Crete
Boasting over 1000km of coastline and a sunshine record that extends to over 300 days per year Crete, the largest and most southerly Greek island, is a destination that truly has it all!
Our hand-picked portfolio incorporates traditional stone-fronted houses in spectacular country and village locations alongside more contemporary villas with stunning sea and rural views.
All are very well equipped, have their own private pool and are within easy reach of the coast, indeed several lie within walking distance of lovely sandy beaches and charming local tavernas.

Flying to Crete
There are two airports on Crete, Heraklion and Chania, both are well served by a variety of flights from many of the UK's regional airports. Our changeover day for Crete is a Tuesday and most of our properties can be reached within an hour's drive of Chania and 75 minutes of Heraklion.
Nowadays, the variety and choice of flights from UK airports to European destinations is considerable. We do not tie you in to a package holiday with prearranged travel; you are free to choose flights from your closest airport using any charter, scheduled or low cost airline.
We always recommend booking your flights and hire car as soon as you have decided on your holiday accommodation. You will find that fares are usually lower and the choice of flight times is wider.
Airport parking and hotels
Up to 60% discount with Vintage Travel and 'Holiday Extras'
Once your flight is booked you will want to plan your journey from home to the airport and
arrange car parking for the duration of your holiday.
At many UK airports you can pre-book Valet Parking or Meet and Greet service, either driving straight to the airport terminal where you hand the car over to
a representative, or to the secure parking area from where you will be taken in a shuttle vehicle to your departure terminal.
If your flight departure is an early one,
why not stay the night before at an airport hotel? Or View Parking at UK Airports.
Hotels with parking are often cheaper than parking alone and prices usually include transfers to and from the airport terminal. Many hotels offer free child places, special meal offers and use of leisure facilities, so your holiday gets off to a stress-free start.

You may find that the Airport Car Hire service suits your needs; pick up a hire car, up to 24 hours before your flight, drive to the airport and either walk or be transferred to the terminal. On return you have up to 24 hours to return the car, and you can even fly out of one airport and into another at no extra cost.
Another option is to book into an Airport Lounge , where you can escape the hustle and bustle of the airport terminal and relax for up to 3 hours before your flight.
