Crete through my eyes - April to August

[u/kays_view]

Shot on my older Samsung Galaxy, as I seldomly take my camera with me.

I'm by no means a professional photographer, but I have a real love for it as a hobby and often plan my hikes with photography in mind. I try to keep my pack light when hiking, and thankfully, a phone usually does the job. Crete, however, is so stunningly beautiful that I find myself running out of storage space far more often than I'd like!

Δεν είμαι επαγγελματίας φωτογράφος, αλλά αγαπώ πολύ τη φωτογραφία ως χόμπι και συχνά οργανώνω τις πεζοπορίες μου με βάση αυτήν. Τις περισσότερες φωτογραφίες τις τραβάω με το παλιό Samsung κινητό μου. προσπαθώ να αποφεύγω το πολύ βάρος όταν περπατάω στο βουνό, και ευτυχώς, τις περισσότερες φορές το κινητό αρκεί. Η Κρήτη όμως έχει τόση ομορφιά που η μνήμη του κινητού γεμίζει γρήγορα… και συχνά!

If you’re still there, or planning to go back, I highly recommend hiking the aradena gorge. It’s really beautiful and special and much more isolated than Samaria and the others.

I've already been, thank you! Maybe you could also try the Diktamos Gorge. I was always on my own hiking it, no crowds, quiet, pretty and a biiiit of climbing.
