If you are already in chania, then you must visit limni kurna, balos beach, chania old town, faraghi samarias 16kms long, sfakia, paleohora, elafonisos.
I like that you film street performers and even use them as a sound track sometimes as you move on (Dublin you did that). Another cool touch, especially ending a video with this, that does not go unnoticed .... and I like that you often give them a little something, too. Keep on truckin'.
Without giving too much away, away from this touristy area are much more interesting hang-outs and a great student-vibe. Head towards the fortress down Salominos
Some restaurants being more crowded is far from random. Some are simply better/nice than others, and the locals know whats up. They'll avoid the ones with a bad reputation and make sure to stick to the places that are known to be good.
Hello Gabriel!You must also visit south rethimno: spili village, preveli's monastery and the awesome preveli's beach, plakias beach, big and small triopetra beach and if you want to meet the local culture, just visit a small village like aktounta or vatos during the weekend or earlier and ask where is the "kazani" (the place where they are producing raki, the original alcool of crete). Drink some raki and eat with the local people: gamopilafo, omanites and kohlious buburistus. Taste the real life of Crete! Have a nice stay!
Nice! Stay more time next time you come to Crete and make sure you have your international driving licence. Crete is far too big to travel by bus all the time you will miss great places on the way like Festos and Gortyn
Didn't see tourists that much, 95% in the bars and streets is Cretan in the video, the places at the boulevard are gatherings for the youth of Rethymno.
I noticed that the restaurants that were empty or near empty were too brightly lit. The ones that were full and busy were dimly lit. Looks like a fun area.
Well, i am from crete and the places that were empty were restaurants (probably was to late to have dinner). The full places were "cafeterias" (we called them like this) and they serve only coffees (Greeks drink coffe also after 21:00) and some drinks. All these people were actually locals, not tourists. Usually tourists go to their hotels at this time, so after 21:00 you see only Greeks around and few tourists. The same happens in my city Chania.
On 28th october you will also watch the parade for a national feast on every city of Greece. Try to visit the iland of Gavdos also, but its better to be well informed first on the boat trips, cause its somehow complicated. Another one thing: you can meet a lot of english and german people on the islanf of Crete, even if you go to very small villages as Aktounta and Agalianou (south rethimno), cause they live there permanently. In any case: try to taste the real life of Crete and have fun!
It's not turisty. Rethymno got about 10000 university students living there, which creates those youth vibes on the waterftont during the after tourist season time. In 1.34 fraoules is a legendary cafe where the first year students gather,
You did great choice Gabriel, I also drink my beer at the Irish club! Downtown is too loud to enjoy a nice cold beer. By the way the guy you said yasas, has the best food in the town!
Hi Gabriel!!Awesome content! Great channel . I noticed your editing is getting better and better and updating to the Gopro6 really helped the stabilization! I got a question: Which editing software do you use? Also, do just upload your videos straight or is there any special setting on the software for TH-cam. Thanks. happy travels Junior
Gabriel should go to many places in Crete, and way too many places in Greece. But that's not going to happen. Still I loved all his video's and short moments that he shared of a part of the islands he did show!
This is the modern and noisy part of the city. It also has a medieval port and old town where no cars are aloud, very picturesque and romantic, and an old fortress.
Not really enjoying these Crete videos...since Symi....with Victor....the vibe and energy has gone.....think it's time you moved on to a new place......
I love that, night time, walk around, people-bustling experience!!
Thanks for taking me to Greece Gabe!
Awesome vibe in this little town, oh and Duvel rocks! I can tell you really like Crete by the way you're describing things.
If you are already in chania, then you must visit limni kurna, balos beach, chania old town, faraghi samarias 16kms long, sfakia, paleohora, elafonisos.
A true traveler with damm great spirit . Never tried .
Yeah I could spend a week here for sure! The city looks beautiful at night and you captured it so well!
I like that you film street performers and even use them as a sound track sometimes as you move on (Dublin you did that). Another cool touch, especially ending a video with this, that does not go unnoticed .... and I like that you often give them a little something, too. Keep on truckin'.
The town where i did my BA. Nostalgia..

Hmm, interesting observation, maybe there's something to that.

Hey Gabe,
New merch idea saying: Hey there, how's it going?
GREAT THANK YOU

Love the videos!
Cool, thanks.
Wow...best👍
I grew up in Rethymno my whole life so if you guys have any questions please let me know. I live in NY now though.
You did great choice Gabriel, I also drink my beer at the Irish club! Downtown is too loud to enjoy a nice cold beer. By the way the guy you said yasas, has the best food in the town!
Great, thanks for the info, next time I'll have to try his restaurant.
Reminds me a little of Miami. I bit to touristy for my liking
You past kalymnos on your way to Kos that day they had in kalymnos the rock climbers convention and the yearly honey celebration
You travel to really cool places, good on you! 👌
happening town thaNK YOU
Your the tops. Thanks cheers
Looks like a pretty nice place. Never heard of it. Thanks for the video
Some restaurants are busy, because they are occupied by the Greeks at cool bars, and the others are for tourists. I thought you were a traveller
The GoPro did really well in low light, I think!! 👍🏼✌🏼
Nice vlog my brother

You can hire a car for 20-30€ /day and visit the best of south rethimno.then you book a room for 20-30€ near spili plakias aktounta triopetra
Can anyone tell me the song playing at 6:18?
Go hiking at the Samaria gorge. You won't regret it ;)
Samaria is my fav too
Africa by Toto? Instant like
Looks good!
When you say the price for your hotel, you mind 45 USD per night or 14,5 USD per night, I have trouble to understand this.
45 USD per night.
This looks like hell to me ,where do locals go.Never eat anywhere with pictures of food
Are the night life good in the middle of june?
I haven't been there in June, but I'm sure it would be very busy at that time.
Ah yes, the pre-corona times. God I wish I get to see this scenery again soon. That's my hometown by the way
You say Giassas like a Greek !!
Cool, that's good to hear.
Kalimera means goodmorning in greek
yeah i noticed that too. lol
Duvel in a Kilkenny glass???? Sacralage! ;)
So what exactly do you do again outside of this that allows you to travel non stop?
Here's a video about that: th-cam.com/video/h18kwQDdK64/w-d-xo.html
Gabriel you should go to Kiato,Korinthias
George Σιγα μη παει και στο χωριο μου τη Καστανια Κορινθιας φιλε.
Gabriel should go to many places in Crete, and way too many places in Greece. But that's not going to happen. Still I loved all his video's and short moments that he shared of a part of the islands he did show!
you should go to Malia, Crete in July... No I'm kidding, you really shouldn't lol
Amazing night shooting! You tasting every kind of beer but no KAISER! ha ha
Thanks George. Yeah I still haven't seen it yet. I'll keep my eyes open.
Cool
Did you tip the violin guy?
Yes.
1st thanks Gabe!
Good job, got it.
Late October moon
niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Thank you for the video Gabriel, but this town is far too touristy for my liking, and too crowded and noisy.
This is the modern and noisy part of the city. It also has a medieval port and old town where no cars are aloud, very picturesque and romantic, and an old fortress.
The women are very nice.
Not first
4th!
Jen C. Hey, you tried! :)
Not really enjoying these Crete videos...since Symi....with Victor....the vibe and energy has gone.....think it's time you moved on to a new place......
Catching a flight at 6am tomorrow morning! One more video from Greece and then on to a new country.
