WELCOME to the Flowers of Crete website.

" Many a flower is born to blush unseen and waste its sweetness on the desert air" – Thomas Grey

Crete is an island full of flowers, many of which are endemic and many of which can now be found in gardens throughout the world. Most famous of all these flowers are the wild, terrestrial orchids which can be found throughout the spring months, growing everywhere in an amazing abundance. Whether you favour daisies, lilies, anemones or crocus, Crete has plenty to offer. It is truly a nature-lovers paradise.


The aim of Flowers of Crete is to bring the rich and diverse flora of the island to a wider audience. For those who already know and love the island, it is hoped that our work will add a further dimension to your interests. To those of you who love flowers, but have never been on the island during the spring and autumn months, we offer a glimpse of just some of the spectacular range of flowers to be enjoyed here. High quality images of the flowers we have found this year can be seen on the calendar pages.

So please do take the time to explore these pages and feel free to get in touch: julia@flowersofcrete.info
Thankyou.
