About Crete

Crete is the largest Greek island and arguably the most complete destination in the Mediterranean — ancient Minoan civilization, the dramatic Samaria Gorge, some of Europe's finest beaches, and a cuisine that food writers make pilgrimages specifically to experience.

Known for its Minoan ruins, Samaria Gorge, Elafonisi beach, Cretan cuisine, Crete is one of the world's most sought-after travel destinations. Whether you're planning a honeymoon, a destination wedding, a group adventure, or a solo journey, The Wedding Unicorn handles every detail — from flights and accommodations to private excursions and special occasion touches.
