Flights to Crete

Flights to Crete take you to the largest of the Greek Islands. Thanks to its size, this place has got room to squeeze in loads to keep both children and adults happy. Sprinkled around its pine-filled gorges and rugged mountains are plenty of classical Minoan sites that hint at the island’s 4,000-year-old past. Highlights include the legendary Palace of Knossos and the ruins of the city of Phaestos near Kamilari. The Minoan tomb here dates back to 1900 BC. But it’s not just a dose of mythology that you’ll get with a holiday to Crete. Dusting the edges of the island are swathes of sand lapped by the turquoise waters of the Med. Aghios Nikolaos is great for watersports, and the sandy stretch at Sun Beach is as balmy as the name suggests. If you travel with us, you can book to stay in four main destinations.
