We spent two weeks exploring Crete, from the pink-tinged sand of Elafonisi to the lagoons of Gramvousa, the old town of Rethymno and the monastery at Arkadi, and shared our favourites in 10 breathtaking places to visit in Crete. Greece’s biggest island has a bit of everything, and it all looks good on camera.
Here are over 100 Crete captions for Instagram: short ones, funny ones, beach captions, old town and harbour captions, mountain and gorge captions, Cretan food captions, Greek captions, plus emojis and hashtags.
