Crete accommodations

Crete accommodations welcome you to a destination nicknamed “The Island of the Gods”. Known for its beaches, castles, monasteries, museums, archaeological sites, waterparks, hiking trails, cliffs, gorges, streams, waterfalls and scenic views, Crete is located between the Aegean and Libyan Seas. Greece’s southernmost and largest isle, Island of the Gods stretches 160 miles east-to-west, and 37 miles north-to-south, with its capital Heraklion located on the north coast. Inland Crete is characterized by its high, east-to-west mountain range, along with its valleys and plateaus. The island’s tallest peak is Mount Ida, also known as Psiloritis, at 8,058 feet above sea level. Crete main attractions include Elafonissi Beach, Fortezza of Rethymnon (16-century Venetian citadel ruins – panoramic port / town views), Balos Beach (white sand beach / lagoon – turquoise water, accessible by boat or hike), Seitan Limania (remote sandy beach / cove surrounded by rock formations), Arkadi Monastery (16th-century church / Eastern Orthodox monastery), Botanical Garden of Crete, Watercity Waterpark Crete, Aquaworld Aquarium & Reptile Rescue Centre, Amazonas Park (zoo), Gramvousa Beach, Cave of Agia Sofia (chapel), Acqua Plus (waterpark), Monastry of Saint George, Limnoupolis (waterpark), Panagia Kera Kardiotissa Monastery (ancient church / nunnery – medieval murals, Virgin Mary icon), Venizelos Graves (hilltop gravesite – panoramic sea / city views), Lychnostatis Open Air Museum (natural history museum – traditional dwellings, workshops), Balos Viewpoint (scenic spot), Mili Gorge (long canyon trail – old mills, tavern, chapels, rock pools), Richtis Gorge (scenic gorge / rugged hiking trail – stream, waterfall, wildlife), White Mountains Forest Preserve, Archaeological Site of Aptera, Souda Beach (umbrellas, showers, seafood tavernas, rare Cretan date palm grove), Odigìtria Monastery, Agiofaraggo Martsalo Kefali (park – gravel roads, trails, cliffs, beaches, caves), Nikos Kazantzakis Museum (author museum) and Monastery Katholiko (church). Crete’s main airport is Heraklion International Airport Nikos Kazantzakis, with airport-area car rental agencies to include Gomega, Monza, Beepit, EURODOLLAR, BlueCarRental, Motor Plan, Lux Trans and Heraklion Rental. Due to governmental regulations and local taxi unions, Uber rideshare does not operate on Crete, so renting a car is advisable. Crete’s mountainous roadways sometimes include winding bends with gorges dropping beneath, so its best to use caution particularly in these areas. If you find yourself driving slowly, to take in the views for example, be sure to keep to the shoulder so that appreciative Cretans may pass. A drive east-to-west on Crete takes about 6 hours, give or take. Crete’s two smaller, main airports are Chania International Airport and Sitia Public Airport (domestic flights between Crete and mainland Greece). OFI Crete F.C, a Greek Super League team, plays at Theodoros Vardinogiannis Stadium in Heraklion. Crete’s currency is the Euro, cars travel on the right-hand side and the drinking age is 18 years old. Crete accommodations are some of the Greek Isles’ best. Before we get to Crete accommodations, let’s take a look at some more background information on the area to help you along the way.

Crete’s earliest permanent settlement, a major Minoan center. can be traced to 7000 BC Knossos. The Minoans were skilled artists and writers, as evidenced archaeologically by their elaborate pottery, and by their mysterious Linear A writing system, which has been discovered on tablets, ritual objects, sealed documents and mason marks. Mediterranean traders, the Minoans built a palace at Knossos. Mainland-Greece Mycenaeans replaced the Cretan Minoans around 1420 BC, as evidenced by a Linear B archive found at Knossos that dates to around that time. The Late Bronze Age’s sudden 12th century BC collapse ushered-into Crete new waves of mainland Greeks, who established city-states. Following a brief period of civil order in the 5th century BC, as inferred by the Gortyn city-state’s legal code, unrest ensued in the late-4th century by way of aristocratic elite infighting and city-states’ prolonged warfare. The Lyttian War (220-216 BC) fought between Knossos (allied with Rhodes) and Polyrrhenia (allied with Macedonia) resulted in a Knossian defeat. At that point, Crete largely fell under Macedonian influence, with king Philip V gaining hegemony over the island. However, the Cretan War (205–200 BC) between Macedonia (allied with the Aetolian League and Spartan pirates) and Rhodes (allied with Byzantium and Athens) resulted in a Rhodian victory. Around this time, Rome began to meddle with Cretan affairs The town of Ierapytna (Ierapetra) gained control of eastern Crete in the 2nd century BC. With the rise of the Roman Empire, Crete initially repelled an attack by Roman general Marcus Antonius Creticus in 71 BC, but was subsequently conquered in 69 BC by Quintus Caecilius Metellus, who became known as “Creticus”. During Roman rule, Gortyn was made the capital of a prosperous Crete, which had become a Roman province alongside Cyrenaica (eastern region of Libya). In 297 AD, Crete was separated from Cyrenaica, though the island remained an Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire province. Constantinople became the Eastern Roman Empire’s capital circa 330 AD, and thereafter Crete was faced with a series of adversities: extreme earthquakes (365 & 415 AD), Vandal attack (467), Slavic raid (623) and Arab raids (654, 670 & 8th century). Jurisdiction of the island was transferred, under Byzantine Emperor Leo III the Isaurian, from the Pope to the Patriarchate of Constantinople in 732. Having been ruled by the Romans for 900 years, Crete was captured in the 820s by Andalusian Muwallads, who established the Emirate of Crete. After nearly 150 years of Arab rule, Crete reverted to Byzantine Empire control following the siege of Chandax (960–61). The Fourth Crusade seized Constantinople in 1204. At that time, Crete was given to the leading Crusader Boniface of Montferrat, who in turn sold the claim to the Republic of Venice, the Crusade’s prevailing force. Venice’s rival, the Republic of Genoa seized Crete shortly thereafter, but the island was recaptured by Venice in 1212. Venice ruled Crete for more than 400 years starting in 1212. Under Venetian rule, Renaissance-style flourished on the island. Of Venice’s population of approximately 60,000, about 10,000 relocated to Crete. As a result, the ancient city of Kydonia was revived and renamed Canea, which developed into modern Chania. Venetian rule ended effectively in 1669 when, following the siege of Candia, Ottomans conquered Crete. Following the seventh and final Ottoman–Venetian War in 1715, many Greek Cretans fled to other parts of the Republic of Venice. The Ottomans built high walls and bastions around Heraklion. Wealthy shipbuilder Ioannis Vlachos, also known as Daskalogiannis, staged a revolt against Ottoman rule in Crete during the Russo-Turkish War (1768–1774). Erroneously assuming that he would receive support from the Russian navy, which never arrived, Daskalogiannis was forced to surrender to Ottoman authorities. Displayed publicly and remaining silent throughout, Daskalogiannis was tortured, skinned alive and beaten to death. Ottoman-Sultan Mahmud II granted control of Crete to de facto Egyptian ruler Muhammad Ali Pasha in exchange for Pasha’s military support during the Greek War of Independence. Crete was omitted from the London Protocol of 1830, while subsequently being confirmed in the Convention of Kütahya of 1833. The July 3, 1840 Convention of London returned Crete to direct Ottoman rule. The Cretan revolt (1866–1869) between Greek Revolutionaries and the Ottoman Empire resulted in an Ottoman victory and revolt suppression. At the revolt’s onset, the Arkadi Monastery had served as rebel headquarters, but became the scene of self-induced gunpowder barrel explosions along with a massacre. Several Cretan uprisings against the Ottomans occurred in the mid-to-late-19th century, prompting Great Britain, France, Italy and Russia, the “Great Powers”, to garrison troops on the island circa February 1897. Autonomy under Ottoman suzerainty was proposed by the Great Powers in March 1898. The September 6, 1898 Candia massacre resulted in 500–800 Christian inhabitant, and 14 British military personnel, murders, along with the British vice-consul and family being burned alive inside their home. Subsequently, Ottoman troops and administrators were expelled from the island by early-November, and autonomy was enforced by an incoming High Commissioner, Prince George of Greece, in December 1898. The Great Powers thus rose the Cretan State flag, with a white star to represent Ottoman suzerainty over the island. The proposed suzerainty most definitely served as a ruse to temporarily assuage the Ottomans. In 1908, Cretan deputies declared union with Greece. Then, at the 1912 First Balkan War’s onset, the Greek government declared Crete a Greek territory, which was not recognized internationally until December 1, 1913. The May 1941 Battle of Crete between the United Kingdom (largely) and Nazi Germany resulted in an Axis victory and occupation of “Fortress Crete“. During German occupation, the Massacre of Kondomari and Viannos massacres occurred. A majority of German forces evacuated Crete in October 1944, leaving only a small garrison at Chania. Following VE Day, the remaining Germans surrendered at Knossos to British Major-General Colin Callander. A series of political clashes in Athens, known as Dekemvriana during World War II, influenced the Greek Civil War (1946-1949). On Crete’s prolonged civil war battlefield, 34 remaining communist Democratic Army of Greece fighters finally surrendered in 1974, 25 years after Greece’s mainland civil war had ended.

Home to around 625,000 “Cretans”, Crete is the world’s 88th largest island, with over 650 miles of coastline. Turquoise waters can be found at various beaches encompassing the island. Diverse marine life consists of endangered monk seals, dolphins, octopi, sea turtles, fin whales, seahorses and various fish species. Several shark species inhabit the waters around Crete such as blue sharks, Mako, threshers and more, though human encounters are rare. Dangerous land animals are non-existent on Crete, where, according to Greek mythology, Zeus was born. Legend states that Hercules, honoring Zeus, removed all harmful and dangerous animals. About 210,000 of the island’s inhabitants live in the capital city of Heraklion. Annually, over 6 million people visit Crete, which is roughly 100 miles south of mainland Greece. Chania International Airport is named after after Daskalogiannis. Crete’s Mediterranean climate is characterized by hot, humid summers and mild winters. Summer July high temperatures average around 85 °F, while January winter highs stay around 59 °F. The island’s highest peaks are often snowcapped between November and April. Snowfall is rare in lower elevations, though not impossible. Additional points of interest are Va (eastern beach / protected natural area), Knossos (Bronze Age archaeological site), Frangokastello (castle), Matala (southern village) Samariá Gorge, Heraklion Archaeological Museum and Pankritio Stadium. Local foods include souvlaki (skewered meats), moussaka (ground meat, eggplant dish), dolma (stuffed grape leaves), spanakopita (savory spinach pie), dakos (meze appetizer with tomatoes, crumbled feta / mizithra cheese and herbs), tzatzkiki (cold cucumber-yogurt sauce), saganaki (fried cheese appetizer) and various seafoods. Popular drinks are wine, beer, raki (licorice-flavored aperitif) and Greek coffee (bold, kaimaki foam on top, unstrained grounds on bottom – brewed in a special briki pot). With some background information on the area, we’re ready for Crete accommodations that will help make for an outstanding trip.
