Crete is large, varied, and layered and choosing where to stay can shape your experience entirely.
Elena’s guide to the best areas to stay in Crete helps you narrow your options, whether you’re drawn to history, beaches, mountain trails or farm-to-table feasting. For Venetian charm and seaside ease, consider pairing your stay with a locally owned hotel. For timeless character, combine with a guesthouse steeped in tradition. Or for a full-immersion experience, link it with a wellness escape on a nearby island.
