Crete is the land of Daidalos and Ikaros, of Minoan vases and famous frescoes; the home of El Greco and Kazantzakis, author of Zorba the Greek.

Crete is the largest island in Greece. It forms the southern border of the Aegean Sea and marks the boundry between Europe and Africa. Majestic mountains rise in its center while there are exciting contrasts between steep gorges and impressive beaches – a small utopia that will take a lifetime to fully discover.

Its villages are lost in greenery while ancient ports have turned into developed beaches or idyllic fishing villages. Old stone farmhouses and monasteries are perched on mountain ridges, Venetian and castles and Orthodox chapels forgotten on steep slopes. It is not accidental that the ancient Greeks believed Crete to be the birthplace of Zeus.

Crete, with its clear warm sea, boundless beaches lined with tamarisks, splendid plateaus and mild starry nights has more to offer than its mythological and historical past. Thriving and developing, its cities have changed appearance in contrast to the many picturesque villages where life carries on in the same rhythm as they have for centuries.

Some of the most luxurious and modern hotels in Europe, equipped with superb conference facilities, are located on the island which justify Crete being known as one of the most developed resorts suitable for all kinds of events. Whether your event is a meeting, a conference or an incentive, Crete is a unique destination to host it!
