As the largest of over a thousand Greek islands, Crete offers a widely diverse set of opportunities to its visitors. If you’re looking for an ocean adventure, windsurfing and whale-watching might make the top of your list. If you prefer to explore inland, Crete is covered in huge mountains that tower over freshwater lakes and rivers, and are cut into massive gorges—ideal for even the most seasoned hiker. As an island ecosystem, Crete’s wildlife is abundant, with particularly incredible bird- and sea-life. Several islands close to Crete are easily accessed, too; while some of these are environmentally protected, many offer solitary escapes from the busier parts of Crete. While the mountains are snow-capped for much of the year, the beaches (including Europe’s only palm-tree forest beach) enjoy a warm and temperate climate. If your interest lies in ancient history, the well-known Heraklion Archeological Museum is located within easy distance, in the capital city of the island. Crete museums possess evidence of human settlement from 130,000 years ago, and many areas showcase some of the most ancient architecture in the world—most famously, the ruins of the Minoan palace Knossos. Other popular pastimes for tourists and locals include tennis, golf, cycling, volleyball, swimming, and a variety of nightlife activities, which typically involve plenty of dancing. For a more relaxing stay, you can always sit back and experience the delicious and healthy cuisine of the Mediterranean diet, accompanied by fine Greek wine. Every part of a Crete trip is facilitated by the locals, whose friendly and welcoming hospitality will make you feel at home.
