7:15 Whoever did the steps did a beautiful job.
My favourite Island in the sun - I absolutely adore Crete and am heading there in June and cannot wait.
Oh my goodness - you’ve just passed my Aunty’s house in Rethymno - although I live in NZ now, these types of videos are so lively to see as obviously I don’t get to get back to my family in Crete that often!
Bushes in Rethymno/Tesco are called Bougainvellia 👍
Thank you Tim, lovely vlog, i cant get over how beautiful everywhere looked, almost like something out of a dream, Crete has to be one of the most photogenic places on earth
Very true
We are grateful for the tourism but the sad thing is that people from all over the world can come to Greece and enjoy these beautiful places while most of the locals can't afford it.
yikes!
My opinion is when you live in Greece there is no need to go on vacation because beauty is all around you all the time. My husband is from Samos and when we are there I don't the need to travel the rest of Greece.
@@gracedegraaf2454 agree
Honestly it’s like that everywhere. I’m in Canada and it’s getting very unaffordable.
Yes Giorgos i have been wondering about that as I am horrified about the prices, now that I want to book. Its the same in South Africa, only nice for tourists. Very bad, because locals make a country and pay the taxes.
Elafonisi is absolutely lush. Crete is probably the best place I've ever been. As soon as we can afford to go back I'm going with the family.
Just catching up on the blogs I haven’t seen. Wow, loved the tour of Crete. Ive been to Elounda which is also beautiful. Those beaches were immense . 👍
oh yes I hear thats nice
Waterfalls are amazingly stunning. A great excursion.💯
Yes they are! but I came across it by accident
Going to crete in june i absolutely cannot wait, my god thats beautiful
Have fun
Incredible scenery! Really love the interesting sensation you get from this tour! Thanks so much!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Been to Crete many times during the last 35 years…. Just love that Island. My dream is to buy a House and live there when I retiré !
same
Great video again Tim. We've been to many of the Greek Islands but not Crete, yet! It looks beautiful. Rethymnon harbour looks amazing!
It really is! I was the same but I thought id check it out
Enjoyed that, I've not been to Crete before cheers for the walk around Tim 👍
Another awesome video of an amazing island . These vids keep us going though these tough times
Glad you like them! thanks means a lot!
Thank you for shooting this amazing video
you're welcome , thanks for watching
Crete is indeed one of the most beautiful destinations I have ever visited. We stayed in 'Lerapetra' and our hotel had the most amazing sea view.
Beautiful. It is 'Rhodes old town' next year.
Oh I haven't been to Rhodes since I was a kid
It's "ierapetra", with an "i" not an "L". This in Greek means "sacred-stone" or "holy-stone". Similar to..."holy cow"! :D :D
Do you recommend Crete for a honeymoon trip? And is it expensive? Hotels, Food, and other buying stuff..?
Rhodes is amazing! Take a day trip to Lindos when you're there.
Tim, this has re-surfaced amazing memories of a boys trip in 2006. We stayed on the strip by McDonald’s. I recall a sunrise swim with a group of girls we met, looking out at the island and the church by that Nisos beach area. What a time to be alive. Subscribed 👌🏻
I think this was your best video Tim, you made it look stunning.
Thanks.. check out my other Greece videos in playlist
Looks so beautiful in Crete.
Thoroughly enjoyed this video Tim!!!
Awesome, thank you!
Wow, so beautiful lovely island. The colour of the water is a lovely blue. I hope you didn't kick a toe Tim in your flip flops.
Not at all lol
This is absolutely beautiful Tim🥰
I love Crete & I love Rethimos.
When you were swimming in that Lagoon, at the begininng you sounded like you were freaking out Tim.
And I don't blame you with the green slime underneath your feet & pebbles & rocks!
I think you were very brave doing that.
Your my Hero Tim, you reminded me of an old film called The African Queen.
When Humphrey Bogart pulled a boat called 'The African Queen' down a river in WW2.
You're better looking than Humphrey Bogart I must say!
Palm Tree Forest with lushious mature Palm Trees 🌴 with the random Geese everything looking very tropical.
What a long climb down those paved Slab Steps to see that amazing Church & Waterfall.
Breathtaking!
Malia was very picturesque & so quiet as this was during the Pandemic times.
Amazing Beaches 🤩
You're a fantastic walker Tim & an amazing swimmer too!
You walked & swam alot during this vlog!
The lone Church was a solitary sight very romantic with the blue backdrop of Sea & Sky!
Those crystal clear light blue opaque Waters of Elafonissi Beach🏖️ what a heavenly place!
I agree with you Tim, it's one of the loveliest Beaches I've ever seen!
The water was so clear i& opaque it looked like a continuation of the Sandy Beach.
You could forget about all your worldly cares in a place like this!
I could see the pink tinge in the sand, beautiful
That Goat wasn't going to let you pass was he😂
That looked a hard walk on that rocky terrain down to Balos Beach, I could never do a walk like that I don't blame you Tim you've walked far enough!
You have amazing strong Legs!
Rethimno is Definitely my favourite place, I remember watching you, Gaby & Holly on your live walk thru Rethimno at evening time.
It's so quiant with the beautiful restaurants I particularly like the Restaurant Alley with all the Authentic Old Fashioned Lanterns!
I'd love to have a meal there!
Love how all the shopd are open late at Night!
Beautiful hanging Flowers 🌺from the Rustic Greek Buildings.
That ancient old building needed abit of restoring!
I wonder why it got left?
What lovely big fat & tall Palm Trees 🌴 in Rethimno centre aswell.
I think I've had Battered Squib & I liked it.
The outside Restaurant by the Lighthouse front with you & Gaby & Holly was just where I'd like to be, very Greek & continental.
Fancied your Cheesecake Tim, looked very tasty!
Rethimno at Midnight very atmospheric!
Very interesting vlog Tim I love it❤❤
Once again I make myself sick....you know that homesick feeling....wishing I could be there. Great video.
Sorry! love the place
Excellent video. Crisp quality and audio. Good and fun commentary
Much appreciated!
Very well put together Tim, love the graphics 👏
Thanks 😊
Crete is an amazing island. Your tour is great. 8:05 great refreshing waterfalls. I enyojed watching. Regards from Slovenia.
It really is! thanks so much for watching
Very nice video Tim!! You did really well to get to some of those locations, especially swimming with the camera haha. Thanks for your efforts.
Ha I know I should .. things I do to get the shoot
Thanks for this bud it was insightful, im going in three weeks so you've gave me a few places to check out, subscribed!!👍
Thanks 😉
Can't wait booked my Honeymoon to Crete and it looks like we won't be disappointed.
you wont!
Hi
Lovley vlog. YES.. you must wear shoes that are suitable. It's painful to damage your feet especially abroad. Scenery is beautiful. Thank you.
Looks beautiful ty Tim🎉
We just booked our trip for next summer. I can’t wait!!
lucky you .. well jell
Next summer is too far away . Be super patient for next summer !
Looks adventurous good video, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching 😁
Went to Crete last year. All the places in Greece are beautiful.
they are!
Thankyou for taking me to these islands I'd love to visit, my eyes would go blurry on all those steps down ❤
My pleasure 😊
Crete looks lovely, especially all the lovely beaches. It would be too hot for me so it’s nice to be able to see it through your eyes. Thanks Tim😊
It really is!
I love how subtle and discreet Tim covers booties in his channel! 😂🎉 Much love Tim! 😊
Great video it’s been 20 years since we were there thanks for information 👍🏾
Thanks for watching jean
Hi Tim. Just seen your Crete island tour. Glad your camera didn't get wet. The places looked brilliant. Loved the waterfalls. Glad you didn't get eaten by pharanas in the river. Marie
Lol don't say that ha ha I didn't even think about it
Amazing tour and blog tim nice and warm cheers 4 showing
Thanks 👍
Love Crete, my husband and I go every other year but skipped this year as we moved instead. We always stay in Rythimno but do coach tours to other parts Elofinisie being our favourite place for a relaxing day. Another place to visit is Spinalonga for the Island were they sent people with leprosy very interesting place. Never been to the waterfalls as I would never make it back up those steps. We are going next year and can't wait. Great video.
thanks Michelle
Thanks Tim 😊Its on my list to visit 😊👍👍
Beautiful Island. Brilliant job 👍👍
Many thanks!
Best video on Crete so far. Thanks
wow thanks Robbie
Brilliant !! 👏👏👏
Thank you for sharing !!!
Cheers !!! 👍👍👍
Thank you too for watching
Great Vid Tim hope you had a great time and you haven’t been board sitting in all day since you got home
lol well I was busy doing editing so not bad
Absolutely stunning when I get my passport sorted out this is a place I want to go to. Nice video😎👍😉
You should david
Really brings the Crete atmosphere back home. Can't wait to go. :-)
thanks for watching
Great vidio mate top job well worth a watch
Thanks 👍 Tim
I went to Crete in the 80's - stayed just outside Ag Nic - OMG it was sooooo soooo cheap - 17p for a pint of imported German lager !! We accidentally visited the Suda Bay war graves cemetery - the saddest place on earth I have ever been - no bird song, no crickets - affected me badly for the rest of the day
Wow
Great walk tim as usual 👍👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Wow amazing Island. Thank you so much 😎💕
agree! thanks Colleen
Beautiful presentation of Crete! Very good video. Greetings from Rethymno!
Thank you very much! love Rethymno check out the LIVE I did from there
Crete is a diverse and vibrant land packed with ancient ruins, buzzing cities and breathtaking beaches. Many people come here for the sun, sea and sand yet the best things to do in Crete include much more than the standard package vacation.
defentliy
What are the best things to do in Crete?
Next best thing if you can’t go to Crete is walking with Tim. This is just fantastic. Just beautiful views.☀️
Lol thanks mel
@@WalkWithMeTim thank you Tim. See you soon for another walk. 🌸
Nice video. Crete is a beautiful place.
The plant you mentioned you were not able to
remember the name of is a bougainvillea, at least
that it what it looks like to me.
Jeff❤
Looks like a wonderful place to go - another one to add to the list!
The plant you keep referring to is Bouganvillea ..... I have one in my yard in North Queensland, Australia ... I have the same tropical climate ... theyre beautiful
This was brilliant Tim, we had a holiday in Rethymnon about 8 years ago and you went to many of the same places as us and it was fantastic to see them again. I remember Rethymnon being quite cosmopolitan but yet graffiti absolutely everywhere!
interesting not so much graffiti anymore tho
love the video tim that sea look beautiful and them steps god how did you get back up with flip flops on the sea food look amazing
Thanks for watching
Really nice video Tim really miss m holidays
But we have you 😊
Take care guys 👍🏻👍🏻
lol lol im happy to go on more if you want lol
Absolutely my friend 👍🏻👍🏻
Just hack from Crete. My holiday was exactly like this video but without all the tourists. Beautiful place.
So cool!
Hi Great video Tim, what time if year is this filmed in? The weather looks perfect. We are going in May this year and hope it's as nice as that :)
Great tour, I feel for your feet. Wear aquashoes, cheap ones are good enough my whole fam wear them, saves sunburn as well
Considering your channel is called walk with me, you would think you would put on a pair of track shoes. Everywhere in the world the tracks down to the beach are erroded and rocky and cant be done in flipflops. You can also buy rubber bottomed stretch on aqua shoes for walking on rocks and pebbles in water
I love how you like old doors and windows. I agree it's pretty cool.
You need to wear sneakers so you can walk in different terrain. The gorge was really cool. Views are fantastic no matter where you are on the islands.
Thank you for taking me on a walk with you through the most beautiful Greek beaches! I am disabled now and too frail to climb those hills and canyons to get to the water! It’s spectacular to see the world through your eyes! Thank you, Tim and good luck on your adventures! ❤️🌴⛵️🥰🌈🌊☮️❤️ the water is what temperature? It is crystal clear! Gorgeous! 🤩🤩🤩
you're more than welcome , thanks for watching check out my other travels to Greece and more!
Great vid Tim, Looks really nice, Maybe a bougainvillea plant you had ?
Thats it thanks Nic
Crete is a wonderful place especially the ancient sites. It also has the best museum in the world in Heraklion.
Crete is such a beautiful place, Tim. I cannot recall visiting where you were? Great Ibiza vibe vid 👍😀
don't I want to go to ibiza!
@@WalkWithMeTim I'm much too old for Ibiza these days 😂😂
@@thebard9055 I'll never be too old lol
Loved the video
thanks katie
Elafonissi has sand dunes and rock pools so walking from the main beach across to the other side you have your own private pools. Arrive at 7am I suggest. Tim I think never made it that far. It's away from the umbrellas haha so take your own picnic
Great video !
Glad you enjoyed it
I’m from Los Angeles and yes indeed they are all over L. A. The key is all day sun most of the year , warm temperatures most of the year and light to very water . A tough ask in the U.K.
very nice
Fantastic video. What did you shoot with, which camera, Rethymno at night? The resolution is excellent.
I’d like to go there next week or so, but the Covid cases make it difficult. I have been to Greece before but not Crete. I learned that having swim shoes help. I invested in higher grade water sandals. I see none wore masks. You’re video was great!
Thanks for watching Kimberly
Hi Tim, Gaby and Holly absolutely beautiful loved it . Amazing scenery and beaches. Made me wish I wax there 💕. Love to you all as always Tracey 💕 xxxx
Thanks Tracey
Thanks Tim, I'm off to Crete in a few weeks and have noted down some great locations thanks to you! By the way, I always use What3words to mark where I leave the car, and if I stumble across a nice place that I might want to revisit! 🙂
Looks great Tim, loved it there, i sent you email, but you must of got back after you got it👍👍👍
Amazing video! We hopefully will be on crete next month. Could you tell me the framerate you took the videos? Would be really helpful!
Thanks for watching david .. it was 30fps
@@WalkWithMeTim thank you 👍🏼
I love Creta! no rain yes sun :) every day is a summer day in Creta all year long :):):)
agree there cleo
Really? I was thinking about going in October but I assumed it would be cooler.
I noticed that most of those streets are very clean and nice but what I surperised about is the prices that can't be explained .
It was much cheaper before the EU thing.
If you want to go to Balos Beach and dont fancy the long drive and walk…. Rent a boat in Chania, or join a boat tour from Kissamos
Hi mate iam going to Stalis create in June I don't drive is there any nice walking places I like the look of the mountain Gorge
I watched this cause I’m going to Greece in a. Couple of days Crete in Greece ye
You should try the Elounda Beach Hotel. I go there lots, it is really nice. Also you should take a trip to Spinalonga from there. It was a leper colony. Steeped with history. Read the book called The Island by Victoria Hislop before you go and it will set the scene.
Some of the beach scenes seem out of focus but I'm having Windows 11 v Google/Facebook problems. Lovely video. My brother has a small place in a village called Almyrida which is near Chania. I've wondered what Rethimno would be like as opposed to Chania. PS I think the water at the beach is warmer as it was shallower. Like Hal
they are not our of focus lol
@@WalkWithMeTim I'm going to watch it again as I think I've been lead to the solution. Also your video on Blackpool which literally just stopped.
I've been to crete for the first time in 2013 and most recently last year ( August) '21 to hersonissos and we just booked our holiday for August '22 ....and yes we chose crete again😁 same location..same hotel and the location is more or less central to go explore crete we've been to iraklio, matala, agio nikolao , rethmino , agia pelagia etc....so basically another 6,5 months to go and I'm there again for a 2 week holiday 😀
Lucky you I love this place
@@WalkWithMeTim yeah so do we, crete and Mallorca ( spain) are my favorite destinations , i know we probably should be trying new things and destinations but we just couldn't resist going back to that small piece of paradise known as crete 😊
If you are there now, there is a donkey rescue run by a Greek man and his New Zealand wife. Then there is a lovely little cat and dog rescue at Iereptera, called Jutta. Run by a headmaster! You can play with kittens. Bring some tins of food. Donkey rescue at other end of Crete. Buy a 10 kg bag of juicing carrots to feed the donkeys. So sweet to hang out with the donkeys.
@@georgielancaster1356 going home today we fly out in a few hours
Those are bougainvillea . . . a tropical vine that comes in almost every shade of red, pink, white, and gold . . . popular in Hawaii, the Caribbean, as well as Southern California.
Bougainvillea isn't a vine
Hi tim great video. Where on the island did you stay?. I'm looking to travel the island similarly and would like to be central on the north coast too. Thanks
yes we stayed in the middle of the island which was still a 2hr drive to either side lol
Another fantastic video of Crete Island Tour 2021, Greece What's it like?!.💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Thanks! 😃
Never saw the river I’m sorry I missed it
Nxt time
Hi Tim...I'm a Tim too...a really informative vlog, well done for the swim with camera, we went to Zante 3 years ago..absolutely 😀 loved it..stayed in Gloria maris hotel..was so relaxing and picturesque. We was spoiled...
But thinking?..if we can't go home to the Philippines in 2022, we are looking at Greece again..crete caught my eye for waterparks..the wife tried one in zante, and enjoyed it..so thought we would look for parks in Greece?
And crete looks pretty too..we are not clubbers, and enjoy fun in the water and a good meal and friendly atmosphere..
And of course the culture of Greece.
Thank you for sharing with us..I'm vlogging too..and hope to vlog in the Philippines if we ever get to go home..hopefully in the next 2 yrs.
Early retirement 😴..
Will subscribe to Yr channel buddy..mines Timmy Time....
Take care my friend..
Regards Tim and Jn
LOVE Zante, thanks for watching and subscribing
