If pristine sand and alluring blue waters drive you wild, then Greece is the place to head to. Most tourists think that Greece has a lot to offer historically. But not many know that it is also home to some of the best islands and beaches in the world. If you are a Sun and Surf lover, then you simply cannot stay away from Greece.

 

Of all the places in Greece, Crete holds a special place in my heart. While it has a flavor of the typical Greece, it has a special air of its own.

 

 From the Minoan sites of Knossos and Phaistos to the Venetian          castle, Crete is submerged in history and legends.  It has a rich and colorful socio-cultural atmosphere that will leave you smitten by its grandeur.

 

 If you are planning a vacation in Crete then it is best that you plan it well. If you reach Crete in the peak tourist season for example, you might find accommodation extremely hard to find and e

ven if you do find it, it might be extremely expensive.

 

Hotels and reservation

 

Based on where you are holed up, you can choose from a range of hotels or villas in Crete.

 

For example, if you are staying in Chania, then the Akti Hotel which is just 50 meters away from the amazing beaches of Aghioi Apostoloi is a great place to stay in. They have 7 double bed studios and 4 apartments on offer. Apart from these, they also have the best when it comes to modern amenities and services. The view at dusk is simply stunning to say the least.

 

On the other hand if you are staying in Heraklion, then the Villa Bellevue Apartments in Agia Pelagia is worth a visit. Apart from a spectacular view of the sea, the apartments also have an extremely friendly and warm ambience.
