The Region of Crete, in partnership with the Greek National Tourism Organization's Netherlands office, hosted Dutch travel blogger and photographer Lisa Vermeer from May 25 to 30, 2026. Vermeer, a well-known figure in the Dutch travel media landscape, visited the island as part of an effort to promote Crete to Dutch-speaking audiences. During her stay, she documented locations across the island, creating content that will reach a large online following in the Netherlands. The Netherlands is one of Crete's key tourist source markets, and this type of hosted press trip is a standard tool used by regional tourism authorities to drive awareness ahead of the summer season. Visitors from the Netherlands planning a trip to Crete can expect increased destination coverage across Dutch travel platforms and social media in the coming weeks.
