Also there's a Happy Train that runs (I think) between Hersonissos & Malia if you wanted a leisurely trip between resorts. Don't know the price though.

Thanks that might be quite nice if a nice day

Caves at Zoniana are good.
Rethymon in is a lovely place, prefer it to Chania. Venetian harbour and streets.
Worth a trip to the south to see Matala and Agia Galini (same day trip).
Personally, I'd hire a car for atleast 5 days, plenty to do.
Heraklion not worth visiting. Agreed with another poster that Knossos is disappointing, would also rather see it as it should be now, not artificially restored.

We stayed in Rethymnon - lovely little village. Took the bus to Knossos - glad I've been, buut not that amazing.

If you're into walking, take a day to walk Samaria Gorge. It's a beautiful walk through some amazing landscapes.

The bus drops you at the top of the gorge and you walk down to the seashore. Took OH and I around 5 hours strolling, so take lots of water and some lunch and nibbles. Spend a couple of hours on the beach resting your legs and swimming, then get the ferry back to the bus stop. There is no other way out, so don't miss the last ferry like we nearly did!

Thanks all

Not sure how much walking will be done due to current health issues but handy to know all this info
Had read about some caves which I do fancy
