Wellcome and enjoy your vacations

Crete is a part of Greece which in term is a part of EU. Same goes for all the GREEK islands. You only need a valid passport only when entering Greece. You can move around Greece without ever being required to show your passport. So your expiry date on the passport is not an issue.

This can only cause you problems if you get out of Greece after the passport expires.

Crete is part of Greece, and Greece is a part of the Eu.
All of the Greek island on the Aegean Sea belong to Greece and the Eu.

Crete is in greece greece is part of eu so yes

ELEOS!

As mentioned above yes Crete is a part of Greece ans so it's part of the EU, as for traveling there with only 5 months left on your passport. Well that can be another issue. This what I've found and the below links should be helpful to you.

BTW Learn a few Greek words before you go, it's nice to see people's reaction when you do. Like (Phonetically spelled) Efhareesto (Thank You) and Kalimera (Good Morning) Many Greeks in touristy spots speak English so you'll have no problem getting around.

Yes, although Crete is not an independence country, it is part of Greece, as Greece is part of EU, Crete is consider to be part of EU.

HAWAI AND ALASKA ARE PARTS OF USA ALTHOUGH GEOGRAPHICAL ARE NOT ATTACHED TO US .

SO IS CRETE ITS PART OF GREECE AND THE BIGGEST ISLAND IN THE SOUTHEST PART OF GREECE, NO NEED OF PASSPORT WITH IN THE COUNTRY.

CRETE HAS 4 STATES, CHANIA , HRAKLEIO , RETHIMNO, LASITHI.
EACH STATE HAS MANY NICE DESTINATIONS AND INCRETIBLE BEACHES.

SO YES ITS PART OF EU.

Yes, Crete is part of Greece, which is part of the E.U.

Go the Chania - it's lovely there, also the Samaria Gorge is worthwhile going to.

Happy travelling

Samantha.

Crete is an island of Greece, so yes Crete is part of the EU

all the other islands of Greece are part of the EU too. (Rhodos (visit the remainings of Kolosos here, one of the Big Wonders), Lesbos etc etc)

Greek to English is listed !
Have a nice time in Greece/ on Crete (do not forget to eat the "pita gyros" any where on any street there. very nice!

Yes. Crete, as part of Greece, is a part of the European Union. The same applies for all Greek islands or any other part of Greek territory. If there is an exception, that could be Mount Athos -or Holy Mount- to the extent that, as a Monastically administered territory, Mount Athos enjoys a special status both within Greece and the EU, consequently. As testament to that special status can be the fact that because of the exclusively male monastic nature of Mt Athos, women are barred from either living or even entering/visiting this territory.

it's really a pity that someone asks if crete is a part of the eu... anyway... you need to have a passport valid at least half a year
