What's with the melodramatic music?
Sterling isn't camera shy, and it's a good thing 😊
I really think there is no better place in the world than Greece , and to add to the spectacular scenery, weather, beaches, the thing that really makes it unbeatable is the fantastic Greek people ❤
Sterling is definitely making the Rocks and Rubble of Greece very palatable 😊👍

Five month ago Gabe you found the old ship wreck on a Greek Island. It appears you have switched me on to Greek mythology. Having watched the play, one of the tragedies from Greece. Medea. 1959. Judith Anderson. Maybe it's Jason's Argo wreck:) Thanks for that. Hey Sterling fantastic to see you! Craig the great taste in women guy here;)× how you doing?
Awesome 👍🏖🤩
That bay is amazing. Those narrow bays are nice because there is less wind, and the water is calm for swimming.

Speaking of Milos… just left there and am on another island now. Did you visit the church above the catacombs & amphitheater on Milos? How about the small church right on the coastal edge not far from the small fishing g village Kilma? (Spelling? )We hiked all around there and found it very interesting with pottery shards, random marble pillars and such laying around. So much history there!
finally settling down I see, hell yeah dude.
Great to watch your new Greek Islands Series! Really looking forward to Milos and the next episode.
Hi Gabriel, back in the day that must have been the industry where the island thrived on now it's tourism that most of these islands live off. Some of these islands are better off than certain other islands that are smaller with less to offer in terms of amenities.
Still looks very warm
Gabriel the truth differs slightly from what you portray at 2:43 The ancient Greeks were far superior to the Romans in terms of architecture, engineering, and general culture. So, they didn't need the Romans to build anything at all, when the latter conquered Greece, in 146 BC. The Greeks had enough money, science and expertise to build what they wanted on their own! Gradually, the Romans absorbed enough technology and general culture from the people they were conquering, and it was then when they started building impressive buildings.
But still, they were often using Greek science and expertise (i.e. the Hellenistic engineer Apollodorus designed and apparently plotted the loads of the majestic Roman Pantheon, while Diogenes from Athens decorated the Pantheon). The "Roman" Ephesus is full of Greek buildings and statues! So, you might want to re-examine the concept of what is Roman and what is not.
Thank You Gabriel Another Great Adventure Safe Travels 🙂💙👍
Serifos, has a rich mining history, primarily known for its deposits of iron and silver. Mining activities date back to ancient times, with significant exploitation occurring in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This era brought economic growth and infrastructure development to the island. However, by the mid-20th century, mining declined due to resource depletion and environmental concerns. Today, remnants of old mines serve as a reminder of Serifos's industrial past, while the island has shifted focus to tourism, highlighting its beautiful landscapes and cultural heritage.
Btw you should cross the mining tunnel. I've done that. It takes about 30 minutes and it ends up in the next bay.
The old unfinished building was the mining company headquarters. It's not new. They are trying to renovate it and make it a museum.
Looks a wonderful Island. Thank you for sharing..
😊❤🇧🇦⛰🏔🗻
Another great video, and for once im not at home wishing I was on a Greek Island, because Im writing this from the beautiful island of Syros, so another thank you to Gabriel for inspiring me, though his videos, to travel to another wonderful part of Europe.
These ancient towers are across many Cyclades islands, like sifnos also, and their main purpose was to send signals between them, and between different islands possibly, like an ancient ways to learn some important information fast I guess
