Your unforgettable holiday!

Wonderful landscapes. Splendid and evocative monasteries. Over 3000 caverns. Ancient ruins, of which the Palace of Knossos is a splendid testimony of the Minoan civilization. And, of course, absolutely unique and beautiful beaches and waters.

A holiday in Crete can be defined as truly complete. You will spend your days among the sea, sun, relaxation and lots of culture.

Crete is a truly incredible island. A place that, despite mass tourism, sometimes exasperating, manages to preserve the charm and traditions intact. As in the case of the hinterland, with small, picturesque villages that seem almost suspended in time; with fantastic natural springs; mountain ranges, whose peaks, in winter, are all covered with snow.

Get ready for a fantastic trip. A holiday that means above all discovery. A discovery that means, above all, contemplation. Because, this is really a magical island. A place to discover little by little. Appreciating history, culture and traditions. Maybe, sipping a good glass of Tsikoudia. Savoring tasty and fresh fish dishes. And, listening to good music.
