Modern evolution has not affected the virgin beauty of Crete and has not cut Crete off from its virgin attractiveness.The proud inhabitants of Crete continue to live in wild, glorious highlands or along the beaches, in little white-painted houses which combine a village, like plantations full of oranges and olives.

There is no other island in the world of its size with
such variable topography as Crete and no other island
witha climate that is described as "the
mostsun-bathed and sinful climate of Europe", along with 6 months
of cloudless summers awaiting its visitors.The full of gaps highlands
are being penetrated by well expanding beaches.Here people can breathe
the plentifularomatic herbs, meet kitchengardens and grapes, find
ancient monuments and solitary chapels,and near them spreads of goats
and mules browse together and (people can) meet trueborn Cretans,who
may have not seen the sea even once in their lifetime.There isn't
any areas in the island which doesn't reveal traces of a human civilization
of hundreds of years and for this you can flashback the 4000 year
history. So grab the opportunity as long as you stay in the island
of Crete and rent a car to modulate your picnic having a rented car
individually.It would be a pity if your time passes at the beach only,provided
Crete with it's 260 km length is the largest greek island.
Unexpectedly people meet mostly the primal Crete,ganders
at the cretan habits and traditions, the natural
warmth and hospitality and the
villages which are alongside of the highways.You can stop driving
your rented car at untouched landscapes or you can visit a tavern
to rest.Little and forgotten villages,for example "Theriso"
which is 15 km south of Chania,wait you to visit them,7 km awaythere
is a narrow turnpike when you pass by a stream which is in a narrow
canyon both sides of which many wild rocks rise.Very near of the village
lies the valley and the foothills of the white hump of Chania easily
appear. A beautiful snow-white area that appears as another world.
These are some of the capabilities that anyone can meet in Crete but
like you it cannot provide an organized picnic. We are sure that you
will be satisfied and we wish you lovely,restful and entertaining
holidays.
