This is Part 1 in a series of videos about an amazing day of exploring on the fascinating island of Malta, a tiny country in the Mediterranean Sea between Italy and Africa. Things get more interesting in the coming videos as I explore old ruins from various timeframes, some of them many thousands of years old.

Great adventure gabriel in rural Malta ππ The ww2 pillbox you were very close to a hidden cove and the massive campell fort, well done with the Maltese words ππ
Never thought about going to Malta, might put on my list, but around 20 as I have so much on it already
When you get to Greece are you going to Rhodes? Yes itβs touristy, but it has a very historical heritage and beauty that is unique to Greece?
St pauls catacombs.
Mdina.
Victoria and the air raid shelter.
Wied il – ghasri .
GABRIEL, Where do you store your winter stuff while traveling to warm countries???
@6:26. Xemxija is pronounced shem-shi-ya. In Maltese X =sh, j=y. Easy peasy!
ππ
Thatβs weird that they require shoes π to go in a cave. It doesnβt make sense. Itβs not like sandals have football β½οΈ trainers with studs below them.
Gosh itβs only June and it looks cold π₯Ά especially when Gabriel is wearing a jacket π§₯
Nice. Can you show us something of the Sovereign Order of Malta?
I would feel like home when driving in Malta π²πΉ because they drive on the same side of the U.K. π¬π§ where Iβm from π
π€£π€£Thought I was watching one of my videos at the beginning! That looked like a walking path! ππ€π Beautiful storybook like place!
Another excellent video
In Malta in February, when it was battered by storms, visited the popeye village before storm, returned later in week to see a massive boulder had slid down rockface and landed on building, shame Popeye hadn't had his spinach that day…sure he would have hurled it out to sea….
Hi Gabriel, I find it interesting that there is still interest in the Popeye movie set after so many years. The cartoon is no longer in syndication so children can't even identify with the characters. Adults would be the only ones that could have a real interest because they were raised around this cartoon for around 50 years.
I went to Malta a couple of years ago. Popeye Village is good fun and you can take a dip in the sea from there.
Popeye Village seems like even more beautiful in reality than it is on pictures. π
Living Musium π»
Hahaha, Hypogeum, literally means underground in Greek. Hypo – as in under andΞΉ geum from the greek Ξ³Ξ· or gaia, meaning earth. We use it all the time in modern greek, meaning basement of a building most of the time.
Great video Gabriel!
So who did the British kill to occupy Malta?
I haven't watched the Popeye movie, but it used to be my favourite animation show during my childhood days, those were the time which I used to watch 10 pm show everyday with having a dinner.π
The 2nd session of going up bad roads is the same as the 1st π€·ββοΈπ€·ββοΈπ©π©
are you using AI to generate those thumbnails now? lol
Damn dude that bunker was everything. Seems like lots of wooks have camped in it over timeβ¦
Hard to say if those railings were seasoned over time or intentionally given that vibe.
Was there a logging industry there at one time? Canβt tell from the video
See some green houses at 20:55β¦wonder if theyβre growing some of that landrace goodness.
Rally car territory DAMN
Gabriel you can vist bingemma caves i think you will like them
The water scenes for the movie were shot at the largest European infinity pool. Very unique place
Language is scilio arabic
I have to say, Gabriel, you're making me happy that I chose Istanbul over Malta this week! The weather's been beautiful here so far. πππ
04:40 Incredible that no one lives there.
Super cool.πππ€£π²πΉ
π‘πBrilliant !!
You must visit the Hypogeum. Be a good reason to go back π
Wow those roads look really narrow
Maltese is a fascinating language. I was reading up on the alphabet. Since there are so many Arabic sounds that canβt accurately be represented by the Roman alphabet, they had to get creative. It has changed a lot over the years.
It is considered a Semitic language – The only Arabic language written in Roman script.
Hypogeum sounds amazing! And what fun you could have buying shoes for one-time wear! Pink wingtips, perhaps? π You could donate them afterwards.
OMG That Popeye ear worm! Noo! π π
I love your Malta content. Might even rewatch the 2019 vids.
You should add some episode number or something. It is hard to know which video is next
