Cheap flights to Crete

Tired of grey, rainy weather? In need of a little sunshine? Are you dreaming of long, lazy days? Or maybe it’s time to trade your fitness centre for walks in enchantingly beautiful surroundings? There’s no doubt about it: Crete has exactly what you need!

Whether you want romantic relaxation, a fun family holiday, an active getaway with lots of walks, or if you’re simply into basking in the sun on the beach after a long Danish winter, Crete is just the place.

Crete is the most southerly and the largest of the Greek islands -- but not so large that you can't manage to see most of it on your holiday. Historically speaking, Crete’s location right in the middle of Europe, Asia and Africa has made the island attractive to conquerors over the centuries and has also given it – and the Cretans themselves -- a unique position of power. Crete was the centre of Minoan culture about 4000 years ago, and its heritage can still clearly be seen in the excavations of its four palaces, of which Knossos is the largest and most famous.
Today, in addition to the wealth of historical monuments, Crete offers fantastic nature, incredible sun-soaked sandy beaches, friendly and hospitable people, and a huge selection of tavernas, nightclubs, bars, and exciting restaurants and shops.

You can visit the leather street in Chania for fine leather products made on the spot, or fill your suitcase with delicious Greek specialities such as honey, raki, and quality locally produced olive oil.

And don't forget to set aside a day to walk through the Samaria Gorge, the island's 16-kilometer-long paradise that’s unlike anywhere else in the world. The Samaria Gorge is a nature preserve and visitors are not allowed to pick so much as a flower along the marked paths. But you can enjoy their beauty where they grow.
