Crete is not really lose, everything speaks of the ancient Minoan civilization that bursting "Kalos" in all the places we visit. The first thing to do to book travel is inquire if the hotel has a beach with sand, because 90% of hotels are on the cliff where it is difficult to take a bath, especially in the north of the island, and we have chosen, after seen on Google Earth, the Kernos Beach hotel, very elegant, beautiful beach, large pool, excellent food and various specialties. All'arirvo the first thought is to rent a car, we have chosen a smart, will take you anywhere, it costs a little more but it's worth, it's a good idea to treat, we have come in a week, over 1,300 km visiting: Malia -- Knossos - Iraklion - Gortin - Festos - Agia Triada - Spinalonga - Agios Nikolaus - Dreros - Olous - Chania - Rethimno - Kommos - Kamilarie and many other beautiful villages. When the car hire you get a map of the island, with that you never go anywhere without getting lost and finding even the most remote places, such as the tomb of Kamilari in Toulouse, a hill in open country along a dirt road of some km with regular Trazzera signaling in and between the trees, are very organized veremante the Cretans. What about the inns and restaurants, exceptional and affordable; at the port of Aghios Nikolaos are the most beautiful sponges, the highest quality.
