WHY CRETE?
Crete has a dramatic beauty rarely found elsewhere. Sandy beaches fringe clear, blue seas. Snow-capped mountains sweep down to vineyards, olive-groves and sheltered plains – a treasure-trove of gorgeous vegetables and fruit.
Crete’s mild Mediterranean climate makes exploring a delight. The next curve in the country road you travel may reveal a sleepy village, a field of poppies or a Minoan palace. Whilst the island’s ancient history has established it as a cradle of European civilisation, the story of modern Crete is equally fascinating.
With us at your side, get to know this ruggedly-beautiful island. We offer a range of fully-escorted tours, designed with care to keep the emphasis on leisurely, comfortable travel through scenery of breath-taking beauty.
Savour the mouth-watering flavours of delicious, home-grown Cretan food - drink the fabulous wines of the country whilst listening to the music of the ocean.
Let Living Crete transport you back into the heart of the fascinating Minoan world on this island where the people’s genuine warmth and hospitality echo the gentle, relaxing warmth of the climate.
