Crete is the island where rugged mountains hide secret coves, family-run tavernas serve recipes passed down for generations, and the sea is always the perfect shade of blue 🐬

Relax for 5 nights at an adults-only, spa hotel in Crete for £413pp - with all your meals, snacks, and cocktails on the house…

Crete, eh?

Birthplace of the King of Gods, European civilisation, dwarf mammoths and Jennifer Aniston’s dad… Crete’s a pretty big deal.

Trek through Europe’s longest mountain gorge, explore the cave where Zeus was born and feast on cheese and meats in a rural taverna.

Countless afternoons on bubblegum beaches, whisked away by turquoise seas - Big Fat Greek Wedding anyone?

Where will I sleep?

This adults-only spot is all about soaking up the good life - that means floating in the outdoor pool as you watch turquoise sea melt into clear skies and getting pampered in the spa with a sauna session or massage.

The two restaurants serve up delish Greek eats. And since it’s all-inclusive all your meals and drinks are free.

Step outside, and boom - you’re on the promenade, with powdery sand beneath your feet. The staff can hook you up with diving, canoeing, or even a bike to explore the island.

What will I do?

There’s also plenty of local beaches to explore so a road trip for 3 hours across the island for a beach sounds pretty extra, but wait til you see Elafonisi.

This bubblegum bay is mouthwateringly beautiful. Sprawl out on coral-tinted sands and paddle with mermaids in the shallows.

If you're feeling adventurous, why not tackle a Spathi mountain hike? It stands at 2,148 metres and there's a cave and rocky path leading to the summit, serving up lovely sea views.
