Featured Destinations

Iraklion

Iraklion

Iraklion is the biggest city in Crete (and fifth in Greece) with a population in excess of 120000. It concentrates most of the economical activity of the island, and is the main port of entry to Crete for the majority of visitors.

History is very much alive in Iraklion just like in most Greek cities. The central square while surrounded by cafes, stores and restaurants, is dominated by the fountain of the Lions, built by Morozini the venetian governor in 1628.

The Town Hall, is today housed in the Venetian Loggia, a building from the same era. The Central Market Koubes At the end of the central market is a coffee house, housed at the "Koubes" a fountain built by the Turks when they converted the nearby church of the Saviour to the Valide mosque. All around the old part of the city ,a visitor can walk following the old Venetian walls that meet at a bastion, called "Koules", that dominates the old harbour of the city.

Loutro
Agia Roumeli

Agia Roumeli

Located in the southwest of Crete, Greece, Agia Roumeli is tucked between picturesque high wild mountains, and the crystal blue breathtaking Libyan Sea beach. This area of Crete holds rare flora, fauna and geology, which can be seen at the Samaria Gorge National Park; also found in the park are the ruins of the temple of Apollo Tarraeus.
Chania

Chania

The beautiful town of Chania is where modern, Venetian, Turkish and traditional architecture are blended together to make this one of the most picturesque towns in Crete.  Various archaeological sites, villages, churches, caves, gorges and wonderful beaches are embellishing the charming area. It is worth a visit to the Archeological museum that is housed in the Venetian church of St. Fragiskos and exhibits important finds from the Neolithic and Minoan period to the late Roman.
