CRETE
An extraordinary island with a huge range of character, culture, traditions and unique sceneries for you to discover throughout the four seasons of the year.
CHANIA AND WESTERN CRETE
Rooted to the north coast of western Crete with history that begins centuries ago and carries on through the path of time.
A unique character is exposed through the many years of invasions and inhabitance of different cultures that have placed their stigma in the center of Chania and the old Venetian harbor is the obvious proof for that, neo classical buildings intertwined with a strange but admirable way to the Venetian ones, as you walk around the small paths able to recognize the lighthouse which dominates above all.
From the north side the mountain range of Lefka Ori giving a wild unspoiled beauty and from the south the Cretan sea giving its respects to the princess of the island.
