Cheap holidays Crete Periphery

With non-stop sunshine, clear blue skies and spectacular natural beauty, Crete is a fantastic destination for a cheap holiday. The largest and most southerly of the Greek islands, and one of the sunniest destinations in the eastern Mediterranean, Crete has a huge choice of lively beach resorts, ancient towns and magnificent beaches that offer great value for money.

There’s a wide selection of beaches to choose from. The largest and best beach, located to the west, is simply called Sandy Beach, while Pebble Beach, to the east, is a picturesque spot with an attractive harbour and a busy promenade lined with restaurants. In addition, the reliably gusty winds make it an excellent spot for windsurf enthusiasts,

There’s also a great range of restaurants and eateries. Grab a bite while enjoying the sites in Rethymnon from La Creperie. Located beside the Rimondi fountain, this restaurant offers good-quality sweet and savoury pancakes and cheap prices. The meat dishes in restaurants plentiful, and, though reasonably priced, can satisfy even the most pretentious of tastes.

With some great shopping, Crete is a great place to souvenirs. In particular, the gold and silver jewellery shops offer an extensive range of designs that are good value and quality.
