Explore Crete at its best
Welcome to Diktynna
Crete is more than an island —
it’s a world of its own.
From its formidable mountain ranges to its secluded southern shores, Crete is steeped in myth and mystery. To discover the island’s eternal soul, a local insider is essential. Beyond the seaside glamour and urban clamour, a different Crete awaits those who know where to look.
