Crete is the southernmost boundary of Greece. It’s the biggest island of the country. It consists of four prefectures: Chania, Rethymno, Heraklion and Lasithi. Locals but also visitors in this island admit that there is something special about it.
You will feel it the moment you will arrive! The marks that Venetian occupation left (castles, fortresses) create a poetic atmosphere. The green plains full of olive trees and vineyards as well as the mountains that exist in every prefecture represent the image of the Cretan nature.

Tradition is a very important part of Crete, that’s why you will find many taverns, traditional shops with local products etc.
Nevertheless, Crete attracts many people who love luxury and glamour.

There are so many facilities that you can enjoy, even when you come just for a while or for business. Great conference centers for those who want to work in a pleasant place with a fabulous view. Most hotels are situated at beautiful beaches or in small hills full of greenery.
