed it in your videos of Greece. If that is true, it would be such a shame. I wish people would be mindful of their trash. It isn't that hard to find a trash can or wait until you do find one.
❤❤
Freedom for ever is part of the mural saying.
You're at your best when you're in Greece Gabe!
Happy Gabriel is back in Greece. You just can't get enough and something is always a find out there!
I travelled from the UK to San Francisco for a conference last Saturday, and having a free day on Sunday, decided to follow your path around Haight Ashbury. You might be surprised to learn that the unnecessarily bright outfit you saw in a shop window is still there. Can you believe no one's bought it yet??!! 😂 Another vote for "glad you're back in Greece" though. 😊
The end of the video, you walk right past Homers Stone. Where you sat, right in front of you was a square stone.
Awesome. Love the videos from Greece
Dude, you need to stay out of Greece. Nobody cares about Greece.
😂 glad so glad u r b in greece
Going to spain next week
in 2003 I saw the jewelry cache from Troy in the Pushkin Museum in Moscow. The site was found by the Germans and the RUssians, and now you know where the gold went.
Hi Gabriel from Athens, did you visit the Town of "Mastic" in Chios Island?
Why didn't you make a video in Frankfurt? The Frankfurt train station area is called "zombie town" in a lot of videos, and many youtubers go there at the moment to show the decline of Germany. That would have brought you an insane number of views.
welcome back.
Gabe you have this "GLOW" of happiness whenever you are in Greece. Are you sure the Prime Minister "MITSOTAKIS" hasn't made you a Greek citizen yet?.. You bloody Should be!!!.. Safe Travels big fella!!! Drink a Fix or OUZO for us all. 🙂
Back in Greece
That definitely looked like Homer Stone, according to Google, but there aren’t that many photos to compare. Interesting and the connections to Turkey. Thank you Gabriel!
I once got stuck in a bus only hov and I had to wait for a bus to come by so I could get out, as it had barriers on the road. The barriers only opened for the buses. 😮
Very tempted to visit and place a statue of Homer Simpson…
Returning to Greece is the best move you can make
I been doing it the last fifty years
and is what gave me the strength to survive and stay healthy
mentally and physically
enjoy🇬🇷👍🍷
You gave me a shock! I thought you were in Malta with that van's licence plate
You can call the port authority of the island of Psara and ask them about room rentals
and any other info
🍺
Crystal clears seas, bright blue skies, shady pine trees … It can only mean one thing!! … 🇬🇷🇬🇷
🎉💯💞🌅👏
Greece AGAIN ??????
How long u been traveling now?
14:50 The SH Diana is a luxury expedition cruise ship that only takes 192 passengers with 127 crew. Give it a try one day 😉
Great to see you back in Greece. Interesting seeing Chois. I island hopped there back in 1987, watching with interest to see old sights and new. Keep on trucking man!
Im currently in Rhodes it’s been baking hot today but incredibly windy in the evening,would like to tour some of the smaller islands as well
The inscription says: "I love freedom but I like it when I find it residing inbetween justice and humanism"
Mitsotaki give this person a Greek citizenship ASAP.
26:08 that is the Homer stone according to Google images
I hope he visits the Hippocrates school of Medicine
Heeeeyy Gabriel! Welcome back to the motherland!
