Fotograf na Krecie. Jestem polskim fotografem mieszkającym na tej wyjątkowej wyspie. Magic in every frame.

Moje zdjęcia to opowieści o świetle, emocjach i autentycznych momentach – odkrywam je w zakamarkach wyspy i w Waszych historiach.

Many times, I find myself not capturing my experiences in photos or videos. Not because I don’t have the opportunity, but because I don’t always feel the need to document them.
Some moments are so full in themselves that trying to capture them breaks them into fragments—fragments that are hard to piece back together later.
Here in Crete, I’m discovering spaces where I can rest from the everyday noise—while also experiencing places where nature and humanity have created something truly remarkable.
Sometimes, the attempt to show what you’ve seen or felt takes away from its authenticity. Not everything needs to be explained through images. Some impressions speak through atmosphere, silence, and presence.
My gaze doesn’t seek embellishment. I long for the simplicity of looking without needing to interpret or comment. Just allowing things to be.
Because not everything can be put into words—and not everything needs to be.

50! 🎂 Instead of a party – Pachnes, 2453 m in Crete.
No candles on top, but the views make up for everything.
The ancients were right: know yourself – and you’ll see you can climb higher than you ever thought.

This hike had it all: winding serpentines, a dramatic gorge, turquoise sea, and a steep climb to finish.
Yesterday’s route: Likos – Livaniana – Aradena – Marmara – Likos. I’ve done it several times already, and it never fails to impress.
From the very start, it’s full of thrills – the serpentine descent to Likos feels like the opening scene of a Hitchcock movie. Then a trek to Livaniana, crossing the stunning Aradena Gorge, a refreshing swim at Marmara Beach, and finally the steep climb back up to Likos.
Sweat, breathtaking views, a dip in the sea, and the joy of an active day well spent – all in one adventure.

The E4 trail in Crete is a paradise for hiking lovers, nature seekers and fans of breathtaking views.
One of its most stunning sections is Sougia – Lissos – wild, peaceful and incredibly picturesque.
Walking along the coastline, you’ll pass ancient ruins, dramatic cliffs, hidden coves and feel as if you’re discovering a completely different world.
If you dream of a trail far from the crowds, full of magic and contrasts – this one should definitely be on your list!
These are just a few shots – the full story is coming soon!

Finally, we made it to Oxa! A short but incredibly scenic hike above Mirabello Bay, with the ruins of Naxos and views bathed in the golden light of sunset. Perfect for an afternoon trek and photography. Full story with photos on the blog.

This time I set out to climb Selene (1559 m a.s.l.) and the conditions couldn’t have been better. Silence, a gentle breeze, the golden sunset and… four majestic eagles soaring above – true kings of the sky.
At the summit I had time to set up two timelapses and simply enjoy the view. And I must admit – the summer sunset on Selene even surpassed last year’s Psiloritis. The landscape feels more diverse, the sea is closer, and the coastline outlines itself beautifully.

Still exploring the southern coast near Preveli.
I’m trying to identify a small chapel perched on a rocky cliff between Drimiskos and the Centuries-old Olive Grove (near Kissano Faraggi). Maps don’t help — it might be dedicated to St. Gregory. Any ideas?

GREECE STORY

Everything started with a walk on Santorini Island near Firostefani. The space, the whiteness of the houses and the colour of the Aegean Sea create the impressive dignity to those sites. Combined with the history they explain why so many people have been enchanted by the island for thousands of years.
