Choose a holiday apartment in Greece CreteChoose Crete apartments and access the largest and most southerly of all the Greek islands. It has an amazing 1,000 km coastline with scattered coves, bays and peninsulas, many of which boast soft, sandy beaches along the stunning blue Mediterranean Sea. Crete oozes warmth and radiance. Driving around you are greeted with breath-taking views, where the rugged mountains meet with the clear seas. Crete apartments can place you in the center of village life or offer you spectacular mountain or sea views.From your Crete accommodation, your hardest decision will be what to go and see first, as there are so many destinations to enthrall you. From Minoan archaeological sites in Knossos to mountain climbing in Dikti. However, the best way to discover Crete is to hire a car, which are available on nearly every corner of every town. As you travel through Crete you will be hit by the aroma of wild herbs, such as sage and thyme. Fresh fruit is in abundance as is the best of the world's olive oil and healthy, delicious cheeses. Enjoy the delight of sipping a Greek coffee at the roadside in a mountain village. It is also a historian's and archaeologist's paradise. Crete is renowned for its archaeological sites and museums. Visit the Archaeological Museum, that exhibits many items discovered in Eastern Crete, or the Folklore Museum with is vast display of woven textiles and embroideries, both located in Agios Nikolas. A trip to Crete wouldn't be complete without a trip to Spinalonga, famously known for its leprosy colony. After a visit to Elounda & Spinalonga island, the small village of Kritsa offers insight into village living, with a few tourist shops offering local wares, such as rugs, tablecloths and handicrafts. Traditional Cretan entertainment is almost always related to weddings or baptisms that will involve eating, drinking, listening to traditional music and dancing. Cretans are proud and welcoming people who preserve their culture and customs, particularly their strong musical tradition. In every town there is a vast array of places to eat. Try Mare & Monte Restaurant or La Strada in Agios Nikolas, both serving a variety of Cretan and Italian foods, and freshly caught fish. By choosing to stay in one of our many holiday apartments and villas in Greece, Crete villas and apartments will enable you to get a feel for local life. Start your day with a Greek coffee at one of the local cafes, before they get filled up with tourists.
