We have been flying to Crete on summer holidays for many years. The nature is breathtaking. If you fly in spring, you can also go hiking without any problems as it is not yet so hot. This is not recommended in the summer months due to the high temperatures. The beaches are beautiful. There are many secluded beaches that are not so touristy. You can easily explore these independently with a hire car. The people are incredibly hospitable and helpful. Everyone is very relaxed. Prices have risen everywhere in the last two years, but are still absolutely acceptable. There is a lot of hustle and bustle and nightlife in the north of the island. Those who like it a little quieter should prefer the south.

Highligts

Super nice warm climate. Great for hiking in spring. Many different sights. Incredibly great beaches.

Hidden gems

It's best to visit the villages. You can get to know the culture even better away from tourism.

Everyone must have been to Crete!

I have been travelling to Crete with my wife for more than 6 years. We always take a hire car (recommended) to the south of the island. In the south you simply have more peace and quiet than in the north, where tourism is more prevalent. I can highly recommend the village of Matala. There is also an old cave there that you can visit and a beautiful little bay for swimming. There are numerous, super-affordable tavernas of all kinds in the old town. A trip to Arkadi Monastery is also worthwhile. An exciting island with a lot of history awaits you here

We have already travelled almost the entire island. It is highly recommended to hire a car so that you can explore the island on your own. It really offers everything from beautiful beaches and great little towns to hiking routes. The town of Agios Nikolaus is particularly worth a visit. The town with its beautiful lights is particularly beautiful in the evening. There are also many restaurants and bars from which you can really enjoy the view. The beaches are beautiful, but some of them are rocky. Our hotel landlord recommended Kokkinos Pirgos beach in the south. It is beautiful and not at all crowded, as it is not so well known among tourists. There are almost only locals here. The beach is sandy and there are many restaurants and bars, so you can spend the whole day there. Including a marvellous sunset in the evening.

Highligts

Great activities for young and old. Whether quad biking or hiking. There's something for everyone in the family. We have collected many memories.

Hidden gems

The beach in Kokkinos Pirgos. Mainly used by locals only.

Destination recommendation

Highly recommended, whether as a couple or as a family.

Our trip to Karros at the Mythos Palace Hotel on Crete took place in September. It was hot during the day and the sea is still very warm in September. However, it gets a bit chilly in the evening, so you need a jacket. It also gets very humid. The people are very friendly. I can highly recommend this hotel, everything is very clean. This hotel offers food and drink 24 hours a day, which I personally find too much. It is very quiet and right on the beach. Excursions are very expensive.

The beach is a very relaxing place to unwind

We flew to Crete from Erfurt. Checking out at the airport was quick and easy. The country and people are friendly. Our hotel, Lyttos Beach, is mega. 5-star AI with lots of things for children and families. Outside the hotel you can go shopping in Hersonisos. The harbour of Hersonisos is also worth a trip on the "Tschutschu" train. The round trip by train takes about 2 hours and costs about €10 per person.

Highligts

Crete is worth a trip. Beautiful beaches and nice people there.

Hidden gems

An insider tip is the Hotel Lyttos Beach. 5 stars and great service.

The country and its people are friendly and simply beautiful.

Sit back and relax with Crete villas

With limitless stretches of breathtaking mountains and cavernous ravines, all surrounded by one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world, Crete is a wonderful holiday destination for everyone, whether you're looking for an adventure or you just want to relax by the beach. The Mediterranean climate here makes the summers ideal for sunbathers, whilst the winters remain mild and sunny, with snow only reaching the tops of the mountains here.

Step back into ancient times and discover the history of Crete

Crete is an island embedded with history. Going as far back as the second millenium BC, there are plenty of archaeological sites well worth seeing during your stay in Crete apartments. There are several palaces from the Minoan period that you can visit during your holiday here such as Knossos, which was the capital of Minoan Crete (being home to the largest of the island's palaces), as well as the palaces of Malia and Zakros. Crete is also believed to be the setting of some of the most significant aspects of Greek mythology, such as being the birthplace of Zeus and the location of the Minotaur's maze. If you're particularly interested in Ancient Greek history, then why not book a ferry from Crete to Athens in mainland Greece for a day trip and discover even more about this country's rich past?

Picturesque fishing villages surround the island and provide a real life glimpse into Greece’s ancient past, you can talk with the local fishermen and craftsmen, and stop into pubs to hear the ancient lore and music that stems way back into time. Buy some freshly caught fish to fry up in your self catering holiday home for a truly memorable holiday meal experience. It would be amiss, not to mention the glorious harbors and port cities. The Chania region to the west of Crete exhibits several historic periods: Venetian, Ottoman and modern day Greek influence converge to create a beautiful architectural cornucopia beneath the towering White Mountains on the eastern horizon.

Soak up the natural beauty at Samaria Gorge National Park

During your stay in a villa in Crete, be sure to explore its natural landscape. To begin to fully grasp the natural splendour of the Minoan Island, a day trip to the Samaria Gorge National Park is in order. With extensive hiking trails offering stunning views at every turn, this park in Crete provides a wonderful environment for the adventurer within you. You may even catch the hint of a sea breeze wafting through the ravine, as the park is positioned towards the coast in the south-east region of the island.

Take a stroll along the beaches of Crete

With a coastline over 1000 kilometres long, your Crete villas are unlikely to be to far from the beach. The northern coast is particularly popular amongst tourists, with seaside resorts such as Gouves and Georgioupolis offering holidaymakers soft golden sand to lay on and clear blue waters to swim in. So if you're looking for something similar to the beaches of Corfu and Santorini, then these are the places to visit. Despite the decades of tourism pounding the island, and the development of major coastal resorts, there are still quite a number of idyllic, secluded beaches. If your holiday rental property is to the south of the island, Palaiochora is a beautiful beach worth making a trip to during your stay, as it provides you with an authentic experience of Greek island life rather than the usual hustle and bustle of tourist zones. Regardless of which beach on the island of Crete you go for in the end, there is sure to be an exciting and vibrant nightlife for you to experience after your day relaxing by the sea. If you'd rather avoid the tourist areas altogether, then one of the smaller Ionian Islands such as Paxos may be a better choice of holiday destination for you.

Cultural highlights in Crete

Just a few miles from the capital Heraklion, you will admire the Palace of Knossos, the most important archaeological site of your vacation resort. On some of the historic buildings you will admire well-preserved frescoes depicting sports competitions, animals and other motifs.

A tour of Heraklion's old town is also worthwhile. The Venetian loggia with large arcades in the Renaissance style is one of the architectural jewels. Also noteworthy is the church Agios Titos, decorated with crystal patterns and colorful windows.

After about 30min drive from Rethimno you will reach the impressive Arkadi Monastery. In the historic dining hall is now a museum, which tells about the Greek freedom fighters. Furthermore, the small monastery church with Renaissance facade is worth seeing.

Trips to the most beautiful beaches

The 662 miles long coast of Crete offers the best conditions for a multi-faceted beach vacation. The Elafonissi Beach in the west inspire with pink shimmering sand and gently sloping shore. In most seasons, the coastline is connected to the charming island of Elafonissi by a narrow headland. Families enjoy splashing in the warm waters of the lagoon on the beach.

If you feel like resting, take a boat to Chrissi Island, which is located south of Crete. Through a dense cedar forest with trees up to 300 years old, it goes from the ship's facility to the northern beach, where the well-known Golden Beach is located.

Water sports enthusiasts go into raptures on Falassarna Beach on the west coast. In the crystal clear water there is good visibility for snorkeling and diving. In addition, the conditions are perfect for windsurfing, kitesurfing and surfing. Stand-up paddling rounds off the multi-faceted water sports on offer.

Relaxed vacation for families in vacation home in Crete

The 3,300 feet long and up to 490 feet wide beach of Falassarna on the west coast of Crete presents itself like an oversized sandbox. Here the shore gets deeper only slowly and is therefore well suited for splashing. The three protected bays of Agii Apostoli beach are also predestined for family vacations.

.

The Watercity water park, just a few kilometers from Iraklio airport, delights with sensational slides such as the Turbo Cyclone or Multi Race, where several people race into the cool water at the same time.

Top sights in Crete

Beach of Elafonissi

The beach of Elafonissi is a popular bathing beach on the island of Crete, with fine sand and extensive dunes near the offshore marine nature park.

Aquaworld Aquarium & Reptile Rescue Center

The Aquaworld Aquarium & Reptile Rescue Center is a small natural history museum, petting zoo and sanctuary for stray reptiles all at once.

Balos Beach and Lagoon

The turquoise sea and the fine, soft coral sand of the lagoon are reminiscent of the Caribbean. Thanks to the sheltered location, perfect swimming conditions prevail here, which is why the beach is also recommended for children.

Archeological Museum of Heraklion

.

The Archaeological Museum offers a variety of well-preserved finds in 20 halls, such as from Knossos, Agia Triada and other excavation sites on the island of Crete.

Old Town of Rethymnon

The narrow, winding streets of Rethymnon are now home to numerous restaurants and souvenir stores. Well-preserved historic buildings include the Great Gate, the Porta Guora, the Neratzes Mosque and the Rimondi Fountain dating from 1629 with its four conical columns.
