To be able to spend your holiday exactly according to your personal preferences, a private holiday apartment for a holiday in Crete is just right. Although you have to cater for yourself in a holiday apartment, it is a completely different kind of work on holiday than at home. In the wonderful atmosphere under the Greek sun, a little bit of kitchen work is simply fun because you can enjoy the sunny view of the sea at the same time.
Even for breakfast, the terrace in your own garden with an inviting seating area is tempting, and here you can plan the rest of your day. In complete peace and without disturbances, as can certainly happen in a hotel, you can occupy the holiday apartment, relax, sunbathe, enjoy yourself, and simply give yourself over to the great ambiance. If you are planning a day at the beach, you don't have to drive far at all.
The perfect beach for a holiday in Crete
Crete is the largest Greek island and at the same time has a multitude of award-winning beaches that bear the Blue Flag beach sign. This award is given when the beach has a tested quality of sand and water. Cleanliness is primarily taken into account here, so that you will feel particularly comfortable on these beaches, and no less so on all the small beaches, in the wonderful sand and water. A spot on the beach of Episkopi is beautiful; here you can:
- Take long walks and collect seashells
- Lie in the sand or rent deckchairs and let the children build sandcastles
- Swim, snorkel
- Surf
- Enjoy the peace and quiet
- Enjoy culinary delicacies in taverns and bars
If you would rather visit a small and secluded beach, the Geropotamos beach is recommended, which is also only a few minutes away from the private holiday apartment for a holiday in Crete. By using a rental car, which you can book from the airport, you have many opportunities to explore the region. Perhaps you won't want to do that anymore after you have now gotten to know these two beaches, even though the region has so much to offer.
Holiday in Crete and the cultural highlights
When on holiday in Crete, you certainly also want to see the small towns and villages in the region, because there are a multitude of interesting sights here. Not only the scenic locations in the region where the private holiday apartment for a holiday in Crete is located, but also Rethymno itself has a lot to offer. Due to the Venetian architectural style, the city appears typically Italian, and Turkish influences can also still be found here. The Kara Musa Pasha Mosque is just as worth a visit as the Rimondi Fountain or the Venetian fortress, Fortezza.
