Samaria Gorge - Many travelers spend a day trekking though the stupendous 18km (11mi) Samaria Gorge to get to Agia Roumeli on the southwest coast. Apart from its beauty, the gorge is teeming with wildlife and wildflowers.
Hania - is the largest city in Western Crete. It's swamped with beautiful Venetian and Turkish buildings and this, along with its harbourside setting, white onion-domed churches, and winding paved laneways make it ideal camera-bait.
Iraklio - Iraklio's two main squares are Plateia Venizelou and Plateia Eleftherias. Plateia Venizelou is the heart of the city and the city's major intersection is south of here.
Knossos - is located in a beautiful site just southeast of Iraklio, is the most magnificent, intricate and evocative of Crete's Minoan sites. To give visitors an idea of what the palace looked like, its discoverer, Sir Arthur Evans, had parts of it reconstructed.
