To start with I posted that I was going to Spain, but the group have decided they want to go to Crete. But now all of a sudden the parents are now debating whether I can go. Anyone been to Crete can you tell me whether the town is rough not suitable for a group of 17 year old lads. Many Thanks

You'll get more accurate information about your proposed destination if you tell us exactly where it is that you're thinking of going. Crete isn't a town; it's an island which is 150 miles across. Different resorts have different atmospheres; some places are quiet, others can be rather rowdy. Which resort are you considering?

been to Crete many times, its not one of our favourite islands but the weather is usually good to the end of Oct. As Chris said its a big island with resorts for all tastes
i'll assume when u say ur 17 and going to crete u mean Malia, the 'place to go' for drinking in Crete. I went to Crete when i was 17 with my mum and dad and stayed in Hersonissos a few miles down the coast from Malia, however most nites I and some friends went to Malia drinking. My mum and dad never went to Malia but a few years later they went through Malia and sed if they had known wot it was like they wud never have let me go at that age! However im a girl! i know that shudnt matter but i suppose boys can handle themselves a bit better. Iv since returned to Malia, its still the same, very VERY lively in late July/August, streets are packed and so are the bars, they dont close til 5am some of them! From a parents point of view its your typical drinking destination for a lads holiday, however, i have never heard of any trouble or seen any fights attacks etc when i was there, so in that way it is good and there are always police trying to drive through the copious amounts of ppl in the streets!

All in all its a great place to go, but please DONT hire the quad bikes/scooters they are so dangerous and 2 people died just outside our hotel on them the week before we went to Crete! anyways, hope u have fun!

Oh however, im not sure but some travel companies wont let a group of 17 year olds travel on their own, ie. atleast one of u must be over 18! we had this problem wehen we booked with Thomson Freestyle!
Malia is THE main lager lout resort on Crete but unlike the UK its not really violent. there are deaths most years but usually its caused by falling from balconies
