Your itinerary includes some good beach time at Matala Beach and Red Sand Beach (Kokkini Ammos). Take a break from the city and head to Spinalonga (Kalydon) and The Crete Golf Club.

There's lots more to do: get engrossed in the history at Heraklion Archaeological Museum, steep yourself in history at The Palace of Knossos, get a new perspective on nature at The Natural History Museum of Crete, and examine the collection at Lychnostatis Open Air Museum.

Crete travel guide
Great Island
The largest of the Greek islands, Crete offers travelers more than just sun, sea, and sand. Famed for its warm hospitality, outstanding infrastructure, and contrasting landscapes, the island represents one of the world's richest areas in terms of history and culture. Crete burst onto the world scene over 4,000 years ago, when it served as the center of the Minoan civilization, one of Europe's earliest organized societies. Despite the island's wealth of developed beaches, the traces of the mysterious and enchanting Minoan empire remain Crete's top attraction, drawing visitors from all over the world. The island capital Heraklion provides an ideal base for exploring a renowned Minoan palace complex, the site of Europe's oldest city.
