    Crete is really big for an Aegean island and has so many great beaches and places to see. Being into archeology and ancient civilizations, i've visited the Minoan Palace of Knossos (partly reconstructed), and also the Herakiion archeological Museum. There's also Roman ruins at Gortyna. The town of Rethymnon is interesting for its Old Town with its cobblestone streets. Samaria Gorge National Park is stunning. As usual a great video.
