Spinalonga island, 2022. Walking tour 4K, Crete Greece || Kreta 2022

[@jostring33]

Thanks, Zameer, I visited in 2011 and I had read the book 'The Island' by Victoria Hislop before. Which made my visit even more emotional. I advise all to read before you visit. It is based on the experiences of the people who were forced to live and die on the island. It would have been good for you to have talked about the history. Beautiful though, I want to go back now. :)

Nice to see you getting the recognition you deserve ! I remember visiting Spinalonga in 1993 , it was very basic then , no cafes , etc ! The guide on the boat told the passengers to look down the pits where you could see human bones ( possibly animals )! It's improved so much now ! Please do another video from plaka and the surrounding area .

So nice to see how many flowers and grasses there are. It looks so lush. I have been there three times in tne middle of the Summer and is always very dry and brown

[@elizabethbarrett7043]

I have been to spinalonga many times everytime I go I see the work done to renovate. I also love the calmness and beauty on the island. I enjoyed your video and makes me eager for my next visit

Wonderful video. I was in Spinalonga last week Wednesday 19th October 2022.. My second visit to Spinalonga..such a beautiful place. Look forward to more of your videos ..

[@tino9309]

j'ai visité Spinalonga 2 fois, en octobre 2021 et tout récemment le 22 octobre 2022, j'ai vraiment aimé , donne le bonjour aux chats roux si tu y retournes zameer. a 1:00:10 il y a le petit chat roux que j'ai croisé le 22 octobre, exactement au même endroit , a coté de l'église, j'ai pris plein de photos de lui, et il est resté avec nous 10 mns, il se laissait caresser gentiment, je suis trop content de le revoir dans cette video, et si j'avais pu le ramener en France je l'aurais fait volontiers

[@zameerpactyan]

Thanks for your comment 👍

I'm visiting Spinalonga at 2014. And i see, what some houses has been restored. It's so good!

[@maksimclaes]

Very nice video, does anyone know what the stone walls on the nearby peninsula are for? You can see them at 29:50 right above your hand. Very thin lines on the right upper side of the video.

[@jolas2856]

Great video. I was there in 2019 and I think it is an amazing place. 1 hour is not enough time to visit Spinalonga and feel the history and atmosphere of this special place.

[@zameerpactyan]

Indeed 😁

[@grahamtaylor8912]

It's an amazing place. I was even more impressed by Spinalonga than I was by Knossos.

[@brigittezach8444]

Thank you so much Zameer for your beautiful videos. You are doing a very very good job. Lovely greetings from Austria.

Greetings! Thank you! You deserve all the kindness that comes your way! 🥰

[@zameerpactyan]

Cheers! Thank you!

[@garytilton7458]

Zameer, your timing could not have been better to the hour. We had just met with dear friends about visiting Crete. Your style, use of English, tenderness about a lizard along the path..., you are a pietic philosopher par excellence. par

[@zameerpactyan]

Thank you so much! That's really nice of you, Peace enjoy life 😁

[@gti20vtMarcel]

Nice vid. Zameer!, one point though you could have told something about the purpose of the island . Cretan government banned people with Leprosy there from 1903 till 1957 until there were medicine's for the disease.

[@Marianatassa]

So beautiful! You did it again.

[@zameerpactyan]

Thank you!

[@Richard-Rodgers]

Once again Zameer you have given us another great video with this fantastic trip to Spinalonga. It is such a humbling place to visit when you read about the hardship that the lepers had to endure up until the 1950s. You really deserve all the great comments from your viewers.

[@zameerpactyan]

Thanks a lot! It is really nice of you.

[@scottcunningham328]

Another great video we don't get to Crete until August and your videos are just what we need to keep us going keep make the fantastic content

[@zameerpactyan]

Thank you so much for the comment!

[@simonbellsinger]

I loved seeing you recognised. Well deserved. I visited Spinalonga a few years ago after reading the book The Island. I read it at Elounda heights, overlooking the island, then visited when I had finished. It was very moving.

[@zameerpactyan]

Really happy to read your comment! Cheers 😁

[@rahatorozova6375]

Thank you so much for this tour. I just finished to read book "The island" written by Victoria Hislop about this island. It was so interesting to see this island well described in this book. I'm so glad to find your video.

[@jalalal-haddad7414]

Allright Allright Zameer, you became a local guide i Crete😆👍✌

[@zameerpactyan]

Apparently 😄!

[@ElisabethLvaas]

I recommand you to read the book «The island» by Victoria Hislop, to learn about Spinalongas dramatic history as a lepra colony. Your film is nice, but this island is so much more than buildings

[@zameerpactyan]

Thanks for the comment! I will look into it.

[@emilyy.i0]

Hi Zameer! I’ve watched a few of your videos now as I’m visiting Stalida next month. Do you know what time the first boat leaving plaka is?? I’m driving there and would like to avoid all the excursions haha!

[@zameerpactyan]

I don't know, plan your breakfast there!

[@markt5703]

wow, you almost have Spinalonga all for yourself there, your videos are perfect feel good remedy, this puts spinalonga on my "to visit list", hope it will be not be too crowded when i get the chance, cheers!

[@gallahuespub]

can you get boat from hersonnisos

[@alexandraroxanabelascu1152]

From Plaka do you need to book the ticket in advance or buy it when you leave? At what time the boats are leaving? Do you recomand a boat agency?

[@grahamfordyce2399]

I hope I bump into you in August!

[@zameerpactyan]

Haha sure why not! Cheers

[@bellcross7]

do the children pay for the boat trip? and is it possible to get there by bus from Malia?

[@ItsmeAlexCrete]

Yes they have to pay. From Malia it's easy to go by car.

[@bellcross7]

@@ItsmeAlexCrete I'd like to get there by bus. the rented car does not have child seats

[@grahamtaylor8912]

@@bellcross7I got an coach trip from Hersonissos to Spinalonga last October for 29 Euros, Picked up outside hotel and picked people up in Stalis and Malia, the coach trip stopped at Agios Nikolaos for an hour, then onto Elounda and the boat trip to Spinalonga, we had a few hours on the island then went to another island had a barbecue on the beach then got dropped back off at the hotel. You will see loads of excursion shops selling that deal. Great day out.

[@heikebeckmann6340]

@@grahamtaylor8912 Hi,that was a realy good price👍

[@grahamtaylor8912]

@@heikebeckmann6340 It was a great deal I agree (you still have to pay €8 at the ticket booth at Spinalonga, but a just a normal return bus journey from Hersonissos to Agios Nicholas is €15 on it's own) plus the tour guides were very good, telling you everything about Spinalonga, in German, Russian and English. I enjoyed visiting Spinalonga even more than I enjoyed Knossos). (and the barbecue on the beach was good too.)

[@jeffsofroniou2964]

Hi Zameer, thank you for the video. A lot has changed since I last visited in 2015. It would have been a bit more beneficial to your viewers, who are not able to visit if you were able to point out the buildings and the areas on the island. It was good to see that you were recognized by your viewers.

[@zameerpactyan]

My pleasure! I am grateful to receive your love and appreciation.

[@robinlunderius7619]

How much does this cost

[@zameerpactyan]

I think at that time it cost around 15 Euros.
