Most beautiful places in Crete,

 

What to do in Crete is also a question that should not necessarily be associated with historical sites. The island offers breathtaking nature and is one of the best hotspots in the world for a holiday for nature lovers. Put on your hiking boots to discover the mountainous landscape, see the valleys full of olive trees and pay a visit to the legendary gorges. You can then discover the local culture in the evening in some of the beautiful fishing villages. It should be clear: putting together a top 10 of the sights of Crete is not an easy task.
