Out in the dark blue sea there lies a land called Crete, a rich and lovely land, washed by the waves on every side... The Odyssey
Full of tropical beaches, traditional villages each with its own history, a huge variety of gorgeous landscapes, and remains from ancient civilizations, Crete has been writing its history for the last 5,000 years. Crete inspired the world-renowned Greek poet Nikos Kazantzakis to write his famous book "Zorba the Greek" on the island.
