    Yacht Charter Greece- Crete
      Athens, Crete, Evia, Elafonissos, Cyprus  
     

    Many of the major coast towns like Iraklion, Malia, have been taken over by British package tours and high impact tourism, meaning big fancy resort hotels with swimming pools, Zorba the Greek restaurants, tennis courts and so on. If you go for that sort of thing, which many people do, then you have some of the best in Greece with a backdrop of one of the most facinating and beautiful islands in the country.

    But if you are the adventerous type who shies away from such places just take the boat toChania, the bus to Omalos and walk down the Samarian Gorge. Most people stay in tinyAgia Roumeli long enough for a beer and to catch the next boat to Chora Sfakia, but there are rooms to rent and the few days I spent there at the end of my trip down the Gorge were some of my best days in Greece.

     I have a couple internet pals who rave about Chora Sfakia and Plakias. With the southern coast it is a matter of finding the town you like best. In the north the cities of Rethymnon and Chania have nice old harbors lined with restaurants and cafes.

    Iraklion is a city, noisy and crowded. The South coast is busy with tourists, but the beaches are nice and if you don't mind doing a little walking you can get away. The hippie villages of Matala, Paliohora, Agia Galina,and Loutra are now pretty much full-blown resort towns in the summer. Try the east or western tips of Crete. Palekastro has several nice beaches that are fairly uninhabited and the most amazing wind I have ever experienced.

    The beach at Vai claims to be the only palm-tree forest in all of Europe (it isn't) and as you might imagine full of tour buses during the day. Kato Zakrois a small village on the coast at the bottom of a deep ravine cut into the rocks. The western part of Crete in the area known as Kastelli, there are small villages and beautiful beaches. The whole island is full of Minoan ruins, medieval fortresses and active monasteries and a guidebook is essential (unless you don't care about that kind of stuff).

    Save this island for the off-season if you can. It is big and really a country in itself. Follow small roads to tiny villages and unknown beaches. Boats leave Pireaus for Iraklion, Rethymnon and Chania in Crete every evening at around 8 or 9. There are less frequent boats to Agios Nikolaos and Sitia. In the summer there is usually a daily highspeed to the Cyclades. A couple days a week a ferry connects Santorini and some of the Cyclades to Crete and continues to Kassos and Karpathos and goes to Rhodes, and then returns. There is also one boat a week to and from Thessaloniki which stops in the Cyclades and Skiathos, or there was.
