Tasteful pools, Mediterranean spas and gourmet restaurants serving the finest Greek cuisine - in Crete's 5-star hotels, enjoyment comes first. For example, in Chania, Venetian port city in the northwest of the island. Winding alleys and hidden tavernas create a romantic ambience here. In the well-kept former fishing village of Agios Nikolaos, on the other hand, you can enjoy a wonderful day of shopping. Culture lovers should of course visit the ruins of Knossos, but the imposing fortress in Rethymnon is also worth a visit.
