Would definitely recommend Chania. Loved our stay there. The town the harbour lots to see do and eat! The Cretans are lovely people and I can't wait to return.

Ancient history lovers should make the relatively short drive to Dikteon Cave (park your car in Psychro village, and then make the small hike up to the cave - wear good shoes as the path is not the easiest to navigate as you near the top! On the way back to the village take a drink and bite to eat in one of the village cafes/restaurants overlooking the valley). Dikteon Cave is purported to be the Cave in which Zeus was born (or, more specifically, one of two caves on Crete which purport to be the birthplace of Zeus - the other being Ideon Cave, though Dikteon Cave is the far more beautiful and interesting cave). Of special archeological interest is that many small statues and other religious items ("votive" offerings) were excavated at Dikteon and predate the emergence of the Zeus mythology by more than 1000 years. Because of the numerous religious offerings predating the classical Greek gods, this cave really DOES feel like the birthplace of Zeus. Couple this with a later trip to the island of Mykonos with a short day boat to the smaller religious sanctuary island of Delos and visit the lake in which Zeus' children, Apollo and Artemis, were born for a truly "family affair"!

@toucantravellers Nice video guys! What time of the year did you visit the island? Thanks. I will def check out more of your videos. 😊
-
Good video....but you should have shown a map of where these places are....so people could decide to visit or not seeing as it is such a big island!

Informative video. Thanks . Did you fly in and out of Hania. We will be going to Crete in a couple of weeks and will rent a car, but thinking to avoid doubling back with our car and arriving in Hania and out of Heraklion. What did you do and do you have any suggestions . many thanks
