Best of Crete
For a person aiming to savor the best of Crete, the primary attraction should be Knossos. Knossos contains the ruins of the palace of King Minos, of the Minoan civilization, where he kept his legendary Minotaur in a labyrinth. A visit to Phaistos and the archaeological museum in Heraklion should round off the tour nicely.
A tour to the gorge of Samaria is a must. Ridden with valley and caves, it is a paradise for exquisite flora and fauna. The Elafonisos and Matala beaches are two of the most scenic beaches of Crete.
A taste of food and drink and Greek folk music should give one a complete conception about Crete. Tsikoudia is the the trademark of Cretan life, a strong clear drink similar to Grappa in Italy or Orujo in Spain. Stifado Salingariko - snail stew is a specialty, and cheeses like Anthotiros(spring cheese), Graviera(hard cheese) and Myzitra(made from ewe’s milk).
Crete is famed for its casual, sporty nightlife. Endless parties go on in taverns, fraternity dances, bars, nightclubs, lounges, and discos. The music covers a variety of scenes – from the 40’s pop to twenty first century dance tunes, metal and hip hop. The lists of these venues are by no means exhaustive. Heraklion and Agios Nikloas are more well-known and crowded areas.
