What the creator captured
Ryan Shirley highlighted Seitan Limania as one of his favorite locations due to its incredibly clear water and perfect cliff jumping spots. He was also particularly struck by the unique landscape of Preveli Beach, where a palm forest river flows directly into the Mediterranean Sea. Overall, he emphasized Crete's diversity, ranging from the southernmost point of Europe on Gavdos to the car-free serenity of Loutro.
