Crete es la isla más grande y más poblada de Grecia, la 89.ª isla más grande del mundo y la quinta isla más grande del mar Mediterráneo, después de Sicilia, Cerdeña, Chipre y Córcega. Crete está ubicada aproximadamente a 100 km (62 mi) al sur del Peloponeso y a unos 300 km (190 mi) al suroeste de Anatolia. Crete tiene una superficie de 8.450 km2 (3.260 mi2) y una costa de 1.046 km (650 mi). Crete delimita la frontera sur del mar Egeo, con el mar de Creta al norte y el mar de Libia al sur. Crete se extiende 260 km de oeste a este pero es estrecha de norte a sur, abarcando tres grados de longitud pero solo medio grado de latitud.

“O hound of Crete, think'st thou my spouse to get?”
