Plan an Adventurous Trip to Crete

Crete has it all: stunning beaches, charming coastal villages, delicious cuisine, and a rich history that traces back to the Bronze Age.

Holidays in Crete are nothing short of extraordinary. As the largest Greek island, it has a lot to offer globetrotters. You can start your day on a beach or prepare to trek across dramatic mountains and gorges to explore hidden caves. Later, you can dedicate your evenings to watching the sunset, tucking in a hearty meal at one of the taverns, or strolling around the city.

A trip to Crete will remain unfinished if you don’t visit its ancient sites. Every avid traveller knows about the fascinating history of Knossos. Book a guided tour of the statuesque Minoan Palace to marvel at the ancient artefacts and restored artwork.

If you’re here for the beach, then the crystalline waters and pink shore of Elafonissi Beach are calling your name. You can wade in the shallow area or go snorkelling and swimming in the deep blue sea to explore the underwater world. The whole experience is surreal!

Things to Do and See

• Go sunbathing and swimming at the surreal Elafonissi beach
• Enjoy a leisurely stay in the coastal town of Agios Nikolaos
• Visit Knossos, the oldest settlement in Europe and a palace that dates back to the Bronze Age
• Book a boat ride to explore the abandoned fortress at the mysterious Spinalonga Island
• Wander around the charming coastal city of Chania to shop and dine
• Take a road trip from Chania to Sitia to discover the awe-inspiring terrains of Crete
• Hike or trek across the dramatic trails of Samaria Gorge

Travellers interested in finding a relaxing retreat can stay at one of the quintessential seaside towns and villages. The peaceful lull of a quiet lifestyle, friendly locals, and authentic cuisine allows you to take a break from your everyday life.

The best part of holidays in Crete is that you can easily beach-hop from one spot to another on a boat. Elafonisi Beach, Hora Sfakion, Paleochora, and many other beautiful beaches stretch across the southwestern coastline. If you need a change of scenery, you can book a boat trip to the haunting fortress at Spinalonga Island.
