Travellers who book cheap flights to Crete through Jet2.com could enjoy a number of activities which have been highlighted by a Greek official.
Angela Gerekou, deputy culture and tourism minister, said scuba diving and rural breaks could give the nation the edge over other holiday destinations.
She said the government is keen to "redefine the image" of the country, suggesting there is more to the Mediterranean hotspot than sun and sand.
"There's a great wish to cultivate the local cultural identity, Ms Gerekou remarked. "We need to give Greek tourism a new identity in the market it deserves."
Earlier this year, the Greek National Tourism Organisation argued the country is one of the top four most popular destinations in the world, revealing the goal of officials is to put it in the top spot.
The affordability of the nation is what makes it great draw for many holidaymakers every year, it suggested.
