Summer in Crete

Monday, June 30th, 2008

vacations in Crete Greece

Crete is one of the best places to spend your summer vacations.
Especially during the summer, the period for which Greece is famous, Crete is the place to be.

Visit Crete during the next two months, July and August, and you will see why it is considered a top destination. The island provides everything someone would want to do during their vacations: sports, water sports facilities, gorgeous mountainous areas with endless trails, green forests, beaches with the famous Greek crystal clear seawater and, of course, the Cretan food and cuisine specialties. Taste the Cretan food, made with traditional Greek ingredients like virgin olive oil and feta cheese, and you will definitely be delighted.

If, on the other hand, you prefer to relax on your vacations, Crete is also great in the end of the summer season, during September and in the first days of October. Better prices, as the high season has ended and a nice, peaceful island waiting for you.

Enjoy your stay in Crete, no matter the season you choose to visit the beautiful Greek island and you will remember these vacations for the rest of your life.

Mountainous Crete

Crete is not only known for its sandy beaches with the crystal clear seawater. Greece is famous for its combinations when it comes to landscapes and Crete is not any different.

The island has several mountainous areas which provide perfect trails for your walks and excursions. The green forests will give you all the energy you need and will revive your body and spirit. The view from several spots of these high altitude areas is just amazing and takes your breath away.

The highest mountain of Crete is Psiloritis. Villages around the mountain are Pano riza, Miloviza, Orino Malevizi and Milopotamos so check them out, you just might see something interesting. To learn more about the mountain, visit a page dedicated to it by clicking here.

Crete’s mountainous areas are as exciting as its seaside areas. Go anywhere on the island with a vehicle from Car Hire Crete, the agency with the moder fleet and the satisfied clients. Rent a 4×4 off road car and all mountainous areas will be your playground!

Limnoupolis Water Park

Wednesday, June 4th, 2008

In my opinion, visiting a water amusement park and spending your whole day there is one of the best things you can do during your holidays. There are two major water parks in Greece and one of them is situated in Crete.

Just about 9km away from Chania, you will find the amazing Limnoupolis, the biggest water park in the country and one of the best of Europe. Modern facilities that offer all you ever imagined doing on water. There are easy and relaxing routes while others may be fast and excite you, making your adrenaline rise more and more. Water slides for young and adults that promise a day different, which you will always remember.

Crete may have beaches worth seeing and crystal-clear seawater, but the experience of these water slides and all those beautiful swimming pools is not something you should miss. Fun guaranteed!
