Incredible Crete has a wonderful collection of information about Crete, with beautiful videos, images, and sections on nature, history, beaches, travel planning, gastronomy, agrotourism and religious tourism. The extensive listing of hotels, villas, cottages and rooms for rent will delight the visitor. Presented by the Region of Crete, it also covers alternative travel. We love the icons based on Minoan script and the refreshing campaign 'Crete - Surprisingly Yours'. The videos have a great sense of humour and really hit the atmosphere of the island.
