With the central message “Crete. Sense the Authentic,” the Region of Crete is building a tourism campaign inviting potential visitors to discover everything that creates the unique tourism experience of Crete.

The new promotional video, titled “Top Things to Do,” invites visitors to experience the unique adventures the island has to offer.

After all, Crete is a place that provides unique travel experiences year-round. From the grape harvest and raki distillation in autumn, to alpine skiing and the festive spirit of the Carnival in winter, and from the solemn atmosphere of Easter in spring to refreshing dives in its crystal-clear waters in summer, Crete is a destination where the authentic hospitality of the locals invites you to experience it 365 days a year.

In his statement, the Governor of Crete, Stavros Arnaoutakis, says:
"Millions of visitors each year confirm this. Crete earns a special place in their hearts and memories. Whatever their plans, no matter the season they arrive on our island, this place is full of surprises for everyone. The authenticity of its people and the uniqueness of its landscape make Crete truly special."
