COVID-19 has put a dampener on dreams of travel, however we can still visit Greece thanks to the amazing videos on the youtube channel of Tourister.

His latest film takes us to magical Crete an island of rich history, cultural heritage and beauty. Warm and inviting, the video reminds us of a post-COVID-19 world and, for those of us in the Antipodes, it brings to mind warm summers in the Greece of happy holiday memories.

Enjoy the footage, and remember the words of great writer Nikos Kazantzakis, who said: “Crete’s mystery is extremely deep. Whoever sets foot on this island senses a mysterious force branching warmly and beneficiently through his veins,senses his soul begin to grow.”

Enjoy footage of magnificent mountain ranges, water-sports, tranquil locations and clean crystal-clear water. Bathed in sunlight much of the year, the climate is one of the best in Europe. The largest island in Greece, it is understandably a most popular travel and vacation destination.

Enjoy the footage.
