Exploring Crete: between ancient history and picturesque beaches
Crete, the largest of the Greek islands, offers you a captivating mix of ancient history, breathtaking scenery and vibrant culture. Nestled in the azure waters of the Mediterranean, this island offers a variety of experiences to suit all tastes. From the vibrant cities of Heraklion and Chania to the tranquil, sun-kissed beaches of Elafonissi and Balos, Crete promises an unforgettable adventure.
The island's rich history is reflected in the numerous archaeological sites, of which the Palace of Knossos is one of the most important. As the centre of the ancient Minoan civilisation, Knossos offers a fascinating insight into a world that flourished over 3,000 years ago. On a walk through the ruins, the past seems tangibly close and is reminiscent of the myths and legends of ancient Greece.
In addition to its historical treasures, Crete is also a paradise for nature lovers. The Samaria Gorge, one of the longest gorges in Europe, is a hiker's dream, offering breathtaking views and diverse wildlife. The island's rugged mountains, lush valleys and crystal-clear waters create a picturesque landscape that is both dramatic and calming.
