A Valentine Vacation is a call for enjoyment and repose at the same time. A proper fusion of the two is indeed a rarity and can only be experienced in Crete, one of the best holiday destinations of Greece. 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. The ancient ambience of Crete indeed paves the way for intense cerebrations and also liberates the mind into a relaxed zone, simultaneously.
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.
