For those looking for luxury The Elounda Beach Hotel & Villas, is the ultimate hideaway with luxury guest rooms, villas and suites. In a unique waterfront location, experience the feeling of relaxing in your own heaven at sea level with outstanding personalized service. Overlooking the Bay of Elounda, Elounda Peninsula All Suite Hotel is set on a peninsular stretch of land, with a view of Mirabello Bay and the Aegean Sea. The 5-star Domes of Elounda, Autograph Collection offers luxurious accommodation with spa bath overlooking the Unesco-protected island of Spinalonga and its Venetian castle. Its 4 restaurants are serving haute cuisine dishes and each one offers casual beachside settings or elegant dining rooms with panoramic sea views. Guests can taste progressive Asian, Italian and Greek cuisine, seafood and traditional Cretan dishes. Endless views, crystal clear waters and a host of cultural and gastronomical experiences await guests at Blue Palace, a Luxury Collection Resort and Spa. The Elounda Bay Palace offers accommodation to suit all tastes. Each category is specially designed to enhance the holiday experience and to make their guests feel totally at home.

I stayed at the Hotel Porto Veneziano which overlooked the Venetian Harbor in Chania and the Hotel Casa Delfino which is like staying in a Venetian palace and I recommend both hotels highly. The inexpensive but very comfortable Ammos Hotel (top photo) in Chania is also highly recommended, especially for families though getting a room here is a matter of luck because it is so popular.

For hostels, pensions, rooms, self-catering and very cheap accommodation see Booking.com's Crete Hotel Searchand Hotels of Greece Crete page to find hotels by category, price, etc. these pages are also very useful for finding homes, apartments and villas for rent.

If you are looking for Villas, Holiday Homes and Self Catering Apartments see Villas in Crete.

For those who want to take my advice and book through a reliable Greek travel agency you can find one on my Greek Travel Agency page. If you are combining Crete with other islands I recommend this.

If you are trying to book Crete as part of an itinerary that includes Athens and other islands try Matt's Create-an-itinerary form which enables you to put together your own itinerary and get a price back from the agency with no obligation to buy.

When booking a hotel in Crete it is probably a good idea to fist decide which part of Crete you want to be in and then look for the hotel instead of the other way around. But the following suggested hotels in Crete are all popular hotels in good locations. You can also use the links to the hotels to find other hotel suggestions in the area as well as apartments and villas. Be sure to save the pages. I also have a special page for Chania Hotels

Homes, Villas and Apartments

If you are looking for Villas, Holiday Homes and Self Catering Apartments see Villas in Crete. The trend these days in Greece is to rent a house, especially for families with children because having two or three rooms in a hotel can be inconvenient. Though living in a villa or apartment can feel isolating at times, especially for children (who, lets face it, have a lot more fun when they are staying somewhere there are lots of other kids around, like a big hotel on the beach with a swimming pool), sometimes it makes more economic sense to rent a house.

By using Booking.com's Crete Hotel Search you can find properties all over the island ranging from luxury villas with swimming pools to simple homes and apartments. With maps, lots of photos of the properties and a number of options for searching, you can find pretty much exactly what you are looking for. Keep in mind though, that unlike hotels which have dozens of rooms, a house generally sleeps from 4 to a dozen people, and they go very quickly. So if you find the perfect place, book it.

The Villa Dimelen is a 100sqm beachfront apartment in front of the beach of Lygaria in Crete. Ideal for families, groups of friends and couples looking for coastal holidays by the sea he house offers three fully equipped bedrooms with lovely panoramic sea views, an open plan living room with a fully equipped kitchen with large windows with gorgeous sea views and a big fully equipped dinning table.

You can also book hotels in Greece through Fantasy Travel and Dolphin Hellas Travel in Athens and Aegean Thesaurus Travel in Sifnos. They are all excellent travel agencies and they can also assist you with ferries, flights, tours and hotels in Athens and other islands.

Another option which I recommend is Matt's Create-an-itinerary Form where you can put together your own specialized itinerary and submit it and in 24 hours receive a reply with a price and whether or not your itinerary is even possible. There is no obligation to purchase either.
