{"id":250,"count":7,"description":"\r\n\r\nCrete has a \u201cthousand faces\u201d \u2013 and this is no hyperbole!\r\n\r\nIf there is one thing that characterizes this island, it is the rich and diverse terrain, its wonderful climate conditions and the ever-changing landscape they together create. Every journey around Crete combines often austere and naked, and others lushly-wooded mountainscapes through small valleys and rolling hills with olive trees and vineyards. Steep and gentle slopes are carpeted with aromatic herbs. The beaches are just as distinct, each one with its own natural beauty and shape, sometimes secluded and tiny, other times stretching for miles. You will never get bored in Crete<\/a>; there is always a new viewpoint or place, a unique ecosystem, or region of outstanding natural beauty and diverse habitat to explore.\r\n
