With all it’s mythology, a wonderful history and having more attractions than any other Greek Island, sightseeing in Crete cannot be beaten.

Crete has many places of historical interest, The Palace of Knossos, the Cave of Zeus, located on the slopes of Mount Ida, the Monastery of Arkadi just south of Rethymno, the remains of Gortyna 45km from Heraklion, and Phaistos in the south, which was destroyed by an earthquake in the late Bronze Age and later rebuilt. The Archaeological Museum and Historical Museum of Crete in Heraklion are well worth a visit.

The glorious sandy beaches on Crete are lovely and clean and the surrounding scenery is breathtaking with beautiful mountains and gorges. The Samaria Gorge National Park in Chania is a walkers’ paradise.
