Getting in touch with Crete Direct Email us London Administration: + 44 (0) 207 263 7080 Registered Office Crete Direct Ltd, St Mary's House, Netherhampton, Salisbury, England. SP2 8PU Registration No 3673201. Crete Direct Ltd. is a UK Registered Company
How to Book
Email or speak to us about what you want - seek our advice. Choose where you would like to be - determine the length of your rental contract, and the start and finish dates. Make a provisional reservation with us, which we'll hold for one week. Shop around for the best flight price and availability. We can advise you on the latest situation including the best days of the week to travel, from and to which airport to travel, and who to contact. Double-check with us and then book the flight. Don't forget Insurance. We will quickly confirm all the accommodation details in writing, and ask you to pay 25% of the accommodation cost directly to the Crete Direct Ltd. bank account in the United Kingdom. The car-hire decision is yours. You can book direct with Crete by clicking this link, or with an international car-hire company in your home country. Either way, they can arrange to have your car for you at your arrival airport. We issue you with an invoice two months before you arrive, and we ask you to pay the 75% balance prior to one month before you arrive. As soon as we receive final payment, we will send you a map showing you how to get to the accommodation. We will call to see you, to check all is well, within 24 hours of your arrival. After that, unless we are invited, we will leave you in peace and privacy.
Contracts and Conditions
We don't want to produce the usual pages of conditions that often seem to negate all that has been said elsewhere. Nevertheless, some things have to be said for everyone's benefit. Procedures for short-term contracts up to one month in duration. Provisional contract interest is expressed by you by telephone or email, and we will reserve the accommodation for you for a maximum of seven days whilst you book your flight. We will then send you a simple contract and a credit transfer slip so that you can credit our UK bank account with 25% deposit. Our bank account is on line so upon confirmation that you have credited our account and after receipt of a signed contract back from you, the contract between us is finalised and the deposit fee is then non-returnable. The agreed balance of your contract must be paid no later than one month before arrival following the invoice that we will send you two months before arrival. For contracts lasting longer than one month, then the procedure for the first month is as above, with the subsequent payments by individual arrangement.   Insurance Although Greece is of course a full European Union member, many of its customs and practices differ from the familiar in Northern Europe, particularly in terms of medical facilities. You should also assume that you are not personally insured when carried in any motor vehicle. It is a condition of contract between us, therefore, that you take out your own travel insurance.   Air Travel We can give advice as to airport information and put you in touch with agents, but please make your own flight arrangements and then inform us of the details. We cannot be held responsible for any problems with flights such as delays or cancellations by the operator or their agents. Prices Our prices are based on known costs and expenses incurred in a mixture of Euros and Pounds Sterling. Once a month we may adjust the relationship between Euros, Pounds and Dollars as displayed on our website but once you have exchanged a contract with us then the price is fixed in the currency and the amount as on that contract. Electronic Payments Please ensure when you make an inter-bank or wired payment (as opposed to a posted cheque) that you pay your own charges at your end and that it is made clear to your bank that the amount on the contract between us should be the net amount that we receive. Accommodation The accommodation is for the exclusive use of the clients shown on the contract, and is not to be sub-let under any circumstances. All breakages and losses must be paid for prior to departure, which normally ends at noon on the last day of rental. Liability Crete Direct is not responsible for loss or damage to clients because of circumstances beyond its control, such as failures of public supplies or transportation, acts by governments, civil disturbances, acts of God etc. In the unlikely event of any observations or complaints, do please discuss these directly with us, at the time, during your stay
About Crete Direct Crete Direct Ltd is not a holiday company or tour operator. Many of our clients stay for long periods as sabbaticals or to work undisturbed on a project such as a book or a course of study.  Some clients want to get the feel of living here before committing themselves to purchasing land or a house. We strongly recommend that potential investors should consider living here for a while, in order to understand the country and its culture. All of our houses are available for long rental periods at considerably lower prices.   From time to time, we have other houses and apartments available, so please ask if you want something extra or different to that shown on the site now. Much of the European travel industry remains as it was set up forty years ago when one "couldn't trust the locals". Today, as part of an international community using modern communications technology, we have all expanded our boundaries of familiarity. Many of us buy our air flights and book our car-hire direct, and so it must make sense to also book accommodation directly from Crete Direct.
