Thank you so much for your lovely message 🌞❤️🌞

Thank you for your message, how wonderful 🥰 I would have loved to have seen it 25 years ago. 🌞

Thank you 🥰 Always! we always start our walks as the sun comes up and finish before midday if not earlier! That way we still get to do beautiful walks during the summer, enjoy them without the sun, see everywhere empty and beautiful then get to relax for the rest of day 🥰

This part was lovely, start wasn’t so good as it was on the road but the middle and end gorgeous. More parts to come from our adventure Rethymo to Chania 😍

I like the Stavros area, some great walks and lovely accommodation. We really do like it remote 🌞

It was absolutely gorgeous everywhere 🌞

Thank you so much, means a lot reading your message 🥰 I was always here just had a little time out between winter and summer, no fully recharged 🤣 We really want to get back over to the West and I am already thinking of ways we can do it! We are currently in Kalyves, just walked from Rethymo to Georgioupoli bus to Kalyves it was great but feet sore now haha. Aiming for Souda/Chania by Saturday, would love to continue round the coast but have to head home so another time! If we come your way, will let you know. Where are you based? Happy Thursday 🌞

@@JustBirnieAdventures how funny is that, we (my wife and I) actually were in Kalyves yesterday and also today , we know the area well as we used to live in the Apokoronas, whe moved towards a little village near Kissamos a few years ago, it's really nice here, being close to the entire west coast, Chania and Paleochora as well, my wife really likes Agia Galini, which is a bit far from us though, would be great to catch up whenever you're nearby, have a good weekend and love the little vlogs, Charlie's place looks a real hidden gem, we love those kind of old-fashioned places where time stood still with honest people and prices, luckily there are still a few of those hidden gems out there, have a great weekend and hope the nights get a bit cooler lol😎☀🌴

@@markt5703 oh my goodness, I can’t believe that, we literally just missed each other! Hope one day our paths cross, until then happy summer 🌞

Thank you, it really was a super walk 🌞

It really is wonderful 🌞

Thank you so much for your message. Depends where you are coming from but there are smaller roads pretty much linking all of Galini so you don’t need to walk on the main road. When you get to the Bridge on the main road near the petrol station you just cross over the main road and you follow the dirt track. it’s very easy and as an example at a reasonable pace it took my friends 15min from Plazza Greco Hotel only using small roads and then only crossing the main road by the bridge. Have a wonderful week 🌞

@@JustBirnieAdventures Didnt Charlies place used to be in the village ? Visiting the Lamb restaraunt near Matala when we arrive in Galini next week , thanks

Thank you so much for your lovely message. Where ever you are in Agia Galini you can find a small road and walk to the large bridge on the main road and then just cross over, a nicer walk than going on the main road. A friend of mine was staying at Plazzo Greco Hotel and it took her 15 min but she is a fast walker! Have a great time if you go 🌞

@@cossied01 Yes, the restaurant was in the village many years ago.

Thank you, it really was wonderful and you know I just LOVE Crete 🌞

Oh that’s wonderful, if you are heading to Agia Galini, hope to meet and see you. Not long now and you get to go to all the hidden gems too 🌞

@@JustBirnieAdventures Would be lovely to meet up for a coffee or beer. If I am in Agia Galini I'll drop you a note on your Cretalife website.

@@dionysus101 sounds great to me! 🤞🌞🤞

Vielen Dank

I couldn’t agree more but it is even better when the sun is out 🤣🌞🤣

We hitched back up. It was a risk as maybe no one else down there but luckily there was, if not we would have walked back up. Another option is to organize a pick up with the local taverna but that cost 50€

@@JustBirnieAdventures 👍 thanks for your answer! Good luck, wish you great adventures this summer ☀️

We loved it here, great value for money, very relaxing, amazing views, the restaurant you can op for all inclusive which we did because there is else nothing around and we didn’t want to explore the point was to enjoy Kalypso. The only thing some of the higher rooms didn’t have good Wi-Fi and I needed it for work so moved to a lower room, it was such a shame because the higher room had an amazing balcony and view however that was a few years ago so maybe it is all fixed now. We enjoyed the pool and swimming off the rocks, the food breakfast, lunch and dinner was excellent with lots of choices. When we were there we didn’t go to the bar in the evenings but it always seemed pretty quiet when we walked past at night, so if you are looking for lively nightlife then this isn’t for you but again maybe it has changed now. The hotel also offer some good day trips, a taxi is easy to arrange to take you to Plakias or nearby, you can hire a car and self explore or walk, some brilliant walks straight from the hotel. I do have a website if you would like to take a look it has a map with all my videos and lots around that area cretalife.com/ Hope this helps and here if you need to know anything else. have a great holiday wherever you decide to go! 🌞

Thank you for your lovely message. You have lots in and around Heraklion, the most famous being Knossos Palace - maps.app.goo.gl/ArkVtUr19o6VmbxU6?g_st=ic As far as boat trips I am sure the hotel will have excursion options but I am not so sure on where and what they will offer. From Heraklion port I believe you can organise boat trips and there is an island you can see called Dia which again I believe you can organize trips too. We were here too early in the season and nothing was properly open but I am sure there will be excursion shops offering different day trips or you can hire a car and drive along the coast in either direction. Hope this helps and let know if I can anymore. If you wanted too, I have a website and a map with all my videos on it, not so many around Heraklion but I do have places nearby you could check out. cretalife.com/ Have a wonderful holiday 🌞

Thankyou for the tips and advice , it's a long while until I go but cannot wait

Hello so sorry for my late reply, The villas around the area looked lovely the only thing I would say is the immediate beaches in the area were not my favourite BUT Rethymo has an extremely Long Beach and so many places we loved. Along the coast you can organize water sports for sure and there is a hotel 15min drive from this villas which has water sports and I believe anyone can pay and do. For a car was a must, have us more freedom to explore the coastal line and the roads to walk are not that good, typical Greek with no walking path and cars driving fast. We are daytime people so we were out all day, found lovely places for lunch and then relaxed at the villas round the pool and on the roof top in the evenings and made snacks. I do have a website if you would like to look, it has all of my videos on a map and lots around this area cretalife.com/ I really hope this helps and please let me know if you need to know anything else. Have a fabulous holiday wherever you go 🌞

@@JustBirnieAdventures Thanks so much for your helpful reply!

It’s a changing time and many tourist places offer refreshments if some kind. I would love to have see so many places without the coffee shops etc but now they are there, I mention them so tourists can support and know they can buy refreshments without bringing their own. I know many people who have visited Phaistos Palace before and now go to enjoy a coffee or something being in the wonderful surroundings of the palace and beautiful views 🥰🌞🥰

@@JustBirnieAdventures HMM... INSTEAD OF GIVING US MORE INFORMATIONS ABOUT THE ANCIENT " MINOANS"!? ANYWAY IT IS YOUR CHOICE TO PROMOTE TODAY' S FACILITIES NEAR BY SUCH BEAUTIFUL ANCIENT LOCATION... PEOPLE MEMORY IS VERY SHORT LIVED... BUT HEY, WHEN THE RETURN HOMEL THEY WOULD SAY: " I WAS THERE"! WHERE!? ...WHO CARES....🤣

@@viorelpiscanu9425 haha very true. Next time more info and not on the coffee shop 🤣 thank you son much for your feedback, I always really appreciate it 🥰

@@JustBirnieAdventures " SON" !? HARDLY... 💐 FROM BUCHAREST ROMANIA 🍀☀️

Hello, of course I will. Next time I am in Galini, I will come and say hello 🌞

Next time will pop by for coffee 🤣

Thank you so much, look forward to having a beer or two with you 🌞😘🌞

Thank you so much 🌞

Thank you so much 🌞

Thank you so much 🌞

Thank you 🌞❤️🌞

It is delicious and well worth a visit.

Exactly! We hate crowded places and always make sure we get to places really early in the morning. This really was something special without people.

Wir hoffen, Galini fast jede Woche besuchen zu können, da wir 20 Minuten entfernt wohnen. Aber das ist nie geplant! Darf ich fragen, warum Sie das wissen möchten? 🌞🌞🌞

@@JustBirnieAdventures Ich bin bereits 6 mal infolge in Galini gewesen und haben mich total in dieses kleine Dorf verliebt.Derzeit suche ich dort ein kleines Haus oder eine Wohnung.Bin immer im Hotel Minos bei Marilena und Janis gewesen.2 ganz tolle und liebe Menschen.
