Located at the southern end of the Aegean Sea, Crete is the largest island in the archipelago off Greece. Western Crete touches the Mediterranean and even has its own Cretan Sea within the Aegean. Central to Greek mythology, Crete is said to be the birthplace of Zeus, King of the Gods; on walking holidays in Crete you can discover this land of ancient history and epic landscapes, to find the island has a sense of ancient magic that goes beyond its beautiful scenery.
On Crete walking holidays embark on rugged coastal walks that guide you to secluded golden-sand bays, perfect for a tranquil dip in mineral-rich salt waters. Venture inland to explore ancient civilizations, where you'll encounter colourfully mosaiced Minoan palaces and domed Byzantine churches adorned with intricate frescoes.
Crete’s White Mountains frame a cloudless horizon, carving out dramatic gorges, sculpted plateaus, and soaring canyons. Visit the world famous Samaria gorge, and cross azure trickling rivers over small wooden bridges and cobbled stepping stones.
We have the best guided tours in Crete, especially in the city of Chania. We will explore the bustling markets by the colourful Venetian harbour, then relax in a courtyard taverna to escape the afternoon sun. Vivid pink bougainvillea creep up honey-coloured walls as the smell of olive and citrus welcomes you to the warm Cretan air.
We’ll follow mule tracks across breathtaking cols to remote traditional villages nestled high in the hilltops. Soak in the local way of life by browsing hand-made crafts and sampling freshly made delicacies. Try the Kalitsounia, sweet cheese pastries, drizzled with runny honey and cinnamon.
