Crete Travel Map & Guide
A curated Google Map with 40+ handpicked pins across Crete, built from 3 weeks of exploring the island myself.
Every pin includes my personal notes, photos, price ranges and honest tips — the kind of detail you'd get from a friend who just got back.
Comes with the Crete travel ebook: region-by-region checklists, base point guides for Chania, Heraklion, Rethymno, Elounda and Plakias, and practical advice on getting around.
Thank you
You've been googling "Crete itinerary" for an hour. Sound familiar?
Where should we base ourselves? Do we really need a car?
Which beaches are worth going to, which ones are too crowded or too expensive?
Is Balos as crowded as everyone says?
The answers exist. They're just scattered everywhere. I spent three weeks collecting them so you don't have to.
Thank you
