The island of Crete is very large, so it is virtually impossible to see the entire island in a single holiday. Crete offers everything from beautiful sands to pebble coves and breathtaking cliffs and according to greek mythology Crete was also the home of the Minotaur!. Crete is also soaked in aegean sun and dotted with ancient ruins, little villages, perfect places to party and romantic locations such as Aghios Nikolaos and Elounda. The island of Crete was the hub of the Minoan civilisation dating back around 4600 years. On the inland fringe of Iraklion you can find the ruins of the historic Minoan palace of Knossos. The Minoan palace of Phaestos lies a few miles inland from the town of Matala on the south coast. The boulder strewn Samaria Gorge, situated at the western side of Crete, is extremely renowned for walking, however please note that the Samaria Gorge offers a serious trek from the hills to the sea. The lengthy summer months in Rethymnon also promises sunshine if you can get away for a week for a holiday at Hotel Minos.
