When packing for a trip to Crete, don't forget the essentials like your visa, passport, chargers, camera, some euro and the correct power adaptor. Clothing wise, check out the seasonality guides and pack to suit the conditions - aka some warmer layers for winter and lighter options for summer. Other necessities include a walking shoes, hat, sunglasses, sunscreen and a solid rotation of swimwear - gotta look good when you post pics on the ‘gram, right?

Crete’s nature as an island means you can roam far and wide, scoping out the best places to snorkel and swim. Accommodation wise, most travellers will opt to stay in the coastal towns of Agia Pelagia or Agios Nikolaos.
