We have been to Creta 22 times it is beautiful and the people are so kind and giving it is hard to understand when some of them have nothing but give you everything Try it i guarantee you will enjoy it and return many times Kalispera
Very beautiful place! The water is so clean, the mountains, the trees, the natural herbs for healing and recovering, the global view is amazing, I would like to live in such place like Crete , I think the people are very lucky with their origins and customs, I pray our Good God to make for me an opportunity to visit this wonderful place! God bless us and all people who believe to him!

Imagine being a simple fisherman or shepherd in ancient greece living in a quiet and peaceful village with all nature around it... I see this in my dreams
I love Greece and the greek people. Now in the corona disaster time I miss them so much. My greek closest families/ friends lives in Rhodos, Afandou. ...cant watch this or any greek stuff without crying.
We visited Crete in Sept. 2018. This is such a beautiful island and there is so much to see ! You can rent a car for a week and drive around and explore the entire island . Would go there again and again in a heartbeat ! Eccellent video...❤💜🧡💛 Nice documentation, background music and presentation ! 🤗🤗🤗
My friends and I visited Crete in 2016, off tourist season. It was beautiful and relaxing. We rented a car and drove around the coast, made stops, tasked freshly made food. Great memories and I wish I can go back there now.
The best publicity documentary that I ever saw, by far! Really enjoyable: the description has a good rhythm, the subject is fascinating, the imagines are hypnotic. What can I say? A pleasant program to watch during a raining afternoon while I m sick and - maybe - time again to program the next trip to the Megalo - Island.
I was sitting in a small village in Italy my future wife walked in I was dirty unshaven or clean . I bought a ticket to Kriti so did her and her gf. I had enough just to get there get drunk on ozo and restina a wine. Got to port took a bus to maltala was going to hang out and bum money from Europeans on Vaca. She got on my bus I had no idea if she was going where I was. I got there notice she got off to with friend. I headed for a part of the beach where no one was at. The Greek people took to me I always looked like I needed a drink or meal. At night all went to a place on the beach to party. They all bought me drinks all night yep she shows up with friend. Both were blonde foxes she saw me had a few shots of ouzo we shared one it was all,over for me as back in Italy when I was sitting on the floor looked up saw her glow I wanted to be with her forever. I got up from the party dancing with Men and girls regular Greek male thing just took off down to the beach all of a sudden a arm was around me it was her. She wanted me like I her. All I remember was waking up naked with her naked. We both had north face bags that zipped together that was amazing in itself. We hung out in Greece to Italy ,Germany ,Switzerland then met up in London to find work we did. Ended up in north Afrika broke both of us got amebic dysentery flew back home worked daddies clothing store up on Mackinac Island Michigan. Six years working together killed the marriage. All I could think of was the Greek island an how it got all screwed up. We divorced that was that. Eighteen months in Europe great love life six years in the US killed it. I love the Greek people.
America can do that to you, my favorite country in the world is Greece. Spent many years there. We were going back last summer,COVID took care of that.
13.16 Kwstas has seen more wild plants and flowers up on the mountains than anyone of us all. I envy him. Did you know there's a plant which , when eaten makes the animals' teeth gold?
They are not as time sensitive there so i think i actually want to move there. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the opposite of where i currently live existed there.
Consider Samos Island for your family vaccations !! The birth place of Pythagoras Epikourus Aristarchus !! The most beautiful and green Greek Island !! Every corner and a surprise !!!
Disappearance of Minoans not so debated anymore: Santorini erupted. They knew it was about to erupt and tried to escape but we now know that pyroclastic flows can literally walk on water. They couldn't have rowed fast enough and you *cannot* outrun, hide from or survive pyroclastic flows. Some travel faster than sound and are up to 2000 Centigrade. VEI 7 eruptions cause global changes. Originally rated at a VEI of 6, now upgraded to VEI of 7 and contributed to the Biblical plagues (except for hte first born killing thing). The geology is fascinating. You can tell which islands were formed from older eruptions and which are from more recent eruptions. Either way the amount of material ejected was huge based on the cliff heights. Probably don't want to climb around too much on the newer ones - the edges will still be jagged and sharp. Also like the snow covered ones. I'd live atop one of those. It's not as hospitable as other locales. p.s. Santorini will erupt again. It will likely devastate the region again. Enjoy these sights before it creates new ones.
Well Crete was their base, and Santorini was a Cycladic outpost of Crete with its own unique culture. The Minoan Cretans certainly survived the eruption, as the archaeological record shows and they were more than 140km removed from the tiny island of Thera (Santorini). But the tsunami resulting from the eruption is believed to have decimated the Cretan fleet and coastal towns which contributed of course to their demise (crop failure, weakened political power), until finally a couple of centuries later the Mycenaen Greeks took over and established themselves on Knossos for a couple of centuries before they were wiped out in the great Bronze Age collapse (which was rather unrelated to the Theran eruption altogether). Also, many prominent archaeologists suggest a dynastic fusion between the weakened Minoans and the Mycenaen mainlanders. They didn’t disappear. They were absorbed into a culture on the rise. The Therans, on the other hand, are likely to have died on the sea journey from Thera to Crete (again, the tsunami). Makes sense, as they left in time before the great explosion, but a journey to Crete by boat back then couldn’t outrun the resulting tsunami. It seems they may have left the island after being frightened by the first convulsions, many days before the explosion even occurred.
Crete was the birthplace of Western Civ and can be that yet again. We need our Minoan Cretan ancestors and the secrets by which their advanced and mostly peaceful society kept any individual from holding too much power. Explore their ancient spiritual ways in "Calendar House" at Ancientlights.org. PEACE!
He was born in I believe 1919 was thru the war, told how they rode horses and was so thirsty they drank the horse's urine! He is my friend my best friend I ever had in this life!
GREAT DOCUMENTARY.PLEASE DO NOT MISLEAD IN INFO ON OLIVE TREES FROM EAST THEY EXISTED BEFORE THE EAST.VARIETIES DEVELOPED IN DIFFERENT AREAS.THE BLESSING OF SHEEP & PEOPLE ARE WITH THE CROSS +& BASIL & THYME BRANCHES.
Boring and sooo superficial!! You did not even mention ancient Minoan culture and temples or Templars., their castles and headquarters., Crete is so much more then salt, olives and healing plants!!
Chapter 35 Originator سورة فاطر - Fatir: Verse 39 هُوَ الَّذِي جَعَلَكُمْ خَلَائِفَ فِي الْأَرْضِ ۚ فَمَنْ كَفَرَ فَعَلَيْهِ كُفْرُهُ ۖ وَلَا يَزِيدُ الْكَافِرِينَ كُفْرُهُمْ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ إِلَّا مَقْتًا ۖ وَلَا يَزِيدُ الْكَافِرِينَ كُفْرُهُمْ إِلَّا خَسَارًا He it is That has made you inheritors in the earth: if, then, any do reject (Allah), their rejection (works) against themselves: their rejection but adds to the odium for the Unbelievers in the sight of their Lord: their rejection but adds to (their own) undoing.
How ridiculous is that if only the pure can see the one step of gold and sinners can't ..that would make you sinless which means you would have to be perfect literally ..and we all know the only sinless person to walk the earth perfectly was Jesus.. all the folklore is sinful in itself smh
Cretan men are macho but i dont think they realise that some of their large moustaches that some cretan men have resembles the san Francisco Gay community lol..
a paradise without trees? I don't think so. and no, it isn't beautiful either. the word you want (and can't find) is "barren". Crete is barren for the most part.
Once you've been there you want to go there again, and again, and...
We have been to Creta 22 times it is beautiful and the people are so kind and giving it is hard to understand when some of them have nothing but give you everything Try it i guarantee you will enjoy it and return many times Kalispera
Who else gets homesick (of Greece) by watching this
Have to go. I’m going to find the right island and spend winters there.
I miss Crete. Living there, and enjoying life was wonderful there. The Greeks live life to the fullest.
Very beautiful place! The water is so clean, the mountains, the trees, the natural herbs for healing and recovering, the global view is amazing, I would like to live in such place like Crete , I think the people are very lucky with their origins and customs, I pray our Good God to make for me an opportunity to visit this wonderful place!

It's difficult to visit all of the Greek Islands only once :) This summer, my new discovery is Rhodes
My friends and I visited Crete in 2016, off tourist season. It was beautiful and relaxing. We rented a car and drove around the coast, made stops, tasked freshly made food. Great memories and I wish I can go back there now.

Amazing documentary, do you know if there is any more of the same program?
👍❤️👍 unbelievable ❤️🌹

dude, this is cool
RIP Walter Lassally (18.00). Crete is magical...Proud to be...
I knew a 70year old Greek that danced like that only faster and way better his name was Gustav
He was born in I believe 1919 was thru the war, told how they rode horses and was so thirsty they drank the horse's urine! He is my friend my best friend I ever had in this life!
Thanks!

Question: What is a chauvinist?
Answer: Someone who thinks that his country is more beautiful than Crete!
he fell over at 14:25 omg, lol
What is the name of Chrysanthi's tavern?
Where can we find the rest of this series? What year was it made?
Nicely done. But someone should have informed the commenter about the right place to accent a name place. (E.g., Agios NikOlaos, not NikolAos.
What kind of sheep?
Thavmasia douleia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do you know when this documentary was made? I can't find any more information about it.
not soo many bt i see some people in this video its death now
You can see it at the end of the film. From german Television : das Zweite and arte.
Greece The Island. a Ten part travel documentary by SBS Australia
Those flocks of sheep need a few sheepdogs!
Santorinni is not Crete
This video is not Santorini
I would have liked to have seen him put the 16,000 pieces of wood together.
The real name is HELLAS!!!!!!!!!!

yeah you wish
The watery alley regionally weigh because tennis strikingly number by a offbeat roast. synonymous, smooth production
This is a very poetic comment. Well done.
a paradise without trees? I don't think so. and no, it isn't beautiful either. the word you want (and can't find) is "barren". Crete is barren for the most part.
Just emigrated from Canada to Crete. That should tell you something!😀
Seen the Lasithi Plateau? Oranges lemons apricots almonds melon zucchini...I could go on. They all grow there and in many other places.
poor soul, how little you know and how big are your statements. Travel before you speak, see and experience before you make up your mind.
There are many forests in Crete, as big mountain with snow all year long
chrissie1066 I would in a heartbeat!
but cretans suck
why?
Cyprus is better.
Nooooo
