7Crete – The “Greek Island That Has Everything”

Americans love convenience and variety, and Crete serves both on a silver platter.

It’s practically a country of its own: ancient ruins, wild canyons, pink beaches, cosmopolitan cities, farm-to-table food, and villages where time seems frozen. Visitors often underestimate its size—then fall in love with its diversity. From Balos to Elafonisi to the Palace of Knossos, Crete offers a Greek-island experience that feels limitless.
