There are people who like to chalk out the trip before traveling and there are some who leave it to the destiny. Anyways, Crete is a place that needs planning well before as there are several must-see attractions which you must see!
Samaria Gorge
Samaria Gorge, the second most visited place in Crete requires some hard efforts to look at, just a 10-mile hike downhill! Remember, springtime is the best to be at this flowery place.
Knossos
Europe’s oldest city, Knossos is the largest Bronze Age archaeological site in Crete! Knossos was such a myth-full place that historians thought that the place didn’t exist! Go and see the Palace of Knossos!
