    Destinations in Crete

    Top Destinations

    • Chania Area

      Holidays to the Chania area serve up ancient sites, glitzy harbours and blue flag beaches in equal measure – it's one of Crete's top holiday spots.

    • Heraklion Area

      Heraklion holidays have it all. We're talking bevies of beaches and a selection box of historical big-hitters, as well as some famous after-sundown spots.

    • Lassithi Area

      Ancient ruins, chic cities, and a whole lot of caves – it's no wonder holidays to the Lassithi area pull in the punters. And that's before you even start on the first-rate beaches…

    • Rethymnon Area

      Offering up some of Crete's best beaches, plenty of cosy tavernas, and a heap of ancient sights, a holiday to Rethymnon is the real Greek deal.
