Explore at your own pace

Hop in your hire car to explore epic canyons, forested riversides and rugged peaks – you'll have this whole region at your fingertips. Hiking’s a firm favourite here too, with trails snaking through sleepy villages and past ancient ruins. Prefer aquatic adventures? Head to the beach for a dip in the crystal-clear water.

Hit the city

The port city of Heraklion is a fab pick for a day trip. You can stroll the scenic harbour and enjoy lunch with a view, before browsing the bustling markets and bagging some quirky souvenirs. As night falls, the charming bars and restaurants come to life with live music.
