Crete Travel Tips
Crete Travel Tips
Crete rewards people who know where to look. The tourist infrastructure around the major resorts tells only part of the story — the best of the island is in the places between those anchor points: the mountain villages, the south coast coves, the local markets, the tavernas that do not have a menu in English because they have never needed one.
The articles in this section approach Crete from a long-term resident's perspective rather than a two-week visitor's. The tips are practical, based on actual experience, and aimed at getting more out of the island than the standard circuit.
