The biggest and the most diverse of Greek islands. We could only visit half of it (the eastern part) during our 8 days trip, but we hope to come back soon to visit the western part too...
So many things to see, the Minoan sites, beautiful sea and mountains, the nice villages of the interior, the old monasteries, the white churches, the impressive gorges, the great people and traditions.
We definitely preferred the southern coast because much less developed and touristic.

I must come back there for Hryssi island :) and other nature beauties of Crete, South of Crete is the real Greek island :) and real life of Greeks, not so touristy but wonderful for dreaming :)
Beautiful pictures!, lovely page :-)
Very excellent photography and many helpful tips. Your narratives capture your passion for the island and your perception about people and places.
You've really captured the local life in your Crete page!! Very nice photos and I enjoyed the commentary!
Gods, wind ... e ...come si chiamano gli involtini di riso in foglia di vite??? :-))))
Wonderful page, Gianluca! You made me "homesick" for Crete!!! Fantastic pics, really!
A beautiful place with great presentation and pictures. Speaking abouy Iraklion and Kritsa, it's remind me to a dear friend "Kyriakylos" :) I miss him a lot!!!
Wonderful WONDERFUL pictures & very good tips !! Grazie !
'Under construction' but already great to look at! Your photos are so beautiful! I'll be back when you have had time to finish the page! :-)
You've truly captured the spirit of Crete :-) Looking at your pics, makes me understand why is it that you expect that much of me:-) We are not all this talented:-)
