Soak up sun, scenery and culture on the legendary isle of Crete with an enchanting beach holiday, including flights & transfers or car hire

Lapped by the azure waters of the Mediterranean, the island of Crete promises a magical escape from everyday life. Set up at your luxury hotel and soak in the splendour of this ancient paradise, where olive groves and mythic palaces sit alongside lively towns and dreamy, sun-drenched beaches.

With a choice of hotels and the option of car hire, your Cretan getaway can be whatever you want it to be. Hop along the coast, discovering ancient ruins, hidden beaches and bustling resort towns, or delve into the island’s rocky interior to explore picturesque mountain villages and breathtaking, rugged scenery. Of course, you’re also free to stick to your sunlounger and spend your time simply sipping ice-cold drinks while you bask in the golden sunshine - it’s all up to you! Whatever your idea of island bliss is, Crete is ready to answer the call.

Included
  • 4 to 14 or 21 nights in Crete

  • Half-board or all-inclusive basis (dependent on selected hotel)

  • Shared or private airport transfers or car hire

  • Return flight from your selected departure airport to Heraklion or Chania (whichever is closest to your selected hotel)

Captivating Crete

Crete, the largest of the Greek islands, boasts rugged mountains, ancient Minoan ruins, and breathtaking beaches scattered along the rugged coast. Explore the ancient palace of Knossos, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and delve into the fascinating history of the Minoan civilization and the legend of the minotaur. For those who like to get active, you can hike through the Samaria Gorge, one of Europe's longest gorges, whilst sun worshippers can explore the stunning beaches of Elafonisi and Balos. For a taste of cultre, discover the vibrant cities of Heraklion and Chania, with their historic Old Towns, museums, and lively markets, or simply take a seat at a waterfront restaurant to indulge in delicious Cretan cuisine and a glass of ouzo.
