The largest of the Greek islands and one of the largest in the Mediterranean, Crete is a place with amazing history! The oldest evidence of inhabitants are Neolithic farming community remains that date to approximately 7000 BC.

Knossos is the largest of the preserved Minoan palaces and a must-visit place.
