Crete
What makes Crete so special, is a unique combination of natural beauty, history, culture and tradition. From the impressive palaces of Cnossos and Festos till the inaccessible ravines and the wild beauty of the Samaria gorge and from the quiet and desserted coasts of Libyan sea till the busy sandy beaches of the north coast of the island, Crete is challenging the visitor to explore it. The contrast is a rule on this island.
