Is Crete, Greece a good place to vacation?
Is the beach okay to swim in? Do most speak english there? What activities are there to do? Is Crete or Athens better to visit?
Crete is a wonderful island to vacation and one of the most popoular in Greece. It’s quite big and there are many options / avtivities for someone who wants to visit it. The beach is clear and I think their english is very good, you won’t have any problem with that. Both Athens and Crete are great to visit.
