Travel to Crete

Experience a trip to Crete. This large Greek island is located in the south of Greece and are very popular among turists due to it’s warm clima, interesting towns and beautiful mountains.

All shots are made during a one week trip to Crete in the beginning of april 2018. I had the pleasure to experience the spectacular old part of the city Chania with a beautiful harbour, to hike in the interesting Lissos gorge, visit the town Hora Sfakion at the sea and to see the amazing Samaria Gorge from a mountain top.

Thank you for watching. Don’t hesitate to like, comment, share and of course subscribe to my channel.
