Crete

Crete, Greece’s largest island and the fifth-largest in the Mediterranean, is a world unto itself, with a thousand faces and a rich tapestry of histories. A true crossroads between Europe, Africa and the East, it possesses a strong identity, shaped over the centuries by the successive civilisations that have called it home.

From rugged mountains to beaches with turquoise waters and traditional villages, Crete reveals landscapes of incredible diversity: whitewashed houses, vast olive groves stretching as far as the eye can see, small harbours and steep paths. Every corner of the island seems to tell a story.
