72 Hours on Crete, Greece: Our Favorite Beaches 🇬🇷

Crete, Greece, is the largest of the Greek islands and is known for having the best of both worlds- mountains and beaches! Pink and white sand coastlines are surrounded by majestic mountains of all colors. Over the span of 72 hours, we visited three different beaches from Chania while sharing our honest thoughts about each spot. Join us as we beach-hop around the island of Crete and admire the dazzling blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea! 🇬🇷

Loving the Greece videos!

[@shirleyhiggins3395]

The pink sand is actually crushed shells. Next travel across the island and see all the different coasts and mountain areas. We have lived in Crete for 12 years and every year we travel around the island to visit different areas, we live in the East of Crete which is less touristy ❤️

[@MarlonAndGabriela]

What a whirlwind travel from Meteora. Glad you made it to Crete. With numerous islands to visit, you picked a great one!

[@redjoson9269]

one of my dream vacations, this vlog will be very helpful when I am ready to visit Greece 😍 keep going and take care!

[@mylahbarreto5265]

Beautiful beaches!

[@corenasalyers7288]

All the beaches were so beautiful. Looked a little cold but you two are always so brave and adventurist What a long travel trip to get to your destination. It’s really great to see your parents visit. Live to see chads parents on vaca with you guys too Thank you for a great video. You two always put out great videos ❤️🌞

[@ChadandClaire]

We will have to invite my parents on a trip someday. The water definitely was cold, but we still had a wonderful time!

[@marjazadow2501]

Always a joy watching the both of you.

[@leonidasmalekakis7366]

I'm from Chania Crete and i have to say that was an amazing video!!

[@reecegains2605]

Loving watching your videos adventures! You such a nice couple and it’s a enjoy seeing you experience the world 🌍

[@bodvargregersen5161]

I like this video because it is impossible not to like such an island with so many beautiful beaches and eye catching mountains. I agree with Claire to rent cars with automatic transmission, especially if the roads are winding and increasing in elevation. The meals that were prepared by Clair and her mother looked very delicious. The snorkeling was very exciting and looked like a whole bunch of fun!

[@ChadandClaire]

Well said! We couldn't agree more

[@debbiegallardo9853]

Beautiful beaches but the water looks cold. You guys was so brave to swim 🤣👍

[@Technotroni]

Looks great, im going to visit chania this week. my second time in crete but this time as an adult. Gyros will be the main dish but i will try out the funkys aswell. might rent car to go to elafonissi beach one day. you two have great energy in videos, keep it up! greeting from norway

[@HANDSTANDZnHANDCUFFZ]

Greece looks stunning, can’t wait to go there one day! We have done a lot of domestic travels but hope to travel internationally as much as you two one day! Keep the adventures coming! :)

[@ChadandClaire]

No doubt you will! So many places to choose from!

[@Byrzzaa]

How much flights to Greece cost on average when flying from the U.S?

[@tsi_tsi]

This brings a tear to my eye, I studied at the technical university in Chania for 5 years and I miss it so much! Also, I basically lived off funky's pizza and crepes lol

[@pekkaaleksi]

We are also here-- in Rethymon😎

[@mylahbarreto5265]

Can hardly wait to go here in September!

[@ChadandClaire]

You're going to have so much fun!

[@ioannisgavrilidis3594]

Great video! I am really happy you enjoyed my hometown. The next time you visit, take the day cruise to Balos, it will be more relaxing and you will also make a stop on the Island of Gramvousa,it has an amazing Venetian fortress which was also used by Pirate Barbarossa as a hideout!

[@MillaExplores]

Crete looks beautiful! I think the shot you got was Ouzo, which is a very traditional Greek drink haha.

[@MT-rw6ws]

No it was Tsikoudia , traditional in Crete .

[@CreteRulz2010]

Nice videos! Tsikoudia or also known as Raki, is wice distilled from grapes, unlike Ouzo. Crete doesn't add anise to their Tsikoudia or Raki like they do in other parts of Greece which provides the licorice like flavor and which turns milky when it comes in contact with water/ice.

[@yiannispalamas1307]

@@CreteRulz2010 There is ouzo with or without anise.

[@Love_rainy_days]

Chad and Claire, 👨👸🌹 Thanks guy's for sharing your cool videos Greece. I love Greece 💖and your channel. 💖 Glad your have fun in Greece. Chad 👨remember Claire 👸🌹 the boss! Cheers 🍦🍦🧔

[@ChadandClaire]

[@owenthomas5876]

[@ChadandClaire]

We will have to come back to Crete someday and try out TAMAM. Happy we can share our view of Balos beach with you and your sister.

[@roachy69]

Dem goats got fleas!

[@alacondaal]

Claire smokn!

[@marcocasella387]

East part of the island is way more wild and you can stay all day long without seeing anyone... west part so famous

[@joshuarenfroe6548]

I’d be filling my rental car with cats and goats, but that’s just me. What month of the year is this video? We want to go for the beaches and swim in warm water, but you mentioned it was chilly. We are planning a trip for May.

[@marylennon1524]

What time of year were you there? Seems chilly and windy?

[@capitoish]
