Crete consists of four prefectures: Chania, Rethimno, Heraklion and Lasithi. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf there was a beauty contest for Greek islands, Crete would surely be among the favorites. Indeed, some say there is no place on earth like Crete. This view is strongly supported by those fortunate enough to have visited the island. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCrete, with a population of approximately 650,000, is not just sun, sea and sand; it is a quite distinct place full of vitality, warmth, hospitality, culture and of course an excellent infrastructure. Crete is well known for its seas and beaches but it has a very contrasting landscape. The island goes from fertile coastal plains to rugged mountains and from busy metropolitan cities to very peaceful hillside homes. If you travel throughout Crete you can clearly see remnants of Roman and Turkish aqueducts and architecture from when these people invaded the island long ago.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFinding Internet access when out and about can be problematic so carry your mobile guidebook in the palm of your hand.
