The island of Crete is the site of the earliest known civilization in Europe: the Minoans.

The ancient city of Knossos, the most important archaeological site in Crete, is where King Minos ruled in 4000 BC. A late Bronze Age civilization, the Minoans were mind-blowingly advanced, with multi-floor buildings, intricate art… and even the Labyrinth – the actual place that gave us the word: an elaborate underground maze that, according to the stories, was the home of the Minotaur.

The passion of Cretans is famously depicted in the iconic Academy-Award-winning film Zorba the Greek. This island of proud, life-loving men and women has an unmistakable energy that every visitor can sense from the moment they arrive.

Discover it in every one of the myriad mountain or seaside villages where time stands still, as well as Agios Nikolaos, a gorgeous seaside town where you can see the fascinating Voulismeni sweetwater lagoon, sculptures of ancient mythology, and Instagram-worthy churches and monasteries.
