Kapsaliana Village Hotel review: a historic adventure in Crete 

There’s a modern take on the village which dates back to 1763

Kapsaliana Village Hotel in Crete

Crete is a majestic island which, despite its tourist numbers, is utterly unspoilt and wild. Feeling remote and off the well-travelled path here is easy; there’s only a single main road, the coastal highway, which runs from east to west.

Drop south anywhere and you’re on winding mountain tracks; flanked by endless olive trees, you’ll meander through the occasional village, often home to a tree-shaded square, a friendly taverna and a few Cretans sipping strong coffee or cold beer.
