Crete – Visit Rethymno
I went to Rethymno without really knowing what to expect,
and it was a great visit!
Highly recommended!
Crete – Where is Rethymno
Rethymno is located 80 km from Heraklion,
so it’s quite far, but it’s worth visiting!
Crete – Rethymno Lighthouse
Not a spectacular sunset, but still a nice moment to see the Rethymno Lighthouse.
Crete – Rethymno
Rethymno is a nice and interesting city on Crete.
Crete – Go Outside
If you want to “go outside”, I mean outside Crete, then visit Santorini.
You can have a day trip or even longer, if you have time.
I used to thought, Santorini is the most beautiful Greek island.
But I see how it’s getting more and more crowded,
plus my Greek friend convinced me that other islands are more beautiful,
so now I even think that Crete is much more interesting than Santorini.
Well, we’re changing all the time. 😀
Crete – Colors of Crete
I know, the sea is not visible here,
but I still call it “sunny colors of Crete”. 🙂
Crete – Souvenirs
If you like buying souvenirs, you’ll find some nice items on Crete,
and even made in Crete. 😉
Crete – Water
Of course, enjoy also water while being on Crete. 😉
Crete – Knossos
Knossos is located about 5 km from Heraklion.
Don’t miss it while being on Crete.
Crete – Knossos Archaeological Site
Knossos is a large archaeological site on Crete.
One of the must-see places on the island!
Crete – Phaistos Disc
The mysterious “Phaistos Disk” can be also seen in the Heraklion Archaeological Museum.
You’ll find there lots of ancient treasure.
Crete – Heraklion Archaeological Museum
Don’t miss a wonderful attraction of Heraklion – Heraklion Archaeological Museum!
It’s such a great museum!
Crete – Iraklion
Heraklion is also called Iraklion.
Crete – Heraklion
Heraklion is a busy city with a few tourist attractions (e.g., the Venetian fortress).
It’s also an important port.
But you can still find there places to relax.
Crete – Capital
Heraklion is a capital city of Crete.
Crete – Cats
Is there any Greek island with no cats? 😉
Crete – Tourism
Crete is a very touristic island.
Everyone can find something nice, including luxury, hiking, budget and even nice, calm areas.
The island is big enough to provide enough space for everyone – at least that was my impression from 10 years ago.
Crete – Large Greek Island
Crete is the largest Greek island.
Crete – Introduction
Welcome September, welcome Crete!
This month we’ll spend on this nice Greek Island. 🙂
