Think summer with Smart-Holidays. If you have never visited Crete before then maybe this year is your chance to discover the beauty, sunny weather, best tasting food and the friendly atmosphere. For those who where on Crete before...well, you know what we are talking about.

Crete is the fifth largest island in the Mediterranean with a land mass of approximately 8,331sqm. It is 255 km long and varies between 12 km and 56 km in width and there is one place in eastern Crete where one can see both the Cretan and Libyan seas. The island is divided into four administrative regions, known as Nomos, Chania in the West, Rethymnon and Heraklion in the Centre of Crete and Lassithi in the East. The magnificent landscape of Crete is very mountainous with great gorges, caves and high plains. There are four mountain ranges, the Ida mountains in central Crete (2,456m high), the Lefka Ori or the White Mountains (2,452m high) in the west, the Dikti Mountains (2,148m high) and the Sitia Mountains (1,476m high in the east of the island.

Smart Holidays for some years was the trading name of a tourism product developed by Minotours Hellas, Rethymno Tours, and Kalamaki Travel in Crete. Currently, aiming at providing a better service to its clients, the three offices have formed a new company under the same name which is operating from its head office in Rethymnon.
