Crete (called Candia in the Venetian period) is the largest of the Greek islands and the fifth largest in the Mediterranean Sea. Steeped in Homeric history and culture, scented by wild fennel and basil, Crete welcomes and overwhelms visitors with its wealth of myths, legends and history, a blessed and dramatic landscape, an extraordinary fusion of past and present, and an abundance of choices and experiences.
Tourist attractions in Crete include archeological sites at Knossos, Phaistos, Gortys and many other places, the Venetian castle in Rethymno, the Samaria Gorge and many other minor gorges (Agia Irini, Aradena, etc).

The people of Crete are rightly proud of their glorious past and the rich culture which makes this island unique in modern times. Civilization dates back to pre-historic times and the palatial Minoan remains at Knossos bear witness to a blend of myth and majesty. The passage of time can be traced through Byzantine mosaics to Venetian palaces and fortifications against the Ottoman empire
Today old and new are entwined, making Crete an island full of charm and hidden treasures from the craggy central mountains to verdant valleys and plateaux, orange groves, vineyards and endless beaches and coves. The North coast bustles with activity: the South is still quiet; the West is green and lush; the East has palm trees and working windmills. And wherever you go the famous Cretan hospitality is in full supply!
