Crete is the largest of the Greek islands, with a different resort for everyone's tastes. The people are very friendly, and host an island with great weather at very reasonable prices.
It doesn't matter where you go in Greece, the people there are really friendly. I have to say though my fav is also Crete I have been a few times. If you go again try Chania area it is a super destination.
I have stayed on 43 Greek Islands; Only 400 more to go! Every Island is unique. For authenticity choose an island without an airport. Use the ferries as the Greeks and islanders do. The more difficult the journey, the warmer the welcome. Ferries perform the role of buses in U.K. Outside of mid July to end of August no need to book accommodation. Cheap flight to Athens, X96 bus to Pireaus port, Ferry to any island. Met at port by owners offering double room with en suite and balcony £18. Trust them! Buy Rough Guide to Greek Islands. Go and explore! Pure Magic! Enjoy!
Crete is the best place on earth and I intend to live there some day. The people are fab, sea beautiful and no crime...except from tourists! Imagine stepping back 50 years...
I did Island hopping in Greece,Crete was the best. Great way of seeing Greece on the cheap,Great memories, food and locals so friendly, Cant wait to go back
