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.
