Unique beauty of Crete - I really enjoyed this cruise. The beaches are amazing. I've never seen such amazing scenery before. This is the perfect way to experience the unique beauty of the island. I enjoyed the food they offered on boat and the staff were very friendly, especially when I felt a bit nauseous they immediately helped me out. I'm planning to revisit this year with my boyfriend and I know for sure this is the No1 reservation I'm going to make.
