How to spend 5 days in Crete

[redsoxdw_]

Crete is one of those places that requires at least 5 days, but in my opinion it's best to go for at least one week, especially if you want to travel to all of the different cities. As always with Crete, I recommend renting a car and traveling to the different parts. This video shows a good outline of what can be done in a few days, the only thing that would take away is visiting Spinalonga island, in my opinion its not worth it and there's not much to see, only if youre very interested in the history.

The Chania segment is right on target for experiencing the variety that Chania has to offer in a very short period of time. Salis is a new restaurant; for a more laid back traditional taverna, I’d add a recommendation for the fisherman-owned Taverna Vasiliko right next door.

Vasiliko looks great, right on the water!

After five days in Crete you'll want to keep coming back for more! This is a great video, though, and I totally agree with its advice.
