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!

As you would expect when dealing with Crete Direct, our prices are very competitive - and additionally, we are pleased to offer further discounts if you stay in one of our Holiday Villas for more than ten days continuously.

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.
