Calling all beach lovers! With one of the longest summer seasons in the Mediterranean, where it’s beach weather from May pretty much through to the end of October, it’s no wonder that Crete is such a big hit with holiday makers in search of some much-needed R&R.
As Greece’s largest island, at 280 kilometres long and up to 64 kilometres wide, Crete is far larger than most people imagine. As such, its coastline boasts a huge array of hidden inlets and beaches where you can have pretty much to yourself (even in high season) to the honeypot sandy stretches to which tourists, families, couples and groups of friends understandably flock.
Having operated here for over 30 years, we know every beach here, so bag your beach towel, scoop up the sunscreen and see which one will suit you best!
