In the splendid west of the island of Crete, bordered by white-sand beaches and dominated by the magnificent White Mountains soaring up to 2,500 metres, the lush hillsides are watered by springs, rivers and lakes and are dotted with picturesque villages. There is a palpable sense of history and tradition here, with Byzantine chapels and monasteries, historic villages and the fascinating Venetian town of Chania serving as constant reminders of the historic struggle of the islanders.
The word 'idyllic' was created to describe places like this - it was relaxing and magical, beautiful and atmospheric...heavenly!
