Package with flight, accommodation, airport transfer and free concierge included
Knossos, Agios Nikolaos and the turquoise beaches of eastern Crete.
Knossos, Agios Nikolaos and the turquoise beaches of eastern Crete — the cradle of Minoan civilisation with an authentic Mediterranean vibe. A direct flight from Romania gets you there fast — no connections, no stress, straight into the heart of your holiday.
The most important Minoan archaeological site in Greece, partly reconstructed — 5 km from Heraklion, the heart of Cretan civilisation.
Pink sand, a turquoise lagoon and a nature reserve in south-western Crete — one of the most famous beaches in Greece, reachable by car from Heraklion.
Rusk bread topped with tomato, feta and olive oil — the emblem of Cretan cooking and part of the Mediterranean diet.
A lagoon of white sand and crystal-clear water in the north-west, reached by boat — a day trip from Heraklion.
May to October is the perfect season. July and August are crowded, but May, June and September offer ideal temperatures (25-30°C).
Heraklion town for museums and city life, Hersonissos for beach and buzz, and Agios Nikolaos for bohemian calm with lake views.
The airport–hotel transfer is included. Eastern Crete is better connected by car — a rental is ideal for exploring Knossos or the southern beaches too.
Try dakos (rusk bread with tomato and feta), local raki and slow-cooked lamb (pliroma). The Cretan diet is recognised as one of the healthiest in the world.
