The island of Crete is one of the largest islands in the Mediterranean, and the largest and most populous island belonging to Greece. While contributing mightily to the culture and economy of Greece, Crete has its own unique traditions, dialect, and arts culture, making it worthy of a visit. A stay on the island would not be complete without staying in the many traditional Crete villas. However those who prefer the city life can find an apartment in Crete just as comfortable. Crete’s temperate climate, mountainous regions, and long coastline are perfect for nature lovers. For city dwellers, the cities of Heraklion, Chania, and Lassithi are beautiful villages which are all home to beautiful old mansions, mosques and old Ottoman baths, as well as a variety of other sights. Following a visit to Crete look to stay in stay in equally beautiful Rhodes or try a weekend break trip to the Greek capital Athens.
