Crete
Crete lies at the point where the continents of Europe, Asia and Africa meet. It is the fifth largest island in the Mediterranean with an area of 8,335 square kilometres.
The climate of Crete is probably the mildest in Europe. The strong north-westerly wind, the Meltemi also known as Mistral, moderates even the hottest months of July and August. Rainfall is rare during the summer months. Autumn is Crete's mildest season, when temperatures are often higher than in spring. The mountains that run across the island act as a barrier to the weather, often creating different conditions in northern and southern Crete.
Some of the most characteristic natural beauties of the Cretan scenery consist of the famous Cretan gorges which begin at the mountainous areas of the island and end to the sea. The green gorges abound with rare species of flora and fauna which are protected by strict rules, as they are unique throughout Greece. Among them, one can admire rare species of cypress-trees, platens (sycamores), pine-trees and wildflowers.
Crete has the facilities to host Meetings, Conferences and Incentives. Hotel properties with large Meeting space, adequate guest rooms and contemporary Spa. A 18 holes Golf course, the Plato of Lasithi for Jeep safari and traditional villages where you can revive the life of Crete in the 18th century. Antiquities such as the famous palace of the ancient civilisation of the Minoans (2000 BC)
