Hitchhiking to Kissamos

After a few days of Chania I wanted to explore the southwest part of Crete more since I've heard there are some wild beaches and good wild camping spots

I decided to hitchhike this part since its been a while since i've done any hitchhiking and hitchhiking shouldn't be that hard in Crete

I started to walk to the highway from Chania in direction of Kissamos, my plan was to try to get a ride to Elafonisi beach in the south west

It is quite a touristic beach so I was mainly hoping for a tourist to pick me up straight to Elafonisi

I got a first ride from 2 young guys heading on a fishing trip in Kolymvari

Kolymvari was halfway to Kissamos so I decided to take the ride, when I arrived in Kolymvari I was standing next to the highway again to get my second ride of the day

After about 15 minutes a friendly old man stopped for me and he offered me a ride to Kissamos

I decided to stop in Kissamos for the day and head to Elafonisi the next day

There wasn't much to see in Kissamos so I just spent the day at the beachLäs mer
