Holidays to Crete with If Only

The largest of Greece’s islands, Crete has a diverse offering for a luxury stay, from opportunities to discover its fascinating ancient history to exploring its remarkable natural landscape. Spectacular white sand beaches do their best to keep visitors on the coast, but if they can be tempted to venture further afield, they’ll be rewarded with charming mountain villages and rugged mountain scenery. Crete’s southerly location in the Aegean Sea means the island enjoys a mild, Mediterranean climate with a longer tourist season than some of its Greek Island counterparts, and the Mediterranean influence is also evident in the delicious Creten cuisine, cultivated under warm, sunny skies and widely considered to be one of the healthiest diets in the world.

Highlights

There’s something for everyone in Crete, where historical sites, stunning scenery and sandy beaches converge in a slice of heaven for holidaymakers.

Marvel at The Palace of Knossos

The Palace of Knossos was once the capital of Minoan Crete and is the island’s most extensive and important archaeological site. After being destroyed and rebuilt several times during its history, extensive excavation and restoration of the site took place in the early 20th century and continues today, allowing visitors a unique insight into the Minoan civilisation through its remains.

Sip a drink in cosmopolitan Agios Nikolaos

The seaside resort of Agios Nikolaos is characterful by day and lively by night. Daytime can be spent strolling through the pedestrianised streets browsing local shops for souvenirs or wandering down to the small harbour and lake that is central to the town. At night the buzzy bars and restaurants lining the lake fill with people keen to enjoy refreshing drinks and delicious cuisine in stylish surrounds.

Hike the Samaria Gorge

The longest gorge in Europe at 16km in length and one of the most impressive in Crete, the Samaria Gorge in the White Mountains’ National Park rewards those who dedicate the time to walk it with amazing views of its soaring cliffs and beautiful flora and fauna.
