Southernmost and largest of all the Greek islands, Crete is full of contrasts, with flower filled valleys, pretty coves, beautiful beaches and villages nestling at the foot of towering mountains. There are a wealth of beaches scattered throughout the island ' most notably the soft, pale sandy beaches at Kokini Hani, Gouves and Malia ' but Crete has so much more to offer with lovely harbour towns at Rethmynon, Chania and Agios Nikolaos, several ancient Minoan sites, including Knossos, home of Minotaur, and the longest gorge in Europe at Samaria. Greece's biggest waterpark 'Water City' is just three kilometres from Hersonissos whilst energetic nightlife can be found at Hersonissos and Malia. With a wealth of things to see and do you will be able to re-discover Crete time and time again. |
