The island of Antikythera lies just south of the Peloponnese peninsula and northwest of Crete. It is a growing holiday destination thanks to its remote location and rugged beauty, as well as the discovery of the Antikythera mechanism, an ancient Greek astronomical device, in a nearby shipwreck.
Crete, meanwhile, is Greece's largest, and one of its most famous islands, attracting around five million visitors every year. The island features stunning beaches, mountains, gorges and fertile valleys, offering a variety of natural beauty. The island is home to the Palace of Knossos and other Minoan ruins, attracting history enthusiasts.
