We went there last September for 3 weeks. You need a minimum of 3 weeks. We stayed in a village called Sternes. A 20 minite drive from Chania. It was amazing. We rented an airbnb house overlooking the mounhtains and sea. It was stunning and away from the tourists. When we wanted we'd go to the town in Chania. On the second part of our trip we stayed in the south, in Frangocastelo. It was a 15 minute drive from Sfakia. I recommed not staying in the touristy areas. They are expensive and packed with people and noise. This was the best trip ever. Particularly we loved the south of Crete.

@bettinaho77 9 месяцев назад

I wasn't considering two places in Crete. We are staying for 2 weeks at a villa 10 mins fr Rethimno, Greece. Is that too long? Traveling with my 2 year old daughter and husband which is why we don't want to move around too much. After Crete we will spend 2 weeks in Naxos, Paros or Santorini (haven't decided yet). Thanks in advance for your input!

@brothersman524 2 года назад

Crete and Santorini are two of my favourite Greek Islands that I have visited - also loved Corfu and Rhodes. But Crete has a lot of things to do because the island itself is big

@bronzefanpage8256 Год назад

Near Agios Nikolaos I’d recommend Faedra Beach, its a cozy, clean hotel with a fair price. I was there, the food was so good we ate there every day, and they cleaned our rooms every day too! The beach is across the road, and its a nice walk to Agios Nikolaos (15-20min on foot). We walked, we liked it 😊. You can also rent a car like us and go driving in the mountains, we found a really nice taverna and other spots, but in general, the people on the island are SO nice, everything is VERY clean, and I loved it! Hope you love it too, good luck! ❤

I like that you're pronouncing Chaniá Χανιά with the accent on the last 'a'. There are a few English-speaking travellers making blogs about Greece and most of them can't read Greek or pronounce the names half-way correctly. Kudos. All the best from Switzerland, Rob

@SantoriniDaveHQ 2 года назад

Thanks Rob. We try our best but undoubtedly make some mistakes. Thanks for the message.

@Baileywandering Год назад

It's actually called "emphasis" not accent. Anyone can make a blog about another country and not speak the language. I appreciate a outsiders view of the travel process into these countries. Many people pronounce cities and places in the U.S. wrong, It's because English isn't their 1st language either.

I have not been to Crete since 2004. At that time I was vacationing in Rethymnon and I visited most of the island thanks to rent a car. I have to visit that beautiful island again. A lot of time has passed, probably a lot of things have changed in the meantime. Wonderful people live there.

@touriel8943 10 месяцев назад

When I lived in Crete in the 70's to early 80's you could just get a flight and stay where you wanted. I returned in 88 and you had to book into a hotel before your flight and had to stay there. I'd check how it stands now. Travelling as you feel led is so much better.

@SantoriniDaveHQ 10 месяцев назад

From the 90s (when I first started visiting) until present you do not need to pre-arrange hotels or stay in any specific spot. You're free to roam around any area of Crete - or all of Greece for that matter.

@Andy-sp6vq Год назад

Just a note Dave, perhaps when you show the various hotels, you could show the price range for each one? I know they do vary dependent on season, but it would be very helpful. Great informative videos though, keep them coming!!

@SantoriniDaveHQ Год назад

Yeah, it's a great idea Andy and would be helpful for sure. Prices do change and vary by season and also vary dramatically within a hotel by room type. It's a tough element to do right. But thanks for the suggestion. I'll definitely give it some thought.

@mssalsacol Год назад

There are several pages like booking, TripAdvisor, hotels, trivago, Expedia to name a few where you can look at prices. Not everything can be given. Do some work!

@tyxeri48 10 месяцев назад

To explore Crete properly you need three weeks at least, and a rented car. Otherwise, prepare carefully. Avoid the touristy party places like Chersonisos Heraklio. Stay at two different places on the island, to make the journeys easier. Tour or hike around mountainous Crete. Don't miss the southern part of the island and the magnificent gorges.

You must be kidding. I've just returned from Crete - water was great. Temperature of the air remained at ~28-32C and water was at 22C. It's not cold - perfect temperature for the sea water to still be refreshing when you get there from the beach. You don't feel any cold once you enter it. Also it was still the end of may / early june. It becomes much warmer near august and september....

@Luggruff 2 месяца назад

Good production, although, the pronunciation of places cannot even be excused by you being an English speaker, this coming from a Norwegian. All you had to do was read the words for it to be excused, but you even missed entire letters of the names, and in some, you added letters that were not even there. Secondly, the recommendations of hotels etc. is ludicrous, unless this is specifically a channel targeting wealthy people. Then again, the name of the channel is "Santorini.." which explains why you might think the prices of these accommodations were excusable. Insane. By the footage also, it seems you were very lucky on your visits, as you mentioned the wind factor absolutely zero times. How one can mention Falassarna, or the north eastern places like Agios Nikolaos, Elounda and Vai, and not once mention the CRAZY amounts of wind, is mind baffling. For Agios Nikolaos and Elounda, good luck eating outside without having all your stuff blown off the table (for the majority of days), and for Falassarna and Vai, most days you will EAT SAND. Whenever you don't, is an exception. These places are also robbing people when it comes to pricing of sun chairs, umbrellas and food. Lived in Crete a bit over five years now, and I cannot believe the presentation of these places.

@SantoriniDaveHQ 2 месяца назад

Haha. Yeah, we try our best with pronunciations but don't get them all. And yes, you're totally right that we focus on higher-end places to stay. Our website has pages dedicated to cheaper hotels but the videos highlight the really special places and these tend to be four and five-star hotels. Thanks for the feedback. Cheers.
