Island hopping: Athens - Santorini - Crete
General Description
Santorini and Crete are both world-famous for different reasons on each island. Santorini is the top destination in Greece and is famous for the sunken caldera, the still active volcano, the cliff-side villages, and the most romantic sunset that attracts millions of couples every year. In fact, due to the gorgeous landscape and the magnificent sunset, Santorini is such a popular wedding location.
Crete, on the other side, has a less impressive landscape but a calm, family atmosphere. Heraklion and Chania are distinguished for their Venetian architecture, the Old Towns, and the close beaches. At a close distance to Heraklion, there is the Minoan Palace of Knossos with colorful wall paintings and good space planning. If you have time and want to drive around in Crete, you will find amazing sceneries to steal your heart: from small mountainous villages and calm beaches to impressive gorges, secret caves, and hidden archaeological sites. Crete is the most interesting place for alternative vacations.
