Cheap Holidays in Crete
Beach Holidays
The Greek island of Crete offers something for everyone irrespective of age. The west of the island has retained most of the island's traditions and natural beauty whereas the northern part is a holiday Mecca offering all the usual trimmings of sun, sea and sand. In the peak season parts of the island are overrun by tourist who flock to the massive hotel complexes but fortunately you can still escape and explore the endless beaches, quaint Greek villages, coves, caves and gorges along with the inland mountainous area.
Crete has been ruled by the Romans, Turks and Venetian’s in the past and they have all left their mark on this Greek island. An interesting day trip would be to one of the famous Minoan archaeological sites, especially the palace of Knossos and Phaistos where you can see the remains of the archaic Minoan culture that flourished here thousands of years before Christ. If all this sounds a little to energetic for you then the beaches on Crete can be as energetic or relaxing as you wish. Every type of water sport is on offer including some great windsurfing. After a hectic day mimic the locals and start with a leisurely stroll around the shops which sell everything from jewellery and perfume to herbs and lace. Linger over dinner with a bottle of retsina as you watch the boats bob up and down in the harbour or if you still have some energy left then visit some of the more exuberant bars and nightclubs where happy hour seems to go on until dawn.
