    Top Destinations

    • Chania Area

      Holidays to the Chania area of Crete aren’t just about the beach – scenic hikes and a historic town complete the picture.

    • Heraklion Area

      Fly direct from Dublin to Crete and head for the island's north coast. Holidays to the Heraklion area show off the best of the Greek Islands' Minoan and Venetian history. Add in laidback Greek beaches and the nightlife hotspot of Heraklion itself, and you've got everything you need for a fun-filled holiday in Crete.

    • Rethymnon Area

      Rich Minoan history, Caribbean-style beaches, and world-famous wines await you on Crete's sunny north coast. Holidays to the Rethymnon area of Greece's largest island blend cobbled old towns with soft sands, and views for miles over the Sea of Crete. Fly direct from Dublin Airport for a simple, stress-free getaway.
