The iconic main city of the Minoan civilisation. An absolute must-see for anyone visiting the island.

More authentic than Knossos, this breath-taking palace is not to be missed. The ruins are said to be the most beautiful on the island.

Impressive ruins of the former main city of Crete with the remains of several temples and a Christian basilica.

Encircling the city, these walls remember much more than just the Venetians. Definitely visit if you're in the town.

Watch the animals up close – and if you feel daring, you might even get to hold a python. A must-visit if you don't fear reptiles.

Riding school and carriage rides. You can really tell the owners love what they do – the service is perfect. Do not miss.

Devoted to all the marine life you can find in the Mediterranean. An extraordinary and educative experience.

These unearthed remains of a Minoan palace are a splendid sight. The third largest Minoan complex on Crete. A must-see for history fans.

An amazing hidden gem of a Greek taverna. Everything here is deliciously fresh, and for very low prices. Definitely visit.

Devoted to the history of the island. The exhibits are devoted to a variety of topics from ancient coins to the Turkish rule.
