Crete is the largest of the Greek islands – a colourful, characterful tapestry of historic treasures like the Bronze Age settlement of Knossos and the spectacular Arkadi Monastery. 

With sparkling, diverse landscapes punctuated by centuries-old ruins and glittery beachfronts, Crete is like catnip to both sun-seekers and history buffs. Whether you’re spending your time wandering through museums and ogling exhibits or bedding down on a lounger by the ocean, you might just fall head over heels for this paradisiacal Greek island. 

This package includes a relaxing seven nights’ stay at the Vasia Village Hotel in the picture-perfect fishing village of Sisi, overlooking the Cretan Sea. 

It’s the perfect place for a family getaway, offering a wealth of activities to excite the little ones and keep them busy. There’s an onsite water park (three adult slides and one children’s slide) and several swimming pools for energetic afternoons. 

When you’re not whizzing down water slides or sunning yourself, head out and explore the surrounding areas. For example, Vasia Village is just 15 minutes from the picturesque town of Agios Nikolaos – quaint, with smaller family beaches in the vicinity.
