There’s quite a few travel companies who have offers for the island – but if you want
to have a good holiday in Crete with a reliable company, Thomson Holidays,
First Choice and Thomas Cook are all offering some good cheap deals at the moment.
Check all three and you will ensure you get the best value with a reliable tour operator.
Planning Your Ideal Visit
Crete holidays are ideal for couples, families and as a solo trip, and a little information
before embarking on your Crete holidays can go a long way to making a good trip a
great one.
A visit to the island needn’t be expensive as several airlines offer Crete flights from
regional airports in the UK direct, and if you’re looking for cheap Crete holidays it
certainly helps.
When deciding which village or town would be best a map is helpful, and several of
the tour operators like Thomas Cook Holidays have one online.
But a map is useful as well before your holidays in Crete to be able to tell how far the
beach is from your hotel or if you are on villa holidays if you need to hire a car so it’s
well worth checking out a Crete map before setting off.
One of the reasons why people visit is of course for the weather, and the climate is
good year round though most people visit Easter through to early October.
And it doesn’t matter how much you pay, whether it’s for a villa or cheap holidays
in Crete it’s going to be the same – everyone can enjoy the good Crete weather
Accommodation varies from campsites to hotels to villas and there’s really something
for everyone who is considering Crete holidays – one company for example to check
is James Villas who have availability in most of the popular coastal towns and villages.
Your own pool, privacy, your own schedule, options of hiring a car or not, plus normal
hotel facilities like satellite TV, all these are advantages of Crete villa holidays
Traditionally hotels have been the most popular type of accommodation, and over the last
couple of years all inclusive deals have become popular, going back almost to how it all
began for tour operators.
Several tour operators offer hotel based holidays in Crete, and companies like
Thomson and Thomas Cook do good deals for a range of Crete hotels
