Lavris is a destination that has loads of cool stories to tell. If you feel like your life's been a bit vanilla lately, a trip here is the perfect answer!
The country's capital, Athens, lies around 300 kilometres to the north of Lavris.
Fortezza Castle is in Rethymnon, 17 kilometres to the west. This terrific attraction is definitely worth the journey.
Consider having a picnic among the cool sea breeze at Golden Beach or Balos Beach.
Breathe in the fresh air and appreciate the natural surroundings of Lake Kournas. It sits 35 kilometres away from Lavris. You can also find a bit of peace and quiet at Sfendoni Cave, 20 kilometres away.
Don't just watch sport on the television, live it at Pankritio Stadium! Located 40 kilometres away in Heraklion, it's the ideal place to get your fix whether you're going for the home or away team.
If you want to head further afield, add a day trip to Melissourgakion to your travel plan. This place is 11 kilometres to the southeast and is the home of Arkadi Monastery and Melidoni Cave. Need more ideas? Anogia is 25 kilometres to the southeast of Lavris and offers Agios Dimitrios Church and Mount Ida.
Do a bit of shopping and visit some attractions in Heraklion. This place is 45 kilometres to the east and close to the Heraklion Archaeological Museum, the Natural History Museum of Crete and St. Mark's Basilica. That said, you won't want to miss Venetian Walls and the Heraklion Port either.
There's a whole world of unique flavours waiting to two-step across your taste buds in Rethymnon. With so many delectable things to gorge on, all you need to take along is a hearty appetite — and perhaps your stretchiest trousers.
Curious about some of the things that'll be dished up on your plate? There's a high chance they'll include chicken, pork or maybe even both.
Of course, you can't visit Lavris without sampling a plate of pilafi kritis (chicken pilaf) or moussaka (minced meat and aubergine casserole). Popular with the locals and considered specialty dishes, they are a must-try experience for any food-loving traveller.
If you're not one to say no to dessert, you're not going to be disappointed. Try loukoumades (deep fried pastry with honey), a scrumptious treat that's guaranteed to satisfy your sweet tooth.
Feeling a bit parched? Knock back a glass of Neda, a beer that should be on your bucket (or pint) list.
Whether you're a wine connoisseur or you've never been to a vineyard, you're sure to appreciate a glass of the local Savatiano Retsina or Nemea Agiorgitiko.
The good news is that Lavris will stay just where you found it, so this "Ta léme argótera" doesn't need to be your last!
Nikos Kazantzakis Airport (HER) is the nearest terminal, 50 kilometres to the east. Make sure you have enough time to get there.
Who said great service needs to cost an arm and a leg? You'll have a relaxing night's shut-eye at an even better price at the Hotel Babis and the Akti. But if you'd rather live a life of luxury while you're here, the Grecotel Club Marine Palace - All Inclusive or the Grecotel White Palace Luxury Resort- All Inclusive might be more to your liking. Just sit back, relax and let the experienced staff do what they do best.
