Holidays to Lyttos Beach deliver on all the essentials for an island getaway, such as good food, sandy beaches and relaxation.

Quiet life

Stretching out on the north coast of Crete – Greece's largest island – Lyttos Beach is perfect for taking it easy. Unlike its more frequented Heraklion neighbours, locals and tourists here treasure traditional charm and natural beauty over nightclubs and boutique shops. Grab a sunlounger and a good book, and relax.

The perfect playdate

When you're ready to swap your peace and quiet for a piece of the action, drive 10 minutes over to Hersonissos. Modern Crete at its finest, you'll find everything from lively 'ouzeries' – traditional bars – to noisy nightclubs here, and the beach scene isn't much tamer.

Coastal meze

Crete's not shy in showing off its pretty shores. Lyttos itself has a long sweep of sand, complete with rows of parasols. For more of a tucked-away feel, take an hour's drive south-east to the coves of Mirabello Bay – turquoise-surf beauties like Voulisma Beach make it worth the trip.
