Crete

A feast for the senses, Crete is a charismatic island in the beautiful Mediterranean teeming with treasures
that you will need a lifetime to discover. Crete Island is known for its dreamy villages; wild natural beauty,
which ranges from fine-sand beaches to the rugged snow-dabbed mountains; ancient treasures and mouth-
watering cuisine. Crete is quite relaxed and laid-back, and there's plenty to see and do. Wander around the
maze-like alleys of the Old Town with its beautiful mansions, fountains and well-preserved historical
monuments. As you explore the island you will discover remnants of Roman and Turkish architecture,
ancient Minoan ruins, sheer cliffs and deep gorges with outstanding vistas for hiking. One of the best hiking
trails with great views is around Balos Lagoon. Leave time to relax on the sandy beach, kayak or snorkel in
the warm waters. If you’re a foodie, you will have your slice of heaven in Crete. The rural tavernas make
their own meat, cheese and wine. Chania is also a great place for seafood. The luxury villas in Crete Island
offer absolute privacy, security and tranquillity making them ideal for anyone seeking a relaxing summer
retreat.
