Western Crete is my happy placeit has venetian old harbour in Chania old townotherwise it's very spread out and has like 3/top 5 beaches in greece (Balos, Elafonissi, Falassarna)the beaches are filled with all kinds of sketchy people trying to sell shit to you or rob your shitThere are taverns I dream about and when I get back to them every few years the food is just as amazing.The best thing about greece is the relaxed vibes. I think crete is even more chill because its an island most tourists need to drive a supermini car so nobody is retarded and speeding like retards, instead you're just enjoying a drive to the beach or wherever.I explored the island more every time, been 3 times. Had a fucking blast. You just drive and wherever you get hungry there's on the map nearby some amazing family run tavern with delicious food.Falassarna beach is my favorite at the moment, perfect sand, huge beach, several other beaches nearby if you want to try them, usually almost 0 waves, fish in the water near the rocks if you want to swim under water, etc.
But Elafonissi is also incredible if the beach bridge to the island isn't partially flooded which makes the beach crowded.The water is out of this world.Every time I land in Crete I immediately relax and all my shit is left behind, I am in my happy place. Rent a car from the airport and just explore it all. I haven't bothered exploring the most populated heraklion area on the east side.
