Crete Villa Holidays

  • Overview
  • Facts

Enjoy a Villa Holiday in Crete

Crete boasts a fascinating history and is home to many idyllic beaches, vibrant seaside towns and treasures that you will probably need a lifetime to uncover! What’s more, we have a large choice of villas to rent in Crete so you can find your dream getaway. Discover what makes Crete such an amazing place…

Things to do in Crete

It’s easy to see why Crete villa holidays have long been a family-favourite. Wonderful sandy beaches lapped with shallow waves make for an ideal holiday hotspot, and the island’s inner scenery is no less impressive with stunning mountain villages brimming with history.

Beaches in Crete

Many of our villas to rent in Crete are located in the picturesque Chania region where beaches will be high on your radar. Many beaches here hold the prestigious Blue-Flag status for their cleanliness and safety. Be sure to visit the renowned Elafonissi Beach which is home to pink sand! The choice of beaches in Crete is endless, with a combination of larger beaches with tavernas and facilities, and quieter, hidden gems off the beaten track.

Nightlife in Crete

Crete is very much a family-orientated holiday destination and as such you won’t expect to find too many late-night clubs on offer. A laid-back vibe can be enjoyed in most resorts, with a cold beverage in hand enjoying the sunset. If you want something a little more upbeat, head to Chania or Heraklion.

Food and Drink in Crete

There’s no shortage of authenticity when it comes to dining in Crete. Traditional Greek food including meze platters, souvlaki and gyros can be enjoyed at many restaurants throughout the island. Head to Rethymnon market on a Thursday to stock up on fresh vegetables, cheese and locally produced honey.

History and Culture in Crete

In its early days Crete was home to the Minoans, a Bronze Age Civilisation whose footprint still flourishes on the island to this day. You’ll also come across a blend of Roman, Turkish and Venetian influences throughout Crete’s towns and villages with old fortresses and pretty, cobbled streets waiting to be explored straight from the doorsteps of our villas in Crete.
