Crete is an island of myth and legend where white sandy beaches bask in the long summer of the southern Aegean. Probably the most famous of the Greek islands, Crete is an intriguing mix of lively beachfront resorts, historic Venetian ports, majestic mountains with deep gorges and vast areas of untouched countryside. Home to the legendary birthplace of the Greek God Zeus and the Palace of Knossos where Theseus slew the Minotaur, Crete is also modern tourist destination where vibrant cities have colourful shopping, a lively nightlife and simple fresh food.

Our villas in Crete are either close to the quiet coves and white sandy beaches of the coast, or in pretty mountain villages where you can soak up the charm and culture of traditional Greek life.
