It is well known that Greece is a country with a valuable culture and ancient history. It is famous for its natural beauty and its islands. Ιt is one of the most well-geographed countries in the world, as it is located in the middle of three continents, Europe, Africa and Asia.
There are many places to visit in Greece, depending on everyone's preferences. Its diversity is something that characterizes it as you can find everything, from cosmopolitan islands to picturesque villages. You can travel to Greece by any means, depending on where you are. However, the quickest and easiest way is by plane and most people prefer it, so we will focus on that.
The largest airport in Greece is Eleftherios Venizelos, located in Athens. It is a basic choice for those wishing to travel to Greece, as from there you can either take another flight inland, or alternatively you can choose to enjoy the historicity of Athens and give it a try to explore its historical sites. Either way, you will definitely need a taxi from the Athens airport due to the crowds and traffic.
A great destination for your holidays in Greece, would of course be one of its famous islands. We'll avoid mentioning the Cycladic islands, which you've no doubt heard of, and concentrate on Crete, the largest island in Greece and the one with the most natural beauty and diversity.
You may not have heard much, but Crete is definitely a magical place to visit. As we mentioned it is the largest island in Greece, so it has endless options and places to explore. It is known for its beautiful beaches, hospitality, Mediterranean cuisine, wild natural beauty and thousands of years of history. It is definitely a destination you must visit and have the experience of a lifetime.
You can travel to Crete either by boat or by plane. However, travelling by boat can take from 8.5 to 17 hours, in which case I do not recommend. The airplane is the ideal choice, as it takes 45 minutes only!
Crete has two airports, in Heraklion and Chania, and you can choose whichever you prefer. It would be good in this case to book a taxi from Heraclion airport which will take you to your hotel in time and will show you around. As we mentioned the island is very big and you could easily get lost.
