Crete's Last Filo Pastry Master | Greek Islands | TRACKS

Julia visits the island of Crete, intending to step away from the tourist trail and head deep into its heart to explore the Dikti mountains and its striking plateau of windmills. She meets goat shepherd Giannis, who shows her how he makes cheese using traditional methods. Back on the coast at Rethymno, Julia tries the delicacy baklava, meeting filo pastry expert Giorgos, and also meets master artisan Nico, who expertly makes stringed musical instrument, the Cretan lyre. Her journey ends on the stunning but poignant neighbouring island of Spinalonga - once an exiled leper colony.

My wife and I have ever been on Crete a long time ago we were so young , a trip of three week with backpack very good memories thank for your beautiful report

[@hazelzone243]

Amazing. Impatiently waiting for your next video. 💙

[@___beyondhorizon4664]

The phyllo pastry master was featured in STILL STANDING series with millions of views, hes a legend. I didn't know about him when i was visiting Crete in 2026, otherwise i would pay him a visit . Buggasta & Spanakopita are my favorite because both are not too sweet 😊

[@NewVoiceMMI]

Wonderful travel documentary. Give me a glimpse of the internal region where I now hope I will visit in person. Thanks!

The lyra sounds reminds me of the violins of the Gorale Polish in the Tatry mountains

May I have that Brooklyn Tee shirt?

[@naturealbums]

I thought Greeks call that drink Ouzo and Turks call it Raki or is this a different kind of drink Raki?

[@annamaria13333]

It's a different drink, ouzo and raki are Greek but in Turkey they also have raki

[@aokiaoki4238]

Ouzo has an anise flavour. Raki in Greek is called Tsipouro and that's its original name.

[@annamaria13333]

@@aokiaoki4238 in Crete raki it's called raki .

[@aokiaoki4238]

@@annamaria13333 I know but that's not it's Greek name.

[@manos7958]

@@aokiaoki4238 In Crete it is called raki or tsikoudia and most definitely not tsipouro, so it is it's greek name. The origin of the name doesn't really matter since it has been integrated in the language for centuries.

God loves you so much that He sent His Holy Son Jesus from heaven to earth, to be born of a virgin, to grow up and die on a cross for our sins, and to be put into a tomb 3 days and rise from the dead the third day, and He (Jesus) went back up to heaven. We must receive Sinless Jesus sincerely to be God's child(John 1:12).After we get saved by grace through faith in Christ, if we truly love the Lord Jesus Christ, then we will obey Jesus(John 14:15). Mark 1:15 "And saying, the time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: Repent ye, and believe the gospel." Jesus said in John 14:15 "If you love Me, keep My commandments. "There's a real hell. It says in Revelation 21:8 "But for the cowardly, and unbelieving, & abominable, & murderers, and immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone..." Please sincerely receive Holy Jesus and put your true faith and trust in Him today and please repent.

Yes we adore HELLAS and teh HELLENIC world, but WHY can't you speak the Hellenic language? There are so many internet freebies that can teach you and imagine how the family would be politely surprised and ever so happy. Oh, Peter Manetas has a brilliant series on the islands - made for Australia.

is it hard to find Giorgos pastry shop? how old is he now? I have seen him being feature on "A GREAT BIG STORY" before this. I hope he lives a long life and continue his art of making phyllo :) I love the spinach pie, I eat it everyday when I visit Greece! but the Baklava is too sweet for me.

[@annamaria13333]

@@worldcitizeng6507 it's not hard to find him, ask a local everyone knows him, it's near the mikrasiaton square!

Julia, you got it wrong about the Romans. Otherwise, interesting but not worth 10 points. 20 minutes is very short, it's more of an introduction than a serious travelogue: where are the mountains and valleys, villages, gastronomy, wines, local folklore, costumes, architecture, history, etc??? You met 2 bakers, a shepherd, and exhanged 3 wordswith them and instead of local guides hired a chap from Manchester, who was really a taxi driver who drove you to the shepherd's farm and talked about windmills he saw on an old picture but are no longer there on a valley which tourists are never going to visit because it's a farming valley.
