It feels like a small country. Mountain gorges, Minoan palaces 4,000 years old, beaches that look photoshopped, and a food culture that puts most of mainland Greece to shame. The Cretans have their own accent, their own cheese, their own spirit (raki — they&rsquo;ll pour you one whether you ask or not), and a fierce pride that makes sense the moment you arrive.</p>
