Product Description
One of the most popular of the Greek islands, Crete continues to draw fun-and-sun worshippers in vast numbers, as well as offering a paradise of flora, hillside terraces, and coastal plains in the less-commercialized areas. Cadogan's new entertaining guide to Greece's largest and most fiercely independent island delves into every aspect of its unique attractions. Engaging commentary on the fabled Minoan sites evoking Europe's earliest civilization, frescoed Byzantine monasteries, and Venetian city-quarters will give readers a singular insight into Crete's wealth of history. A special nature section illuminates the stunning landscape and carpets of spring flowers, and the guide takes travelers to the island's beauty spots--from the turquoise lagoon of Elafonísi to the butterfly-filled gorges by the Libyan sea. Ancient Cretan culture is explored in the Labyrinth at Knossós and the Diktean cave, birthplace of Zeus. If visitors' tastebuds are tempted by the abundance of Cretan produce, the listings will give them the best places to feast on fresh lobster and indulge in specialty cakes and pastries. Packed full of inspirational ideas, Cadogan will help them create their very own Crete.
