Conference Venue

 

The gorgeous island of Crete, on the southern portion of the Aegean Sea, is one of Greece’s most diverse islands. Blessed with miles of pristine beaches, an eventful history, and glorious mountains, there are many reasons why many dreams to have this favorite holiday destination become a reality. 

 

Believed to be the birthplace of Zeus (Greek god), Crete is the biggest of the Greek Islands and the fifth largest of the islands situated in the Mediterranean Sea. It is divided into four prefectures which are: Chania, Rethymno, Heraklion, and Lasithi. Within each area are unique treasures engrossed in legends that conceal their fate. From the prominent Minoan Civilization to Venetian Rule, much of Crete’s heritage is manifested in the forms of architecture and archeological ruins.
