6. Crete
Crete is often called the island of contrasts. It is the largest of the Greek islands and its nickname is well deserved; rugged mountains that transform into rolling countryside brimming with olive trees, which then undergoes a metamorphosis only to emerge as a stunning coastline that begs visitors to never leave again. A spacious landmass that’s steeped in history, Crete has a reputation for contrasts that spreads well beyond its landscapes.
Quiet villages with its quaint outdoor coffee shops give way to bustling metropolitan cities, all of which results with the island being yet another in the long line of top tourist attractions in Greece. With both traces of the past and aspirations for the future in its midst, Crete is the ideal tourist attraction no matter how you look at it.
