Hotels Crete: Holidays & Hotel Hopping

by Christin Papenfuss October 12, 2009, 9:34 am

There are many reasons for fascinating Crete: endless beaches, impressive rocky coasts – a paradise for sun worshippers and nature lovers.

As Mediterraneans third biggest island Crete gives you not just one opportunity to use your time wisely. With its giant mountains up to 2500 meters, high plateaus, deep canyons, grey and white sandy beaches, reams of olive trees and its three big cities Chania, Rhetymnon and Heraklion, it would take weeks to see it all at once.

The best way to experience Crete’s full size and diversity is to stay in different hotels spread all over the island in its several regions.  As a good starting point we would recommend Nymphes Luxury Apartments. This little 9 studio and apartment heaven in the middle of the islands north coast offers you a beautiful view over the deep blue Crete sea and a warm personal welcome by its owner Pepy. From here it takes you just 20 to 30 minutes to reach Heraklions airport and gives you a good opportunity to the see the cultural sights of the insular capital (don’t miss the archaeological museum with its worldwide unique Minoer exposition). Nature lovers and hikers will find their happiness climbing up the cliffy Psiloritis Mountains.

Besides fantastic panoramic views and apartments facing the bay of Agia Pelagia the Nymphe Luxury Apartments offer additional services such as having breakfast on its own terrace and for going on longer excursions enjoy one free night in one of Rethymnons or Chanias hotels.

If you’re looking for special classy hotels situated in the east of the northern coast you will definitely find them in Elounda. Elounda Gulf Villas with its private Pools and stunning sea views is the place where luxury meets style. Just a stone throw away with a similar concept you find the Pleiades Luxury Villas.

But also the western Island with its city Chania it’s worthy to stop by. This place is just meant to be for romantic getaways. The Casa Delfino Suites mansion situated in Chanias historic city centre with ancient Venetian remains gives the best excuse for a romantic trip for two; nearby warm sandy beaches in Balos, Falassarna and Elafonissi with crystal clear azure water and the famous canyons of Samaria and Imbros much loved by hikers will blow you away.

Crete is said to be the island of the goddess. That’s why you will love Escapio Crete hotels.
