About Crete

Crete, the most southerly of the Greek islands, has a dramatic beauty rarely found elsewhere. Sandy beaches fringe clear blue seas; snow-capped mountains sweep majestically through vineyards and olive-groves to fertile plains - a treasure-house of gorgeous vegetables and fruit. The next curve in the country road you travel may reveal a field of poppies, a sleepy village or a Minoan palace.

Crete enjoys about 300 days of sunshine a year. Spring and Autumn temperatures average between 19 and 24 degrees; an ideal chance to benefit from some gentle, relaxing warmth. In Summer, soft sea breezes maintain comfortable temperatures.

We invite you to experience the essence of the naturally rugged and beautiful island of Crete. Living Crete offers a range of fully escorted holidays and tours. We design them with care, giving you the maximum opportunity to enjoy leisurely, comfortable travel amidst scenery of breathtaking beauty.

Savour the mouth-watering flavours of delicious home-grown Cretan food and drink the fabulous wines of the country whilst listening to the music of the ocean.

Let Living Crete transport you back into the heart of the Minoan world, whose mysteries will delight your imagination, on this island where the people’s genuine warmth and hospitality echo the gentle, relaxing warmth of the climate.

We work only with suppliers whose professionalism we can vouch for from first-hand experience. We select them for the efficient, welcoming service we can rely on them to provide.
