Crete is a place apart – not just another Greek island, more like a separate country. Crete lies on the same latitude as Tunisia with the same baking hot summers; but here pleasantly tempered by breezes from the sea.
Getting to Crete Tuesday day flight Gatwick or Manchester to Chania or Heraklion. (Note: upgrade flight seats available from Gatwick). Then by coach or taxi for 20 mins - 2 hours.
