The biggest and maybe the most admirable characteristic of Crete is that it maintains its unique and authentic identity and culture. It is ready to offer you everything, to meet all your needs and fulfill any of your desires.

It’s a paradise on earth for every age, that can offer you experiences any time of the year which you won’t find anywhere else in the world.

Upon trying to convey the Cretan experience, you realize that words are not enough. You simply don’t know where to begin.

In Crete you will find the cosmopolitan Heraklion, with famous Knosos which will walk you through the streets of ancient history and take you to the age of antiquity, the old town of Chania with its gorgeous Venecian port, the full of stories lake of St. Nikolas, the picturesque Rethymno and the rich tradition and hospitality of the Cretans will stand out.  Exploring further, the adventurous traveler will meet the dreamy ciel beaches of Libyan sea, the local villages, the tall mountains hosting breathtaking canyons, amongst which we find the monumental canyon of Samaria, paths and roads leading to glades that suddenly open up to the  infinite sea.

You will visit Crete with your favorite camera always in your hand and the desire to lose yourself in your heart.

And later you will let yourself enjoy endless dips in shallow, blue-green, crystalline waters and precious carefree times on golden beaches, each more beautiful than the one you visited before.

In Crete you will come across Falasarna, with its clean and tropical beauty, the lake-sea of Balos with its pink sands owing its color to thousands of sea-shells, Elafonisi with its turquoise waters and extraordinary scenery, St. Galini with waters so clear you could see the sea-bottom without even getting your feet wet, Vai with its deep ciel waters and the largest palmtree forest in Europe, or perhaps another deserted hidden beach, too outlandish to even imagine.

And when your thirst for sea is quenched, you will relax in a small tavern to taste the distinguished and unique Cretan cuisine, the heart of the Mediterranean culinary way, characterized by dishes that overflow with history and authenticity, aromas of nature, recipes that have propagated through the eons, prepared with devotion and care.
