Crete - Aerial Beach View - Travel Print
Captured from directly above, this print shows a Cretan shoreline where turquoise shallows meet deep sapphire sea, broken by weathered limestone rock formations. Pale golden sand curves along the coast, dotted with rows of umbrellas and sunbathers casting long shadows across the beach.
A striking piece for lovers of coastal geometry, sun-drenched shores and the Mediterranean's endless shades of blue.

Destination write-up
Here’s the write-up that features on your print.
Crete rises from the Aegean and the Libyan Sea alike, a sunbaked island where myth and mountain meet. Largest of the Greek islands, it holds the memory of the Minoans within its hills and offers something wilder than the postcard version of Greece. Here, every gorge and ruin seems to hum with story.
Wander the palace of Knossos, where the legend of the Minotaur lingers among restored frescoes and ancient stone. Hike the Samaria Gorge, its limestone walls towering above a path that winds down to the Libyan Sea. Stand in the harbour at Chania, where Venetian lighthouses and Ottoman minarets share the same waterfront, or climb toward the Lefka Ori, the White Mountains that hold snow long into spring.
Beyond its ruins, Crete lives through its table and its seasons. Olive groves and vineyards blanket the interior, feeding tavernas where raki is poured freely and dakos and lamb are shared without ceremony. Come autumn, the hillsides turn gold with harvest, and the island exhales.
Print size & quality
Every piece is printed on thick, 175gsm fine-art matte paper with archival inks — so the colours stay rich, deep and true for years, with no fading and no fuss. Before it heads your way, it's wrapped in soft tissue to keep it scratch-free and sent out in a sturdy kraft tube or a robust triangular kraft box (never plastic).
Available sizes
Framing options
Fancy it ready to hang? Add a solid pine frame — sturdy, handsome and built to last. Take your pick from black, natural wood, or white. Each one is 20–25mm deep and 10–14mm wide: the sweet spot between strength and understated good looks.
We finish every frame with shatterproof, crystal-clear plexiglass to keep your print pristine — and it arrives already framed, so it goes straight from the box to your wall with no faff.
Framing is available for these sizes: A4, A3, A2, A1, 8x10, 11x14, 12x16, 12x18, 16x20, 18x24, 20x28, 24x32, 24x36 and 28x40.
