nice video

Looks too crowded

The introduction is superb: Lusting of the recommended areas, supplemented with a very simple to read map! 🎉🎉

It is a deeply sad and disappointing thing (and probably disturbing to some people) to realize that Mykonos, once the island selected by authors, painters, sculptors, poets and people aiming to experience the natural beauty of this little piece of arid land in the middle of the Aegean sea that was allegedly a stronghold for pirates for centuries, has now become a place where prostitution, drugs, alcoholism, rudeness and complete disrespect of almost any lawful behavior rules. Hotels, restaurants, beach bars and cafeterias charge exorbitant prices (usually without issuing any receipt), they employ young Greeks or illegal immigrants at monthly wages below (sometimes way below) the minimum wage without any social security compensations and having them work 12-14 hour shifts 7 days per week treating them like slaves, while beach bars and hotels occupy beaches charging ridiculously high prices for an umbrella and two “chaise longues”, forbidding people who are not willing to use them (and pay for them) to swim in that beach (Btw. by Greek law all beaches are public and freely accessible to everybody). Much of the tourist economy of the island has fallen in the hands of the Russian mafia and its oligarchs, much of the supply of food, equipment and fuel and quite a part of the building business is ruled by the Albanian mafia. Corruption runs high at all levels, as you can open any sort of shop almost anywhere, provided you have "the right connections" (or if you are willing to pay hefty “shortcut fees”) and you can build almost whatever you wish (or can afford to) without feeling restricted by any building permits, laws on the use of land, or any public space demarcation. Local Mykonians, once happy and proud of their island, are worried if they are going to have the means to keep their properties on the island, and are increasingly threatened both by the shady people that make Mykonos their summer residence and by the myriads of people landing on their island as tourists seeing in Mykonos the paradise for heavy drugs, easy free and paid sex, wild partying and a chance to engage in any sort of extreme, unhinged nightlife "entertainment" of all sorts. Multiple reports by public authority auditors characterize the situation in Mykonos as “way out of hand” and international news networks are recently known to grant Mykonos the title of "Colombia of the Mediterranean Sea", if that adds a layer of description to the fast, sad and probably irreversible disintegration of this very beautiful island. What a shameful waste!

No thanks 😂. Who’s carrying the luggage? I would get claustrophobic

I love this music 🎶

Is it worth it to pay for a tour guide ? I’ve seen all these videos but I still don’t feel too confident going by ourselves.

PTO = Paid Time Off

my bucket list….in 2 years !

🎉🎉🎉

I thought this video was about beaches 😅

Difficult to listen to. You could have made a better effort at pronunciation of French names. I'm out after two minutes.

Is the beach area in Perissa closed mid October?

Eyad ❤jvd

❤❤❤❤😂❤

Drive there. Avoid the boat crowds of sheeple.

Thank you!

This is well done!

What a beautiful city !

So you gotta carry your luggage and everything through there OMG

luxury hotel dan resort... ❤❤❤

If we were to stay in the mountains area, is there adequate parking if we were to drive into town or some other waterfront area?

Thanks for showing us! Just amazing and I really like the Hummingbirds plus several of the other ones. Laurie. NZ.

Seen shorts ❤ so beautiful must be so expensive 😅

We have just booked a table at "Five Senses" during our week's holiday in Imerovigli later this month. What views! Having seen your video, we look forward to dining there even more. Many thanks!

Best video ever, every tourist should check out this video before coming to Rome 💯

you are the best. thanks for all the tips!!!

I love the idea of going to a hotel with a caldera view, but most of them seem to have a hundred steps or more to negotiate either going to your room or the pool. Are there any you'd recommend with less steps. Another thing would be a swimming pool that was not too cold - but that may not be possible. We're thinking of going in October. Thanks in advance.

Are the cabs 🚕 inexpensive in Paros? I was thinking about staying by the Golden Beach and just taking a taxi 🚕 to get to places.

Do I need local currency for the bus or can I pay in USD?

Perfect

I see you said opening all year... Is weather warm and nice in March?? Beautiful hotel.. Are small pools on balcony of every room?

Just wondering if there are public bathroom stops on this trail. Just wondering in case of emergencies lol.

nothing to see much compared to fira and Oia

Is there a bus from Oia to Imerovigli that stops at San Antonio Hotel bus stop?

Eating here in just a few weeks! Can’t wait!

Just came back from there May2024 and stayed at Domes of Elounda Autograph Hotel which was magnificent - it’s unique service offering, fabulous location, outstanding cuisine and most important fantastic staff. My second stay there and can’t wait to go back! 😎

Nice, just booked first 5 nights in city rights at the center of Vatican and Colosseum etc.. It's hostel since I'm going to be out all day anyways. On other hand I'm planning last two days to be on nicer place on coast or some beautiful location outside the center to wind down after probably walking everywhere for almost a week ;D

what do you recommend for a family with a 2 year old ?

Can you purchase a water taxi ticket at any of the beaches that it visits? We are coming from the port June 16, Do you have a recommendation on which beach we should start at? We'd like to stop at a few.

I was there in 2002 and had a look. Mexico is beautiful and always worth a visit.

❤

Good video thank you

Last year, 2023, we went to hike Skaros Rock and afterwards decided to hike Imerovigli to OIa. Wow! So fantastic, we met such nice people along the hike. We did at end of May and was still quite warm.

Is there a reason why Fira to Oia seems to be the most popular as we plan to go Oia to Fira. We were thinking of driving from Kamari to Fira and parking hire car. Then catching bus to Oia and basically walking back to car

Excellent advice; many thanks!

Some more signage would be good. Oia to Fira made a wrong turn after the snack shack and ended up on the side of a very unstable cliff. We climbed upwards and scaled a stone wall emerging on the C-Sky hotel pool deck. The guests thought we had lost our minds...Great hike. Great memories!

Born and raised in outer London. My advice if you want to save money is stay just outside, end of the underground. For example stay at the Travelodge in Morden. 10 minute walk to the station and then 15 minutes on the tube and you can be in central London or go anywhere from there 👍🏼

Tulum is already downshifting !. 💥🥶💥 Anywhere infrastructures for wastewater Anywhere healthy tapwater Everywhere dirty and if you leave your beautiful designed resort everywhere awful dirty 🤮 All Cenotes are polluted Scientifically proven !. 🙈 Gold rush times round Tulum Greed eats brain Actually totally overpriced 🥶🙈💥 Greedy locals, greedy criminal taxidrivers, high greedy developers who are afterwards surcharging their customers however signed contracts!!!.🥶💥 Hugh crime rates They’re destroying your concerns about but you can’t believe them. They’re lying all the time. Even killing holidaymakers at beach clubs !.🥶🙈🌚💥⚰️⚰️⚰️💥 Nobody of them cares for the future of Tulum 👉carry on There are better locations round Mexico to invest your money 😄👍
