• Pros
  • Crete is, like continental Greece and the other islands, the ideal destination for a short holiday break in the sun combined with cultural activities.
  • Although very touristy, Crete displays magnificent landscapes, that are perfect settings for hiking and trekking.
• Cons
  • For people looking for calm and tranquillity, the months of July and August are to be avoided as Crete is flooded by European tourists. A more than real definition of 'mass tourism'...
  • Cretan sites, as in the whole of Greece, have been damaged by the massive and anarchic development of tourism.
