    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.

      ​@@THATGREEKGUY_ I didn't either! Enjoyed your hike there yesterday evening. But that's too risky for me nowadays given my more limited current hiking skills now I'm 63 years old (or young LOL).
      I did Aradena in 1993 and in 2017. But the last time I had already more difficulties to go down all the way to Marmara beach. I didn't remember it was that challeging.
      Have been a few times to Tripiti Gorge, not from Omalos but from Sougia. In the eighties and nineties no one went there, yeah maybe by boat.
      I remember one day I hiked there from Sougia and met a friendly man, he was kinda guarding there, I suppose the goats from the Greek owner. There was a little building where he lived. He was so happy to see a person passing by that he immidiate invited me to eat bread and cheese and drink raki! So the hike back to Sougia wasn't so easy any more with some raki's in the legs.

    Thank you so much for this wonderful video. I have been 5 times to Crete, and I have been several places on road trips, both west, south, north and east, but as there are so many beautiful places, it is hard to choose during a vacation. A friend of mine says, you need a lifetime to get to to know all the nice places of Crete, and I think he is right. And you also want to go back and visit places and people you have met before. Marmara beach was beautiful as we had two nights stay in Loutro, and ended our stay with a trip to this amazing place, but most of the places in this video was unknown to me.

    Oh wow, thank you for such a brilliant video! What part of Crete would you recommend someone stay for their first time? I'd love plenty of things to do (exploring hidden gems like in this vid!) but to be away from larger crowds of people as it makes me anxious!

    • @THATGREEKGUY_
      @THATGREEKGUY_  2 роки тому +3

      Thank you! Well I live in Chania so I guess I'm a bit biased. But it does offer a plethora of options within 1,5 hours of driving. West coast is more popular I would say. To skip the crowds try heading south. Maybe around Sfakia area. Loutro, Marmara and sweet water beach.

    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!

      East part is not my strong side. Regarding the lesser known places, we enjoyed Milonas gorge and waterfall, Richtis gorge, Sarakina gorge and of course Treis Ekklisies, Abas waterfall and Maridaki that you saw in this video. There is also Agiofarango in south Heraklio.
