Love Thassos. One of the best holidays we had. We went really all in. 5 star hotel. Private beach. Child free hotel. White sand beautiful. Love the Greek islands. My favourite is Santerini. Thassos 2nd. You just can’t go wrong with the Greek islands x🇬🇧

10:23 "Υψομ" is indeed an abbreviation of "υψόμετρο" ("ipsometro") which means elevation of land above sea level. From "ύψος" ("ipsos", height) and "μέτρο" ("metro", measurement, meter).

This looks like an incredible time to be in Greece! Absolutely perfect weather (sunny, not too hot), and slightly less busy than peak season. Just looks perfect!

[Travelhiker]

I was going to ask you if you were going to Thasos on this trip.. I'm happy to see you finally made it there! 👍

[Roblynch]

Thasos looks beautiful! That looked like such a serene, peaceful mountain village you walked through, and those geological formations by the water hole & sea were stunning! Thasos also makes some of the best honey in the world. Anywho, Greece should make you some kind of honorary ambassador, given all the attention you have given to this beautiful, unique country! Many people decide to travel to Greece because of people like you or Wolters! Thanks for your stellar vids!

Perfect! Enjoy your stay to this beautiful green island dear Gabriel! You have a lot to discover! Paradise beach is my favourite, also Saliara- Marble beach and of course this magnificent place Giola that I saw you already enjoy it. Don't miss also the villages up to the mountains where you can eat delicious food and discover very interesting landscapes and hikes with historical elements

THASSOS looks like a cool place, better than other island to me!!!

[ΑντώνηςΑντωνίου-ζχ]

Greetings from Redondo Beach 🇺🇸🇺🇸Wonderful country and nice video👌

[RovexHD]

Glad to see you made it. I was in Potos yesterday 😂

I think thasos has a good mix of mountains and varied beaches. Reminds me of Kefalonia.

20:00 In Greek, "παρακαλώ" (pronounced "parakalo") means "please." It can also mean "I beg, I pray, I ask, I request..." and "you're welcome" when responding to someone who has thanked you.
as a greek, after midday, i say "kalispera" as the rental car guy said. is the most common and greeks use it even after midnight sometimes.
not many greeks say "kalo apogevma" (witch also means good afternoon) when they meet someone but usually when they leave.

same at night, when we leave a place we say "kalo vrady" or "kali nychta" instead of kalispera. (apogevma and espera both means afternoon, nychta and vrady means night).

Good to see everything worked out in the end and Thassos turned on some warm sunny weather for you. Very green and different from the other Islands. You got some fantastic swimming on film, just loved the music with the underwater shots, beautiful! Thanks for the tour and language lesson. Happy trails!❤️

[elizabethcraig]

That was awesome! The swimming hole, how fun and delightful music accompaniment. You look so happy and youthful. Great time.❤😊
