Crete is a place with special things to do

This island is indeed one of the most unique ones. It serves all the kinds of things for leisure of business travelers to do. Either it is about getting pampered in one of the sunny beaches or organize a conference in one of the excellent hotels that are spread around it.

Exploring the mountains will offer new thrills and new excitements as the feeling and experiences change as you go up. Things go more wild but also the traveler will confront a unique type of hospitality from local people. One, that involves some drinking and strange taste experiences along with the gallantry of these proud people. The Cretans!

The island cannot be covered in one article and is indeed a huge island to go through and for many days of vacations or simply a way to return every year. You will not get bored of it. It is an entire topic with sub subjects by itself. For starters we will propose a list of 5 things that you need to do when you are in Crete.

Here it goes:

• Taste tsikoudia (local drink with spirit) with water melon slices. It’s a local treat and It will “explode” and melt in your mouth. Also, tsikoudia, is accompanied with a specific variety of local peanuts.
• Visit Knossos and Phaistos. For the lovers of archeology and seekers of secrets and the myths of Minotaur and Ariadne.
• Visit, stay and experience the nightlife of Chania. This city is unique. Especially the old town. Also, visit Elafonisi (great place/great beaches), Preveli (also great beaches) and Frangocastello (great vistas).
