where is the reliable information?
the issue

The flows already exist. They are just hard to read.

Visitors search for buses, beaches, activities, cars and areas to stay. Those signals tell how Crete is used in real time. Today, they remain scattered across platforms, private actors and public information.

what we build

A useful observatory, accessible to the public.

crete.direct brings together buses, the /explore map, beaches, activities, car rental, weather and points of interest. The goal: serve people now, while building a better reading of tourism usage by area.

our direction

From useful information to territorial balance.

The same layer can serve visitors, municipalities, transport operators, tourism professionals and the Region.

2026

Measure real usage

Requests, consulted areas, mobility needs, seasons, friction points and multilingual searches.

2027

Connect local actors

Municipalities, KTEL, activities, accommodation, rental operators and tourism offices around a shared reading.

2028+

Distribute flows better

Prepare new flows linked to Kastelli and encourage a more balanced discovery of the whole island.

our ask

Open a public-utility dialogue.

A conversation to explore a pilot mission around tourism flows, a data partnership, or cooperation around visitor information, mobility and territorial balance.
