You’re in good company when you choose Crete holidays: the largest Greek resort island was the birthplace of mighty Zeus, king of the Greek gods. Families and couples have long enjoyed Crete holidays, which provide every opportunity for fun under the sun as well as a large dose of ancient history, fascinating mythology and simply stunning landscapes.
Whilst on package holidays to Crete, take the opportunity to visit some unique sights. Try the Minoan Palaces of Knossos and Phaestos for starters, then take a boat ride to Spinalonga to discover an amazing Venetian fortress. History not your thing? You’ll find plenty more besides to explore on Crete holidays. Feel your pulse race as you look down into the Samaria Gorge, find your inner calm looking out over Lasithi Plateau or investigate the island’s incredible underground caves. For a real buzz on Crete holidays, you can even take to the trails for a tour in a 4x4 all-terrain vehicle.
On Crete holidays, you can easily devote an entire week to soaking up the sun on the island’s many beautiful beaches. Make sure you squeeze in a visit to Elafonisi early on during Crete holidays: sand doesn’t get much more golden than this. Enjoy Crete’s sunshine and summer breezes as you snorkel or splash about with the kids in the warm, azure seas then chill out with refreshments bought from one of the welcoming beach bars.
