Crète
Preference Events organises your conventions, seminars and incentive trips in Crete and throughout Greece.
With a surface area of 8336 km2, Crete is the 5th largest island in the Mediterranean, behind Sicily, Sardinia, Cyprus and Corsica. It has been part of Greece since 1913, but has nevertheless retained a strong identity, no doubt due to its island status.
Known as ‘The Island of the Gods’, according to Greek mythology, Crete is the birthplace of Zeus, the supreme Greek God.
Chania and Heraklion are the only (small) towns on the island, and both have airports (only served from France in spring and summer). Crete is mainly made up of fishing villages that stretch out along its coastline and add to the charm of this island, which you can choose to organise an incentive trip or seminar close to nature and the sea.
With three mountain ranges (including the famous White Mountains), a multitude of beaches (including Elafonisi, Almyros Beach, Preveli Beach, etc.) as well as numerous caves, gorges and plateaux dotted with olive trees, the largest of the Greek islands also offers a historical heritage and a mythological legacy that will serve as a common thread in the organisation of team-building activities during your event in Crete.
Its pleasant Mediterranean climate for most of the year and the development of a quality hotel industry at competitive rates make Crete an ideal destination for organising a company trip close to nature.
Crete is an exceptional destination, combining sea and culture, whatever the nature of the event you want to organise for your company. Seminars, conventions, incentive trips and board meetings can all be organised here at a reasonable budget – one of the most competitive in Europe!
Crete, formerly known as the ‘Island of Candia’, will combine Greek mythology, wild nature and heavenly beaches for your corporate trip…
The combination of culture and relaxation makes Crete an ideal destination for an incentive trip, seminar or convention. The only obstacle for large groups will be the difficulty of finding flights, so a charter will no doubt be necessary!
