Hotels in Crete
Greece
Greece's largest island offers ancient Minoan ruins, dramatic gorges, pristine beaches, and warm hospitality.
Staying in Crete: What to Know
Crete is big enough to be three holidays: the Venetian harbours of Chania and Rethymno for romantic old-town hotels, the resort strips of Hersonissos and Malia for all-inclusive beach life, and Elounda for Greece's densest cluster of five-star spa resorts. Heraklion works as a base for Knossos and the archaeological museum. Distances are real — pick your region first, hotel second. The south coast stays quieter even in August.
