What A Nice Holiday You Will Explore On The Island Of Crete

By Andreas Pantelidis


Maybe you are in search of the perfect getaway to a warm and lovely spot in the Mediterranean. You can find many great choices, and a beautiful vacation apartment in Crete can show you what a nice holiday is all about. Here are some reasons to visit the island of Crete.

Crete is situated south of the country of Greece and the climate is very agreeable. The best times to see this area start in April and do not end until October. During this period there are sunny skies almost every day and there is little precipitation to worry about. Wintertime is a bit cooler but is not harsh.

You can discover all kinds of activities in Crete. Most of the people are settled along the northern coastline and this is where you will find great accommodations. One of the nicest areas to stay is Chania and one can stay in a wonderful villa in Chania for reasonable rates. Chania is one of four districts that are known as prefectures.

Chania is the capital city of Chania and you can have a great time in the old or the new section of this city. The old town takes you may years into the past with its old world atmosphere and architecture. Some of these buildings have survived bombings from WWII. You also will find plenty of evening activity within the main square.

If you enjoy museums you should see Chania. The Archaeological Museum has exhibits that go back thousands of years. The Byzantine Museum is inside of an old church that is over five hundred years old. You can visit actual cells where Franciscan monks have lived, and they are preserved as they appear centuries ago. Sorry, but most areas of this museum are not available for picture taking.

A lot of holiday travelers visit Crete for its warm and inviting beaches. If you like to be around people and close proximity to things you will have no trouble finding excellent amenities. If you are looking for out of the way beaches, you can have a fun time hiking the back trails and climbing many rock stairs to some amazing sights.

If you want an idea of what a nice holiday can be, consider a visit to Crete island. This region contains many different sights, sounds, and experiences. Enjoy a perfect blend of Old World and New World atmosphere. You can visit with the local people, enjoy some of the finest foods, and forget about life back home, for a little while.
