Crete Holiday Planning

If you haven’t visited the popular holidays island before, there’s a wide choice of places to visit to keep all the family entertained, and tour operators and hotels offer organised trips. For some reviews of the Crete hotels see our hotels section.

The climate is good enough often to visit from February onwards, but the Crete holidays season really begins from around Easter when the weather is good. But whatever the weather there’s always plenty to do and sights to see. And it’s rare to look at a weather forecast to find a whole seven days looking dismal. You can check out the Crete weather here on our travel resource.

There’s a good number of airlines offering cheap flights from the UK, from London, Birmingham, Glasgow and regional airports.

Hotels are plentiful and there’s a whole range of accommodation available, from guesthouses and hostels, 1 star hotels through to the best 5 star Crete hotels available for holidaymakers to choose from.

A popular alternative to hotels is what the villa holiday companies have to offer comes from companies like James Villas for example who do some great deals, and while many people consider villa holidays are expensive they can often work out around the same price as seven nights in hotels.

Cheap flights, travel insurance and car hire can all be included in villa holidays in Crete, or they can be booked seperately, and the villas are all around the island when you look at a Crete map

Whatever accommodation you choose, there’s plenty of flights available to visit and lots of hotels and villas on the island, and they all add up to great Crete holidays with weather to match, and it can all work out surprisingly cheap when planned in good time.

We hope you have a great your time on the island, and for many this won’t be their first trip as they like it so much, but if it is your first, going by the number of tourists who visit frequently it might well not be the last time you plan your holidays in Crete.
