EXPERIENCE · TASTE · DISCOVER Crete
The personal travel guide to the real Crete, packed with:
hidden gems, local tips, food, drinks & fun with kids
welcome to the Crete guide
Yassou!
As a Dutch family Crete is a place we keep coming back to. Over the years, we've explored much of the island, from charming villages and hidden beaches to tavernas where you can easily lose track of time.
With this guide, we share our favourite places, scenic routes, great restaurants and local tips. Not the usual tourist highlights, but the places we genuinely love and the recommendations we would give our own friends.
Our love for Crete has even inspired us to create a place of our own here: Villa Nila, named after our daughter.
We hope this guide helps you not only visit Crete, but truly experience the island.
With love,
Jort & Simone
