The southernmost of the European islands is an ideal spot for sleeping under the stars and remembering our origins, when human needs were limited to nature as beautiful as it is omnipresent.

Where to go to party?

While there is a lot to do and see in Greece, many tourists are more prosaically looking for the pleasure of the senses and the joy of sharing convivial and festive moments.

Mpalos beach, in the North of Crete is much less frequented by tourists because of the difficulty of access. After an hour's journey on small winding roads, you will have to finish on foot to contemplate the spectacle. But we assure you that the game is worth the candle! A shallow bay surrounded by unspoiled nature galloping urbanization and Olympian calm, we highly recommend! Finally to end this list, far from being exhaustive, a little detour to Milos. At the Sarakiniko beach is one of the most impressive in the country because here, there is no sand or pebbles, only a white and lunar rock surrounds you. Striking effect guaranteed!





Where to go in Greece with the family?

Greece is a country rich in its history, culture and environment. For children, it often acts as a paradise on earth as well as an inexhaustible playground. However, traveling with children still requires certain precautions and it is essential to be attentive to provide them with everything they need. Thus, it is preferable not to stray too far from the villages with all the amenities. Also avoid islands without a hospital to be on the safe side. The sun, if it is the creator of life, can also have undesirable effects.

Well planted on its volcanic caldera, the island is famous for its sunsets setting ablaze the azure of the Mediterranean.
