The
island of Crete in beautiful Greece
 "Out in
the dark blue sea there lies a land
called Crete, a rich and lovely
land, washed by the waves on every
side..." --- The Odyssey
From fertile coastal plains to
rugged barren mountains, from mellow
stone houses to stark concrete
modernity, from bustling capital to
sleepy hill villages, Crete, the
largest of the Greek Islands, is an
island of contrasts. Home to around
650,000 people and several million
olive trees, the island remains ever
popular with visitors from northern
Europe, other parts of Greece, and
indeed, visitors from all over the
World. It consists of four
prefectures: Chania, Rethymnon,
Heraklion and Lasithi.
Crete is a different world compared
to other parts of Greece. Crete is a
place with its own tradition, its
own character and its own dialect.
Local people are very proud of their
Cretan origin. Throughout the island
the remnants of occupation by
invaders from the Romans, through to
the Turks, can still be seen, with
aqueducts and architecture still
plainly visible. But throughout
these invasions the Cretan people
have remained relatively unscathed
and retain their justifiable pride
in their island and their culture.
With English spoken widely
throughout the island to ask a
Cretan a question is to invite them
to sit with you, and with time
measured differently here you are
likely to be sitting for while
taking in long conversations that
will naturally require food and
drink.

Nowadays, Crete has a flourishing
economy which is based partly on
tourism. It has giant hotel resorts
where you can enjoy splendid
facilities. In the south of the
island, you will find hundreds of
exotic beaches, some crowded and
some isolated which can satisfy any
taste. Crete is famous for its fruit
and vegetable production. So by
visiting Crete, you have the chance
to taste the world-known Cretan diet
based on vegetables and pure olive
oil.

Crete is a mountainous island and the island's history, as well as the personality of its inhabitants was greatly affected by these mountains.

Cretan mountains form a continuous chain from one end of the island to the other and they make Crete look much larger than it really is.
