CRETE - THE PLACE TO FILM
Each route in Crete is unique. One can encounter emerald beaches, sand dunes, rocky summits, verdant mountains, deep gorges, scenic ponds, woods, wetlands, vineyards, and ancient olive groves. Crete boasts an amazing diversity of locations, from vibrant cities to picturesque villages, desolate settlements, and some truly exotic islets. The multicultural past of Crete, the birthplace of the first sophisticated European civilization, the Minoan, is apparent in the remains from the Roman, the Byzantine, the Venetian, and the Ottoman era. The extraordinary natural beauty of the island with almost 300 days of sunlight combined with the expertise of filming professionals and local business along with a variety of lodgings and the renowned traditional cuisine, establish Crete as an ideal destination for filming.
Crete offers unique experiences for the people in the film industry and an unparallel "filming set". Crete will not let you forget it. It gives you Ariadne’s thread to return no matter how far you go. The power of its people, the genuine expression of the Cretan philotimo i.e., love of honor, the non-negotiable sense of pride, of stoutheartedness, of the Cretan hospitality, set a special tone for the artistic expression in filming. Crete is easily accessible with three international airports and three ports and the perfect set for your next filming project.
