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.
