Crete’s cardinal cities include Heraklion, Chania, lerapetra, Rethymno, Sitia and Agios Nikolaos. The democratic tourist sites of Crete are the classical site of Gortys, Minoan sites of Knossos and Phaistos, the Venetian castle in Rethymno, and the Samaria Gorge, as well as many other natural sites, beaches and monuments.

For the noetic lover Crete has ample to offer. Amidst the intricate dilapidations of The Palace of Knossos, the mind gets lost in severe mentations. It is interesting to know that the palace is believed to have been the abode of the monstrous Minotaur, a half-man half-bull creature that ravened young virgins. The Venetian Fortezza is a splendid 16th century fortress which exhibits the perfect merging of medieval European and Moorish architecture and is truly a gorgeous visual.

The Samaria Gorge stretching for more than 10 miles to the south coastal region and located at a distance of 43 km from Chania, is one of the longest and most stately gorges in Europe which offers some breathtaking sights and adequate scope for hiking. In 1962 the Samaria Gorge was declared a National Park due to its great environmental value. It is noteworthy that the indigenous variety of Cypress trees of this one time forest was used to construct columns for the Minoan Palaces of Phaistos and Knossos. The Clapping Gorge is also a fascinating gorge encircled by craggy cliffs and dense forests.

For a comprehensive knowledge of the history of the Crete, you must definitely visit The Archaeological Museum, which has a unique assemblage of artifacts that date back to the ancient civilizations that once inhabited the island. The Historical Museum of Crete, Historical and Folk Art Museum and Iraklion’s Archeological Museum are the other important museums of Crete. A very interesting museum is the Homo Sapiens Museum which is actually a thematic park illustrating man’s struggle for survival through the centuries.

A popular tourist spot is the birthplace of the Greek God, Zeus, the Diketon Cave. Apart from being an enthralling underground cave, it is also a principal religious and cultural centre. The desire for a quiet walk with your beloved might lead you down Loutro, a scenic walking trail and the decision to rejuvenate yourself would definitely take you to Royal Mare Thalasso, the Spa centre. A major attraction of Crete is the Aquaworld Aquarium, a “hand- made” aquarium featuring local sea-life but it can also boast of Burma, the rock python, Snap, the young Nile crocodile, and Stephania, the blind Green Turtle as its occasional visitors.

Crete has a fabulous compendium of luxury hotels, villas and inns that can add finesse to your Valentine Vacation.
