Hello,
Crete is one of the most amazing sites in Greece. It's full of life, history, amazing beaches and wonderful welcoming people. It is quite a big island, so it offers many kinds of attractions for different types of travellers.
On the northern coast reside the bigger towns, Chania and Heraclion, each having an international airport, and Rethymnon ang Aghios Nicolaos, smaller but very nice.
Chania and Rethymnon have a venetian influence in their buildings, since they have been under the Venetian Republic occupation for several year, whilst Heraklion hosts one of the most beautiful ancient archaeological sites.
Still, the best part of Crete is the southern coast. Wild on the western side, with sharp cliffs running to the sea, and canyons in the inner area. This is also the most traditional part of Crete.
The eastern coast hosts beautiful luxurious resorts, fine sand beaches and gold shallow sea. More suitable for families or people that like relaxing on the beach!
