Chania, Crete Island, Greece
Anything I say about Chania is not enough. The city is the most beautiful in Crete. You have to visit. During summer is crouded but it is the best time of the year to visit. Do not forget to go to Venizelos' graves and admire the view of the city.

Irakleion, Crete Island, Greece
Make sure you know what time the ferry's leave, its a specific time each day. Also, its best to rent a car in Crete. Its a long distance, much farther than you would think, between cities and places to see. Go see Knossos Palace and Festos Palace, they are very interesting sites from the Minoan Culture, predating the ancient Greeks and Romans.

Milatos, Crete Island, Greece
Milatos is divided into 2 villages caled: Milatos and Milatos Beach.
The first one is a typical greek village located on the hills 1 km from the sea-shore and separated from it with an olive plantation.
Recently it became renovated and has 2 or 3 restaurants but i remember the times when usually there was no sales-person in the local shop and customers were able to take whatever they wanted and pay to for it just by leaving money on the desk.
It shows how much the inhabitants of Milatos trusted tourists.
The second one is, as the name suggests, located by the sea although there is no real beach area except some sand near the harbour. There are 2 supermarkets and plenty of taverns/seafood bars.
To sum up, it's a great place if you want to try fresh seafood and run away from loud, touristic resorts.

Ierapetra, Crete Island, Greece
My favourite place on earth - the fartherest point in Europe. Make this a definite stop off (Brad Pitt mentions it in 'Legends of the Fall').
