Crete, Greece
Route: Ryan Air has flights into Crete, from different locations in Europe. You'd probably arrive to Chania. Heraklion is a bigger airport, but low cost destinations mostly fly to Chania. Based in Heraklion, we did daily trips to the South, West and East with a rental car. Along the coast, we visited Rethymnon and Chania to the West and Ag. Nikolaos to the East.
Transportation: Car rental is highly recommended. It is one of the few ways to get around the island.
Accommmodations: Hotel Olympic in Heraklion is an affordable and comfortable option, right in the city center.
Food: Food in Crete is phenomenal. The produce, meat and the herbs are all fresh. Biopetrino in Asimi, as featured in the video, has food that will leave you dreaming.
