I know - not tiki, but ancient, precontact culture.
However, the beaches look terrible, rocky and devoid of palm trees.

Am I completely wrong?
Anyone been?

Errr... doesn't pre-contact refer to Americas pre-Columbus?

Crete is home to the oldest civilisation in Europe - Minoan - fascinating. Wild mountains in the interior, rocky beaches with seas a hundred shades of blue and millions of olive trees but I can't remember any swaying palms and talcum powder sandy shores...

But definitely take the Cheekies' advice and do your homework on the beaches to avoid the crowded ones.
