A week around the coast of Crete, Greece’s grandest island, a circuit of Venetian harbours, Minoan ruins and dramatic mountain-backed shores. From bustling Heraklion to car-free Loutro, this route reveals the whole island at an unhurried pace. Expect ancient palaces and haunting island fortresses, wild southern coves and beautiful old towns, a rich and varied voyage.
Every route we shape is a starting point, not a fixed schedule. Stay a second day where the light is right, move with the weather, or follow a captain to a quieter cove. What follows is one considered way to read it; the rest we tailor to you.
