Crete – the southernmost island in
Europe has “everything”! Its bountiful variety of features includes
mountain villages, long sandy beaches, rocky bays, beach-bar-boogie
& nightlife. There are magnificent mountain ranges, water-sports,
tranquil locations and clean swimmable seas. Bathed in clear
sunlight much of the year, the climate is one of the best in Europe.
The largest island in Greece, it is understandably a most popular
travel and vacation destination.
Crete also has a magic radiance – truly! There is the supreme
quality of the light here, the sharp rugged mountains meeting openly
with clear seas. There is an abundance of wildlife, plants & flowers
that are unique to the island. Breath in the ever-present scents of
wild herbs, taste fresh fruit, the best of the world’s olive oil and
healthy, delicious cheeses. Enjoy the delight of sipping a Greek
coffee at the roadside in a mountain village, the excitement and
spillover of weddings and occasions, the history, the people and the
world-sourced visitors. It is also a historian's and archaeologist's
paradise.
Crete has a people noted for and conspicuous in their hospitality
and tradition of welcoming visitors. The traditions and culture
offered in music, art, food and crafts play a large part in this
picture. It combines European ways with the uniquely local.
Because Crete is the largest of the Greek islands, it offers both
developed tourist areas with resort hotels and also quiet coves,
hidden beaches and invigorating mountain villages and plateaus that
reward the discerning world traveller. Wondrous moments, those
memorable combinations of time & place that provide you with
