Travel to Crete is a must 🛫

#travelchecklist During my recent trip to Crete, Greece, I discovered that having a travel checklist is essential for fully enjoying this beautiful island! First off, the stunning beaches, like Elafonissi, are a must-see, with entrance fees typically around €5. Make sure to pack sunscreen, a hat, and comfortable sandals. Don’t miss the historic Palace of Knossos; entry is about €15 and gives you a fascinating glimpse into ancient Minoan civilization. I also recommend visiting the charming towns of Chania and Rethymno for their vibrant markets and delicious local cuisine. Lastly, keep your camera handy for breathtaking sunsets! 🌅 #crete #travelchecklist #greece #beachvibes #ancienthistory #explorecrete

Crete is one of my top recommendations for summer travel in Europe. Despite being the largest island in Greece, Crete doesn’t get nearly as much attention as its flashy neighbors, Santorini and Mykonos. But with literally life-giving cuisine, unique beaches, and monasteries that double as wineries (yes, really), Crete Island must be on your Greece travel itinerary. I recommend staying in Old Town Chania, and spending a couple of days exploring the windy, cobblestone streets lined with pastel-colored homes, handicrafts shops, and cafes. The island is known for having some of the best food in the world (and the locals live longer than most places in the world due to their diet), so be sure to eat all the fresh produce and seafood, and olive oil as possible. Check out some of the unique beaches in Crete as well, including Seitan Limania, Balos, and Elafonisi. If you love wine, visit the Agia Triada Monastery which is beautiful as a monastery but also has a very special winery in the basement.
