Holidays Crete

Holidays to Crete land you in one of the hottest Greece destinations – and we're not just talking about the weather. Crete is one of the largest islands and arguably the most popular holiday resort in Greece. Formerly a fishing village, the resort of Aghios Nikolaos has become one of the more popular resorts on the island of Crete. This busy town boasts a range of tourist amenities, though it has retained a great deal of local charm.

Situated just 12km north of Aghios Nikolaos, Elounda is one of Crete's hidden gems, nestled in its own secluded bay area at the edge of the beautiful, clear turquoise waters of this part of the Mediterranean.

A busy and cosmopolitan resort, Hersonissos is a particular favourite with young people and couples. With one promenade dotted with shops, open-air restaurants, bars, discos and other attractions along the length of the resort.

The thing that makes holidays in Crete so unique is the fact that it holds some of the most amazing ancient sights in the world, yet it has constantly moved forward with the times, so that modern travellers can also enjoy the beauty and entertainment of the modern age.
