Unique History Behind
Crete is the biggest island in Greece and the home of the oldest civilization in Europe! The Minoan civilization existed between 3,200 and 1,450 BC; nowadays, scientists consider it to be among the most advanced ones for their time. It had well-developed buildings, pottery culture, the first drainage system, and extensive trade relationships in the Mediterranean. On top of that, Knossos, the capital of the Minoan civilization, is one of the oldest cities in all of Europe!
There’s even a legend that Icarus lived in Crete. Nowadays, there’s no need to make wings to fly since Crete is well connected to many international airports. This island even hosts two on its own: Heraklion and Chania. Excellent connectivity allows tourists to arrive conveniently and enjoy their stay, which is really heaven-like.
