NEXT STOP-Crete Greece

These days I think about traveling to the seaside. Crete in Greece, seems to be popular destination for youth. You can enjoy wild nightlife, clubbing, boat riding. And also Crete has very old, ancient history.







Crete was the center of the Minoan civilization, a sophisticated Bronze Age culture from 2600-1150 B.C.: the island bears witness to their achievements in the form of palaces, tombs and sacred sites. This civilization was so sophisticated that they even had a large navy. The Minoan decline was likely initiated by tsunami waves from the eruption of a huge volcano in Santorini, Greece in 1450 B.C. Towards the end of the Late Bronze Age, the Minoans were superseded by Mycenaeans from the Greek mainland. Thereafter, Crete very much followed in the classical mainstream of Greece and - much later - Rome.

This is what I found on wikitravel, and some of the reasons I want to visit Crete. Also my mother told me that it is breath taking, so she wanted to fall on the ground when she frist saw the Island :)
