Crete Villa Holidays

From the impressive archaeological site of Knossos to Blue Flag beaches that make Greece’s largest island a must for lovers of sun, sea and sand, Crete is a hugely diverse destination – and our Crete villa holidays have been carefully chosen to ensure that the best highlights are all within easy reach.

Crete is a hundred holidays in one. The most easterly parts of the island are a journey off the beaten track whilst, not far away in Elounda, a luxury Crete villa holiday means you’ll be rubbing shoulders with the rich and famous. But there’s always the option for a quiet supper in the mountain villages or a spot of seafood on the seafront before you make your way back to you villa, stomach full and filled with a day of sunshine.

Make the most of your luxury Crete villa holiday

Crete’s many gorges, canyons and caves, along with the towering peaks of the White Mountains will satisfy anyone with a passion for dramatic landscapes whilst the vibrant towns of Chania, Heraklion and Rethymno bring a more cosmopolitan ambience to your villa holiday in Crete. However, there are lower-key resorts, atmospheric old towns and numerous archaeological sites to ensure the authentic, traditional, historic side of Crete is always there to be experienced.

The Cretian villa that was made for you

Including Wifi and air-conditioning, all the essentials are in place, whichever handpicked luxury villa in Crete you choose. Private pools also come as standard – although the views are anything but – and you’ll find a welcome hamper waiting for you, alongside the promise of an unforgettable holiday that could have been made just for you.
