Why Crete especially, you might ask? Well, there are endless highly compelling reasons but here are just five among them that we feel are probably the most convincing...

Sitia

If you are booking a villa in Crete, you will discover that there are plenty of incredible attractions to visit and things to see and do from wandering around famously pretty towns like Chania, to exploring the world-renowned ruins of Knossos, to spending perfect days on the beaches of the Gramvousa Peninsula. However, as you explore the island, you might be after some peace and quiet and some time in a destination that is a little more untouched by mass tourism… Cue a day in the charming town of Sitia!

Plus, many of our villas in Crete come with a private pool, giving you the chance to cool off and soak up the sun without having to leave your villa, as well as outdoor spaces and terraces where you can eat meals or enjoy a glass of wine al fresco under the stars.

The Greek island of Crete is famously beautiful, with a landscape of picturesque little white-washed towns topped by blue church domes and ancient ruins, rugged mountains traversed by climbers and goats alike, lush green valleys cut through by impressive gorges and silver rivers, picture-perfect beaches framed by dramatic cliffs and lapped by sparkling azure waters, and much more besides. It is a place where immense natural loveliness and impressive manmade feats live in perfect harmony to produce scenes almost too cinematic and remarkable to believe are real. Those who find a villa in Crete might choose to go to various nearby tourist attractions, explore the town or village in which they are based, seek out neighbouring resorts to see what they have to offer, or go on a tour of some of the gorgeous beaches nearby but doing even all of these things will likely only give you a tiny taste of all that Crete has to offer. If you really want to come and see all that makes the island so unique and to really immerse yourself in the distinct atmosphere of this magical part of Greece, then we recommend hitting the road on a motorcycle or scooter!
