Drenched in sunshine for the majority of the year, the island allows its visitors to combine an escape to the sun with some terrific golf - Crete Golf Club is among the best new courses on the continent.
Crete is also steeped in history, with a heritage traceable to 2600 B.C., and the amazing diversity of its architectural landscape is testament to the varied inhabitants and settlers to occupy the island.
Today, Crete is no longer fought over, and its absolutely divine beaches lie in wait for all those eager to visit. With championship golf now added to the already renowned coastal paradises, Crete is a genuine golf holiday destination.
