General Photography Tips for Crete
1.
Shoot during golden hour (1 hour after sunrise or before sunset) for warm, magical light

Bring a polarizing filter to reduce glare on the water and deepen blue skies
3.
The Cretan sun is intense — use a lens hood and watch for harsh shadows at midday

5.
A waterproof phone pouch is essential for beach and boat photography

Ask permission before photographing locals, especially in traditional villages
