Why go
Minoan palaces, mountain landscapes and Venetian old towns require a trip planned independently of Athens. Heraklion and Chania offer different bases on Greece's largest island. Crete links both observations directly. At Crete, trace their relationship. Crete then explains its distinct role. Let Crete set the pace before your next stop.
