The fabled Greek island of Crete was once home to an incredibly powerful civilisation. As such, it is the setting for countless myths and legends that have fascinated and enthralled for millennia. The famous labyrinth of the Minotaur in which Ariadne gave her beloved Theseus the ball of yarn, the caves of Ideon Andron that gave shelter to a young Zeus, King Minos Palace in which were held captive the tragic father and son of Icarus and Daedalus... there are so many sites of huge historical and cultural importance that you can never fail to be impressed during a trip to the spectacular island of Crete.

And when you're not out exploring this stunning island, you can opt to wade into the gently lapping, glistening waters of its many heavenly beaches, or even enjoy your own private pool - just one of the perks of renting a luxury villa in Crete.
