Holidays to Kavros

Crete has a distinctly independent feel to it compared to mainland Greece, and there's nowhere better to experience it than the beach resorts of Kavros. With sandy beaches in front of you, look left to the town of Georgioupolis with its pretty church and marina and right to the old Venetian city of Rethymnon. It’s a great base for exploring the region – if you can drag yourself off the sands and away from the hospitality of the beach tavernas that is.
