The largest and most populous of Greek Islands, Crete is said to be the birthplace of Zeus, king of the Greek gods. Of course, there's more to the island than history and mythology with striking mountain scenery, fertile valleys and over 650 miles of stunning coastline, not to mention the longest summer in all of Greece.
