You can of course also 'hop' within one island. The great charm is that you get to see several parts of an island in a certain amount of time. You will miss the ferry that makes the picture complete, but if you really want a ferry, we can plan one for you.

Crete

Crete is the largest island in Greece and you need a few weeks to get to know it well. Crete is known to many for the youngsters in Malia & Chersonissos, but there is so much more! Crete is an island full of surprises, from green paradises to beaches that would not be out of place in the Caribbean, from quiet fishing villages to high mountain villages where time seems to have stood still and old ladies in black still determine the streets. Crete has many excavations, active highlights such as the Samaria Gorge (longest gorge in Europe) and picturesque places. Come along and experience the real Crete.

Below you will find the places we can offer you on Crete. You can determine the duration of your stay yourself.
