Introduction

Standing at the crossroads of three continents and at the heart of many classical myths, Crete is part of Greece but also boasts its own unique history and character. Throughout the island, tiny villages share their traditions and maintain the unique cultural feeling this island has. In this suggested itinerary, soak up the sun in a relaxing, adults-only resort where the land meets the sea. Trek through Europe’s longest gorge and visit Crete’s most iconic landmark, Elafonisi beach. After seven days of incredible food, gorgeous scenery and sunny weather, you will have fallen head over heels for this little island.
