Sο, here are 9 things you must do while vacationing on the island of Crete:

1️⃣Hike through a gorge. Crete is not just about the sea, but also about the breathtaking mountains and wild nature! 

2️⃣Visit a traditional village to enjoy freshly brewed coffee, stroll along winding streets, and meet hospitable colorful locals. 

3️⃣See one of the best beaches in Europe - Balos, Elafonisi or Falassarna.

4️⃣Get lost in the picturesque streets of old Rethymno or beautiful Chania and fall in love with them forever. 

5️⃣See Crete from the water - go on a yacht, catamaran, or boat. It's a completely different experience. 

6️⃣In a mountain village, taste moussaka or grilled lamb, and in a coastal tavern, order the freshest seafood - grilled octopus, squid, or fish. 

7️⃣Visit deserted tiny beaches, even those not marked on the map. It's a special vibe.

8️⃣Even if you're not particularly religious, visit at least one monastery. Usually, they are located in such harmonious places that you feel calm and blessed inside. 

9️⃣Drive on a mountain serpentine road, get stuck in a traffic jam of sheep, get off track and find yourself in an olive/orange/lemon grove.

By completing these 9 activities during your vacation, you will NEVER say that Crete didn't impress you and that you don't want to come back .
