A Full Tour of a Greek Islands Ferry (Bigger is Better)

In this video I take a ferry from the Greek island of Lemnos in the north Aegean sea to Kavala, a city on the mainland of northeastern Greece and give you a full tour of the ship.

I took several ferries with my Greek friends/Pireas-Paros, Naxos, Ios, Santorini/, so I really enjoyed your video, Gabriel!Thank you.On the other hand, you enjoyed a difficult, strenuous journey thanks to the weather.But you still have us, watching your videos, so you can sometimes complain through them.😊Basically, you are not alone even in a complete wastenland.Lots of nice experiences.👍

Big ship Gabe, looking forward to what’s next!

Beautiful view of Lemnos as the ferry left. It must be exciting knowing that your final destination will be a new Greek Island. Thanks for the tour of the ferry, feel like I’m on holidays just watching.😊❤

Watching this particular video brought back many memories of my first time Greek island hopping in September of 2000. It was the best travel experience ever. I was on the island of Santorini when the weather changed and the surrounding seas became rough. Little did I realize how that happy vibe would change. On the evening of September 26, 2000 the Express Samina left Piraeus. At 22:12 the ship hit the reef of Portes Islets 2 nautical miles off the port of Parikia, Paros. The ship sank at 23:02 and claimed 80 lives from a total of 533 on board. A prohibition was placed on all ships in the area traveling. I stayed 5 days in total on Santorini, and when the prohibition was lifted I took the ferry back to Athens. The mood was completely different to what I experienced heading out to the islands. I returned back to Greece in 2004 and went island hopping once again, and I had a wonderful time. But I still think about those poor souls that perished that night. This video brought back memories to me. You’re living the best life Gabe! Enjoy every day! Your channel is always awesome!! ❤️👏❤️👏

I have travelled a lot in Greece in all kinds of weather with all kinds of ferries. But to hear one being cancelled because of rain, is the first time for me.

Hi Gabriel, nice to see you on the move and ready for another adventure as the summer is winding down, and your time in the Schengen area zone. There are so many beautiful places to still visit and enjoy even in the winter months.

Pretty exciting adventure Gabe! Thanks for sharing! :)

The city is called KavAla. You have to stress the second vowel.

[kostapapa]

I would go to Kavala and from there take a boat to Samothraki. Or drive to the city of Alexandroupoli ( the eastern most city in Thrace ) to visit it too and take the boat for Samothrace from there. Samothrace is worth the visit more than Thasos imho. The energy of the island is mystical and unforgettable for those who can sense it. It is the site where the parents of king Alexander the Great Philip and Olympias met. The Kabeirian mysteries and the sanctuary of the Great Gods where the well- known statue of the Nike ( Victory) of Samothraki was found. Plus mt Saos - Feggari with all the waterfalls and vathres (ponds). It is a magical landscape and very green.

[brasni]

That old Diagoras ship is very familiar to us.
I see that you still had some cheese, peynir from Turkey, for lunch.
It is not allowed to bring fresh food like milk products, meat, vegetables and fruit from a third country like Turkey to EU. And vice versa.
Well, the worst that can happen is, that it will be confiscated at the custom check. Then the officers might get a free treat.

Wow, I've been on a few Blue Star ferries that were big, but never one that was that big!
