Crete holidays
Crete is an island of myth, mountains and wonderfully varied coastline. Ancient palaces and sacred ruins sit beside lively harbour towns, deep gorges and beautiful beaches. Romantic coastal stays, family adventures and journeys through ancient civilisation all feel at home on Greece’s largest island.
Chania brings Venetian harbour views, colourful old streets and lively local markets together on Crete’s north-west coast. Waterfront restaurants make an easy pause between the lanes, while small shops and historic buildings reward an unhurried wander. The old town feels especially atmospheric as the harbour lights begin to glow.
