Crete is massive, so it is virtually impossible to see the entire island in a single holiday. The island of Crete has got the whole gamut from beautiful beaches to stoney coves and dramatic cliffs and it is also the legendary home of the Minotaur!. Crete is literally drenched in aegean sun and littered with ancient ruins, tiny villages, places to party and romantic locations such as Elounda and Aghios Nikolaos. The aegean island of Crete was the centre of the Minoan civilisation which dates back over 4600 years. On the inland fringe of Iraklion you can find the ruins of the ancient Minoan city of Knossos.
