Explore Crete island

welcome to Crete in GREECE

Crete is a place apart – not just another Greek island, more like a separate country Crete (Krete) lies on the same latitude as Tunisia with the same baking hot summers, but here pleasantly tempered by breezes from the sea. The land is infinitely varied – mountain ranges rise up to 8,000 feet, Europe’s deepest gorge winds for twelve miles through rock walls at times 1,000 feet high, and countless beaches lead to a clear blue sea. Add to these high alpine meadows, well watered plains and valleys, a rich archaeology, and flora and fauna as yet largely unthreatened and you have a country worth a visit in Crete island in Greece.

Istron is well removed from the touristic honeypots nearer the airport. Halfway around the splendidly scenic Gulf of Mirabello on the north-east coast, here Crete’s perennial charms - magnificent mountains, traditional inland villages and a sparkling open sea - are to the fore. Go east, high above the sea to the small market town of Sitia, west to Heraklion, Knossos Palace and the museum, south for a different mood and miles of beach, inland to the high plateau of Lassithi, or simply discover a minoan site or Byzantine chapel. For a change take a boat trip to Spinalonga.   ... more about eastern Crete

Paleochora is the only settlement of any size here. With a crumbling Venetian fortress above and a Blue Flag beach to each side (one pebble, one sand), a winding drive through the mountains is the only way in other than by sea.
