Holidays in Ethia

If the Chrissie money you got from Mum and Dad is burning a hole in your wallet, why not spend it on a holiday to Ethia? We promise — it'll be a gift that keeps on giving!

The country's capital, Athens, lies about 360 kilometres to the north of Ethia.

Does relaxing on the shore sound tempting? Take the family to Komos Beach or Beach of Matala.

Travel a little out of Ethia and you'll be treated to some picturesque natural sights. Just 30 kilometres away, Cave of Psychro is a splendid spot to fill your lungs with fresh air. Also consider exploring Sfendoni Cave, 50 kilometres away from Ethia.

If you're the type of traveller who loves to experience the true local vibe of the area you're visiting, Freedom National Stadium should be number one on your to-do list. Look into what live games are on while you're visiting and roar along with excited local sports fans. You'll find the arena 40 kilometres away in Heraklion.

Viannos, 20 kilometres to the east, is well known for Sidonia Beach and the Amiras Memorial. Why not make your way there and go to these outstanding attractions? Alternatively, head to Venerato, 30 kilometres to the northwest of Ethia, for Shrine at Anemospilia and Gortyna.

Plan on going to Faistos? This destination is only 35 kilometres to the west. If you're staying here a little while, make sure you check out Palace of Phaistos, Phaistos and Agia Triada. Also consider stopping in at Propylon and Central Court.

To really experience a place is to taste its food and drink, so get set to crunch, munch, slurp and sip your way through Heraklion. The only thing you need to bring with you is a hearty appetite!

Want some insight into the local food? We suggest you get an appreciation for chicken and pork, two traditional ingredients used in a variety of dishes here.

Are you searching for an iconic Ethia eating experience? There are some specialty dishes to keep an eye out for, such as pilafi kritis (chicken pilaf) and moussaka (minced meat and aubergine casserole).

Loukoumades (deep fried pastry with honey) is a dessert that summarises this place in just a single mouthful. Order up a serving and then get another to go!

Is there anything more refreshing than knocking back a glass of beer topped off with a fluffy, white head? Satisfy your thirst and rub shoulders with a few locals over a round or two of Neda.

Whether you're a full-blown grape chaser or you struggle to get the cork out of a bottle, you'll appreciate the regional Savatiano Retsina or Nemea Agiorgitiko.

Before you say "Ta léme argótera" to Ethia, check your pockets for any stray change that you can spend on last-minute keepsakes.

When the time arrives to pack up your bag and head back home, the nearest terminal, Nikos Kazantzakis Airport (HER), is 40 kilometres to the north.

Very comfortable cottage with everything we needed in a beautiful setting. The switchbacks getting in and out were a bit daunting but we got used to them. Friendly hosts who gave good information on the area.
