The Island of
Crete
Few islands can
compete with Crete’s ancient sites, mix of Mediterranean cultures and
spectacular physical beauty. Europe’s first civilization, the Minoan,
evolved on Crete some 3,500 years ago, and today we see such treasures as
labyrinth-like palace with 1,300 rooms still standing at Knossos, as well
as fine Minoan palace remains at Phaestos. Both are close to the island’s
capital of Heraklion, still surrounded by massive walls and home to a
first-rate museum. Crete’s attractions also include ruined palaces and
Venetian fortresses, Byzantine monasteries and frescoed churches, museums
and ancient monuments, vineyards, orchards and fishing villages. Along the
north coast are fine deluxe resorts offering private beaches, tennis,
sailing and other water sports.
