 Agia Galini Beach
posted by npritchard The south coast of Crete is somewhat forgetten about and so it's the perfect place if you want a peaceful, relaxed and cheaper holiday. This beach was our favourite with its picturesque cliffs and lovely still bay just great for the kids. Heraklion
posted by mwhittier The capital is a lively and buzzing place to be, well worth considering for a holiday in Crete. You have the choice of wonderful day trips as well as great beaches and a chic and exciting nightlife as well! Fragokastello Castle
posted by wcribbs Lovely fort and the area it's set is exceptionally beautiful. We went for a day-long hike around the area and ended with a barbecue on the beach! Holiday heaven. Minoan Palace of Knossos
posted by rroby Fantastic! Such a crazy place, it's hard to imagine that this was one of the centres of world domination, although you can certainly tell it's large enough! Definitely a must-see. Samaria Gorge
posted by rlinton We saw a goat! We saw a goat! Last year we didn't see a goat but this year we did! The Kri Kri goats are pretty cute, and it's really nice in the gorge to have a walk and see the other side of the island. |
dealchecker's guide to Crete
Crete is the biggest of the Greek Islands and has one of the richest histories. Home to the fabled Minoans, the island has a history dating back 4000 years and boasts the impressive ruins of the Palace of Knossos, site of the legendary Minotaur and a myriad of ancient ruins of a people said to have sowed the seeds of Western civilisation. However once you've secured your Crete hotel there is more than ancient history to keep you occupied. The island boasts long stretches of sandy beaches that shelve gently in quiet azure waters, whilst inland is dotted with whitewashed farms and villages tucked around rugged pine covered mountains. It really is a wonderful place to go exploring and there is no better way than to hire a car and get out and about under your own steam. Anywhere you go will turn up an excellent taverna or relaxed pavement cafe with an abundance of local dishes. But if you can't live without your home cooking then all the major resorts have British bars serving your favourite food from home. If you like to book your travel and accommodation together as a package then take a look at our Crete holidays which will take any hassle out of booking your trip and save you some money too. When to go The price of flights follows the same pattern but you can still find god deals throughout the year by using dealchecker to search for you and find you some really cheap Crete flights. Where to go Where to stay
Crete enjoys a warm summer, pleasant spring and autumn and has fairly mild winters. The peak summer months of June, July and August are very busy, and hotels can be expensive. If you can be flexible with your dates the best times to find the best Crete hotel deals are probably spring and autumn after the mad rush of high season. If price is your main concern then the best time to go is definitely winter when you will find it easiest to snap up cheap hotels in Crete but it may get a little chilly on the beach!
Before you book your cheap hotel in Crete you’ll need to work out which of the resorts is best suited to the type of holiday you plan. If you're up for a lively holiday then head for the resorts near Malia Beach, which is packed with funky bars and has a great night life. Families should head for the resorts near Rethymnon Beach and Sun Beach where you'll find a great Crete hotel deal with everything you need for a relaxing family holiday. To escape the big resorts head around the rugged coastline where you'll find little beaches tucked away from the world.
Luxury resorts abound and 5-star hotels in Crete include Aldemar Knossus royal Village and the Blue Palace Resort and Spa. Lots of Crete hotels cater to the mid range market and the Casa Leone often gets good reviews. The budget end of the scale is well seen to by establishments like the Lefka apartments and the Renieris Hotel.
