The largest island in Greece, Crete, is also the most southern of the Greek islands (apart from the tiny island of Gavdos), and with its mild winters and hot summers, it is perfect for getaways all year round. With a diverse landscape and coastline, the island offers a large variety of activities for visitors, from relaxing on its beautiful beaches, to discovering authentic, traditional hill villages, untouched by mass tourism, and also visiting ancient archaeological sites. Many also go there to enjoy hiking in the hills, mountains and gorges, including hiking the 16 km Samaria Gorge on the west side of the island, one of the longest and most impressive canyons in Europe.
