Description

Crete is the largest of the Greek islands, located to the southeast of the mainland, and surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea. The southernmost island in the Mediterranean Sea has views from the mountains which are unrivalled ~ look north to the Aegean, east to Cyprus and south to the northern coast of Africa on a clear day. Bathed in clear sunlight for much of the year, the climate is one of the best in Europe. Whether high in the mountains, or winding along the amazing variety of coastal roads, the supreme quality of the light gives Crete a magic radiance. There is an abundance of wildlife, plants and flowers that are unique to the island.

Crete is 260 km long and 60 km at its widest point. The island is divided into four prefectures of Chania, Rethymno, Iraklio, and Lasithi. It is an island full of contrasts. The north coast is the main tourist area of Crete and all big cities are located there:

Chania : Formerly the capital of the island, with a population of 70.000, Chania has retained the Court of Appeal, Crete's highest judicial authority and is also now the home of the new University of Crete. This most poetic city, built on the ruins of ancient Kidonia, has seen and survived many invaders. These civilizations have left their signatures on building facades, castles, walls, antiquities, monasteries and churches.
