After arriving in Crete, you'll head straight to Hersonissos, a lively resort town with golden sandy beaches, turquoise waters, and a promenade full of bars, restaurants, and shops. Here you can immediately soak up the holiday atmosphere, enjoy the sun, and recharge your batteries for the days ahead.

The day begins with a stroll through the enchanting Venetian harbor of Chania, where narrow alleys, colorful houses, and lively cafés capture the spirit of Crete. Afterwards, it continues to Gournes, a quiet village by the sea, where you can relax on quiet beaches and enjoy fresh Cretan specialties in small taverns – an authentic and relaxing end to the day.

In the morning, you'll explore Chersonissos one more time before heading on to Malia. The beach here is wide and lively, with lots of watersports on offer. Afterwards, you'll drive to the south of Crete to Makrygialos Lasithiou, where a more relaxed atmosphere, crystal-clear water and cozy beach bars await – a great contrast to the lively north.

Today's route takes you to Sitia, a charming harbour town in eastern Crete. Walks along the promenade, a visit to the Venetian fortress Kazarma, or a swim at the nearby beaches will make for a varied day. Here you can still experience the authentic, less touristy side of Crete.

Finally, it's off to Heraklion, the capital of Crete. It combines lively markets, museums and history with a modern flair. An absolute highlight is a visit to the Palace of Knossos, one of the most important archaeological sites in Greece and the center of Minoan culture. A perfect end to your trip – with a mix of beach, culture and Greek way of life.

After exciting days full of sun, beaches and culture, it's time to say goodbye to Crete today. Depending on the flight time, there may still be time for a last stroll or a coffee by the sea before heading to the airport – with many memories in your luggage.
