Snowcapped mountains. Sandy beaches backed by palms. Turquoise-blue lagoons. Home of the ancient Minoans, a creative people who built their palaces here some 4,000 years ago. This is Crete, an extraordinary island that rises from the Mediterranean Sea south of mainland Greece. With Eyewitness Top 10 Crete, its yours to explore.
The Minoans, who never developed an army since they had no enemies, are considered the worlds first leisure civilization. So it seems appropriate that today, each summer, tens of thousands of holiday-makers flock to their island to bask in blissful sunshine and carefree escapism. Nowadays, visitors are attracted by Cretes golden sands and glistening waters, the informal seafood tavernas and hospitable locals, and the magnificent Venetian-era port cities of Irakleio, Chania and Rethymno.
Others come here to trace Cretes history and culture to explore the timeless archaeological sites of Ancient Knossos, Gortys, Phaistos and Gournia, and to visit the fascinating Irakleio Archaeological Museum and the melancholic Moni Arkadiou. Adventurous outdoor enthusiasts are drawn to Cretes wild and dramatic unspoiled interior. They visit to hike the length of the Samaria Gorge or to cycle through the Amari Valley at the foot of Mount Idi. The foodies among them stop off at farm-shops, wineries and traditional tavernas to taste and buy wholesome local produce.
Whether youre staying for a weekend or a week, our Top 10 guide brings together the best of everything that Crete can offer, from Ancient Knossos to the romantic harbour town of Chania. The guide gives you tips throughout from seeking out whats free to avoiding the crowds plus five easy-to-follow itineraries, designed to help you visit a clutch of sights in a short space of time. Add inspiring photography and detailed maps, and you have the essential pocket-sized travel companion. Enjoy the book, and enjoy Crete.
