The maritime laws in Crete are very strict and it is therefore impossible to rent a boat with an engine for private use on the north coast but it is possible on the south coast (see full details below). On the north coast there are a choice of day cruises available to different destinations including the incomparable Balos Lagoon, and the island of Santorini.

Full details of these trips can be found below. Tickets for all boat trips can be bought from your Villas Crete Holidays representative in Almyrida.

For those guests who do not want to rent a car but who would still like to see some of Crete’s superb countryside and archaeological sites, a guided excursion is the perfect solution. Even for those of you who have cars an occasional excursion can be a relaxing alternative, particularly for the driver who is usually too busy concentrating on the winding Cretan roads to see any of the wonderful scenery! Some of our excursions also offer the opportunity to see places that are only accessible by either boat, ferry, or on foot. We at Villas Crete Holidays only work with licensed guides who are very knowledgeable and will therefore enhance your experience. We only use luxury coaches which are fully air-conditioned, and many of which have a toilet. We offer a choice of coach excursions and  boat trips and whilst full details and tickets are available from our Villas Crete Holidays representative in resort,  the following descriptions should whet your appetite.

Being the largest, most diverse, and most southerly Greek island, Crete is able to provide a remarkable variety of holiday activities to suit all ages and interests. The island has such rich and varied terrain with miles of coastline, mountains, gorges, caves, plateaus and beaches, that it is ideal for everyone. Whether you prefer more to get out and about in nature, more sedate activities such as cooking, wine tasting, and leisurely sightseeing, or even extreme sports, Crete can offer you a multitude of unique experiences.
