The main attractions of Crete are the incredible golden sands and turquoise waters of the Mediterranean, but Crete is also an important Minoan archaeological site, impressive gorges, beautiful towns with Venetian ports and fortresses and home to small coastal towns where you can hide. in the peaceful rhythm of life. The dreamy beach of Elafonisi is another must-see during a Crete holiday. Elafonisi is located on the south coast of Crete and has beautiful light blue waters and pink sand making it one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Elafonisi Beach is a nature reserve on the passage between the mainland and Elafonisi, a rectangular island known for Elafonisi Beach and its pink sand on the dunes. The water between the mainland and the islands is clear, shallow, and lagoon-like, and you can often walk between the sandbars without getting your feet wet. Vai Beach is something not to be missed on the largest island of Greece as it is one of the most beautiful beaches in Crete. Just outside Knossos, the Palace of Knossos once served as the political centre of the Minoans, who created the first advanced civilization in Europe. Phaistos, the second largest Minoan palace in Crete after Knossos, is in a dramatic location on high ground above the plain of Messara in south central Crete. The Minoan Palace of Knossos is the second most visited archaeological site on the Greek island of Crete, just after the Parthenon in Athens, and one of the largest archaeological ruins in Europe. Knossos is the largest Bronze Age archaeological site in Crete and is considered the oldest city in Europe. This archaeological site located in the south of Crete is a wonderful place to visit to see the archaeological site. Like many of the amazing ruins I have seen throughout Greece, in Athens and the island of Cyprus, Knossos is a fascinating place to visit and explore. For a better understanding of the mysterious Minoan past, visit the Heraklion Archaeological Museum in the centre of the island's capital. Even though Heraklion is considered by many to be the gateway to Crete, Heraklion offers much more than the Archaeological Palace of Knossos and the Archaeological Museum of Heraklion. There are so many unique experiences to fill your day in Crete, Greece. Cruise ships, theme parks, hiking trails, historical sites, beaches and more, the choice of activities in Crete is utterly amazing.

Undeniably one of the best things to do in Crete thanks to the warm and clear waters of Preveli Palm Beach; the famous Hutt Rock; and its location at the mouth of the Kourtaliotikos canyon.
