Crete is the largest island in Greece. The island offers amazing variety, combining snow-capped
mountains, rolling hills covered with olive trees and over 1000
km of varied coastline. Crete has far more endemic plants than
any other island in Europe.
Crete is also a mix of large tourist resorts, small fishing villages, remote
settlements and cities such as Chania and Heraklion which have been inhabited
for almost 8000 years. Whether you come to Crete for the sea and the sun, the
culture and traditions, the peaceful seaside villages of South Crete or the
dramatic landscapes, there is something for everyone.
