The Crete region


Crete is not a large island being 250km long and just 12km across at its narrowest point. Many examples of the Minoan civilisation are to be found, and Knossos is well worth a visit. Also a visit to the Lasithi Plateau at 950m above sea level, the birthplace of Zeus, to see the legendary white-sailed wind pumps. Kritsa near Agios Nikolaos stands for all that is best and most typical of village life. Elounda and Spinalonga(the former leper colony) show off the beauty of the island, Mochos with the traditional Greek dancing in the square while you eat dinner of Lasithi Lamb,Arvi on the South coast where commercialisation is unknown, and so many more delightful places still to be uncovered.
The Sissi area
Sissi is a small fishing village situated on the North coast. The village offers various shops, bakers, butchers, supermarkets, hairdresser, and laundry plus a selection of wonderful restaurants and tavernas, and numerous bars.
The island is steeped in history, and many places are within easy reach. Heraklion is a 30 minute drive to the West and to the East the elegant town of Agios Nikoloas is a 20 minute drive. From June through to September you can enjoy the beautiful hot sunny days with clear blue skies and azure sea water. Sports facilities, horse riding, walking,dancing,cycling, golf, water parks,museums,archeological sites, fishing, boating,jeep safaris and of course, shopping are all available.
