Villas and Country Houses to rent in Crete
Holiday Villas and Apartments
Welcome to the simple and economical way of booking a Holiday Villa in Crete. Book your flight direct with the airline, your hire car direct with our local recommendation and your accommodation direct with us - better service, intimate local advice and knowledge - at lower cost.

Crete Direct really does mean Direct - we are not a travel agency or tour operator. Our holiday houses are available between March and November - we don't have weekly 'change-over days' so you can rent for as long as you wish, and come and go any day of the week - you choose!

Our villas are close to facilities but not in busy tourist areas, so you can sample Cretan life as it really is but with excitement and entertainment never far away. Our holiday villas are all individual houses - some are set in social, neighbourly locations and some are alone. They all offer relaxing, convenient accommodation in the heart of this beautiful area.

Villa Dimitra   Villa Dimitra, Lousakies, Kissamos
2 - 3 Persons
An absolutely authentic Cretan stone village house almost alone in a farming hamlet, high in the hills of Lousakies; 5km above Kissamos to the north and the fabulous beaches of Fallasarna to the west. Built about 150 years ago, the house has 1 bedroom, but room for another person in the spacious sitting room. Dimitra features a traditional open fireplace and is full of local historical curios and artefacts. Wonderful views - a perfect location for hiking & climbing or as a base to travel to the whole of the west of the island.

A modern, traditionally-styled and beautifully built one-bedroom house adjoined by Villas Persephone and Alexandra, all sitting amid beautiful gardens and olive trees high on a hill overlooking the bustling city of Chania.
Very spacious modern accommodation of a very high standard. A perfect romantic retreat for a couple. Edge of village location but close to big-city facilities.

Wonderful mountain and sea views. Five minutes to beaches by car, ten minutes to the dynamic, bustling and cosmopolitan city of Chania and all its excitement - but next to beautiful walks in the hills and valleys, eventually down to the lake and bird sanctuary at Agia.
