    Top Destinations

    • Rethymnon

      Rethymnon holidays are like an ice-cream cone with a double scoop of flavours. One minute you'll get the tang of a beach holiday, and the next you'll taste some of Crete's top historic sites.

    • Panormo

      Panormo holidays have the family-friendly formula sussed. It's nice and quiet, and stocked with a toddler-approved beach.

    • Sfakaki

      Holidays to Sfakaki have got sandy beaches and classic Cretan countryside, plus a sprinkling a local friendliness.

    • Platanes

      Holidays to Platanes are all about kicking back on a golden Greek island beach – and maybe spotting a sea turtle or two.
