- Sometimes you just have one of those days. But in all seriousness, hiking the Samaria Gorge in Crete, Greece was INCREDIBLE. This is the longest gorge in Europe and one of the most beautiful attractions in Crete. If you are thinking of going on this hike, make sure you are well prepared with food, water, sun hat and very good hiking shoes. There's plenty of excursions that will take you there from Chania, so make sure you take the opportunity to see this natural wonder if you traveling to Crete!

An epic hike that's all downhill and ends at a beach, sounds good to me. Appropriately enough, I ate a gyro while watching this video.
Very appropriate!
Gabriel, when are you coming back to Greece? As previously mentioned in one of your videos you can stay in my condo in Agios Nikolaos, Crete. Take care!
Gyro is not even a traditionnal greek food. It s persian. It came to greece last century with greeks coming from turkey during the population exchange. Traditionnal greek food is pies: milkpie, sweetpumkinpie, cheesepie, spinachpie etc
@@carlwermar8161 mousaka, kleftiko, taramas, etc
@@carlwermar8161 So, persians are eating pork?
I did Samaria Gorge when I was 15 and I LOVED it! 15 years later I still remember a lot. It was sooooo beautiful and amazing. We also got up early, around 4.30am, but it was SO worth it. If you visit Crete you need to do this but don´t forget to bring real hiking shoes!
I don't know what's more beautiful...the scenery or Alina...ok ok the scenery comes in a close second :)
This is an excellent vlog and serves as a testament to your dedication towards creating insightful content. Filming and hiking for 6-7 hours under extreme conditions is no small feat. Hats off 👏
Thank you, Rahul! It was painful, but worth it!
That is gorge-ous!
Thank you for bringing us along for the hikem 70K coming soon.
Well look at you, the early riser. Hope you’re having fun. 🇬🇷.
Very cool,a hike in 40 degree heat is heroism. Nice video.💪👍🌷
How this comment become one day earlier since the vedio is uploaded just now
Hi Alina , I was impressed by your grit & determination. You were down , but not out. You look sharp in your glasses !
Thank you!
Hiking the magnificent Samaria Gorge in exceptional summer heat is itself a key challenge! Conccurrently capturing your hike on video is all the more overwhelming. Nice work, Alina!!!
I did the hike a dozen years ago.... when I was 60. Then I hiked up to the old church at the end.
Way to go!!! I am so happy for you to end it up without injury. Hope you enjoy your journey and find something new, Alina.
Thank you so much!
Thanks so much for the upload. Stay well.
Wow, beautiful hike! That creek definitely looks very inviting (clean) to get just a cool splash of water.
The water is very clean on Crete!
Another lovely video Alina! Look forward to watching the rest of your travelling experiences!
Beautiful location! Thanks for sharing
Wow 😍
You don't just have the looks, but the content and effort as well! I don't think any vlogger can beat you, I mean for that they'll have to walk the extra mile of being over-adventurous cos no matter how well-maintained one is, one can never beat or even compete with your God-gifted beauty and innocence!
really talented film maker,beatiful video as always.
Wow... Fantastic Adventure. I enjoyed your video. Once again Super and thanks a lot for such as awesome content 👍 😊
Здорово! Красивые горные места! Аж самой захотелось пройтись там!
I will take you! :)
Your Momma? Thank you, Momma for beautiful daughter Alina! I need a translation dictionary.
Bravo 👏 Hiking in this weather conditions is not a joke, great job Alina. Landscapes were amazing. Thanks for sharing. :)
you must visit the island called ikaria.the people there live longer than other people in the world😊search it😊kisses😘😘
I've heard of that! Will definitely keep it in mind.
Hi Alina...Good morning...Amazing...Beautiful...thanks..God bless you...👍👍👍
It's a beautiful place ❤️❤️ love to be there hiking one day😍
Alina you are braver than I am. There's no way I would have made it in that heat. Glad you still enjoyed it. Looking forward to your next video. ✌✌
Congrats, you did it! And I like the Herb Alpert soundtrack!
Hi Alina! What luck! I just woke this morning, and a mere two minutes before, you’ve posted this gem of a video! 🇺🇸 Already 6 comments! Wow, like flies to honey! LOL. And indeed, you are so sweet! This hike is indeed a challenge. I love your candor and even the exasperated gasps. That stream through the gorge suggests the reward at the end - dangling those tired feet in the cool of the Mediterranean Sea - awesome! What music was that, though - reminds me of Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass (did I just show my age!). As always, Alina, thanks and God bless you sweet woman!
Deborah Kennedy, hello again! Thanks for the reminder. I think one can also tap on the screen of an iPhone and see the song titles / artists. She started embedding these about a month back - very wise idea for copyright strike reasons. BTW, I think it would be great, as you mentioned in another comment (yes, I read them sometimes) for her to do some vlogs in the NW USA - would be closer to her Mom’s location in Saskatchewan. Meet-up with Steves would be a great idea, and so affirming for her. Also, didn’t know you were a body builder - I have a female cousin who competes nationally and came in very high in deadlift - first name “Lindsey”, maybe you know her? Anyway, have a really great day! In Him!
My legs hurt after watching the video!!! 😓😓
Thank you what beautiful place and I enjoyed video and be safe 🇺🇸🇺🇸
this takes me back did this in oct 2003 from rethymon it was amazing hike but the next day could hardly walk met a couple of 77 year olds h&w well soon they hit the bottom whoosh they were gone very fit people wonderful day
Belle région et notre guide est très jolie
It should be a challenging shock for you Mediterranean's heat after Canada. I think it is your biggest difficulty to deal with hot weather of Greece Alina.....
Great video and what a hike. By the look of the terrain hiking boots look like they would be a good idea. Watching from Vancouver Island BC.
Hello beautiful, good to see you and your gorgeous smile. Thanks for sharing.
Really digging the new music!
WOW, you have a will that surpasses human strength. Thanks for the experience, Alina. Please be careful with some of these test of human strengths. I know you are in great physical form, but you are the type of person that goes the extra mile for yourself and us along with you. Will take your suggestions and warnings seriously, I know I could never attempt something like this. Be safe and as always - - Cheers!!
Thanks! Yes, have to be careful while being adventurous :)
I didn't know that you're a hiker. Good job. Nature's always a giver.
Go Alina👍✌🤟
So nice. It reminds me of Italy and some hiking in islands such as Corsica. The landscape looks really similars. What I love in Greece is that there is 16000 km of sea shore if you count all the islands.
I remember doing this on my holiday in Crete.
One of the guys that planned the trip miscalculated what time the ferry was leaving at the port, so we had to rush the entire Gorge as to not miss our ride home. Ended up with severe heat exhaustion and passed out when I got to the beach, only to discover that we actually had 4 hours to spare.
I'd do it all again though, the views were beautiful.
My favorite book is about hiking New Hampshire, Vermont trails. Some of the trails had waterfall as a reward.....for soaking our feet of course.
Super happy for you!
Спасибо за сердце.
It was just me or her eyes looked even more beautiful in this new video??
I did this walk with my wife about 4 years ago. The following day was the worst....lactic acid in the legs. A lot of downhill that we were unused to. But spare a thought for the guides. Our Austrian guide walks this route almost every day in the tourist season. It's nice to see it again from the comfort of home.....
To do it every day would be insane!
@@AlinaMcleod He said (if I remember correctly) he'd been doing that job every summer for more than 10years.
Now that is my king of hiking. But you still forget to protect yourself from heatstroke as seen in your lovely Phuket livestream 2021
Really amazing gorge I wish I could be there someday. Cheers Alina..
Hi Alina. Thank you for the fabulous message and life's lessons. lol
Be careful of summer heat fatigue and have a good sleep.
haha yes, I'm recovering now :)
Keep good hydrated!
I walked the Samaria Gorge in 1971, and saw about ten people all day. We'd all arrived on the same bus. I went back some years later and was told that 2k people per day are walking the Gorge. Best not to go back to places, maybe.
Fact: Greece have 2 Gorges, one is in Crete where you are ,and one in mainland.Samaria Gorge is the longest in Europe and the ather one Vikos Gorge is the deepest in Europe and second in the world after grand canyon.
Greece has many gorges because the landscape is very mountainous. The two you mentioned just happens to be the most famous.
Vikos national park is probably the most beautiful place I've ever seen.
Sorry to hear about the hives and heatstroke. I've never knew that hives can be induced by strenuous physical exercise. Learn something new every day. As for the video, awesome as always. Excellent scenery - you must have been awed with those two mountains on either side of you. Glad to see you made it through to the end, it looked extremely difficult. BTW: Watched the Happy Hour video as well. Very cool. You asked whether I'd want you to do more live streams... Definitely! Hopefully I can make it to some of them :-) Keep enjoying!
Awesome, thank you so much! :)
When you speak seriously, I get the feeling that you are about to burst into tears lol 😂
Love your Vlogs. I visited some places after I saw them in your videos and they were amazing.
I'm so glad! Thank you!
Hike does look great. Always need to stack up on snacks and lots and lots of water. :)
Great video, thx Alina
Great video! I'll be there in 2 weeks.
Tourists: let's go hiking at Samaria in the summer heat
Greeks: 😮
Another Awesome Video so many incredibly beautifull places.
Greece simply has some of the Most beautifull places in all the World.

Thank you so much!
Alina Mcleod, Your very welcome Alina. 😊🙏👍👋🌟
Yeah this was quite a trip :) did it 10 yrs ago , but on the plus side the pure mountain water around resting areas is the best , people were taping water into their bottles all the time :) making it event more exhausting due to additional weight of these bottles :D .
I did the hike in August time sever years ago. (Mistake, too hot) I wore trainers which were a tiny bit too small and bruised my toes. One month later my big toe nails came off. My fingers also swelled up with the heat. Recommend hiking boots. Thanks for the memory and well done for completing it.
You are looking very different beautiful locations wao keep it up
Nice trip, thanks. Hard to imagine the Minoan Civilization was originated in such a rocky environment. My wife and I had planned to go to Greece for a few months this year but the pandemic ruined our plan.
Totally wrong!Check this out.www.greeka.com/crete/geography/
Спасибо, Алина, как всегда очень интересно и познавательно!
Привет, Алина!!! Ты, как всегда, неотразима!!! На фоне тебя это ущелье просто блекнет.
Great video, beautiful images. Its ok to push yourself, great job!
Awesome love the tunes I thought it was Argentines
Hoi, Alina, what an experience and this all during the hot time of the year. Take care and you´re time with things like this. Superb storytelling as always. Now Santorini will be hopefully a bit more comfortable than this hike. Done also similar things, really special and breathtaking.
always beautiful...
Спасибо за сердце.
Красивые глазки ещё спят
Привет Алина из Санкт-Петербурга,смотрим новый ролик! Алина береги ноги ,ты нам нужна здоровой!Спасибо было интерестно ,ждём новые рассказы и показы из Греции!
Hey Alina you look beautiful with that cap and your sunglasses is a nice day perfect for to do hiking
Alina, make sure you get to see Corfu as well! It's absolutely splendid!
I'm going to Crete with a friend for a week on July 29th. I was considering doing this hike, but didn't really take the heat into consideration. Might have to reconsider hahah
I'm glad I found your video, if not I might've not thought about that.
Well done 👍🏼 it looked harder than Annapurna trek 😁
Never clicked so fast!!! 😃
Thanks :D
Hello Beauty alina your video superb iam great fan of u 👌👌👌🤝
Alina, nice scenery & a much better video compared to that 5 way chat.
I saw the title (eff my life) and thot oh no! what has happened to Alina? 🤣 haha u got me
good tour
Hope you are fully recovering. That was impressive filming in those conditions. And brave! Award yourself another snickers as a reward. 👍
haha I most certainly did, thank you
Берегите себя, наш Алинький цветочек. А цветам, особенно в жару, нужна вода: не забывать брать с собой бутылочку воды, отпивая понемногу, но регулярно, и еще неплохо спрыскиваться из пульверизатора, головной убор, желательно белого цвета, -- ну, как в школе рассказывали. Но Ваш хрупкий героизм восхищает. Спасибо и храни Господь!
Спасибо :)
@@AlinaMcleod (что-то додумал, но лучше поздно чем никогда) - может, вообще снаряжаться "по-велосипедному"? - горные ботинки, это да, но плюс наколенники, налокотники, митенки, если там легко можно шлёпнуться и ободраться; да и каскетка не помешает, если там такие валуны (и под нее можно воду заливать, тоже "кондиционер")).
* Приятно, что греческий алфавит так похож на кириллицу.
* * Не хочу строить из себя лекаря, но мне знаком феномен аллергии от чрезмерной физической нагрузки. Может, сыпь аллергическая? Тогда нужен какой-н. антигистамин. Во всяком случае, проверить, не в этом ли дело.

Beautiful video.
Amazing video I really like it 👍
Alina that day: "I've been so busy today, 6-7 hours of doing hard work. [Whispering] Actually, I`ve been looking at baby kri-kri goats." 😄
Seriously. Это был очередной пример мужества от прекрасной девушки. I mean, guys, that this very kind & beautiful girl is very "Good Samaritan" & man enough to do it. By the way, I checked out your Chania "male dorm"`s web site & it seemed to me so nice. I also appreciated your tour guide's honesty. When I was a kid, it was hidden from me that the path from our village to the railway station, with descents and ascents, took about 4.5 kilometers. Despite the spectacular landscape, I felt then that it was something bordering on sadomasochism 😅 But I'm laughing now & remembering it with warmth and gratitude for that time.
I think in your case it`s also a great workout before visiting the Caucasus. I don’t know how effective it is, but it might also be worth recommending a kind of bicycle helmet with open ears in places with avalanches. And, of course, big stock of caution. Stay safe with the feeling that You are alive! This gorgeous episode is very much alive & I thank You ❤️
Glad you enjoyed it and it brought back some memories! Definitely want to check out Caucasus sometime :)
My feet was aching so many days after this trip. I can still feel how awful was to get down stairs all over Chania... But, it is definetily worth it. This place is awesome and the most beautiful and epic place where I have ever been in my life yet. I will walk this gorge again some day, that is a promise. Maybe with kids, i doubt they can take it though... ;)
Алина добрый вечер, с самыми лучшими пожеланиями. Смотрю Вас с большим удовольствием. Восхищаюсь Вами. А вообще-то считал что самое длинное ущелье Европы - Большой Европейский каньон(Франция), правда там облет на вертолёте. И дорога внизу вроде есть. Пасть Вердона впечатляет. А по красоте - на Мальорке, в горной цепи Тримунтана,2-й по длине с выходом к морю. Там горная дорога, реверсивная, но с остановками на обзорных площадках. Советую побывать. С уважением
What's up 4 eyes I like you with glasses lol. Beautiful trip
Nice vlog 😊
Tough prairie girls win! Go Saskatchewan! Congratulations on a job well done. Great content!
Good hike. Please come to CA on an "inch hike". They last up to 26 mi at 100 degrees, and cover about 6000' elevation gain. Unfortunately I have never been to Greece or Crete.
That sounds insane!
@@AlinaMcleod After checking out a few more videos, I would I would say the hike takes 3h walking time, and nothing needed to take other than credit card to get back.
Alina...thanks for another great video (Spaciba)!!! Could you please tell us what you do for living?
These videos lol I'm a CZcamsr
@@AlinaMcleod Thanks for reply sweet Alina)))
I once did a 75 km long ridge hike in Carpathian Mountains(in Ukraine) with some breathtaking views. It took us three days to finish it.
Good for you!
Beautiful vlog....am from India
hi alina, can you please add audio instead of writing on screen cause every time it’s pop-up i need to pause the video every time to read & don't want to miss background scenery. i ain't good in english but i tried to explain... anyway love your vlog! 💛
Алина, ты молодчина ! Тебе на Кавказе надо побывать. Кавказ состоить вес из таких ущельев, но красивее !
Hello Alina
11:25 I loved your channel. Have a nice day
😉✌ Алина , привет!!! Авантюристка ты , однако!!! Береги себя и не ввязывайся в авантюры , ты нам нужна здоровенькая! !! Красоты природные - КЛАСС!!! 💝👍👍👍
