Crete, Greece What are some must see things?

Question

I'm going to Rethymno, Crete in Greece are there any sights you would reccomend to see? Also any other tips are welcome!

Thanks! : )

Answer 1

A must see is the Palace of Knosis...one of the most important archaeological finds in modern times..the mythical home fo the Minotaur and the Labyrinth.

The Samarai Gorge is beautiful. There's a 6 hour walk and a 3 hour one. Though I'm sure you can make it less.

Shopping in Herakion (or Iraklion).

And yes, like the other poster said..Xania (or Chania). The harbour is beautiful and the food and shopping (and people watching) are great.

Here are pics of some of the places:

Answer 3

There is so much to do in crete

You have the fort and you can find the homemade phyllo shop

in the old city

if you have a car go to Plakias

and maybe one day just drive around and get lost for awhile

any Taverna out of the city will have good food for sure

make sure to try the mezzethes such as dolmathakia

and ask the restaurant if they have stuffed courgette flowers

maybe one day do a bit of island hopping

and if you can find out there may be an outdoor market while you are there

if all else fails ask any shop owner

most will be happy to point the way for you
