About the place

Crete, the largest of the Greek islands, is rich
in ancient and modern Mediterranean
cultures. Apart from the archaeological sites, the museums,
and the
spectacular scenery, it is an island with a reputation for
hospitality and good
food. The University of Crete is located in two towns on the
north coast
of the island: Rethymnon and Heraklion. Both
towns claim to a lively society and offer a host of social and
cultural events
and activities to meet the varied interests of all visitors.
