I love Crete and have been many times. Once we stayed in Rethymnon and one evening went searching for somewhere to eat, away from the tourist areas. At the end of an alley we saw some faint light and went for a look. There were 3 tables, surrounded by grape vines in the courtyard of a very very old building. My wife speaks Greek and we met the owner who invited us to look in her kitchen. No menu, 4 or 5 dishes, fish, meat, vegetables, that's it, laid out on her worktop. We sat down, and the table filled with food. The lady even ran somewhere, to get our preferred drink's as she didn't have it in her kitchen. That meal, is one of my most memorable meals, ever. Simple food, cooked perfectly. A very special place.

Because of this video, Crete is now on top of my list post pandemic. Please give details of how we can go to this farm. It’s a mystery to me how people can give this one a thumbs down.

@@mr.gutgemeint6316 You are right to be dountful about the honesty of the move, but remember that what we watch here is merely a glimpse of the footage, so the existence of the camera did not guarantee that we would see this gesture for sure. It was Mark's choice to include it and that's proof that at least he saw this as an honest gesture. Moreover, even if the owner did it because Mark is a youtuber, it still remains a totally positive thing to do from an ethical perspective: "you are so graciously showcasing and praising my small restaurant to your international audience. I can't take your money too", which wasn't obliged to do though as we 've seen in all of his other videos were no other owner denied him to pay. The most possible scenario is that Mark paid to the waiter and left, this sm went inside with the money of his table, the owner caught it up and thus returned back to give them back to him out of filotimo (a virtue we cherish, untranslatable). I am convinced of this because as a Greek i know that, for good and bad, we (except me😛) never overthink.

Absolutely wonderful ... my husband and I are here in Livadia, Western Crete but leaded to Kalamitsi Amygdali (near Chania) next Saturday and we will definitely make a reservation and eat there. Loved your infectious enthusiasm and great sense of humor. We are both foodies and your video provided just the motivation we needed to drive up to Ntounias! Thank you!

We went there a few days ago during our week here. My favorite of our trip. The Goat was the bomb. Every dish was awesome. So friendly. A true food experience. Big THANKS for this video. Made my day!

Cretan food is unique in it's own way and so, so delicious. With food like that I would never want to leave the island.

This HAS to be the best video you have ever made Mark 👍 and what a privilege to visit a piece of paradise!! Food cooked over an open flame is one of life's pleasures that should me experienced at least once. Truly remarkable and I can feel your excitement through it all

I'm Greek living in Australia and when I did go to Greece for a while when I was little those berries my grandma use to pick for me all the time, they were my FAVOURITE! I also was on the farm quite a lot and some things really freaked me out... like the bugs... some animals are scary because they are rough. Also the flower's are so addicting and refreshing... I can't stop at 2... gotta hav like 10 AHAHA but yeah overall you really experience every part of the life cycle of your food. Truly an amazing experience! Thank you so much for sharing Greece, the island life, the food, the environment, the people and hospitality. I'm sure all your Greek viewers appreciate you showing the good that still thrives :)

God bless you Mark. I was there last year and this clip brought back so many beautiful memories. Visiting different restaurants with loved ones and my father showing me his village is something I will never forget. Cretan culture is very unique and special. It really cannot be described in mere words. For anyone interested in this clip please fly to Crete and experience this passion.

I don’t know if anyone already said this but when the cook goes inside with the pot he says “be careful daughter!” to this little girl Picking berries like that is something I’ve always done and basically all of the friends and family do while we’re out of town
