Crete Tours with Urban Adventures
The Mediterranean’s fifth-largest island, and Greece’s largest, Crete is a remarkable mosaic of stunning gorges, rugged mountains, and beautiful beaches. With Europe to the north, Asia to the east, and Africa to the south, Crete has always been at the crossroads of civilisations, having been visited, conquered, and fought for, all while retaining its unique character and traditions. Crete’s famously healthy Cretan diet, picturesque towns and villages, and abundance of fortresses and monuments makes it an ideal place to travel for any traveller.
