If you are choosing among our wonderful villas in Crete and are planning a holiday, you might be wondering about all of the details and things that you should consider to make the most of your time on this gorgeous Greek island – what kind of rental do you want, what do you want to see and do, and, importantly, how long should you spend on vacation in Crete? In order to plan your dream getaway properly, it is key to get the answer to this last question right. So, just how long should you spend on the island if you are booking a vacation rental in Crete?

With perfect white sand beaches, pretty little seaside villages and more built-up resort towns, famous archaeological sites, some astounding scenery, and a delicious local cuisine, Crete has everything that you could need for any vacation. However, we think that one of our villas in Crete would actually make for a dream honeymoon option, in particular. 

In addition to all of the above, Crete also has some more specific features and characteristics that make it a perfect place to start your new life together…

Crete is now famous all over the world as a tourist destination and a place of great beauty but it has been a remarkable corner of the globe for millennia, and therefore, it is a great idea to book a holiday rental in Crete to come and dive into its endless riches. It is, in fact, the very place where Europe’s first civilisation – the Minoans – thrived and rather spectacular traces of this early occupation still stand and can be admired to this day including the incredible archaeological sites and ruins at Knossos and Phaestus, to name only two of many examples. The Archaeological Museum of Heraklion, in the capital, houses an unbelievable wealth of the Minoan’s major artefacts and influential artworks. Regional museums throughout the island also display a host of intriguing artefacts from this period.
