Crete is one of the best places to spend your summer vacations.

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.

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.

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!

Crete’s blog is a blog with one goal: to show its visitors the beauty of Crete and inform them for as much as possible. The authors of the website try to share information, post suggestions and tips for the people who are looking for vacations in Crete to learn about the magnificent island of Greece. We post articles sometimes after a search on the web gathering info, but most are from our personal experience, as most of us have visited the island more than once.

 

So now, in order to make the best blog for Crete even better, we invite you to comment our articles and share your thoughts, opinions and personal experiences (if you have visited Crete) with the rest of the site’s visitors. Also try giving helpful information, like places you visited and liked, or good hotels and villas.
