Crete, Greece is the largest of the Greek islands and is located in the Mediterranean Sea south of the Peloponnese. The island is immensely beautiful, with both stunning beaches and gorgeous land features. The island's residents are known for their warmth and hospitality, and the island has a well-developed tourist infrastructure, making it fairly easy to get around and find accommodations. Malia is the island's party capital, so head there if you are looking for nightlife. On the other hand, if you prefer a quieter destination, check out Chersonissos. April to October is the traditional tourist season, but being there early in the season (i.e. April) will mean you avoid some of the summer crowds and are able to enjoy some beautiful weather. Map
