χαιρετισματα απο πλακια … ωραιο βιντεο …
Thanks Greek Guy! Great video
Ženo, znam da čitaš komentare. I ove godine idemo na Krit.
The videos.are great! I will visit Crete for the first time this september. I hope to see as much places as possible in 2 weeks of my stay. A bit worried about moving around, as I am not a driver. If you could help me with public transportation routes, that would be very helpful. Thank you !
Wow thanks for the video I'm going to Crete this September and have a IST of places to go but now I'm reconsidering my choices 😂
Just booked for honeymoon. Can't wait
Thank you brother for this video! Crete seems the best place I can visit in this summer. God bless you !
Where is a good place to snork, near Iraklion, cheers
Thanks so much for your work
Your videos are amazing and so well maid, full of precious informations 🙂
For a family (youngest child is 3 oldest will be 14) staying in Platanias next year for a week. What would you recommend as places to visit as a family?
Great video presenting all the hidden gems of Crete. I hope they won't get overcrowded in the future.
μαριδακι
We are here in Crete now, and still have 5 days to explore. Good thing I i found your channel.
Nice secret bro
Thank you again, went to the kourtalioris canyon, gorge was amazing, possibly the highlight of my trip, going down the lesser built steps, climbing round and then swimming in the very cold water with the waterfalls was spectacular.
I have to back to living to Create soon as possible
thank you man. I just did the Katoliko and was like a spiritual experience. If the number 12 was like that I can t imagine the rest. Efharisto!
nice video.
Really good this I am staying north central Crete though…
I am thinking about going to Crete in May. Would this be too cold for snorkeling/swimming?
Great deep dive!
My favorite place was seitan limania
Great vid. I love Sfakia. Just one but: these are all villages with only summer residents for the tourism season. I would like to stay in a genuine cretan community, that stays there for the year. Do you have any recommendations of this kind?
Thanks a lot for sharing! Some of the spots I already have on my list to visit, but some I missed and will be definitely discovered next time I visit wonderful Crete <3
Knossos is a joke. Disgusting what white people did to that site. It’s totally vandalized
shut up
East of Crete is far more beautiful then these 10" secret" places.
Thank you❤
I did this 9 times. Wonderful trips always👏🙏😊🎉
Is May a good time to visit Crete? What daily weather should I expect and will it be too cold to swim? Thanks, love your channel 🙂
Beautiful island… cannot wait to visit it.
Hi, I lived in the white Mountains for six years and you're just shown me all the great places I missed. Damn. Great video, great places, great people, great cuisine. Thanks
Great video thank you!
Going to elounda in 2 weeks can’t wait
Best video tour of Crete!
Awesoooome!!
👏👏👏👏
ΕΟΤ Ambassador!
Great Video of our beautiful Kriti 💖 most my videos from this gorgeous town too… we just can't get enough
Thank you for this amazing video. We were there last Sepember. In Chania and the south in Frangocastelo. We found many gems of beaches. One beach I enjoed that made an impression was in Paleochora and another was Ilingas beach a few minutes froim Sfakia. Not many people and they were perfect in every way! I can't wait to go back and visit some of the places mentioned here. 3 weeks in Crete was not enough.
Incredible tips, I've visited Crete twice but mostly the west (Chania/Rethymono regions). For the next trip in late June next year, I'm planning to wisit the eastern half of the island for about a week. I heard Koufonisi and Chrissi islands and Zakros gorge are some gems of that area. Any other hidden secrets I should know of? Efharisto poli!
