An introduction to Crete
When you're treating yourself to a touch of luxury, holidays in hen you're treating yourself to a touch of luxury, holidays in Crete could be right up your street. Take, for example, the blissfully scenic Gulf Of Mirabello – where herb scented hillsides make a splendid backdrop to views of a sea that's impossibly blue … And the neighbouring resorts of Elounda and Aghios Nicolaos make full use of their scenic setting with more than their fair share of 5 star holiday hotels. A cluster of pampering complexes take prime position at the water's edge, each with sports facilities, a variety of venues for wining, dining and grazing, and a private beach that makes the whole experience that bit more exclusive. Holidays here are cosseted enclaves of privacy, pampering and peace … answering all your needs on site, yet tempting you out to enjoy the atmosphere of Elounda's village square or the people-watching pavement tables by Aghios Nicolaos's 'bottomless' lake.
At the opposite end of the island, the luxury breaks are equally enticing. Lyttos Beach is home to our brand new 5 star complex, Sensatori. In Rethymnon, meanwhile, temptation includes one of Crete's most prestigious hotels, the Grecotel Creta Palace. Set by the town's long beach and within easy reach of its atmospheric Venetian harbour … a must for a water's edge meal under starlit skies.
