However, Crete is the largest island in Greece - the fifth largest in the Mediterranean - and, within its varied area of more than 8,000 square kilometers, there are many other surprises just waiting to be discovered by the more adventurous explorers of holiday treasures.
If you haven’t visited Crete yet, this summer may be the time to come and discover this fascinating Greek island. If it captures your heart, don’t worry. Come back next year and Crete will welcome you once more with its shining Cretan sun, the sounds of the Cretan lyre, the scents of orange blossom and jasmine, and a slice of cool red watermelon and a glass of iced raki.
