Hotels with Breakfast Included in Crete

The largest of the Greek islands, Crete is a destination defined by dramatic contrasts. Here, you can hike the otherworldly Samaria Gorge, Europe's longest, and relax on the pink sands of Elafonissi Beach all in the same trip. History feels immediate at the Minoan palace of Knossos, while the old Venetian harbors of Chania and Rethymno offer labyrinthine lanes perfect for evening strolls and waterfront dinners.

For a first visit, basing yourself in Chania provides a beautiful, walkable base with excellent tavernas. The north coast, from Heraklion to Agios Nikolaos, is lined with resorts ideal for families and couples seeking convenience and long beaches. Solo travelers often find a great mix of culture and social life in Rethymno's old town. The island has two major airports in Heraklion and Chania, making most areas easily accessible, though renting a car is the best way to explore the remote southern coast and mountain villages.

On HOTEVI, you’ll find over 1609 places to stay across Crete. Accommodation ranges from simple, family-run apartments in coastal villages to sophisticated boutique hotels in restored Venetian mansions. Large, all-inclusive resorts dominate the coastline near Hersonissos and Malia, while Agia Pelagia and Elounda are known for their higher-end, luxury properties.
