Crete tourist guide

The best Polish website dedicated to the Greek island Crete and to a small extent of continental Greece. You will find useful information related to visiting Crete that goes beyond the offer of optional tours. On the website you will also find descriptions of the most interesting places that we visited by visiting this largest Greek island. The content complements the current news, photographs and recipes of Greek cuisine.

Pocket guide RM Kreta from the inside

RM Crete from the inside The Discovery Channel guide published by the RM Publishers in 2007 is a 120-page translation of the English collective study. The main author of the texts is Brigitte Seckendorff-Kourgierakis , who, while working on this guide, crossed Crete along the breadth. For this reason, this book is a special item on our market because it is based on the experience of the author and her friends. This is a huge advantage of this publication, which distinguishes it among other guides, which are subsequent reprints of anonymous studies containing sometimes untested or outdated information. The Discovery Guide guarantees that the author of the texts was in the places she describes, looked at them and got to know a bit.

Also in the field of illustration, the creators did not go for the easy way and did not use someone else's nameless photos which are full of banks. The vast majority of photographs are written by Maria Siri , but also the names of other photographers, photos of which have been included in this book, have not been omitted. Unfortunately, their print is not of the best quality despite the use of chalk paper. The quality of the photos is also influenced by their somewhat archival character, which is largely due to the date of the first original issue in 2002.

The guide opens up a quite significant, for this type of book, a chapter on the history and culture of Crete, which ended with a summary of the most important historical events that took place on the island. Such an introduction introduces the reader into the world of the Cretans, their historical and moral experiences. This part of the guide should pay special attention to people who go to Crete for the first time.

The following chapters describe the proposals of 24 routes divided according to the prefectures (nomos) of Crete: Chania, Rethymno, Heraklion and Lasithi. Description of excursions in each prefecture begins with a short introduction and a tour of the main city of the described nomos. Then there are detailed descriptions of the routes located in this area of ​​Crete. Some of the routes have been supplemented with small plans of the visited city.

With each chapter there is a plan of the prefecture with all marked routes marked. Such a solution makes it easier to find the places discussed and allows for an approximate determination of the time needed for a given trip. Unfortunately, the guide is devoid of this information and the total length of the described route.

In this guide you will not find detailed descriptions of places typical for other publications. Stories of successive intermediate points are arranged into one whole creating a colorful story leading us along a given route. There are often references to the most interesting events related to a given place. The museums usually contain opening hours, descriptions of the most important Minoan palaces and ancient cities have been enriched with illustrations containing plans for excavations.

The last section of the guide is In my free time , in which the authors try to explain the Greek cuisine, explaining what dishes are hidden under the original names, what products are worth to bring from Crete and when the Cretans celebrate important holidays for them. The publication closes the last section with Practical Information . It is worth looking into it, especially if you plan to spend your holidays in Crete, we are going to move on its own. Here you will find useful information about the road habits of Crete or the basic Greek phrases.

Complementing the information contained in the guide is a small map attached, on which all the routes and plans of the four cities of Crete have been marked. There is also an index of towns, monuments, major places and beaches. The map itself is not very accurate, the road network is quite schematic, but will allow you to have a relatively good orientation in the area.

So far, on the occasion of almost every trip to Crete, we took the Discovery guide with us. We were encouraged by a large number of interesting facts and an original way of narrating, which distinguishes this guide from other publications available on the market. Perhaps it is not a typical compendium of knowledge, where you will find detailed descriptions of many places, but it can be a perfect complement to such an encyclopedic guide. The proposed routes are really interesting and can be a good base for exploring Crete. If you are interested in getting to know this island intensively, you should consider buying this pocket item.

Pocket guide Dumont - Crete

The Dumont booklet from Crete (in Poland printed by PWN) is another very handy pocket publication that is sold at a reasonable price of less than PLN 20. Despite its small size, Klaus Bötig, who is the author of this guide, managed to put quite a lot of interesting information in this position.

gość Marek: No i rzeczywiście, prognozy się sprawdziły. Wczoraj pogoda fatalna na całej Krecie ale za to dziś, już ponownie przepiękna pogoda i cudownie świeci słoneczko. Pozdrowienia z Jerapetry
Jestem od niedzieli na Thasos, pogoda słoneczna, temperatury 22-26 stopni. Sprawdzając prognozy przed wylotem, byłam przerażona, ale na szczęście jest zupełnie odwrotnie
A kwiecień był super
Już jest czerwiec :o o matulu. Turcja też zimna w tym roku
gość PiotrWie: My byliśmy od 7 do 31 maja na Cykladach, było rzeczywiście zimniej niż zwykle ( od 2012 roku jeździmy corocznie w maju do Grecji) ale myślę że pomimo tego że kol. w Sztokholmie miał kilka stopni więcej w dzień niż w Grecji to w nocy miał ich zdecydowanie mniej więc w sumie było zimniej.
gość Waldek: W tej chwili dostępny jest tylko parking płatny. Dalszy wjazd bliżej plaży i parkowanie pod drzewami jest niemożliwe bo zagrodzili drogę. Koszt parkingu to 5E za cały dzień.Parkng najbliżej wejście jest naprzeciwko resortu Elafonisi.
Doświadczyliśmy na własnej skórze.
Ale od Soboty to wyglada na to ze caly tydzien calkiem sloneczyny ☀️
W tym roku będąc w Sztokholmie w maju miałem wyższe temperatury niż na Krecie.
gość PiotrWie : Może przynajmniej nauczą się trochę oszczędzać wodę - bo jak widzieliśmy jak leją hektolitrami chodniki przed domami to stwierdzaliśmy że woda w Grecji musi być bardzo tania i marnują ją w sposób tragiczny.
Gosia | crete.pl : Dzięki za spostrzegawczość :) Faktycznie nie uaktualniliśmy tej informacji.
gość Waldek: Bilet łączony uprawniający do wejścia na teren muzeum oraz na wykopaliska w maju 2023 to koszt” 20 € 
Zmiana klimatu W tym roku było bardzo mało opadów deszczu
Super miejsce piękne widoki
Ale super.
Polka na Kretowisku: Pogoda taka że nic tylko pić
Czu gdzieś jest dostępna lista winiarni na zachodniej części wyspy?
Jak jest jakaś dobra impreza, to albo przed moim urlopem, albo chwilę po.
CRETE - Kreta: We wtorek 23 maja wąwóz Samaria będzie udostępniony na całej długości. Otwarte będą również oba wejścia: Xyloskalo oraz Agia Roumeli.
Mikor ott jártunk nem volt nyitva, de így is nagy élményt jelentett számukra.
