CRETE
The largest of the Greek islands and the fifth largest in the
Mediterranean Sea. Visit the Knossos Palace, the Venetian castle in Rethymnon, the
Samaria Gorge, ancient towns like Chania with their harbour side restaurants,
cafes, boutiques and craft shops. An island of many faces from the spectacular
mountainous scenery to the quiet unspoilt sandy beaches of the South.
Recommended is
the historical old town of Chania with its small narrow streets of craft shops,
restaurants and boutiques and the famous harbour side, anchoring both exclusive
yachts and local Greek fishing boats. Close by are a selection of well built and
equipped villas to choose from.
This hotel is
charming, run by a Greek family who invest heavily in ensuring that every
comfort is met for its guests. The hotel overlooks a large sandy bay, the
swimming pool is surrounded by large wooden sun beds available for
guests at no extra charge. The hotel will book PADI snorkelling and diving
programs. Waterskiing, wakeboarding and other watersports are within the next
bay. The dining room offers traditional Greek food alongside a choice of
European favourites. Rooms and bathrooms are small and quaint, and offer
spectacular views from the balconies. The hotel offers occasional low key
entertainment in the evenings and there is a pool table and internet access
available. An evening stroll, however, into the village to the small
shops and tavernas is delightful. This hotel offers excellent value for
your budget.
Set on a mountainside on
a 50 acre estate with fabulous views over the valley below, stand two villas,
each with their own pools. The ancient archaeological site of Knossos is
close to hand as is the capital of Crete. The helpful and friendly Greek family who own
the villas live in the 3rd villa and take pride in ensuring every stay is
memorable, even providing a complimentary dinner on their patio from fresh ingredients sourced
freshly from the locality. Home made cakes and jams along with a welcome
pack are provided on arrival and a delicious selection of meals can be ordered and brought up to the
villa in the evenings. For a get away from it all holiday with the added bonus
of Greek hospitality. Tuscany Self
