We're getting married in Crete!

Visiting Crete

Crete is full of natural beauty, great food, and charming towns. If you’re staying a few days before or after the wedding, there’s plenty to explore, from remote beaches to historic villages. Here are a few of our favourite spots:
Balos Lagoon

Balos Lagoon

Known for its stunning turquoise water and incredible views. You can get there by car, hike down from the parking area, or take a boat from Kissamos harbour.

Elafonisi Beach

Elafonisi Beach

Famous for its pink-tinged sand and shallow, swimmable water. Great for a day trip.

Chania

Chania

A beautiful old town with a Venetian harbor, narrow streets, great shops, and excellent food.

Falasarna beach

Falasarna beach

A wide, sandy beach with clear water and some of the best sunsets on the island.

Samaria Gorge

Samaria Gorge

For our more active guests, this is an amazing day-trip hike with stunning views and a great way to experience Crete’s wild side. The 16 km long ravine is the longest in Europe, making it a serious but spectacular five to six hour trek.

Sfakia & Loutro

Sfakia & Loutro

A charming area in southwest Crete. Sfakia is a quiet mountain village, and just across the water, Loutro is a small seaside spot you can only reach by boat or on foot.

Traditional Tavernas

Traditional Tavernas

A trip to Crete wouldn’t be complete without a proper taverna experience. Be sure to try some of the Greek classics like souvlaki, tzatziki, and moussaka, but don’t miss the local Cretan specialties — traditional Cretan salad, kalitsounia pies, lamb or seafood dishes, boureki, and of course, local wine. Here are a few of our favorite spots in the area: Taverna Sunset, Kissamos Molos Beach Restaurant Bar, Kissamos Aeras Cafe Restaurant, Kissamos Taverna Stimadoris, Kissamos Tsengas Fish Tavern, Kissamos Gramboussa Restaurant, Kaliviani Tavern Spiliaraki, Topolia Topos&elia Tavern, Topolia Elaias Thea, Paleochora
