Popular Destinations in Crete
Heraklion
This city hosts the main port and airport, so it is an excellent place to stay if you want to be in the central 'hub' of everything or if you don't want to travel too far from the airport.
Historically, it has been a beautiful Venetian city, but this town has been modernised beyond recognition to support a growing population. However, you'll find some nods to the old town it used to be, many of which have been preserved and immortalised in museums.
Chania
The second largest city is not to be; Chania Chania has pressed much more of its original architecture and structure.
Often dubbed the 'Venice of the East, Chania has not sacrificed its beautiful monuments and history for modernisation. Many regard this city as the most beautiful city in Greece. Wander around here, and you'll see why.
Visit the museum and light; this city is dripping with culture and dying to tell you its story. It also hosts many coves and secret beaches that you'll have to hire a boat to discover, making you feel like a real local and explorer.
Rethymnon
Discover Ancient Rithymna, the site where Rethymnon was built. The town is filled with charming streets and historical monuments and has barely been altered from the past.
An excellent place to sample some Greek food, you'll find many cafes and restaurants explicitly catered to tradition.
Home to the largest fortress in Greece, you surely won't want to miss out on the Fortezza, St. Francis Basilica, and the old Venetian mansions.
Agios Nikolaos
Explore the cosmopolitan paradise of Agios Nikolaos. Stroll along Lake Voulismeni, a small lagoon in the centre of; many believe it has no bottom because it is invariably profound.
Agios Nikolaos is dominated by whitewashed buildings, which give it a Santorini air. It has transformed from a small fishing village to a picturesque seaside resort, perfect for history buffs and beachgoers alike!
Hersonissos
The beaches of Hersonissos make it one of the most popular tourist resorts in Crete, and it is often packed with sunseekers and people enjoying the water.
However, this makes it a modern resort where you'll find many restaurants with varying cuisines to suit every palette.
Don't forget about the many archaeological around the Areanearbyloseby villages to shop for little homemade trinkets to bring home to your family and friends.

Keep an eye on your value constantly, lock up your documents in a safe, and keep a copy of your passport on you.
Avoid mosquito bites by covering them with long sleeves and long trousers, especially after sunset, and using insect repellents on exposed skin.
If you are Hiking and Trekking in Crete, especially up the mountains, be sure to bring plenty of water and snacks to keep you going, and in case of an eye, you're stuck.
Be cautious of falling rocks or joints in the area, which can cause serious injury.
