The largest of the Greek islands, Crete or Kriti is popular with both Greek and foreign tourists.   A mountainous island, it has several gorges with walks and good views.  Like everywhere else in Greece, tourism is important.  Visitors will find plenty of resorts, long sandy beaches, cafes and restaurants.  A drive along coastal roads provides breathtaking views of the azure seas.

The ancient Minoan civilisation lies revealed in the ruins of its palaces.  In common with all other parts of Greece, this is where myths and legends come alive.  Discover if this is where King Midas of 'the golden touch' lived, or where the Minotaur roamed underground labyrinths and devoured young people.  On a pleasanter note, did you know that bananas grow in Crete?  Lots to see and discover.
