    Destinations in Crete

    Top Destinations

    • Chania Area

      Holidays to the Chania area of Greece revolve around the beach, but there's a gorge to hike and ruins to explore when you want a break from the sand.

    • Heraklion Area

      Holidays to the Heraklion area of Crete have something to offer around the clock, starting with early morning sunbathing stints on the beach and ending in dusk-til-dawn clubbing.

    • Lassithi Area

      Golden beaches, cosmopolitan harbour towns and myth-spiked historical sites are yours for the taking on a holiday to the Lassithi area of Crete.

    • Rethymnon Area

      Beach time tops the priority list during holidays to the Rethymnon area, but if you're willing to leave your sunlounger, you'll be rewarded by the region's history and locally-made wine.
