The most populated of Greece’s 6000 islands, Crete holds the top spot for reason. It is simply lovely! From the breathtaking mountain vistas of Psiloritis to the beaches of Vai, which look like a scene straight out of Hawaiian postcard, Crete offers something for everyone. Do not miss the stunning architectural wonders left behind by Venetian and Turkish inv, such as Kales Castle, the Venetian Loggia and arsenals, and the house of Baroness Von. However Heraklion is perhaps best known as the gateway to the breathtaking 4,-year-old Mino ruins at Knossos and the famous windmills stretched across the Lassithi Plateau.
