Greece is known, amongst others, for its great number of islands. Many of them worth visiting and are considered as top destinations, such as Mykonos, Rhodes, Corfu and Paros (both in the Ionian Sea and the Aegean Sea). First of all, Crete is the biggest island
of Greece. This means that it has the most beaches of any other island. There are so many things to do while in Crete, as it combines sea and beaches with mountains and trails you will surely find amazing.
Another thing that is great about Crete is the way its citizens behave. Cretans are simple and peaceful, yet friendly and warm people with a great sense of hospitality. They always invite guests to have some rounds of their favorite drinks such as “tsikoudia” and “raki”. Do not deny to have a couple of drinks with them, it is considered an insult!
Crete is one of the most beautiful places of the Mediterranean. You should definitely spend some time there to see how the life is on this island and taste the local cuisine specialties. Witness a simple, yet exciting way of life and you will be looking forward to visiting Crete on your next chance!! Just a few days will convince you that is it more than worth the visit.
