Frequently asked questions about cottages in Crete

  • What are the top must-see attractions in Crete, Greece?

    Crete boasts incredible diversity. For history buffs, Knossos Palace, a Minoan archaeological site, is essential, as is the Venetian fortress in Rethymno.

    A five-day trip allows for a taste of Crete's variety. Spend a day exploring Knossos and Heraklion. Dedicate another day to Samaria Gorge (allowing ample time for the hike). Spend a day relaxing on the beaches of the south coast, perhaps near Matala. Explore Chania's old town and Venetian harbour on another day. Finally, consider a day trip to one of the stunning beaches in the west, such as Elafonisi or Balos Lagoon.
  • What are the best cottages with a pool in Crete?

  • Is Crete, Greece a good destination to rent a cottage?

    Absolutely! Crete offers a wide range of cottages, from traditional stone houses in mountain villages like Anogia to modern villas near the coast in areas like Elounda or Agios Nikolaos.

    Crete's suitability for pedestrians and cyclists varies. Many towns and villages are easily walkable, particularly Chania's old town.

    Yes, beyond the well-known sites. Explore the abandoned village of Kayaköy near Chania, offering a glimpse into the past.

The less-visited monasteries in the mountains also offer a unique experience.

Visiting local markets, such as the one in Heraklion, allows for interaction with vendors and locals.
