Enjoy the island, Crete - Vocation 2024-2025 on Crete

1. Crete is not an easy place to see if it's your first time. Don't try to see everything during your first stay.
2. Pay attention to distance. A lot of guests have in mind "island" and not checking the hours of driving from one point to another.

3. Between big towns on Crete the distance is 1 hour. So if you look at the map you can easily count that Agios Nikolaos-Chania =3 hours at least.

4. Don't look at the km and miles. Look for a time it will take you.

5. If you are renting a car, before going far to see some beach look at the weather and the wind power exactly there. On Crete, the weather is different in the South, West, East and North.

6. What is Crete about? Nice beaches, archaeological places, old monasteries, mountain villages, wineries,  gastro places, fishing villages, gorges ( about 400), cosy towns, local taverns and MORE THAN EVERYTHING - wonderful people!

7. So, if you plan your day, try not to go only to one beach or one village. Make your itinerary include villages to see, taverns to eat, wineries to drink, beaches to swim and history sites to visit.

8. If you are in the east part of Crete try to explore that part as much as possible.  The same for the West and so on. Don't need to run for all tourist attractions.

9. For families with kids: Amazonas Park, Reptisland,  Local Farms ( Kamihis for example) Water parks, Aquarium,  Lake Kournas, and Mythology Park on Plateuo Lassithi. Melodoni, Sfedoni, Zeus caves.

10. Don't be afraid to be lost. Local people with always help and by being lost you can discover sth beautiful or some tasty place or you can find friends for life:)

Enjoy the island, Crete!
