Holidays to Crete are the stuff legend, and rightly so. As the largest of the Greek Ionian Islands, and found at one of the most southerly points in Europe, this place has all the sun-soaked beaches, perfect hot summer weather and fun-filled activities you could hope for. But it's also a mountainous place and these high points are a large part of the personality of the island and its people. In the east is Mount Dikti, Mount Idi is right in the middle and in the west there's Lefka Ori (the White Mountains). Add to this a stunning history as old and impressive as anywhere else on the planet, and you can start to understand why all inclusive holidays to Crete, or quality Crete package deals are so highly recommended by us.

Hiking in gorges might not be top of everyone's list of things to do on their summer holiday in Crete, but Aigia Eirini is one of natural wonders of the world and should definitely be given a chance for those with a bit of wanderlust (just think of all the complimentary food on offer when you get back to your all inclusive hotel!) Crete is also a fantastic place to do some snorkelling thanks to the huge variety of fish, rocky sea bed, plants and crystal clear waters that surround the whole island.

Or for those of you who like to take things a little more easy (and a little less dressed!) then holidays to Crete are also a great option for those who like a bit of all-over tanning. There are in fact a number of secluded beaches that can nudists from all over the world enjoy getting down to some serious sun bathing.
