Best Beaches in Crete
Crete is home to some of the most beautiful beaches in the Mediterranean. Elafonissi Beach is famous for its pink-hued sand and shallow turquoise waters, ideal for a relaxed day in paradise. Balos Lagoon, with its exotic mix of white sand and vivid blue sea, feels almost tropical. Falassarna Beach on the west coast offers a vast sandy expanse and breathtaking sunsets. For a more secluded setting, Preveli Beach combines palm forest scenery with a unique river-meets-sea landscape, making it one of the island’s most picturesque coastal spots.
Best Places of Interest in Crete
Crete is steeped in history and natural beauty. The Palace of Knossos near Heraklion offers a fascinating glimpse into Minoan civilisation, while the old towns of Chania and Rethymno charm with their Venetian architecture, harbourfront cafés, and colourful streets. The Samaria Gorge in the White Mountains is perfect for adventurous travellers looking for a rewarding hike through dramatic scenery. Inland, traditional villages like Archanes offer authentic experiences, local wine, and hearty Cretan cuisine. For a cultural touch, the Archaeological Museum of Heraklion holds one of Greece’s most significant collections.
Best Resorts for a Luxury Holiday in Crete
Elounda on Crete’s northeast coast is a go-to destination for exclusive escapes, offering five-star resorts, elegant dining, and views over Mirabello Bay. Agios Nikolaos blends a cosmopolitan feel with lakeside charm, boutique hotels, and nearby beaches.

Wherever you choose, Crete combines indulgence, tradition, and value in equal measure.
What to expect from Crete weather
Crete benefits from a long, sun-rich season and one of the warmest climates in Greece.
