Crete, the southernmost of the Greek
islands, is popular with tourists from
across the globe for its rugged mountainous
scenery inland; it's beautiful coastal towns
and beaches, and typical Greek culture.
Visitors are drawn to Crete year-round;
because of its southerly position Crete
benefits from a warm, temperate climate -
you can comfortable lie on Crete's beaches
and sunbathe from April until October!

offer, explore the tiny traditional villages
inland or visit the ancient Minoan palace of
