Crete
Useful information for tourists about the island of Crete in Greece
Crete is one of the largest islands of Greece. It is washed by three seas – the Ionian, Aegean and Mediterranean. The climate here is considered one of the mildest and healthiest in Europe. Along the coast of the island stretches a chain of resort villages. On the north coast of Crete, the water is warmer than on the south because of the passing current.
If you prefer a combination of holiday on the island with unforgettable excursions in the footsteps of ancient civilizations, the island of Crete is the best choice. Pleasant sandy beaches and calm blue turning into a light green sea – the characteristic colors of the Mediterranean – are a special incentive for relaxing relaxation under the hot sun. Villages and small towns surround mountains and valleys covered with vineyards or dense groves of citrus trees.
Crete offers unlimited opportunities for excellent rest in first-class hotels, resort villages or seaside complexes, bungalows with individual gardens, designed in such a way as not to disturb the purity and harmony of the surrounding nature.
