Crete, the largest island in Greece and the fifth largest in the Mediterranean, is a land of incredible diversity, rich history, and breathtaking natural beauty. Located at the crossroads of Europe, Africa, and Asia, Crete offers a unique blend of ancient ruins, charming villages, stunning beaches, and vibrant cities.
