What to Do in Crete?
Crete has some of the most beautiful beaches with locations such as the Balos Lagoon in Chania. Elafonissi Beach is an exotic paradise that we also recommend visiting. The best part of this area is that you can sail happily here, and dock in a sheltered area thanks to Elafonisi Island. Further up north, Falassarna Beach provides a majestic mountainous backdrop to the blue shimmering sea lapping the golden shores of this bay. Visit Vai Beach on the East Coast and lose yourself in the palm tree paradise. Crete boat rentals allow you to easily move between the different parts of the island and beaches in the areas. Make your own rib tours in Crete, a personalised itinerary to suit your own travel desires.
When you charter a boat in Crete, you'll have the chance to try one of the world's best cuisines. Cretan food is the basis of the world-famous Mediterranean diet, so tuck in - it's good for you! Cretan cheeses are usually made from sheep or goat's milk, while some variants mixture milk from both animals for a unique taste. You'll find a different cheese in every village, but all are worth trying. Enjoy them as part of dakos, a local salad that also includes tomato and barley rusks. Try lamb with stamnagathi, which is a local wild green vegetable, and don't miss out on the mountain bulbs foraged from the hillsides of the island.
Crete’s impressive landscape offers plenty of adventures for trekkers and its underwater world makes scuba diving a popular activity here, too.

There are also several museums on the island, including the Natural History Museum of Crete.
Crete was once home to the Minoan civilisation, which played a key role in both history and myth.

Today you can see some of the stunning architecture and ancient frescoes. Be sure to visit the museum in Heraklion, which houses a collection of Minoan artefacts. There's nowhere else in the world that you'll see so much about the Minoan civilisation
