Traditions And Modernism: Crete Vacation
Crete is the most southern Greek island in the Aegean Sea. It is the largest Greek island and has a coastal line of 1000 km. Although the relief of the island is dominated by mountains, the charming beaches and the welcoming people attract
more than two millions tourists each year.
The majority of the tourist’s objectives are situated on the northern coast between Heraklion and Malia. The hotels and the restaurants spread like a necklace along the sandy beaches, but you will also have the chance to book an entire villa or an apartment.
The island offers all kinds of accommodations, from luxury hotels to camping areas. As for activities, besides sitting on the beaches, you can visit some of the historical monuments of the island. The majority of Crete tourists come here trough the
Heraklion International Airport. One of the greatest attractions is the Minoan site, the legendary place of the Labyrinth of the Minotaur. The old Venetian city is also a great place to spend some quality time with your lover, and if you want to see more interesting places, you can always take a boat to the surrounding islands of Chrysi, Spinalonga and Gramvousa.
Considering the latest problems in Greece, the prices have fallen dramatically. You could benefit from a complete 7 days, 5 stars vacation paying 50 % less than three years ago. For example, a double room at the Hotel Dolphin Bay 4* for 7 days costs 400 Euros, including the flight tickets from any European country, three meals a day and free drinks. You will also have local tourist assistance. Price does not include the airport fees, and they are pretty high in Crete (95 Euros/person). Hint: if you want to avoid this tax, you could take the boat from the main Greek island (from Lakonikos or Mirtoo), and the 100 km trip will surely be enjoyable and less expensive.
