Walking from Plakias to Souda (South Crete, Greece)
We spent some time in the charming coastal village of Plakias last year in October. It has some great beaches nearby, both sand and pebbles, and is close to a lot of sight-seeing worthy villages and gorges.
As a warm-up we walked to Souda. Not Souda close to Chania of course, but a small beach with a restaurant and a bar at about an hour walking.
It's an easy walk along the coast with some beautiful sights.
If you look close enough you will find Foteinari beach. The entrance to this secluded pebble beach is a bit hidden away, but it's a great spot and a lovely place to snorkel in the crystal clear waters. Fish all around!
Full disclaimer: we went to that beach on another day, but it felt rig...

Просмотров 5263 месяца назад
Yes it's true. We did another bike trip. This time to the picturesque Kardamyli and Foneas Beach for a quick getaway filled with colorful views and, of course, crystal-clear waters. We took the main road from Stoupa to Kardamyli and parked our bikes in the center. Time for some coffee and a late breakfast. Next, we went to see Belogianni beach and Mourtzinos Tower. After exploring some of the s...

Beautiful Hike to Tranquil Proastio from Stoupa (Greece)
Просмотров 5704 месяца назад
An unexpected beautiful hike from the main road, across the gorgeous hills of Proastio. We didn't expect to find that old fountain on the way back, which was a nice surprise. The trail seemed a bit overgrown, making it challenging, but doable. It is a pity that we can't record the scent of all the mountain herbs... The views over Stoupa, the Mediterranean Sea and of course the quiet and authent...

This sounds awesome, but let's put that in perspective: Adventure: Yes! Stunning region: Absolutely! Epic: Personally, no... (full disclaimer: I don't like to go around on a bike.) But...

Staying in Stoupa, we wanted to explore one of Greece's hidden gems: Agios Nikolaos! The path to Stoupa, free from cars by the way, is full of amazing viewpoints from mountain views, gorgeous plants and of course a lot of incredible sea views. Walking from the picturesque coastal town of Stoupa to this enchanting Greek fishing village is a joy! The path is flat and easy to follow. Once on it, y...

Join us on a virtual tour of Kalogria Beach in Stoupa, a very populair, but tranquil beach. Marvel at the crystal-clear waters, golden sand, and picturesque surroundings of this hidden gem in the Mediterranean.

We Walked to Balos Beach (Crete, Greece)
Просмотров 1,5 тыс.Год назад
Balos Beach is a gorgeous place on Crete with crystal clear water that, due to it's unique location is very calm. Every side of the beach is different, from sand to rocks, and the slow slope makes it very accessible. Balos is at the utmost north-western side of the island. You can reach Balos by boat, which seems to be the easiest method, by car, or on foot. Even if you go there by car, you sti...

Previously I posted the road trip from Elafonisi back to our home and I promised to post our visit to Elafonisi beach. Elafonisi is an incredibly beautiful area and it is protected by the Natura 2000 program. This video was shot in April, a little before the tourist season started. It is still very quiet and peaceful. #ElafonisiBeach #Crete #Greece #Natura2000 #ChaniaBeaches It starts with a pa...

Chania is a beautiful city in the north west part of Crete near the port of Souda. It is famous for it's Venetian Harbor and the gorgeous narrow streets where you can find shops and restaurants. During our stay in Kissamos we went to Chania two times and I would love to visit it more often. This is a small impression of our visits to Chania. Enjoy!

Crete 2023 Road Trip from Elafonisi to Ag. Georgios via Kefali
Просмотров 523Год назад
Most people driving north from here will take the passage through the Topolia tunnel, as we did on our way towards Elafonisi Beach (I will post that video soon). We didn't want to drive the same way back, so we took a left turn towards Kefali and didn't regret it. What a beautiful route! Driving along the westside of the mountains, through Kefali, Kampos, Platanos and other gorgeous villages, e...
Our Trip to the Acropolis of Polirinia
Просмотров 102Год назад
We went to the acropolis of Polirinia in April. The road from Kissamos to Polyrrhenia was beautiful and full of little gems like curves with views and old bridges. Even though the weather was cloudy the views were awesome. Climbing up to the Acropolis, at least at this time of year, the hillside is full of flowers and lush green bushes. Be careful not to get too distracted by it, because it's a...

We made a trip to the gorgeous lake Kournas on Crete. It is a bit in between Rethimno and Chania, next to the village of Kavallos. The tourist season is almost starting, so it is still very quiet here. We hoped to find some turtles (but we didn't...) We found sheep though...

An Off-Season Trip to 3 Beaches Including a Hidden Beach

We visited 3 beaches in the neighbourhood and one of them was well hidden. Currently it is March, so the touristic season has not yet begun. The beaches are gorgeous, but still empty and the water is cold.

Kissamos Independence Day 2023 - Crete

Today we had the privilege to be in Kissamos (Crete) while the Greek were celebrating their independence day. There were all kinds of activities. I recorded a part of the memorial prayer, the laying of wreaths, the parade and of course some Greek music and dance. We like to walk so skip to 1:51 if you like to jump in right away.

Crete 2023 - A Short Hike along the Rokka Gorge
So amazingly Beautiful, with its picturesque coffee shops and stores ! It was always my landmark as a kid that we were almost to Stoupa ….and I swear that Main Street still looks the same 40 years later! Thank you for this video and the childhood memories!
I can imagine that. It is a gorgeous village!
My grandparents lived in Saidona , the village at the top of the mountain that stands behind Stoupa. My father was also born in Saidona. I was born in Athens ,but we spent every summer in Stoupa first 16 years of my life ! Amazing place ! I will return one of these days and look up all the relatives and of course enjoy Stoupa and kalogria beach! Thank you for this amazing Video! It brought back so many memories ❤
O wow! Next time we visit Stoupa I will make sure to pay a visit to Saidona!

Wonderful ....I think I can smell the herbs! A truly beautiful place
I know, the scent lingers in my nose every time I think of it. It's such a strong memory
Beautiful work of a very beautiful place. My wife and I will be there beginning September for two weeks Zeus willing. Well done my friend. Xairetismata apo ta Cayman Islands. Just subscribed.
Ευχαριτώ πολύ!
Just got back after 3 weeks & booked 3 weeks next year May/June best times to go as it is, to date, much quieter than later. Great restaurants & the early morning walk to Ag Nick sets you up for the day! Greek people as of 20/30 years ago & hopefully, but prob not, it will continue. (Not many Germans either so sunbeds aplenty)!!! :-)
May is a beautiful month to be there!
Great video, good continuation, good luck - New 🔔🤝✅
Thank you! It was a really pleasant gorge!
Stumbled across your video after I searched Stoupa. Ive just booked a last minute holiday for August to get away from our awful weather. It really does look amazing
I guess it's a little less quiet there in August but I'm sure you'll enjoy it! (at least the sun! I've almost forgotten how the sun looks like...)
We love it, but what did you think of it? Very hot and relatively busy in August, but we don't mind.
@@mickwhittaker6265 We absolutely loved it and will definitely be going back. The snorkeling is amazing and there's a great choice of restaurants
Correct answer. 😁😁
A nicely edited film of my "Happy Place". I've never been in May - looks very inviting!
It is! I can recommend it!
Υπέροχη η Κρητη
Σωστά!
What a lovely video ❤
Thank you!
Great hiking in the gorge 👌 Like 👍 👍 👍 Have fun and enjoy my friends 🤝 🙋♂️
Thank you! It is a great 'starter' gorge. Not to long, not to difficult.
Thank you for the tour by bike my new friend 🤝 Stay connected and fully watched 🙏 Like 👍 👍 👍 Have a pleasant day 👌 🙋♂️ 🌹
Thank you! Same to you!
I have been many times in Crete, but only one time in Plakias 🙋♂️ I really love this beach 🏖 and the cool water sea 🌊 Thank you for sharing my new friend 🤝 Full sub 🙏 and a big like 👍 I wish the greatest success for you 🏆

We love it too. And early in the spring it is still very peaceful.
The colours are just beautiful.

Ευχαριστώ παρα πολύ! Μου αρέσουν πολύ και τα βίντεό σου!
I just love Stoupa, been going there for the last 20 years. Also the Mani is such a mystical part of the Peloponnese. ❤Chris Uk.
Most people I spoke there have been going there for years. I get why!
We were there 15 years ago and hardly any sunbeds in summer. Was very unspoilt. Still looks lovely
It was our first visit there, so I can't compare, but I do think it is lovely. The days of beaches with just a few sunbeds are gone I'm afraid.
Thanks for this, its a great slice of Greece. Will explore when I next go.
Awesome! Enjoy!
On a bike again... This will probably be the last time for a while 😁 Check out the first time: ruclips.net/video/LOworQHmhKY/видео.html
Kann nicht ganz erkennen wo das Besondere sein soll? Bis auf die Jodgrotte / Quelle ist doch alles so wie immer in Hellas. Stoupa finde ich langweilig.
Kein Problem, es gibt viele schöne griechische Orte. Irgendwelche Tipps zufällig?
Do you remember how much the sun beds were on Kalogria beach at all? As we are heading there later in the year (Great vlog)
No, sorry. We went there a lot, but didn't swim there. Great food at the restaurants though ;)

Thanks for another informative and entertaining video. We arrive in Stoupa in 5 days time, it looks wonderful. Might hire bikes and have fun avoiding the cats, dogs, sheep and even a fox!
There is a Bike Rental in Stoupa at Agora. The owner, Themis, is really nice! Enjoy!
More videos of Stoupa are on their way, so don't forget to subscribe! Here's one of a beautiful beach nearby: ruclips.net/video/o30mg2ogosA/видео.html
Have loved both these beautiful places for many years and the coastal path between the two is glorious 👍
True! It's a nice path. I'm uploading a video where we take a bike to go from Stoupa to Trahila. There's more of the path and Agios Nikolaos. I hope it's finished uploading tomorrow.
Back in lovely Stoupa soon, can't wait. Thanks for the nice reminder!
You are welcome! Thanks for watching and enjoy!
Lovely Video.. glad you can help all of us Appreciate the beautiful Greek culture.. the world would be a much better place if all would follow the Greek way of life..
Thank you. Your appreciation means a lot! I couldn't agree more about the Greek way of life!

Thanks for a fantastic video. We arrive for our first visit to the Peloponnese on 29th May and are staying a short walk away from Kalogria. Your video was very informative, thanks again. EDIT at 5.17 I can see where we are staying - top right corner to the left of the white balcony - Nefelli apartments 😊
Glad to help. We had a nice meal at the Almyriki Tavern. I hope to post more videos of Stoupa and nearby places soon! Edit: Nefelli apartments is close by. If you like coffee / freddo cappuccino, you can get it fresh at th Hypermarket a few 100 meters from where you're staying. Enjoy!
Thanks. Already subscribed so I won’t miss them.

Hello. So it took you around 2-3 hours to get there?
Approximately. On a slow but steady pace.
Nice walking tour. Crete is a piece of heaven on earth with its crystal clear water! I am a big fan of the Greek islands and also make relevant content. It would be nice to stay connected 👏👏👏
Thank you! The islands are beautiful indeed!
Schitterend!
Absoluut! We missen het nog steeds...
@@ellenik dat snap ik! Maar het wacht wel op jullie...
Early in the season lovely!
Indeed. It was April and I could recommend it to everyone (but then it would get too busy :) )
Τέλεια διαδρομή... Τέλειο μέρος.. 👍👍👍👍
Ευχαριστώ πολύ! Είναι όμορφα εκεί.
