Athens sightseeing
24 de septiembre de 2022, Grecia ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
Athens... I've always wanted to visit this city
So much history and culture there, its the birthplace of our modern society and I just cannot believe I finally got here....

I wanted to visit the Acropolis, since I am travelling on a strict budget to extend my travels as long as possible I wasn't really looking forward to pay 30+ euros to visit all these ancient sites but i wanted to visit them anyway

I got to the acropolis and wanted to take a pass for all the ancient sites, but the woman told me its free admission day today...

I couldn't believe this, I did some research on Google and apparantly it was european heritage weekend which meant that a lot of european musea were free that weekend...

So I could visit all ancient sites in Athens for free, which is really the best thing that could happen in Athens to a budget traveller 😁

It was the right decision to follow my gut feeling and take the train to Athens already the night beforeLeer más

Ferry to Crete
26 de septiembre de 2022, Grecia ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C
After a few days in Athens, the weather was really good so I decided to spent a few days at the beach, maybe on an island

I was checking some islands to go to and Crete seemed like a good option, the overnight ferry was quite cheap at only 36 euros, so I decided to took the ferry to Heraklion that nightLeer más

I did arrive at Heraklion early in the morning

I tried to sleep on the deck of the ferry in my sleeping bag but the floor was really hard so I couldn't sleep well

There was lots of wind on the deck as well but I did enjoy it, i love the boat ride and the view of the stars at nightLeer más

27 de septiembre de 2022, Grecia ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
When I arrived in Heraklion I didn't really knew what to do because I had no idea what there was to do in Heraklion

What I did learn when I arrived is that Crete is actually full of history and culture, apparantly the Minotaur also originates from Crete, you can also visit the labyrinth of the Minotaur in Knossos, I didn't knew that

I've learned about this place called Matala which is supposed to be kind of a hippie place in the southern part of Crete

Well, lets check it out and I did hop on a bus from Heraklion to Matala

I did sleep this night on the beach in my sleeping bag under the nightskyLeer más

After a few days in Matala I decided to go somewhere else

Hitchhiking to Kissamos
2 de octubre de 2022, Grecia ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
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 beachLeer más

Elafonisi beach
3 de octubre de 2022, Grecia ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
I took the bus from Kissamos to Elafonisi

Elafonisi is a really beautiful beach but... It is really too crowded with tourists

I didn't really enjoy this beach that much because of it, which is a shame because its really beautiful and it has the most clear and blue waters i've ever seenLeer más

Kedrodasos
3 de octubre de 2022, Grecia ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C
After a few hours on Elafonisi I decided to move on to Kedrodasos

Its about a 30 minutes hike through some rocky paths from Elafonisi and from what I've heard its one of the best places for wild camping in Crete

And they were really right about it!
This place is stunning! A lot of isolated and abandoned beaches, good spots to pitch a tent and there were other people camping as well

I did decide not to pitch my tent tonight but just sleep on a beach under the clear nightsky in my sleeping bag

I had never seen a nightsky as clear as this, I could see all the stars

This was definitely one of the most uncomfortable nights I've had in my life because the beach consisted out of stones which was pretty hard to sleep on but it was definitely one of the most memorable nights I've ever had

Sometimes you just need to step out of your comfort zone, you won't remember your most comfortable experiences in life but your most uncomfortable experiences will certainly be the most memorable and the best stories to tell afterwardsLeer más

Camping on Kedrodasos
5 de octubre de 2022, Grecia ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C
After one night sleeping under the stars on the beach I decided to pitch up my tent because it would be more convenient

That way I had a place to leave my backpack and I didnt have to carry it with me all the time

I did camp here for 2 more nights and it was an amazing experience

I did shutdown my phone to disconnect from all social media for a while and just enjoyed being in nature, listening to the sounds of the ocean and enjoying the sun which is still quite warm in Crete at this time of the year

This experience really gave me a lot of new energy and did allow me to connect with nature more as ever before in my lifeLeer más
