Rent a villa on Crete - you'll find villas with flights and villas with no car required
Summer on a Greek island - that's got to be one of the best summer holidays to have. But which
Greek island do you fancy for this year's summer holiday? One
of the popular Greek islands is Crete. Located in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, Crete has
an awful lot going for it: sandy beaches, historical sites, busy night life - you'll find
a little of everything on Crete.
What better way to explore the joys of Crete than by renting a villa for a couple of weeks in the summer.
You may want to rent a villa and organise the flights yourself, or why not get somebody who really knows
what they're doing to get you the best deal, and rent a villa with flights.
There is a nice variety of villas to choose from on Crete: villas away from it all, and ideal for a spot of relaxing,
there are villa with no car required. it's well worth having a look at some of the villas
on Crete.
As we all know, there are a plethora of flights on the market. However it isn't always easy to get a flight which
matches your villa holiday dates and times. if you're a dab hand at matching the two, you may well want to sort
your flights out yourself. If, on the other hand, you'd rather let someone with a wealth of experience book your flights -
you may well want to get those nice people over at
James Villas
to help you out. We booked a villa holiday last year and found it much easier for James Villas to get the whole
package booked for us. When you have children in tow you really want to make sure that things go like clockwork!
Villas on Crete - no car required
To really get around and see the island of Crete, you probably need a car. Although you may not be
looking to spend too much time looking all around the island - maybe you want to amble about, be near the shops and beach, and not
have to jump in the car every time a trip to the beach is called for. You'll be pleased to hear that Crete has plenty of villas where no car is required, When taking a villa holiday,
we never book a hire car - to be quite honest, I have enough driving in the UK, without flying a few thousand miles only to jump in the driving seat again. Give
me a taxi to the villa, and if I'm really lucky, a bicycle for a few days.
