There is a lot to do in Crete – entertainment for every taste, and the long sandy beaches with the Blue Flag mark provide for a comfortable holiday.

Snow-white houses and churches with blue roofs, narrow ancient streets of Imerovigli, Oia and Fira – here you will take beautiful photos for social networks.
