Crete villa holiday guide

Crete is the largest of the Greek islands, and it really ticks all the boxes when it comes to a villa holiday. Its people have a reputation for being tough and proud, yet they are are famous for their hospitality and their loyalty to family and friends, so expect a warm welcome the moment you step off the plane. The islands southernmost location means that it’s also the warmest, so a villa with a pool is essential for cooling off in the glorious Greek sunshine. Crete holidays take you to bucket-list beaches like Vai or Elafonissi that are a match for any in Europe, and some of the most photogenic scenery in the Mediterranean.  

Average Weather in Weather Chart

As the warmest of the Greek islands, a villa holiday in Crete can be enjoyed as early as March for an Easter break, filled with spring flowers. Peak season begins in July when you can expect warm sea water for swimming; the perfect time of year for a beach villa holiday. Shoulder season is also a great time to visit if you’re not tied to travelling in the school holidays. Speak to a villa specialist for further information; we can also book your flights.

Fiona Wilkins Destination Expert

Crete is such a diverse island, from the stunning Venetian harbour in Chania to the beautiful, rugged and charming villages on the East. The beaches are stunning with warm, clear blue waters, and the views of the huge mountains from every corner of the island are heavenly. There is so much history to be seen, such as Knossos (the home of the mythical creature, the Minotaur) and the island of Spinalonga. Spend a day visiting hidden beaches on a private Trehantiri (traditional Greek boat), and let's not forget the amazing cuisine!
