We've plotted your holiday accommodation as accurately as possible. But for some smaller hotels or villas the map may pinpoint the centre of the nearest town rather than the property itself, so make sure you read the location description too.
In the UK, this holiday is only available from the Thomson Group.
This is our 24-hour phone service. You can use it to book days out, find out the local bus times and let us know about any problems that crop up. Prefer to speak to someone face to face? You can call us to arrange a personal visit too.

A cosy timeless cottage set in a traditional village on Crete's lovely southern coast
This pretty little cottage, in the hamlet of Metochi, is coming up to its 100th birthday. It was built in 1923, and you can still see an historical bread oven in the grounds outside. That said, there are plenty of modern comforts here, including a well-shaded swimming pool.
Inside, the open-plan living and dining room has a fireplace, two sofas, which can be converted into single beds, and lots of charm. The walls are exposed stone, decorated with delicate lace hangings. And flashes of red from the furniture’s throws and the red and white checked tablecloth liven up the room and add to its homely feel. The double bedroom, meanwhile, leads off the lounge area and has a mosquito net surrounding the double bed and an olde-worlde cotton and lace duvet. There’s also the modern benefit of air-conditioning.
If you feel like venturing to Metochi or Kamilari, three kilometres away, you’ll find a few shops, tavernas and plenty of kafenion. Locals still gather at these Greek cafés for games of backgammon, cards and glasses of ouzo.
