Our Gear:
We travel with a Microsoft Surface everywhere we go. I edit my videos on it & use it to backup my pictures and vides while we travel. It’s light and the best travel laptop on the market in my opinion.

We use Sony Alpha series cameras to film our videos. They are compact so you don’t look like a super tourist when you take great pictures and videos while you travel.

We use Manfrotto Tripods. They are compact, travel well, and honestly I would not use another tripod for my nice cameras.

Travel Plug that works in pretty much any country & has four USB ports. A must for any traveler.

Want to grab some great gear? We have used Osprey Packs for years & swear by them. Check them out here

Need some clothing for your next adventure? Patagonia has some pretty good stuff for all kinds of travelers.

No exaggeration about the people. I have been all over Greece and the people of Crete are incomparably hospitable, and in a genuine way, not just because you are a tourist.

I'm an archaeologist who spent a summer working at Knossos and this brought back so many happy memories! I've backpacked all around the world and yet Crete remains one of my very favourite islands 😍

[erikh]

the hospitality of this place is totally unmatched. i don’t think they put on an act towards tourists, i just think they genuinely love people in general

I love everything about Crete 🇬🇷❤️
It‘s my second home. I go twice a year. Can‘t live without Crete 😍❤️

The best food I've ever had was on Crete. Just a simple Greek salad with the best tomatoes I've ever tasted was a enough to make my day.

I am a Cretan, living in Heraklion, and I can say that this video is really useful and accurate!

[CyberSarge]

I lived on Crete 1982-84 (USAF) and the saying for Greek time was "Tomorrow, tomorrow" not that they were lazy, just not in a rush to do anything. LOVED the food, people, sites, and culture.

[neilleighton-jones]

Absolutely adore Chania, and Crete in general. Spent 7 months working on Chania harbour back in 2017. The people are genuinely lovely, the food incredible (if you choose wisely) and the climate is second to none. My favourite place I’ve ever visited. ❤
