“Crete's mystery is extremely deep. Whoever sets foot on this island senses a mysterious force branching warmly and beneficently through his veins, sensing his soul begin to grow,” wrote Nikos Kazantzakis, Crete’s most celebrated author
Rethymno is one of the most beautiful places in Greece. Crete, in general!
Indeed, it's a beautiful place!
My son lives there. A great town even in winter.
Just loving your enjoyment of Greece. Rethymno is a fabulous place, I like the way Crete is very authentic and you are made to feel very welcome..looking forward to seeing you in Chania.
What's dream for us, is routine for you!!
Damn...you're lucky 😉
Happy traveling Gabe...we love you!
and thanks to You Tube had you shown equal American enterprise you too would have had a career where you travel and get paid (and laid)
Thanks for the tip in the end of the video with Irish Bar Antika. Great place visited it today👍
I'm loving the Greek island video series, not ready for them to end!
Me too. Europeans sure do know how to build livable and walkable cities and towns. America is all urban sprawl and centered around the automobile. Our cities are depressing.
Great! For your next trip in Greece, consider visiting the north and regions like Thrace or Epirus. They are not touristic and you can find the best food and magnificent mountainous landscape ;-)
Been here ....We were in Crete the end of Sept. 2018.......Crete is such a beautiful island and there is so much to see......You need minimum 1 week to visit the whole island.... Food is very tasty, people are friendly and a busy island even though we visited in late Sept. 2018........In the summer time it's probably absolutely packed..I would love to go back and revisit ..Excellent videography !!!!! ❤💛💜💚💙
Chania and Rethimnon are my favourite places on Crete. I love Crete , nice video, very enjoyable .thank you.👍❤️🇬🇷👁🙀🐟🐠🐬🐚🚍✈️🚆🧿🧿🧿
9:12
You're welcome
Thanks cap
Literally the only reason I watched 👍
Greece is so beeaaauutttiiffuulllllll as always....
Amazing video.. Its so awesome to see the world through your vloggs. Thank you for taking us with you!
Thank you Gabriel!! Another beautiful video of Greece! Love the allies all the shops! Stay safe 😊❤
Great Video. Thank you for posting. This was informative and helpful.
I had to laugh at the Duvel being consumed from a Kilkenny glass while on Crete! Great video Gabe!
I love Greece everything is nice amazing 🌸🌹🌺💐
your fans love your tour of crete. great music also. perfect commentary. crete now is on my wish list to visit.thank you
Thanx for the really nice tour. Greece is simply awesome!
Wow !what a cool bar , Uber cool and a beautiful harbor, bewitching town . I loved it thank you for sharing the video ( you missed the turn around & look back shot of the harbor at the end of the Walk down the restaurants)
I used to work and live there for 3 months miss it so much . I recognize it all
This brings back so many memories. I stayed in old town Chania for a month on the Venetian port. Awesome video!
love the video , its like really being there when watching full screen. Real pavement restaurant heaven, great way to spend an evening enjoying a med. meal Thanks for that for those who will never be able to get there plus the many other destinations. David , Durban South- Africa.
Great vlog , Greece seems so tranquil and so deep in history i can see why you chose Greece as your hiatus.
Love matala and Rethymno. Nice vid thankz greetings from holland
Such a nice video thanks Gab ,made me want to pack my suitcase and goooooooooo ,lovely
Wonderful. I WISH I could do that, gracias for sharing
Your Greek videos have been great. Nice to finish them off with a great Belgian Duvel beer.
*Great video. Thank you very much!*
Go Chania, it's amazing!!
As a long time viewer I know never to make the mistake of stopping your videos when you say goodbye. There's always a little extra goodness at the end! Thanks for the inspiration, Gabe.
Cool.
OMG!!! I love it! This area remains me so much of "El Casco Viejo" (old downtown in Panama City, Panama). Getting a bit home sick😍
Looks like an Awesome place Gabriel... Was in Heraklion for 3 days in 2017, should have gone over to Rethymno... Safe Travels.. Greg..
Beautiful!
I'm not a mind reader, but at 3:02, I think I know what Gabe was thinking.........LOL!!!
VaVa varooom!
I would be too, she looks latina
Fantastic video. Really informative and I like your style. Looking forward to visiting this town in a few months so your info is much appreciated. Anyone that shows me menus and prices is a friend of mine 😂👍
Enjoy Xania, my old home. I think you'd like Samaria gorge as a tour. Great video as usual. Take care Gabs and enjoy x
Was there more than 20 years ago. Don't remember such a large 'old town'. I think they've build it out and just made it look old but maybe I'm wrong. In any case very nice place, then and now. Very nice food and some very beautiful girls.
Gabriel, your adventurousness is enviable. I envy it. I love how flexible you are.
TO-TALLY, riiiiight?
I love your vids gabrius
Those prices you quoted are Manhattan Greek restaurant prices. Chania & Rethimno are interesting, but the real coastal beauty of Crete is East of Iraklion - starting with Elounda Bay and past.
That thumbnail tho
Nice Docu i was living there for nine yaehrs very nice Pleace :)Now only for holidays :))
We are planning to go Summer 2020, so your video is much appreciated. Many Thanks
Have a great trip, Crete is amazing. I was there again just a week ago: th-cam.com/video/ONHY79jXeG8/w-d-xo.html
Great review thanks
You can always find someone in an Irish pub
Wow!!...best👍
Looks like a nice place.
what an awesome place and thank-you for posting the video !! would you add Crete to one of your favourite islands. Would love to travel to Greece it is on the bucket list but would need a well planned out itinerary ....
Hopefully next year!
My friend is from this town, we live in Yorba Linda, California. I’m not from here but it is very nice and expensive but it is very close to Disneyland
You will miss Crete a lot !!
True. There's so much more to see the next time.
I hope Crete will welcome you back soon !!
Excited to see where you go next. My guess is Lebanon
Stay at least a few more days in Crete Gabriel to explore Chania, hike the Samaria Gorge and visit the beaches of Balos and Elafonisi...
Samaria Gorge is defenitely a great experience! 13 km hiking 👌
Those places all look really amazing but will have to wait until the next time. I'm flying to a new country in two days. It's time to say goodbye to Greece, for now.
Gabriel Traveler
You still have time to hike the White Mountains with the Samaria Gorge. You can then take a cheap flight with Ryanair from Chania.
Come next time to Crete and stay a couple of months in my condo (not sure if you’re able to do that). You will enjoy the incredible way of life in Crete. Most of my relatives reach the age of 100!
It's pouring down rain here so not good for hiking or beaches. Flight tomorrow to my next country. Just one more video from Greece.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos You talk about a lot of countries....but you have never done FRANCE properly.....and as for the
UK .....it's a non event....check out YORK in North England....there's a hell of a lot more to see than in those places you saw in Crete!!!!
Hey, I was wondering if you would ever end up in my city (rethymno).
You should stay a bit longer.
Love your videos.
Nice city!
The old (Venecian) port of Chania is the most beautiful port in Greece, in my opinion. Go there and tell us what you think.
I agree, amazing. I just filmed Chania today.
Very beautiful bay & stunning sunset !
Looking nice in this T- shirt, you should often try this...
Dear sir best of luck for new country
Looks like a great place to wander around and explore for a few days. Why don't you go down those cool looking small alleys and film!? Looks like the most interesting streets of the place!
That Female In The Thumbnail Made My Head Spin 🤓👍
The Woman At 3:05 Was Definitely Digging On The Homie Gabriel!
😄👍
Thats a waitress.
What A Place. Thanks for the video that you provided and knowledge that you have bestowed upon us. I hope to add Crete to my travel collection here in the future. What would you say is the best time of year to travel if you plan on going in the water?
Travel More! Worry Less!
Sometime between May and Oct. would be the best to plan for the best weather and water conditions. Love you tag line Travel More! Worry Less!. I'm going to have to steal that.
I agree...love your channel.
May to September are the best months. October is still okay but it can start getting cool, especially later in the month like now. Summer is the best, although July and August are the busiest months and also the most expensive. I'd say May, June and September are the best months for Greece.
Gabriel Traveler thank you sir. Crete will for sure be on my travel list soon.
May is not Too hot or cold😊 lemon trees every Where w big lemons
very pretty place,greetings argentina
Έχετε μία υπέροχη πόλη!!
Actually the Promenade of Rethymno alone is impressive enough, kilometers of fine sand and the meditative sound of the mediterranian sea is relaxing enough to feel in vacations by just watching and listening
Kalymnos is a dodecanese island that's yes, famous for sponges and rock climbing. It's right between Patmos and Kos, you would've gone past it.
love the music bro ...
Greace is Nice good food and Nice water
very beautiful 😍👍
I swear, I think there’s at least one Chinese restaurant and one Irish pub in nearly every city on the planet. Nearly, lol. Certainly true of Europe, the US, and Canada, and the bigger cities in China (well, obvs. there’s Chinese food in China. I meant an Irish pub) and Japan. I have to guess on the rest of the world as those places are the only ones I’ve been to! Smoothies, too, right? 😆👍🏼✌🏼
We skipped Rethymno when we were in Crete due to time+hearing not so great things. In retrospect, I think we might have made a mistake... It looks wonderful!
you made a BIG mistake!!
@The Go To Family
Luv the cute streets to walk around ! Is there any beaches there ? again another great video.
julieann522 Yes, there is a very nice sandy beach in Rethymnon of 16 miles.
Watch this video:

❤❤❤ .... Love ❤
Did 3/4 th of the biggest north city’s of Crete. I didn’t make it to Chania.
Just purchased your book 👍
Thanks, enjoy the reading.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos thanks man, it'll arrive Friday.
The places you have been to and are gong are all registering record numbers of tourists and are at a breaking point: alternative places would be Skyros, Koufonissia, Milos and Folegrandos. Back home try visiting Nebraska state which is not for everyone!
Milos is amazing, I visited there nine years ago. I've heard about some of those other islands, maybe next time, so many to explore. I've been to some less popular islands on this trip such as Anafi, Samos and Karpathos. Here's my full playlist of Greece videos: th-cam.com/video/7hvNsBKgn6I/w-d-xo.html
do you have video for places you been but would never go back?
Very nice g
When are you going back to the Netherlands?
I'm here!!!! ❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏2020
Cool, enjoy it.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Thank you!!!! 🙏😛😛😛
You should visit the south island of New Zealand 😊
ahahaha the way non natives of Greece pronounce the names of Greek towns is hilarious😂 but at least they are trying! (I am Cretan bc my parents are Cretan but I’m born in America lol)
plz go to Chania old central market , they sell everything , cloths , cheese, deli, . Pack a picnic , Watch the fabulous sunset by the bay, Such special bay ! They said chania has good food
Will you visit KNOSSOS Temple ? The origin of the Menoian civilization. My 1st visit to santorini years ago, I even took the Menoian Ship ( different tickets based on budget ) from west coast Greek petra to venice , love the 12 hrs journey passing many ports
I visited Knossos, here's the video: th-cam.com/video/QZLwLOO4DsA/w-d-xo.html Next video will be from Chania.
Hey Gabriel I just got my first GoPro, your channel is a big influence on me and I love how you capture the sights. I was just wondering if you hold your camera in your hand or use a gimbal or anything like that? Maybe a video on GoPro tips would be a cool idea! I can't wait to get out there and have a play.
Keep up with good work mate.
Hi Sean, thanks a lot, appreciate it. I just hold the camera in my hand. I don't have a gimbal or selfie stick or anything like that. Here's another video in which I talk about the gear I use to create the videos: th-cam.com/video/OEo1Y4AUSWk/w-d-xo.html
@@GabrielTravelerVideos
Thanks mate much appreciated!
Hey Gabriel, just in update on this comment, I just watched the video you linked me too, and if you can make videos with that kind of on the fly setup, then I recon I can have a go too.
Cheers to ya mate just goes to show you don't need the best in order to be great at what you do.
Heyyy Gabby,
Can we swim in Crete beaches in month of late April ? Which place of the island would you recommend to stay or make your base for a 4-5 day trip ?? TIA 🙏🏻
Yes, late April is a great time to go to Crete. It will be nice and warm. There are so many places to visit on Crete, so I would suggest buying a guidebook and reading about the different places. Here are some more of my videos of Crete for some ideas:
th-cam.com/video/QZLwLOO4DsA/w-d-xo.html
such a nice video! Do you use any stabilizer? physical or software? What is your camera?
Thanks this is filmed with a Gopro Hero 7 Black, no stabilizer or selfie stick.
Do you have to pay for single rides every time you get on the bus or do they have a weekly pass or multiple ride pass for the entire island? If not I imagine that all these bus rides might add up quickly.
Yeah I paid for each ride separately, it was about 6-8 euros for each bus ride of an hour or so. Not sure if there's a bus pass that will bring the cost down.
Gabriel what was that shop with the war relics on display at the front??
I'm not sure, I don't remember the name of it.
I wonder if their electricity is distributed at a different Hz. I noticed your camera picks up the flicker
You got it, the lights in Europe are at 50 Hz whereas the camera is shooting at 60fps, so it's out of sync with the lighting.
What kind of camera do you use to video?
th-cam.com/video/Gk98im-Ai-c/w-d-xo.html
Is it easy to take bus from Rethymno to Chania with luggages?
Yes.
Are you going to go to Ikaria ? or have you already been there ? Its amazing just got back from there
Not this trip. I saw it from a ferry that stopped there on my way to Samos and it looked interesting. Maybe another time when I'm in Greece.
keep up the cool videos !!!
Gabe, GoPro should sponsor you for Hero7. You've been using their product for long time.
The Traveler can feel a bit lonely among all these wonders lol 9:12
They are big. Lol
You sure know the power of sexy thumbnails..
Hey Gab, You captured someone I met at the hostel at 7:48! - The dude in white shirt. :D He's an exchange student in Rethymno. What a small world! P.S. How did you like Rethymno? I thought it was really pretty in the evening.
Wow, very cool. Rethymno was really nice, the old town is amazing. But I like Chania, where I am now, even more.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos didn't go there. Looking forward to the video! :) Cheers mate.
Here before 1k views
seems odd to me that you spend all this time wandering streets full of people and we never hear voices saying "Hey Gabriel! Gabriel Morris!!-love your channel!!" Sure it would be rude behavior but people are people and you are very recognizable. Do you edit all of that out?
People recognize me every few weeks or so, not every day. Since I've been on this trip the for the past two months it's only happened a few times. People have recognized me while I was filming though, like in this video: th-cam.com/video/BQKA_Xc6ECs/w-d-xo.html
Hey gave, how much have you spent on this greek islands trip?
Hi, good question but I really don't know since I don't keep track.
Gabriel Traveler You've been there for a month. Let say around 3000 USD (100 per day), is that too little. Without plane tickets ofc.
Yes, $100 per day is a good budget for Greece.
Like from Curacao 👍
Thanks. :) I'd love to visit there.
it would be interesting to know what property goes for in this town
I was just checking that out at some site called "spitigatos" 😂
thanks, I just looked at it, !!! really appreciate it
@@alexandrastratanphotographer You are welcome! Hope you can find a nice place for you! 😉
