    Top Destinations

    • Amoudara

      Holidays to Amoudara are based around family beachfront activities like swimming and building sandcastles. Watersports are also popular and there's plenty of evening entertainment in the bars, nightclubs, and traditional Greek tavernas.

    • Analipsi

      Holidays to Analipsi offer traditional Cretan hospitality in a relaxed environment. Set on a busy coastline, this old-fashioned village stays true to its roots with laidback Greek tavernas and a quiet beach.

    • Koutouloufari

      Holidays to Koutouloufari offer a break in a traditional Greek village with a peaceful atmosphere. However, the lively resort of Hersonissos is just a 10-minute drive away, where you can visit theme parks and party along the Bay of Malia.

    • Lyttos Beach

      Holidays to Lyttos Beach are all about the sea, with a long stretch of sand and a couple of resort hotels. There are good bars and restaurants close by, plus the lively centre of Hersonissos is just a 25-minute drive away. Here, you can check out the museums.

    • Gournes

      See the northern coast of Crete with holidays to Gournes. This fairly new resort combines rugged countryside with ancient history and quiet beaches. There's easy access to classic Cretan nightlife in Heraklion, which is just 25 minutes away by car.
