Crete, the largest island in Greece, is nestled in the southern part of the Aegean Sea, bridging the gap between Africa, Asia, and Europe. Renowned for its vibrant beaches with crystal-clear waters like Elafonissi and Balos, it promises an ideal Mediterranean getaway. The island is steeped in history, famed as the birthplace of the Minoan civilization, Europe's earliest recorded civilization, which comes alive in palaces such as Knossos and Phaistos. Crete's stunning natural beauty includes the awe-inspiring Samaria Gorge, and its cuisine, abundant with mouth-watering seafood and locally sourced wines, mirrors the richness of its cultural heritage. The hospitable locals, famous festivals, and traditional music in quaint Cretan villages add the final charming touch to this unique island.

Crete

I would recommend to plan your activities beforehand, I definitely spend to much time on trying to decide what to do!

Every local i met was pretty friendly so no need for worries if you don’t know where you are or if you need to some inspiration on what to do, just ask around :)

The food where nearly everywhere amazing BUT if you wanna get ice cream search for a local place, all those „pretty“ tourist spots aren’t that good.

I always felt safe. There were no instances where I felt my safety was in jeopardy, and the people were kind. There was good food and interesting activities, and it was not as expensive as I expected for Europe.
