Crete has some nice features such as ruins and some nice beaches nut that's about it. But all in all it is way overrated. The people ra efriendly but primitive, languages are barely spoken, connections through Athens are horrendous and always late. have you seen the airport at Heraklion? Road safety is nil; have you seen how many squashed animals tare there on the streets? The same goes for quality at most hotels and resturants (save 5* Elounda resorts). Most scary is the gun craze and the drug war waging on the hills for 30 years. Real hard to believe this place.
