Crete

Landing in Crete felt like stepping into a sun-drenched dream. The island’s rugged landscapes, golden beaches, and charming villages instantly stole my heart. Wandering through Heraklion’s streets, I discovered vibrant local markets and tasted fresh Cretan delicacies like dakos and kalitsounia.

Exploring the ancient Palace of Knossos brought the legends of King Minos and the Minotaur to life. Hiking through Samaria Gorge offered serenity and adventure in equal measure. From sunsets on Elafonisi Beach to sipping raki in traditional tavernas, Crete blends history, nature, and warm hospitality.
