A	Adam Mazurkiewicz on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ a place where soldiers during the ww2 landed, and many of them couldn't use the return ticket
J	Jason Willey on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very emotive vist, the Cemetery itself is spotless with a beautiful view of the ocean.
T	The Limehouse Podcast on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I by no means sought the memorial out but I am certainly interested in the many terrible conflicts of WW2. I wasn’t prepared for the intensity that came with the great silence, one could say a respectful air even from Mother Nature herself. There is always the most heartbreaking presence to these places that is almost impossible to lay a finger on and to try and give it a word is impossible. What I will say however is just how close I came to missing this site and I do feel richer for having spent time there with my family. Sacrifice is a word we now have very little true sense of. Sacrifice to the men women children all those decades past was not something, I’m sure, crossed their minds. Fear and total terror with a mixture of do or die probably forced a lot of people into places a few months previously they’d never even dreamed of. What this memorial like so many others does is simply pay the most glorious eternal respect to those that knowingly, unknowingly gave their lives for us. Us, that’s a word. Us and look what we are still doing to ourselves and the planet we live in. In the future I wonder if the sacrifices we make, our children make, will have to be quite as fundamentally horrific as the ones laid down at places like Souda Bay? I urge anybody with a sense of their place in the world to visit the memorial.

T	Tim Müller on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The Suda Bay War Cemetery is a military cemetery administered by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission at Souda Bay, Crete. It contains 19 burials from World War I and 731 World War II burials (Battle of Crete). Definately worth a visit if you're near Chania or Souda.
R	Ryan Aitken on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Amazing place. I have to say, one of the best places we visited. It was certainly an eye opener but calm and tranquil. Couldn't think of a better resting place for these young men.
D	Drone Ranger on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A very poignant place to visit. All these men and woman lost and for what. This is a must see. Just standing there breaks your heart. There is a German one near by but at the time I didn’t know otherwise I would have paid a visit As Ex-Army I think all combatants should be paid respect ? because at the end of the day neither him or I wish to be there. Stand down lads your time is done. Thank you and RIP Cheers DR
