Things to do Together

Crete is an island of outstanding natural beauty. Don’t miss out on a visit to one of the 13 breathtaking gorges – such as Samaria Gorge – or the splendid plateau landscapes such as Lassithi.

Giouchtas was the sacred mountain of the Minoans, offering a natural observation post with breathtaking views. If you visit during springtime, look out for 17 different species of orchid, and nesting vultures.

Another must-see is the old city of Heraklion with its pretty Venetian harbour. Quaint streets, neo-classical houses, traditional tavernas and flower-filled courtyards abound.

To the north of the island is the Rouvas oak forest, boasting many endemic species of flora and fauna.
