The magnificent palace complexes of Knossos and Phaistos remind us of the former glory of the island, arousing admiration with its panache and intricate architecture. Contemporary tourists will surely be delighted with the picturesque landscapes of the island and the many attractions offered by resorts and resorts – scooters and water skiing, diving, sailing and parachuting are just the beginning of an extreme adventure on this picturesque island. Its mountainous landscape creates ideal conditions for hiking – it is worth seeing the longest gorge in Europe – Samari, which is entirely within the Cretan National Park.

Why Choose Crete
Crete is the largest of the Greek islands and from it’s mountain peaks to it’s coastal towns and villages, the Cretan people welcome holidaymakers with open arms and will do everything to make your holiday special.
On Crete tourists are accommodated in hotels, apartments, pensions, villas, rooms, from Chania in the west to Sitia in the east. With beautiful villages and towns like Sissi, Aghios Nikolaos, Elounda, Rethymnon, Ierapetra, Paleochora, Sfakion, Agia Roumeli, Hersonissos, Stalis and Malia, the list is endless.
There are so many places to visit that you may not see them all in one visit, places like Knossos, Vai, Kritsa, the Samaria Gorge and the Lassithi Plateau. As well as the sights, Crete has many fine restaurants and tavernas, serving local Cretan and International cuisine.
The northern coast has the lions share of beaches and for the young at heart there are many night clubs, bars and clubs playing the latest in music.
Alone or in groups…

Where to begin Crete ?
An alternative to going where you want, is to book a hotel or villa that is centrally located. From here you can used to National Highway to get swiftly east or west, but even doing this, Crete is large enough to take you at least a fortnight or more to see.
Basing yourself between Heraklion and Aghios Nikolaos is best for those wishing to see the main archaeological sites such as the palaces of Knossos, Malia, Faistos and Zakros. These are all within easy driving distance. Whilst the Lassithi Plateau and the Dhiktean Cave are just a ‘stones throw’ away.
Walking and Flora Crete
The further west that you go on Crete, then the quieter it gets, until you get to the bustling Chania. Although greener than the eastern end of the island, the west is also more mountainous. Nature lovers will find that the west is far richer, botanically.
This region is very good for long spectacluar walks such as the Samaria and Imbros Gorges or the finger like peninsulas of the northern coast.
Beach Holidays Crete
If you just want to crash out and do nothing more than lay on the beach all day, there are scores of semi-tropical hideaways in the less developed parts of the island, from Vai in the extreme east to the Elafonisi islands in the west. Most of these hideaways are situated on the southern side of Crete in small places like Paleochora, Chora Sfakion and Matala. The amount of accommodation available in these villages is limited, so it is advisable to pre-book early in the season.
Getting around Crete
Touring Crete by car is relatively cheap and easy to do and car hire usually gets a cheaper rate. Whichever company you decide to use for your car hire, make sure that you check tyres and know how to use the jack before setting out on any expedition. Cretan roads suffer from sharp stones and potholes making it easy to get a puncture.
Alternatively, you can hire a motorcycle or scooter, although we would not recommend this unless you are a very proficient rider.
Whatever way you decide to tour Crete, plan well in advance and give yourself plenty of time to get to places of interest.
Visiting Crete
Visit the picturesque Villages of the main land and the Minoan tombs in Kladistos, that recently came into light. Get to know the outstanding beauty of Cretan people who – most among the Greeks – maintain time-honored customs and manners.
