Location

Crete is the largest of the Greek islands and the fifth largest in the Mediterranean Sea. It used to be the centre of the Minoan civilization, which is the oldest civilization in Europe.

The island of Crete is a periphery of Greece, consisting of four prefectures: Chania, Heraklion, Lasithi & Rethymno. Heraklion or Iraklion, is the largest city and the capital of the island.

There are a multitude of tourist attractions across Crete! The most famous are probably the archaeological sites at Knossos, Phaistos, Gortys. However, many other places, such as the Venetian castle in Rethymno, the Samaria Gorge and many other minor gorges (Agia Irini, Aradena, etc), are also of interest.
