CRETE IS A LARGE ISLAND, 8,336 SQ KM TO BE PRECISE, SO MAKE SURE YOU’RE STAYING IN THE RIGHT AREA! THERE ARE 3 MAJOR CITIES IN CRETE, CHANIA (PRONOUNCED HA-NYA), RETHYMNO (PRONOUNCED AS YOU WOULD EXPECT) AND HERAKLION (PRONOUNCED IRAQ-LIO).
OUR WEDDING IS TAKING PLACE IN AND AROUND CHANIA SO WE RECOMMEND STAYING IN ANY OF THE AREAS IN AND SURROUNDING HALEPA ALL THE WAY TO AGIA MARINA. THE CHURCH IS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THOSE TWO PLACES AND THE RECEPTION IS ABOUT A 25 MINUTE DRIVE DOWN THE MAIN HIGHWAY FROM THE CHURCH.
SOME OTHER NOTABLE AREAS THAT ARE BEAUTIFUL BUT SLIGHTLY FURTHER OUT FROM THE MAIN AREAS ARE STAVRO, MARATHI AND LOUTRO, ALTHOUGH WE RECOMMEND RENTING A CAR IF YOU CHOOSE TO STAY IN THOSE AREAS.
