In addition, the island of Crete is the birthplace of Zeus, the most formidable god on Olympus.

Crete is considered one of the most «advanced» tourist regions of Greece, especially favored by tourists are the resorts of Elounda and Agios Nikolaos.
No less popular is another large island in the Mediterranean Sea – Rhodes. It is considered a youth resort and is famous for its extraordinarily beautiful butterflies, abundance of historical monuments, and original ceramic products. Rhodes is located near Turkey, so the eastern flavor is clearly evident here. This island is an ideal place for windsurfing or diving.
