Crete, Greece Holidays
Crete is Greece’s largest island and a destination full of contrasts – where rugged mountains meet sparkling seas, and ancient ruins sit alongside modern beach resorts. With golden beaches, charming towns, and a warm Mediterranean welcome, Crete is a fantastic choice for a family holiday. Young children can splash in shallow bays, teens can enjoy water sports and boat trips, while adults can soak up the island’s rich history, local cuisine, and stunning landscapes.
Crete enjoys long, sunny summers – with July and August bringing around twelve hours of sunshine a day and temperatures reaching up to 30°C. Even in the shoulder months of May and October, the island stays wonderfully warm, with highs of around 24°C and plenty of sunshine to enjoy outdoor adventures and lazy beach days.
Cretan food is another highlight – wholesome, flavourful and steeped in tradition. Think fresh seafood, grilled meats, local cheeses, honey-drizzled desserts, and olive oil from groves just minutes away. Whether you choose a seafront taverna, a cosy village eatery or a chic restaurant, you’ll find something to suit all ages and tastes, with plenty of outdoor dining options to enjoy the warm evenings.
Adventure awaits across the island – from hiking through the dramatic Samaria Gorge to snorkelling in hidden bays or exploring Minoan palaces like Knossos. Crete also offers fantastic water parks, boat tours, and scenic drives through mountain villages and olive groves.
Whether you're staying in the vibrant town of Chania, the historic charm of Rethymno, or the resort comforts of Elounda and Hersonissos, Crete offers a mix of relaxing beach life, cultural experiences and exciting excursions. With friendly locals, stunning scenery and a laid-back pace of life, Crete is a perfect all-round destination.
