Beautiful Beaches and Coastal Living
Beach days are part of the appeal of Crete’s northern coast. Enjoy a refreshing swim, find a spot in the sunshine or take a leisurely stroll beside the sea. With cafés and tavernas along the coast, there’s always a reason to pause, take in the view and enjoy the moment.
Discover Crete’s History
There’s plenty to discover beyond the beach. Explore the Palace of Knossos, steeped in the legend of the Minotaur, or spend time in Heraklion discovering the island’s fascinating past. Traditional villages offer another side of Crete, where a coffee in the square and a friendly welcome are part of everyday life.
