Crete, Greece's largest island, carries a depth that most beach destinations don't: the Palace of Knossos and Minoan civilization, mountain gorges like Samaria, and hill villages that look almost unchanged. Its coastline alone is long enough for both quiet coves and lively towns like Chania and Rethymno. The local kitchen — olive oil, seafood, and mountain greens — is often held up as the archetype of Mediterranean cuisine.
