As someone Greek from Chania, I can say it’s one of the most beautiful places in Europe — the light, the sea, the atmosphere, everything feels like a dream. But for many locals, that dream isn’t ours anymore. Crete has slowly become a paradise for visitors and property owners, while the people who work to keep it running live a very different reality.
Behind the smiles and hospitality that tourists see, there’s exhaustion, pressure, and often abuse. The kindness shown to visitors is rarely shown to the workers who make tourism possible. Many employees face verbal humiliation, harassment, unpaid tips, and no respect for basic needs like breaks or food. And if you speak up, the answer is always the same: “If you don’t like it, leave.”
But there’s nowhere else to go — every next job is another tourism job with the same conditions. That’s why so many young people leave Crete altogether. We studied, we worked hard, but we’re treated as disposable. Crete feels like paradise for outsiders, but for many locals, it’s become an island where survival replaces dignity.
I spend 3 months in Chania this past Winter .My 5th time in my favorite City .Looking forward to go back again .❤ Chania .
Don't go to Chania! It is a tourist trap, overrated and full of scammers!
Stupid people ruin the beauty of old city of Chania with their stupid graffiti !!!
I love Crete! We went in 2007! It was amazing. My favourite beach was falasina we went in the off season so it was quieter
I absolutely loved this video. Great work, and this made me hungry just watching it 😂
Wow who's the hot blonde?
Hey guys, best wishes for your stay in Crete. If it is still warm enough outside, look into the hidden gem of Kedrodasos beach near to the popular Elafonisi beach and the unique and beautiful mountain eco-retreat of Milia Village…….both are in the region of Crete where Chania is. Cheers!
Epic! I settled in Chania with my family from Australia. Golden Visa right before prices went 250k euro property investment to 800k 😅 You have to be rich now.
Athens is a maximum 3 day stay. Then head back to the airport and get the next flight to Crete.
Whilst Crete is an Island and relies on your patronage. They are far more interested in satisfying you first. To them the money will work itself out. Crete should become autonomous (having the freedom to govern itself or control its own affairs.) and show mainland Greece how things are done.
Spend any more time in Crete and you're going to go from fit nomads to fat nomads! Beautiful video guys, love the facial expressions after biting into those tasty treats. Chania is great. Hopefully you get to Rethymnon, I think it's actually better than Chania!
No tasting cheese bougatsa? This is a must in Crete.
I hate you guys, because I keep watching your videos :). The travel bug is bothering me to venture out, however with kids, jobs and school schedules, it is not going to happen anytime soon. Anyhow, your Albania series has already put Albania on top of the list for next year travel (crossing fingers that it happens). Thank you for sharing your experiences.
