Crete highlights

Chania Old Town and Harbour

Along with its Venetian Harbour and colourful market, the winding alleyways of Chania let you wander through architectural history.

Phaestos

Phaestos was a major centre of the Minoan Civilisation and is where the famous Phaestos Disc was discovered.

Elafonnisi Beach

Endless beaches with unique pink sand, and out in the crystal-clear waters is the islet of Elafonissi.

Samaria Gorge

Extending from the village of Omalos right down to the Mediterranean, this gorge is renowned for wildlife and hiking.

Preveli Beach

A breathtaking sight, at Preveli Beach you can experience natural spa pools.

Falassarna Beach

Falassarna's kilometre of fine sand and turquoise waters is just waiting to be enjoyed.

Spinalonga Island

The Venetian fortress of Spinalonga Island was used as a leper colony during the first half of the 20th century.

Arkadi Monastery

The 16th century Arkadi Monastery is a stunning piece of Renaissance architecture and symbol of resistance against the Ottomans.

Rethymno Venetian Harbour and Fortress

Walking around the narrow streets, from the Venetian Harbour to the well-preserved Fortezza Castle, definitely makes Rethymno worth a visit.

Knossos Palace

Knossos was the ancient centre of the Minoan Civilisation. Come and visit its colourful frescoes and maze of buildings.

FAQs about hotels on Crete

Centuries of History, Days of Sunshine

The largest Greek island, mountainous Crete has stunning beaches, plenty of history and as much or little nightlife as you want. Party town Malia has many bars, clubs and restaurants on its Strip.

Along the coast is the capital Heraklion, a bustling city home to many Crete hotels on the beach, and a Venetian castle guarding its port. Its archaeological museum includes finds from the island’s Minoan era, while just inland are the Roman remains of Knossos.

Also boasting a Venetian castle is Rethymnon, a popular resort with a good number of Crete hotels with private pools on Booking.com. Loggerhead turtles nest in season on the sandy beaches here and at Chania, an important port with an attractive waterfront set against the backdrop of mountains.

On the other side of the island is Aghios Nikolaos, a small fishing town with a picturesque harbour. Just north is Elounda, a popular family resort, and offshore is Spinaloga island, inspiration behind the book ‘The Island’. Matala in the south has a bohemian vibe and intriguing cliff dwellings, while Paleokastro in the east borders Europe’s largest palm forest at Vai.

We could go on and on about magnificent Crete beaches, but whichever resort you choose, you can be almost guaranteed fantastic food and a good helping of sunshine.

This property exceeded expectations. To be connected to the beach was just fabulous and so glad we booked JUST outside of Heraklion which I found to be quite underwhelming to say the least. Here you had the tranquility of being seaside. The staff are exceptional - Katerina on the front desk was so helpful as was Nikos their Porter. Katerina in the restaurant was also warm and engaging. We had low expectations for the all inclusive breakfast and dinner but there was so much variety and dinner was excellent. Yes it gets busy but there always seemed to be a table ready to go and waiting was minimal. After dinner our particular stay they had a violin player at the beach bar who had backing music to such artists as Adele, Bryan Adams etc and you could take your drink go lay on the beach beds under the stars and listen to the music as the waves crashed against the shore: it was one of the loveliest nights of my trip. She was excellent and added such beauty to modern music. The pools are fab and there are cute things such as darts, table tennis and I believe yoga classes. Loved it being adults only also - pure bliss ! I would definitely re book

We were on All Inclusive, so we didn’t need anything else regarding food and drinks. We had 2 rooms, one of them with a private pool and it was really beautiful. Rooms are very spacious and with all the necessities required. Both rooms were equipped with a small kitchenette a living room which we had a sofa bed in, separate bedroom and a bathroom . Shower was very spacious and comfortable. The room with the private pool was also with snacks, wine, beer, soft drinks etc. The private beach and the beach is really nice.

A wonderful hotel! Although Google Maps showed it as a two-star hotel, it definitely deserves at least four. The apartments are newly furnished with a beautiful design. Breakfast could perhaps have a bit more variety, but everything was tasty. The beach is excellent, with comfortable sunbeds, and the bar is open from early morning until late at night — something the neighboring hotel didn’t have. Small details like these truly create a very good overall impression. Many thanks to the hostess for her care. It’s a pity we couldn’t extend our stay. Thank you! Sincerely, Vytautas and Vilija

We were sadly only here for a quick overnight stay. But during our week in Crete - where we travelled to Chania, Heraklion, and Rethymno - Rethymno was by some margin my favourite destination. Where Chania's historic centre felt as if it had been totally given over to tourism, Rethymno felt more like a substantial town with plenty to explore.

Difficult to judge because we came early in the season when there was a cold wind blowing and not all the places were open. However, there didn't seem to be many places to eat [not a problem for us as there was one excellent place, though would be a problem peak season] . There were a number of apparently abandoned and ill-maintained buildings, which made the place appear less attractive.

For those who want a quiet get-away and yet close shopping, Kissamos is hard to beat. Close to the port for Balos-Gramvousa excursions and secluded for a wonderful relaxed time with your loved one. Gramvousa Restaurant is a must, a short drive to a memorable dining experience. Loved snorkeling and fish sightings around rocky areas. Pictures cannot capture the panoramic breath-taking setting.
