Experience the Unique Culture of Crete on Your Next Greek Holiday

Crete is one of the most heavily visited islands in all of Greece, and for good reason. The island has a stunning combination of jagged mountains, lush valleys, idyllic beaches, and deep gorges where waterfalls and rivers flow out to the Mediterranean Sea. Holiday rentals and villas nestle next to Venetian castles, Byzantine churches and ancient Minoan palaces. The Palace of Knossos is a fascinating archaeological site made up of a maze of hundreds of structures and rooms, some of which contain frescoes that offer a glimpse into life centuries ago. But it is the unique culture and distinctive local character of the Cretan people that keeps travellers booking holiday accommodation here year after year. Crete has long been known for its distinctive music, dance, language and food. It is said that the cuisine of Crete, which is rich in fruits, vegetables, olive oil, cheese, bread, herbs and wine, can aid in longevity. So discover the culture, history, and beauty of Crete, and who knows, you may even add years to your life.
