Chania, a Cretan destination easily accessible through Heraklion airport transfers, is one of seven unknown holiday destinations recently featured in an article published by online business portal Business Insider.

Still largely unknown, despite its steady rise in popularity over the past few years, Chania is one of the most popular destinations in the Greek island of Crete, alongside the capital Heraklion itself. This article justifies its inclusion as the first item on their list by mentioning the region’s vast array of idyllic beaches and quaint hilltop towns, as well as its perfect balance between quiet relaxation spots, cultural landmarks and just enough nightlife and activity to please younger or more demanding tourists.

Aside from the locations themselves, the Business Insider’s piece also highlights Chania’s offer of seafood restaurants, its relative lack of tourists and the ease of access to it through Heraklion airport transfers as strong arguments in favour of looking into this region as a potential holiday destination.

Crete as a whole, and Chania and Heraklion in particular, have experienced a steady surge in touristic popularity over the past few decades, as travellers attracted to the Greek coast begin to look towards the island as a valid, less explored and potentially more affordable option. However, while tourist traffic has been on the rise in this island (increasing the need for Heraklion airport transfers) it remains unexplored enough to retain its local charm and attract visitors looking for a more authentic holiday experience. Its inclusion on this list reflects that fact, although it simultaneously risks doing away with that status quo by bringing attention to the island.

Other relatively unexplored but worthwhile destinations in what is a comprehensive and relatively diversified list include Vilnius, in Lithuania, Alghero (in the Sardinian region of Italy), the major polish town of Krakow, Spanish beach resort Formentera, Engelberg (Switzerland) and the Slovenian capital of Ljubljana.
