This week's show is supported by the new Smart Travel Podcast. Travel smarter — and spend less — with help from NerdWallet. Check out Smart Travel here.
Why should you visit Western Crete?
Jonty says, "Crete is a diverse Greek island, home to excellent hiking, dramatic gorges, atmospheric villages, epic coastlines, and ancient history."
Jonty spent around a week hiking in western Crete, village walks in the north, the White Mountains in the center, and along the south coast. He did a self-guided trip with the Natural Adventure and their local operator, S-Cape. They organize the logistics, including accommodation, bag transfers, and provide GPS walking routes. Many of the sights can be seen without hiking, though, in fewer days with a car.

After losing her job, Kelly Peeler made a bold decision: she bought and renovated a home on the Greek island of Milos—with no prior experience—and transformed it into an art residency designed for women to rest, create, and connect.
Kelly shares how burnout and years of living nomadically across Europe led her to Greece, why she chose Milos, and the vision behind building a global ecosystem for female artists.
We also dive into the practical side of making a move like this, including what it takes to buy property in Greece as a foreigner, how she searched for homes abroad, and what surprised her most about the cost of living, healthcare, and everyday life.
If you've ever dreamed about moving abroad, starting over, or designing a life that feels more aligned with who you are today, this conversation will leave you inspired to think bigger about what's possible.

Doug interviews Andrea about her ten-night "Best of Greece" cruise aboard Celebrity Infinity. Andrea discusses the ship's recent technical issues, her decision to sail, and highlights from the itinerary, including ports like Nafplio, Heraklion, Rhodes, Kavala, Kusadasi, and Athens.
She shares insights on dining, entertainment, and shore excursions, noting the ship's age but praising its cleanliness and crew.
Despite minor setbacks prior to her sailing, Andrea describes the cruise as a bucketlist itinerary and well-paced, with a focus on exploring Greek destinations rather than what the ship offers onboard.

• Crete's Hidden Depths: Explore more than beaches—like the poignant beauty of a preserved leper colony and the stunning Palace of Knossos. Plus, Cheryl's unexpected emotional moment at a nearly forgotten site.
• Naxos, the Culinary Underdog: Spoiler alert—this island may have stolen the show. Learn why renting a car here is a must, how to find secret beaches, and where to eat your weight in feta.
