Για 10η χρονιά η Περιφέρεια Κρήτης () αποτελεί έναν σταθερό και πολύτιμο συνοδοιπόρο στο ταξίδι του The Crete Trip, στηρίζοντας έμπρακτα μια πρωτοβουλία που αναδεικνύει την αυθεντική ταυτότητα και τη μοναδική ομορφιά της Κρήτης ().

Και φέτος, είχαμε τη χαρά να νιώσουμε ξανά τη θερμή φιλοξενία, την εμπιστοσύνη και την ουσιαστική υποστήριξή της.🙏

Ευχαριστούμε θερμά την Περιφέρεια Κρήτης για τη διαχρονική παρουσία της ως συνδιοργανώτρια του . Η πίστη σας στη δύναμη των νέων και η έμπρακτη επένδυση σε πρωτοβουλίες που ενώνουν ανθρώπους, ιδέες και πολιτισμούς μάς εμπνέουν να συνεχίζουμε με το ίδιο πάθος.

Together, we celebrate the spirit of Crete and the power of youth to shape a more connected, creative, and inclusive Europe.

DAY 5 RECAP 🍍💦

One last splash before the end…
We closed this journey the best way possible — with iconic waterpark chaos, endless laughs, and memories we’ll be talking about forever 🌊☀️

Already missing it. Already wanting it all over again. Thank you for making The Crete Trip 2026 such an experience🫧🥺.

DAY 4 RECAP 🍍🔥
Sun-soaked beaches, neon skies & nonstop vibes ✨🌊

We started the day☀️ in Sitia, made skioufixta pasta, learned traditional dances💃, planted trees 🌳, attended the “Futute is Erasmus” Panel 🇪🇺 and many more parallel actions during the Erasmus Village Expo.

From the crystal waters of Vai Beach and wild Colour Fights 🎨🔥to seaside magic in Sitia 🌅

And then… sky lanterns lighting up the night before an unforgettable beachside hotel party 🌙
Music loud, energy unreal, memories made for life💫

Day 3 was pure magic ✨

From stepping into the legendary halls of Palace of Knossos and discovering the heart of the Minoan Civilization 🏛️, to wandering through the beautiful streets of Agios Nikolaos 🌅

Then came the moment we’ll never forget — cruising across the sea, music blasting, sunsets glowing, and everyone dancing 🌊🛥️🪩

Laughter, energy, unforgettable vibes, and memories made for a lifetime ✨
