TimTravels - Crete, Agia Galini - Day 1

in #photography7 years ago

Welcome my dear Steemian friends to a new episode of TimTravels!

As promised I set off to Greece and today I arrived on Crete, the fifth largest island in the Mediterranean. With me my camera and drone, ready to for some breathtaking shots. The first stop today was at Agia Galini, a cozy little harbor city with around 700 citizens. But more on that later.


When you get off the plane and leave the airport those terminals are the first thing to see. You can get information from your travel organizer there as well as taking the bus to your hotel



We were picked up by a private shuttle which drove us to our hotel. Nice service!



The view from the balcony. I can get used to it



Cats, cats and more cats. Crete is full of cats and they were pretty cute. If you would ask me whether I prefer cats or dogs? Hard to tell


A nice portion of Gyros! A must eat


Drone operator Tim preparing for take off!




By far the most favorite shots I took today. Now sit back and enjoy the shots

I expect to visit the top 10 beaches of Crete this week and capture them for you. Here comes the questions: Would you like to have some daily posts about my journey through Crete or rather see two or three updates for the whole week? I also plan to make a video about Crete too! Some droney drone action is to be expected.

Hope you enjoyed this episode of TimTravels! Leave a comment behind and tell us what you liked the most! Have you ever been on Crete?

Steem on!

Hi #Tim, You're living a life that most of the bloggers, in particular dream of. Keep inspiring man.

laughs, that's a very funny way to put it, but you are indeed correct, several bloggers on steemit only live out such experiences in their dreams. Travelling is one cool way to have fun.I think i will add Crete to my future travel destination.

It's true that getting passive income from blogging is great and is a dream for most including me. @timsaid is living a dream from the amount of dollars he gets upvoted for one post. I blog unsuccessfully but I been to 6 different countries so far. It's not much, but I worked for it.

But if you are referring to travel, achieving that dream doesn't mean you have to be successful.

Yesterday, I turned on my PC and opened Steemit. I saw one of my post made over $400! I was ecstatic, overwhelmed with joy, I cried. Then I woke up.

one of the most beautiful islands in the world!
you ll see beaches of all kind amd meet fascinating people...
have fun!!!

I was born in this nation

I love Greece :) very kind people

Glad about that.

I want to help. I have become very weak. Please help and thank you

Wow, nice pictures! Enjoy your trip in Crete!

I want to help. I have become very weak. Please help and thank you

I've been there, too :) but I don't have those amazing drone shots! great views

Nice comment dear...@nutschill
Trust you had an amazing time dear...

This place is beautiful! i can't wait to see more of the beaches you post! I'd watch it everyday! I have never been to Greece but I adore Greek Salads...the feta with the olives and house dressing I can only imagine how good it would be there.

@clove71 well said...nice comment...the location is superb amd photos awesome..

Hope you enjoy your stay in our beautiful country 😊😊😎😎

This is an incredible journey for the stealth blogger. As a freelance writer or photographer it is necessary to travel to several regions or countries to record and capture the activities of many people or other objects.

This kind of trip is great, there will be a lot of good photos to share with the loyal followers @timsaid, including me who is very impressed with the work @timsaid.

I have not been able to travel between countries, besides not having much money, I am still constrained by the language.

Slowly I try to record the activities of local people in Aceh, while learning to prepare for travel to other areas.

Wonderful pictures reminded me of my last holiday last may in Crete. Did you visit the Samaria gorge? Some beautiful shots could be taken with a drone there.

Wow this looks very nice and fun

I loved your pictures. Wow..... they're really nice. It could be a dream to visit such a beautiful place.

Wow! What's not to love above crystal clear waters, a city on a cliff, gorgeous sunsets and a view from your hotel that is to die for. So jealous! I can't wait to see more photos and will catch them on your feed whenever you can post them there. Have fun!

Great post and truly breathtaking pictures 😊 so peaceful and colorful. Amazing place to visit
Really inspiring. Thank you for sharing.

Heh, it doesn't surprise me at all that Crete is full of cats. I was in Corfu a few years back and it was exactly the same. Crete looks like more fun though :)

Wow. This is beautiful man. Nice!. I wish i were in your shoes. Love to visit other countries but i cant. This looks clean and modern.. I guess my country still lives in the 20th century

Hola Tim, uno de mis sueños en conocer Grecia! Cuando yo era adolescente, vi una película cuyo escenario era Grecia, no recuerdo su nombre. Desde ese entonces yo sueño con conocer las casas blancas sobre esas rocas, al lado de ese mar y cielo azul. Quizás algún día, nunca se sabe. Por lo pronto yo voy a evocar esos sueños con las imágenes que usted publique aquí.

Very beautiful location to shoot...tge photoshots are superb...glad am following as such will not miss anything...the cat looked well fed & relaxed, the food yummy...the site amaxing.

Traveling all over the world is my dream and one day i will fulfill it, Still than i'm feeling jeouls of you :D :P

Woooow so amazing place l! i can't wait to see more of the beaches you post! I'd watch it everyday! I have never been to Greece but I adore Greek Salads...the feta with the olives and house dressing I can only imagine how good it would be there.

Incredible pictures 😍 It would be great to see daily posts from Crete.

Great drone shots man. Those red striated rocks on the shore of the 4th to last pic are mesmerizing.

Beautiful views, beautiful architecture, beautiful food! Greece is one of the places I would love to go to !

Beautiful travel candids!

Beautiful pictures! 😎

Piccata? Titicaca! I am Cornholio! I need piccata for my bunghole!

What has been the reaction of the locals in different countries to your drone? Is there a curiosity, do they even notice or care?

That amphitheater next to the water, is that a modern build or is that from historic times? Hard to tell from the drone view.

I think it was modern or rebuilt. Not quite sure. And it's amazing how people react here. While in Germany people are afraid of drones most people here came and wanted to take selfies with me and asked questions. They were amazed and chilled

That's cool. You became the tourist attraction. :-)

wow so exciting journey. nice shot. followed you kindly do a favour plz spread my post as much you can if you are real human. your one click can change my life.
