WELCOME TO CRETE

Mikis Theodorakis:

" When I was first in Crete,
I was surrounded by an atmosphere,
which I had never felt before.
It was close and sparkling -
a light out of this world. "

Crete, the island of surprises and contrasts. High mountains dissected by deep gorges, ancient archaeological sites alongside traditional villages where life continues in a relaxed and friendly way, clear blue seas bordered by golden sandy beaches. Zeus, the god of Greek gods, was born in a cave on Mount Idi (Psiloritis), the highest mountain. He represented hospitality and his spirit lives on today in the hearts of all Cretan people.
