About Crete

Holidays to Crete offer a truly unique experience, with its sandy beaches, stunning countryside and a wealth of myths and legends to explore. As the largest of the Greek Islands and fifth largest in the Mediterranean Sea, Crete has an impressive 650 miles of coastline to explore. From the cosmopolitan towns of Agios Nikolaos and Elounda in the Lassithi area, to the Blue Flag beaches and historical old town of Chania, and the family-friendly swathes of sand in the Rethymnon area, there's something for everyone. Not only does Crete boast incredible beaches, but it is also home to a rich history. It is credited with being the birthplace of modern civilisation, with evidence of this found at the Palace of Knossos in the Heraklion area. For those looking to explore the island's unspoilt scenery, Samaria Gorge is a must-see - the longest gorge in Europe, it's an hour's drive from Chania.

How big is Crete?

7th August 2020 by The Island Voyager

Crete is the largest of all the Greek islands and the 12th biggest island in Europe. In terms of area, it’s about one third the size of Sicily - the biggest island in the Mediterranean sea. To drive from one side of Crete to the other, from one of its famous beaches, Balos, to another, Vai, takes roughly 5 hours - about 340km.
