Gabriel, you used Google Maps to see where your ferry was at that moment? I found out two weeks ago that it delays and that the MarineTraffic app is just better to see the exact ferry on the map (or search it by name to see it on the map) and is also more globally universal for ferries than other apps as there is a whole world. Nevertheless, have a nice time on Santorini, it was very nice for me to be there two weeks ago.
Ope, Gabe, you turning bougie on us buddy? A cabin? Next its private jets and crypto currencies 😀 just kidding buddy. Hope you had a good trip.
GOOD VIDEO OF GREECE AND SANTORINI😃😃😃😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄
Gabe you should get an Osmo pocket 4 I think it will suit you perfectly. Great video quality in low light and overall. You don't take your dji in the water anyway so not being waterproof won't be a problem I think
Gabriel , did you notice that room rates in Santorini are cheaper this year? This might be coz of fears of the island being unstable last year?
I would unironically sleep better at a random comfy seat than in a room with randoms
wow Santorini looks amazing
❤
Is that ouzo at the breakfast?😊
In 1989, it was the old port. We were driven up the windy steep path/road in a rusty minibus by a boy who can only have been 12. It was quite the arrival!
What an odd name for a ship: Thanos, which means Death !!!
So rad
You are causing me to rethink Santorini. What I found was a place overwhelmed with noisy, lung-choking two-stroke motor scooters that caused me to bail out after a day. I hope other viewers will put a southern Med overnight ferry trip on their bucket list. Be sure to board hungry and enjoy dinner. I've found the surcharge for a private cabin is not that steep. It's the same cabin as multi-bunks but you avoid the snoring. You can go super thrifty and book a deck chair for overnight but that is an option for the very young. I've done Italy to Croatia and back, and Italy to Albania and back. The peak experience was Naples to Palermo in Sicily. The bay of Palermo lies within two curved arms of land and you arrive steaming directly east. Get up before dawn, stand on the bow of the ship and watch the sun peek over the horizon, revealing the welcoming arms of Palermo as you enter the harbor. Twenty years later it's still a vivid memory.
Save and buy a better camera. That's my suggestion. You are solid though, so don't think I'm hating.
Best, sanest time in GREECE is in JUNE and SEPTEMBER (mid September best)! Less tourism, and the sea water is so warm!
Was that ouzo what you drank ? 😅
Wow, what a fantastic breakfast!
Nice
What a beautiful place! Oh my gosh, that breakfast looks delish. Enjoy Gabriel.
💙🤍💜🤎
Santorini amazes us with its breathtaking beauty. I was also impressed by the stunning photography of the beautiful white buildings. I can describe the island as a beautiful young woman. Thank you for your efforts and thank you for showing us even more beauty
That was nice watching dusk and sunrise in one video.
Drinking Ouzo for breakfast is crazy.
💙🤍💙
Hooray, I’m glad you found a room after breakfast so you didn’t have to carry your bags. What a gorgeous place to visit! Great ferry ride. I was curious if Greece had the most ferry’s but possible in the top 3, it depends if your counting vessels or traffic.
Where’s your blanket?
Incredible. Thank you
Agree once at least in a lifetime! WOW what a spot to eat breakfast! 10plus!
Looks amazing!
Gabe my man i really enjoyed your video!You looked extremely and genuinely surprised on the ship while getting close to Santorini and for sure you were as happy as a clam at high water when gazzing with delight the caldera view!
Hotel Atlantis. My absolute favourite hotel in the world!
Hi Gabriel, Planning 3 months next year in Greece, went last year for 3 weeks. Do you plan as you go or preplan everything ? I’m thinking I may preplan the first couple of islands then swing it. Due to travelling next September I’m thinking I may need to do a bit of preplanning 🤔🇦🇺🦘
Looks amazing Gabe, Where i landed in malta is like party ville, out of here asap.
42% OF ADULT MEN SNORE so its not looking good Gabe
So precious!
That look nice!
I’m taken away by this. Absolutely beautiful!
Santorini is a volcanic caldera.
You deserve the cabin.
We did that hike – bring snacks
You Should Do a Video of The Santorini Volcanic Hot Springs….Not to Many Popular Tubers Have Done a Video Their in a Long Time 😁😁🥵🥵
I do enjoy your island-hopping videos! I hope to visit Santorini myself one day. The views look awesome, and that meal you ordered looks delicious! Up till now I've only been to two islands, Kos and Crete. I'm 72 now, but in 1969 my secondary school organised an educational cruise and we stopped over in Kos on board the SS Nevasa. We had a great time and I think I caught the travel bug from there!
Been there 8 years ago. Here was a celebration of the island with big fireworks. Great memories
Still remember these exact roads when I visited Santorini with my mom back in 2014. Truly no place like it aesthetically atleast
Wow! What a sunrise. Really magical to see it on Santorini. I’m currently still on Aegina and where I’m staying you can watch the ferries sail past on the way to and from Pireaus. Your room looks great value . I hope you were able to rest after the long ferry ride. ✨
As I couldn´t believe it´s 11 hours from Karpathos to Santorini ;))) – I googled myself 😉 There is also a blue star ferry going via Anafi, it's 7 hours from Karpathos to Santorini ( that sounds more normal to me ). And the prices are amazing !! Without cabin it´s 27 Euros, that's less than a taxi charges from Mykonos town to Mykonos port 😉 I think maybe only ferry prices in the cyclades have increased insanely, as I said, since mid September there is NO ferry between Mykonos and Naxos ( neighboring islands ) less than 57 Euros ! I couldn't believe that, but it's true 🙁
Ahhhhh the life of a Greek Boy 🙂 We booked a Cabin on the Minoan Overnight Ferry from Crete to Piraeus.. I forget what it cost back in 2017 but the cabin was very average. Two beds, a bedside table in the middle and a Private shower with a small desk and mirror and 1 chair.
Amazing!!!!Yperoxa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your destiny is to enjoy the amazing atmosphere on greece understand it..building a small house near the sea in greece too just love the peace and the beatiful nature and the sea
