- I LOVE CRETE!The weather is superb.The beaches are clean & the sea water is bath temperature.The food is great & the Greeks are so friendly & hospitable.In my personal experience I CANT SPEAK HIGHLY ENOUGH OF THEM!I always feel quite sad to leave such a beautiful island.Try it!I"d be very surprised if you dont like it.Have fun!
- Useful Tips:
- Watercity at Anopolis.Its great fun day out for both kids & adults.Heraklion is a must for the ladies who like shopping!Its pretty good for the gents too as there are lots of sights to see if you get my drift?!Only downsides of Heraklion is the heat in summer,its oppressive.There are also a few beggars on the streets but you will find them anywhere in the world.

- Comments:
- Great resort, not too loud and not too quiet. People very friendly and helpful. Food is fantastic, make sure you seek out Scorpios. We ate there nearly every night. We have been to Gouves five times now, and will be returning.
- Useful Tips:
- Scorpios Restaurant, great little bars, Dont swim out too far in the sea as there are very strong undercurrents.

- This was the latest visit. We stayed Vassia beach,Sissi crete. A very beautiful traditional Greek fishing village with the choice of local life restaurants or a very relaxing and smart hotel in the shape of Vassi beach. We are a typical hard working family of a aduuls and 2 boys now 13 and 10 whose reward for hard work throughour the year is a beach holiday - we adore the warm climes of the Eastern med. The hotel represented excellent value for money and diplayed a high standard of care for all guests - young and old. The hotel seemed comfortable with it's target market and insisted on informal yet smart dress code for evening meals. Food was well prepared with plenty of choice and variety for all taste buds. All staff were friendly and pleasant. The rooms were of a very high standard although just a little more storage space would have come in handy for us. They were well maintained and cleaned daily.The maids deserve special thanks for their part.
- Useful Tips:
- The beautiful harbour and coast line. The wonderful hills and villages in the hills. I woule recommend car hire even if only for a day or two to explore this part of the island and across to Elounda - the scenic route over the mountains took us about 90 minutes and the new road going through the hills meant the return trip could be done in half this time easily. The local make tourists feel welcome and appreciate the business without making them feel patronised.

- Comments:
- This was our 4th trip to Crete and we will be back again. We love the archeology and the history. So easy to take local service buses to get around and visit places. The local people are friendly and helpful.
- Useful Tips:
- Make use of local bus services that are very efficient and economical. Book your trips in the towns and not with the tour operators to ensure best value for money.

- If you loved Spain 30 years ago, the unspoilt coastline, the traditional food in abundance and more importantly the culture and language relatively untouched then you'll love Almyrida in Crete. It is a small, sleepy fishing village on the North West Coast of Crete and it is amazing. Families and couples alike will appreciate the shallow bay and soft, sandy beach. If you fancy a week of hardcore clubbing then this aint for you. It's sexy, it's sunny, it's unspoilt and it's quaint. The only negative is the cost of everything. Because it's the only tourist trap for miles the shops hike up their prices, however the hotels more than cater for everything, so there's no need to shop. The hotels are classy and cater for every individual need and they are reasonably priced also. I would go back tomorrow.
- Useful Tips:
- High prices in shops. Lovely local food particularly in Pierers cafe
