General Info

 

Crete island is the juel of the Mediterannean. It has clear, warm sea, boundless beaches, splendid plateaus and mild starry nights

The mountains slope gently to the north coast creating lush fertile plains and fantastic golden beaches, whilst to the south they plunge dramatically creating wild and rugged scenery.

Crete has the healthiest climate in the Mediterranean region; here you can swim from April and sometimes as late as the second week of December.


Whether it is the cosmopolitan nightlife or the romantic traditional settings, its troubled history or its rugged scenery, after a holiday here, you will want to return time and again to visit the places you have missed, only then you will realise that you have fallen in love with this island, and the love affair will continue for many years to come! Crete would have cast its magical spell on you, its memories etched on your mind forever!
