    I was in the US Air Force and Stationed on Crete in 80-90s. Spent 8 years there. I left 1993 and returned July 2019. I was in Chania many times during my tour. The base closed 1993. It was great to return. Chania was my favorite place on Crete.

      Chania is a must. Also, on the south side of the island we found a few smaller gems. Paleochora is one (it's like a little surf town) and then Matala (it has some crazy history with caves and hippies..yes hippies) If you watch our Crete Beaches video you'll get a glimpse of that town at the end. It's very chill. - T

    My wife and I have just returned from Chania after 4 days there. We’re sad that we only had about an hour to see the old city before heading to the airport so this video is helping us understand what we missed and plan a return soon! Btw, the pie you guys tried was the first thing we had on our first night and I enjoyed that so much because it was the closest to Brazilian Pastel I’ve been in 2 years (we live in Belgium). But mine was a mix of both the cheese and spinach and the combination was awesome! Thanks for the video 😁🇬🇷

    Just viewed your video. Chania looks great! My brother visited there about 6 years ago. He only had good things to say about it. Don't know if anyone commented on this, but it looks like you guys were trying the Tiropita (Cheese Pie) and Spanakopita (Spinach pie). These are common throughout Greece with some variation. Sometimes they make them in large trays and cut them into squares. Other times they make them into a small pie shapes or triangle shapes. My mom used to make the spanakopita with feta as well which was a good blend of flavors. My mom is no longer with us, so this brings back memories.

    Guys some decades ago Greeks used to be mostly mountainous people. So there are thousands of beautiful mainland villages with this kind of architecture like in Croatia etc. Even in ancient Athens the houses (not the temples) looked more beige neoclassical than you think. Romans then took that architecture. White houses with blue doors/windows are mostly (I'd say only) in Cyclades islands

    • @DelightfulTravellers

    Nice as Chania is, damage caused by the Germans in WWII means the old town is more fragmented and mixed up with newer buildings. It's a fine place but just a few miles further east on the same northern coast is the town of Rethymno which has THE most charming and unspoiled old town where you can wander down narrow cobbled alleys, past welcoming tavernas and some high quality shopping. I've been to Chania once and Rethymno 3 or 4 times. Nuff said :)

    I'm travelling to Chania in May and very excited!! Can you tell me what the locals English is like if any? Trying to learn Greek is not going as well as I'd hoped! When did you go, as concerned about it now being hot enough in May😟 And how do people tend to dress? Thankyou so much, you've been so helpful with the video already💕

      Megan Laurie most younger folks speak English but lots of people don’t. You don’t need to learn Greek. Pointing and laughing along with broken phrases with locals will get you by just fine. We were there in July and it was very hot. People dress just like anywhere else. Have so much fun - Trevor

      I was in Xania for a couple months this past spring. Almost everyone speaks English to varying degrees. But a little Greek can go a long way! Hello, How are you? Please, Thank you, Delicious! The Greeks are the friendliest people I've met on my travels! I've always tried to say at least a few things in the native language every country I visit (out of respect), and the Greeks are the only people to appreciate it, AND corrected my grammar - in a helpful, friendly way. The day before I left, I was informed by one of my Cretan friends, that I was no longer American, but Greek. Hahaha

    German paratroopers took Crete in WW2 in a remarkable feat. Some of the worst fighting in Western Europe took place on that island with the Cretans fighting admirably till the end . The allies being battered from land and air surrendered leaving the Germans to exact reprisals on the Cretans many of whom were taken out and executed en mass. It would be more interesting to follow the trail from Metala to Heraklion and experience the conditions.

    Hi, we are there next June for our 57th Wedding Anniversary, we will be with friends, if anyone has any recommends for a place to stay in the old town with a nice size balcony and two rooms are needed, maybe a small hotel that also has a roof terrace would be great, cost not important.

    Love the editing style, what do you use to edit?
    As for the moats, usually, they drew the waters from the nearest rivers, looking at a map there are 2 rivers running 30km ish either side of Milan...that's a long way to haul water with horse and cart though :?
    Those 7 archway things look like old boat building ramps or something? Pretty interesting though!

    • @DelightfulTravellers
      @DelightfulTravellers  6 лет назад

      Hey FS! Thanks.. it's always great when someone points out the editing 😊 We use Final Cut Pro X for all the vids. You're probably right about the moats. We never thought of that. I'd say those archways were for boats as well. - Trevor

    The difference in Greek coffee is we don't drink the coffee ground we wait for them to settle, while in Turkish the serve with spoon to stair it and drink them all together

      Also, this type of coffee is drank in many eastern mediterannean and balkan countries and depending on the country you're in it's called differently with a name referring to the country you' re in.

      my friend,i m greek,and i live in chania...
      there r different pies,u can have just with cheese or just with spinach or both 2gether which as i mentioned is called spanakotiropita...u can also have it with something sweet in it...so the pie as covering is the same of course,but then u put different stuff inside which then gives it the specific taste of spinach or cheese or both or something else,u can even have them with some meat inside,or something sweet - pie means pita in greek,and depending on what u wanna have inside the pie u give it the extra name like spanakopita for spinach,tiropita for cheese,spanakotiropita for spinach + cheese etc
