Crete was our 2nd favorite place during our trip. We loved the island, the beach, the people, and we had the most beautiful and welcoming hotel. We spent 1 day in Iraklion, the main city, but the majority of the time was spent lounging at the pool, walking/hiking to the beach and eating at some delicious restaurants. Overall, we loved our visit in Crete.

The Venetian Fortress in Iraklion. Crete is in the center of 4 major continents, the U.S., Europe, Asia, and Africa therefore it was a very important military base. The island of Crete was owned by Italy for a long time (thus the title of the fortress) and it remains an important island in the area.
