About Crete

Crete is the largest of the Greek islands at and the fifth largest island in the Mediterranean. Crete is also the bond among Europe, Africa and Asia.
Crete was the center of Europe's most ancient civilization; the Minoan.

Little is known about the rise of ancient Cretan society, as very limited written records remain, and many are written in the undecipherable script known as Linear A. This contrasts with the superb homes, palaces, roads, paintings and sculptures that do remain. Early Cretan history is replete with legends such as those of King Minos, Theseus, Minotaur, Daedalus and Icarus passed on orally via poets such as Homer.
Crete is one of the 13 regions into which Greece is divided. It forms the largest island in Greece and the second largest, after Cyprus, in the East Mediterranean.
Crete’s climate is the mildest in all Europe.
