Area & Activities

Crete: Unlock the very best of the historic Greek island. Let us, the Ultimate Guest Service, create a tailor-made excursion for your stay to unlock the secret treasures of Crete. Its remarkable history is evident across the island, from the ruins of the Minoan Palace of Knossos to the Venetian fortresses of Rethymo; from old mosques and Byzantine monasteries to the cave that is the legendary birthplace of Zeus. The Venetian port of Chania in Western Crete is one of Greece’s most evocative cities and the capital, Heraklion, is a bustling modern city.
