Greece is gifted with a rich cultural heritage. From white cube villages filled with churches, to the ancient relics of a Byzantine era, this mountainous and hilly country bears no sign of its eventful history. Today, the harmony of its inhabitants and its landscapes make this one of the most enticing destinations in Europe.


There are over 2,000 Greek Islands scattered about the eastern Mediterranean. The largest of them is Crete. From the mountainous terrain in the middle of the island, down through the twisted olive groves to the dazzling beaches that fringe the island, Crete has it all.


Explore the mountains on foot or by bike, indulge yourself in one of the many tavernas where the scent of rosemary and lamb drifts, or head for the sea where the crystal waters are perfect for scuba diving and treating your skin. Bathing in these mineral rich waters has been a tradition for thousands of years and you can now enjoy the same in the Thalassotherapy spa at the Blue Palace.
