Absolutely loved the story of the hidden church. This is really a gem you discovered. I could see other tourists, but I can only imagine if you're alone there.... super special.

Of course you will always end up in your favourite country, eh? Santorini is the most visited of all of the Greek locales, yes? Tourists surely seem to love that magical place.

Wow, Gabriel, you started to ride four-wheelers. Is this a training for snowmobiles in winter conditions? :)
I have watched many videos of Santorini, but they were nothing like this one ... It's like a whole different island... Gabriel, you are such a pro.... You make other travel bloggers look like school kids who haven't done their homework... You ARE the golden standard.....

Imagine the hellscape that would’ve been. Your civilization is based on this island, and the volcano eruption literally destroys the entire thing, and absolutely annihilates your civilization. It wasn’t always a circular ring shaped island. The explosion emptied the magma chamber, and and it sank into the sea. Creating the crescent/circular shaped island. All those high cliffs in the shots he was driving is just the ash and pumice that rained down onto the remnants of the island. Imagine being away in a war, or abroad somewhere, returning to your home island - and seeing it as it is now. It must’ve been devastating.
I visited Santorini last year and I was very impressed by the prehistoric Minoan town in akrotiri (~1650BC) and the frescoes which have been moved to archeological museum in Thera town.
22:45 translation (the Greek text here is in rhythm and rhyme) " Passer by, if you will to drink from this little cistern, since you are to say 'thank you' close the lid as well. Thank you. 2004 Panayiotis Sirigos "
It’s special to return to places you have been to before in your youth . During more innocent days and when your were more reckless . It’s a beautiful form of nostalgia . All the distance and years you have covered and suddenly you are back at displacement “0”. Older , wiser and appreciative to be back in a happy place of your past. That secret church is that place
Gabriel says: I'm going to take it easy and have some holidays, so I won't upload much.... 2 days later: 2 new videos drop within a few hours 😂 Love your work mate, keep it up!
Beautiful, beautiful Greece!! 😀☀️🌊❤ thank you Gabriel for the videos! My favorite country! 🤗😊❤🙏
Mr. Gabriel, once again the best content creator around hands down!!
Thanks so much Gabe for sharing the beauty and magic of the Greek Islands, looking forward to some Ionian Islands adventures soon...
Beautiful island , funny adventures and incredible sea view , I like Greece it's the best . Enjoy your time Gabe and we are enjoying your videos .
Amazing sunset, amazing lanscapes. Thank you for sharing :)
Great video. Love the music. We were in Athens in 1981. Never saw the islands. Love Greece.
My wife and I were on Santorini last October...my first time being back there since I stumbled upon it in 1981 while backpacking around much of the world. Back then I lived in a desroyed home on a cliff in Oia...things have "grown up" alot but Oia is still lovely.
Incredible video! Superb! Often what you see of Santorini is the touristy spots, I honestly didn't even bother to visit this island last year because I I was just thinking in the crowds, prices and overcommercialized spots, but this side is so interesting! Awesome, awesome video!

Cool, glad to hear it.
Aw what a wonderful video! There’s nothing like the feeling of finding a quiet sunset spot on Santorini - it’s never been beaten yet! The secret church area is beautiful I went there a few weeks ago expecting crowds for the sunset but was pleasantly surprised… only around 5 others were there. It looked like you were near the abandoned windmills hill (can’t remember the name?!) near the end. I wanted to go up there for sunset but didn’t have time unfortunately. Another reason to go back one day… Thank you for sharing with us 👌

Hello, I'm going in October. Do you have any recommendations for food, activities, and etc.
This video, along with the music, flows like an excellent poetic narration.
A very beautiful island with very friendly people.
I never tire of watching your travelling. I remember when you were last there . Cant believe all that time has gone by so quickly. You are always good at explaining where you are and what the place is like its like i am there. What a stunning sunset! Thank you for sharing :)
I really like it..To see people from all over the world having a great time here in Greece!Love to see happy people!!It's beautiful!
Go here. It's great! Akrotiri was a Cycladic Bronze Age settlement on the volcanic Greek island of Santorini. The settlement was destroyed in the Theran eruption sometime in the 16th century BC and buried in volcanic ash, which preserved the remains of fine frescoes and many objects and artworks. Akrotiri has been excavated since 1967.

Wow those pictures are incredible from 2009. Really amazing, I miss Santorini so much 😢
Pyrgos, up the mountain is amazing !! you can see all the island at once, also take a look at Megalochori, lots of churches and nice people, not touristic crazy any of them
What a beautiful sunset at the end 😀
Gabriel this Video is so beautiful and amazing! Thank you for sharing it. Best Greetings from Munich-Germany
Santorini is a natural wonder of the world. Its world famous volcano, which constitutes a magnificent sight and attraction of Santorini, formed the island and gave it its current shape and geomorphology by a massive volcanic eruption, thousands of years ago.
17:20 wow what a creative way to film!!! beautiful 💫💫💫💫💫
Hey Gabe every time I watch your Greece video's specially your Santorini video's you bring me back some sweet memories back in 2007 when I went to Greece took a ferry and headed straight to Santorini me and a Greek friend of mine from Montreal, Canada By the way the music really goes hand in hand with the scenery great taste I get very emotional when I watch your Santorini video's Love you brother keep up the good work 🙂💪👍
Greece is my favorite place on earth and I go every year but to the same little island. Occasionally I’ll spare a week or so to check out someplace new but always hurry back to my home away from home and spend the bulk of my time in the same place. I’ve never been able to talk myself into Santorini, so I’m watching this series with interest. Have to admit I laughed out loud when you stumbled upon the crowd watching the sunset. :) I’m glad you found your quiet sunset in time though! Happy trails!

Small churches in the middle of nowhere... Full of holy Grace... So close to God....
This is the most amazing video. Thank you for showing us things that are so different from all the other travel videos that vloggers make of the typical spots. That is the Akrotiri Lighthouse at the end, where everyone was watching the spectacular sunset.
Loved santorini, we have explored it also with a quad. There is allot to discover, enjoy and chillax. Enjoy gabe
Wow. Fantastic. 👍😊🇬🇷
WELL DONE GABRIEL, SHOWING US A PART OF SANTORINI VERY FEW VLOGGERS EVER SHOW!!!!
Nice! My wife and I went to that same sunset spot in 2009... it was MUCH less crowded then! (May instead of August) We also got a great meal at a nearby restaurant with a great view.
Beautiful video here Gabe,,,,a joy to watch! 😊😊👍👍
Good evening! Thank you! Another great video of Greece.
What a beautiful video... now I really want to go back to my roots!! Thank you Gabe!
Great video! The cliffs at Vlychada Beach are simply stunning.
Incredible place, thanks for sharing!
Its suçh a pleasure, Gabriel. Thank you! Happy hollidays!!
Excellent discovery...I hope to visit these beaches next time in Santorini. Thank you Gabriel!
Beautiful sunset 🌅 thank you for sharing another great video of Santorini.
Gabe the scenery were amazing so I had to watch this video 3X excellent job Gabe and I love Greece also
For some obscure reason that dog on the beach barking at you had me thinking of when you were chased around a stone structure of sorts, back in India (?). Don't ask why, just shot through my brain...🙂
Gabriel, many thanks for all the amazing travel adventures - Always high quality contents, stunning views, beautiful music, breathtaking footages and always entertaining and informative.Great work as always, take care, stay healthy, stay safe.🙏🏽👍
Ya sou Gabriel, My father was born in Epirus, so I do have relatives still living all over Greece. I have visited many times. I will be vacationing in Greece in September for 3 weeks. Can't wait. Visiting Corfu, Epirus, Lefkada, and Thessaloniki as well as Athens where my 1st cousins live. Can you share some of the prices of souvenirs on the expensive islands like Santorini. Curious about how much they charge for a t-shirt. Great content and I can see why Greece is your favorite country. Also love to see some of the food that you order and prices. Very reasonable.
Great job as always!
This is awesome! I'm headed to Santorini in a month - and I found this video very informational and fun to watch! Thank you for sharing your experience!
Nice video Gabe ✌️! I see that Akrotiri's lighthouse sunset spot is quite packed, no wonder it's August!
Your version of the sunset, was so much better... A masterpiece.. Like just about everything you create....
It's so cool to séé tii exploring places where i've béén. I spent two weeks oñ Santorini last year. I miss Milos though. Want to go back ☀️
Yes. At 26:15 I would have tried that nice, interesting cave up there. Maybe for the night 🌙 too. ✨️
Just Amazing!! Thanks so much! God Bless! Much love dear man!!
Very nice! Koufonisia have also spectacular beaches.
And while we were curious about which remote island Gabriel would choose after Israel, he landed on... Santorini! 🤣
AND A VERY BIIIG BRAVVVVO....GABE...KEEP THEM VIDEOS COMING.....
Are they dolphins in the sea at 24:14 into video? Looks like a pod swimming near the shore?
Thank you for your amazing videos....

Great video as always Mr 2 Euros 👍

Thank you so much sir , Gabe,for your wonderful walk around tour Godbless from your solid fan supporter from the Philippines 🇵🇭 sir Marvin,👏👏👏👏👏👏♥️🙏🙂👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏
Gabriel, having visited Santorini 2 years ago, I'm kicking myself, I must say 😂
Kastellorizo Island...beautiful...
There is no one on this planet as real as gabe
6:21 yes!!! yes!!! yes!!! and this island is missing the lush Kauai vegetation...time for "hike...in your homeland"
Will you visit Anafi Island specifically the Hora town again. One of the most fascinating video that you shared with us on the Greek Island.
Thank you for showing the rest of the island! My wife and I are spending a few days on Santorini next month and are excited to see what is outside of Oia and Fira. Any plans to visit Milos?
This music, what You use for videos is so beautiful !

Great inclusion of the previous travels photos.
Greece island is very beautiful
I think the weird shaped in the cliff at the first beach (Eros?) can be explained by the fact that there are thick layers of pumice on Santorini and that wind and rain will easily erode this type of rock. By the way, have you ever tried to walk up a pumice hill? Don't bother. You will be spinning your wheels, lol!!!
That's cool 😎😎
Strange idea....Gabriel Action Figures....Gabe on an ATV.....Gabe swimming....Gabe on a scooter.... Gabe with backpack...Gabe with a cat....I'd buy 'em.
I’m right there with you in spirit 💕 natural beauty
Hi Gabriel, you went back to working on a suntan. How is the water? Is it very warm? That's a ritual of watching the sun go down in Florida like the Siesta Key beach and Sarasota Beach that's on every beach, especially the keys with the drum circle very trippy.
Gabriel with Greek Citizenship Yesterday! 💯
Did you ever go to Salamina island? I have never but would love it if you go and show us, but the boat to that island is at the other port of piraeus
Beautiful thank you … please tell me from all the places you did see which place is the dearest to your heart ?
Incredible Santorini 😁Such a beautiful view🏝love the video.Thanks for sharing with us that beauty 👍😁
Greetings amigo good day Saludos beautifull streets clean greetings
IMO the only problem with climbing down these paths to see "secret" beaches and churches is that one has to climb back up. Other than that, enjoyed the video.
It would be fun if ""we"" 😄 went to an island ""we've"" never been to before. ((Yes, I travel vicariously.) 😇 Another fun thing might be to video yourself pulling up a map of the world and then close your eyes and put your finger down on a place where you'll go next. That would be a lot of fun.
beautiful

Yes, there are many. The only islands without trees are the Cycladic islands and some of the Dodecanese islands. All other Greek island groups such as the Ionian, the Sporades, the North Aegean, Southern Dodecanese and Crete are full of trees. Yet don’t expect any rainforests or tropical jungles on any Greek island. Greece has a Mediterranean climate, not tropical.
@Alexs.2599

The Ionian Islands are very green with lots of trees. Also the islands in the northern Aegean also have trees. The Cycladic islands are more wind swept so that's why there are not many trees about on those islands.
