Crete is the largest and one of the most diverse islands in Greece. With its crystal-clear waters, long sandy beaches, rugged mountains and traditional villages, it offers something for every type of traveller. Renting a private holiday home on Crete gives you complete freedom, comfort and the chance to explore the island at your own pace.
A private vacation rental or villa provides space, privacy and a local experience you won’t find in large hotels. Whether you prefer a luxury villa with a private pool or a cosy house in a peaceful village, Crete offers countless options for couples, families and nature lovers.
Crete is home to some of Europe’s most iconic beaches, including Balos Lagoon, Falassarna and the pink-sand beach of Elafonisi. With your own holiday home, you can easily explore hidden bays and more quiet coastal areas.
The island is rich in archaeological treasures such as the Palace of Knossos, ancient settlements and fascinating museums. Crete’s Minoan heritage makes it a paradise for travellers who love culture and history.
Inland Crete is filled with charming villages, olive groves and friendly tavernas. Taste local specialities, discover family-run wineries and enjoy the relaxed Mediterranean way of life.
