Crete Holidays
Holidays to Crete centre around soft sandy beaches, inland mountains and valleys, and a whole host of myths and legends.
Biggest in Greece
Crete is proud to be the largest of the Greek Islands. In fact, it also wins 5th place among all the Mediterranean islands. It'll take more than one trip to see everything Crete has to offer.
1000 kilometres of coast
Crete’s large size means it boasts over 1000 kilometres of coastline. Consequently, you’ll find a range of different beaches on various parts of the island. In the east, for example, is the Lassithi area, where you can visit the multicultural towns of Elounda and Agios Nikolaos. If you like to combine your sunbathing days with leisurely lunches and shopping, these towns should definitely be on your list. Further west, on the other hand, you’ll find the Chania area. Here, you can visit the historical town and soak up the sun on Blue Flag beaches.
Rich history
Crete is known as being a source of modern civilisation, and the evidence for this dates back over 4,000 years. For proof, head to the Palace of Knossos, found in the island’s Heraklion area. The Minoans who lived in Crete are said to have been some of the first communities in the world to have modern phenomena such as parties and fashions.
Mountains and valleys
Crete is famous for its beaches, but it also has a huge sprawl of untouched countryside. Around an hour’s drive from Chania is the 16-kilometre long Samaria Gorge. This is a great place to experience the heart of Crete’s unspoilt scenery. The gorge is the longest in Europe.
