Crete, with the surface approximately of the same size as Corsica, is the largest of the Greek islands. Mountains dominate the landscape, while deep gorges literally cut across them (as the Lefka Ori, Psiloritis, Dikti) before reaching the fertile valleys. Hence, there is a constant variation in the landscape, from forested to green and quiet.
Enter the rhythms of Crete and start to discover this island which is considered the cradle of the western world.
