Crete in Spring

Crete has a truly spectacular spring floral display with great swathes of colour that sit cheek by jowl with wonderful scenery and famed archaeological sites. Anemones, Tulips and Orchids cloak the unspoiled mountainous country. We can expect to see around thirty species of Orchid, including some of the rarest and most beautiful in Europe.  Elegant groups of Widow Irises, Cretan Arums and Fritillaries adorn the limestone slopes. We will explore the magnificent White Mountains and the slopes of Mount Ida. In these high areas are stunning groups of pretty Crocus sieberi and the limestone slopes are awash with a pink haze of Tulipa bakeri. This is a very relaxing holiday with a guaranteed wild flower show which will live forever in your memory. For more details, please download the attached itinerary.
