In this thrilling adventure on the Greek island of Crete, Ryan Shirley takes us on a wild ride through his top 10 favorite places. Starting in Hania, a city steeped in history with a picturesque harbor and a lighthouse that stands as a testament to its past. Nearby Seitan Limania offers a taste of paradise with its stunning beach and inviting clear waters, perfect for those daring cliff jumps. Moving inland, Lake Kournas surprises with its freshwater oasis nestled at the base of majestic mountains, a true hidden gem on this island of wonders.
As we journey to Rethymno, the medieval fortress and charming harbor transport us back in time to a place where history comes alive. Venturing to Spinalonga, the island fortress with its towering walls and intriguing past as a leper colony, offers a glimpse into a tumultuous yet fascinating chapter of Crete's story. Nearby Agios Nikolaos beckons with its scenic port town and a tranquil lake that merges seamlessly with the sea, a sight to behold in this land of contrasts.
Heading south to Preveli Beach, the unique palm forest gorge adds a touch of mystery to this already enchanting destination, inviting visitors to explore its natural beauty. Ecclesia Stavros, perched high on a mountain, offers panoramic views of southern Crete, a spiritual retreat amidst the rugged landscape. Further south, Matala's ancient caves carved into the cliffs during Roman times provide a glimpse into a bygone era, where hippies once sought refuge in this coastal haven. And for the ultimate thrill-seekers, Gavdos awaits as the southernmost island in Greece, a remote paradise with Cape Tripiti marking the edge of Europe in dramatic fashion.
