'''Krete''' (kwa [[Kigiriki]] Κρήτη, ''Kríti'', matamshi ya kale, ''Krḗtē'') ni [[kisiwa]] kikuu na chenye watu wengi zaidi cha [[Ugiriki]], na ni cha tano katika [[Bahari ya Kati]], baada ya [[Sicily]], [[Sardinia]], [[Cyprus]] na [[Corsica]]. 

Pamoja na visiwa vya jirani vya [[bahari ya Aegean]] kinaunda [[mkoa wa Krete]] (Περιφέρεια Κρήτης), mmoja kati ya 13 ya nchi nzima. [[Mwaka]] [[2011]], mkoa huo ulikuwa na wakazi 623,065.

[[Mji mkuu]] na [[mji]] mkubwa ni [[Heraklion]]. 

Krete ni sehemu muhimu ya [[ustaarabu]] na [[uchumi]] wa Ugiriki ukidumisha upekee wake katika [[utamaduni]] (kwa mfano upande wa [[ushairi]] na [[muziki]]). 

==Historia==
Zamani ([[2700 KK|2700]]–[[1420 KK]] hivi) Krete ilikuwa kiini cha [[ustaarabu wa Minoa]], wa kwanza kustawi huko [[Ulaya]].<ref name="Ancient Crete">[http://oxfordbibliographiesonline.com/display/id/obo-9780195389661-0071 Ancient Crete] {{Wayback|url=http://oxfordbibliographiesonline.com/display/id/obo-9780195389661-0071 |date=20200530225110 }} Oxford Bibliographies Online: Classics</ref>

Inatajwa na [[Biblia]]<ref>[[Mdo.]] 27,13</ref> pamoja na tabia za wakazi wake. 

Katika [[miaka ya 60]] [[Mtume Paulo]] alimuacha huko [[askofu]] [[Tito]] ili aweke [[wakfu]] [[padri|mapadri]] katika kila mji. Halafu alimuandikia [[Waraka kwa Tito|barua maarufu]].
