| You are here: Hotel Reviews >> Greek Islands >> Crete |
Crete is the most southerly of the Greek islands, lying 200 miles off the coast of Africa. 160 miles long, and about 35 miles wide, it is also the largest. Most of the tourist resorts are on the north coast, served by 2 airports. The capital city Heraklion has the first, 2 miles east, and the other is 9 miles east of the major town of Chania. A main highway links the towns along the north coast where you will find most of the tourist resorts like Aghios Nikolaos and Hersonissos. There are countless mythological sites to explore, and along with it's many beaches of soft golden sand, and it's lively and sophisticated resorts, it is no surprise that holiday makers to Crete return again and again.
