Cretan Cuisine Festival a Festivity of flavors, tastes and colors

Crete has mild Mediterranean winters and hot summers, with high sunshine 12 months a year, very small seasonal changes in temperatures and rare extreme weather conditions.

Plaka is a small traditional fishing village just 13 kilometers north of the town of Agios Nikolaos in Lasithi with a tiny port and crystal clear waters

A visit to Arkadi Monastery, in Rethymno, is a must destination that nobody should miss during a trip to Crete Island. A gorgeous spot but then so profoundly set apart with the Cretan battle for independence. Arkadi Monastery is a useful place to understand the history and tradition of Crete.

Gouves seaside village has many tourist facilities and a calm environment, away from the noisy world in Heraklion, Hersonissos and Malia. Gouves coastline extends to over four kilometers offering a tremendous selection of beaches and some spots with spectacular sea views.

Gouves is a great place to relax and enjoy all the activities and attractions that it offers. The best part is that is at the center of the Creta island so you can visit some of the best attractions on the island

Here you can view pictures from inside and outside of the Arkadi Monastery, one of the most historical places on Crete Island.
