General: I might buy a holiday house there

Thu, 22 May 2008 08:11:21 GMT

Lassithi is the most quiet and relaxing area of Crete. While the rest of the perfectures are too crowded for me, Lassithi has exactly those features to make my holidays special. I have been there two times for holidays and still find new things to do. This summer we stayed in a villa in Elounda and went to Spinalonga, a small islet that used to be a prison and a leprosy area. We also went to th...

General: I learned to cook Cretan food

I thought the most impressive site of Lassithi was the Gorge of the Dead. Myself I like hiking and I really enjoyed this experience. We were travelling around Crete last summer and stayed for a few days in Ierapetra. The beaches were great also and the Cretan food amazing, the most delicious food ever! I liked dakos and onion pies the most, which were actually appetizers. I asked the chef how t...

General: The best holidays of my life!

I visited Agios Nikolaos for the first time last summer and had the best holidays of my life, with much positive energy around me!! A travel agent had recommended me this trip and he was totally right. We went there by plane with Aegean Airlines and then we hired a car. We have friends and family over there, so we had company. The hotel we stayed in was excellent, clean, peaceful, with all the ...

I have never been to the Crete before but I knew it already from experiences told by friends. In fact everybody told me that Crete is a very nice island and I can only agree to this. I loved the town of Agios Nikolaos, Lassithi; There are a lot of places to visit, a lot of nice beaches spread throughout the island -I have not seen many, but close to "Ierapetra" I have seen nice ones. The food i...

General: Crete looks to me a sectorialized island

Thu, 22 May 2008 08:11:21 GMT

Well, Crete looks to me as a "sectorialized" island splitted in enclaves for each kind of tourism, you have Agia Pelagia in Rethymno, Agios Nikolaos in Lassithi for the families, Malia in Heraklion for hooligans/yobs looking for a booze, the big cities like Chania, Rethymno, Heraklion for people looking for something more cultural. As for the food, the standard is quite good, I have found the o...

General: Chora is lovely

My name is Joan, 27, from Spain. I visited Serifos last July and stayed for only a week. I got there by ship from Pireaus, the trip was fine but I have to say that we arrived with an hour delay. The island was beautiful and its people friendly. The food was homemade but a little expensive. However, the beaches were amazing!! We would swim all day long and in the night we would go to the Yatch C...

General: Crete Island, a place for all...

What I like about Crete, apart from its extreme beauty and interest, is that it is an island with so many different places, scenes and landscapes that it is perfect for everyone.
The northern part of Crete is more touristy and has some of the biggest tourist resorts of the island. Hersonnisos is maybe the best example of the touristic character of Crete; it is full during high season and get...
