Lying midway between Athens and Africa, Crete is the largest of the Greek islands. Both its size and its position have considerably influenced its history, making it what it is today - fiercely independent, with its own dialect, customs and music.
To make the most of your stay on the beautiful island of Crete, we have a number of fabulous resorts for you to choose from. If you are interested in visiting the number one tourist town in Crete, then Aghios Nikolaos is the right resort for you. If charm, tradition and character is something that you look for in a destination, then either Bali, Elounda or Koutouloufari are what you are looking for. If relaxation is more your thing, then peaceful Gouves or attractive Hersonissos is the right resort for you. If you want to up the tempo a little bit, then choose Kokkini Hani or Rethymnon. Malia is also the largest of all the resorts and the very best for nightlife, perfect for all pleasure seekers. If you simply want to be in the middle of it all, then Stalis is a brilliantly positioned resort.
