An island to the south of mainland Greece that's full of superlatives: beautiful women; interesting costumes; one of the few areas of Greece where the dialects have "ch" and "sh" sounds,unlike pure Greek; and last but not least, very busy-for-the-feet folk dances like Pentozali and Maleviziotikos. Crete is the home of the unusual Minoan civilization, with its red building columns and frequent depictiona of minotaurs and dolphins.
