There are certain benefits that come from staying in a villa, especially in the stunning Greek island Crete. It’s an island that’s known for its terrific weather, beautiful scenery and warm friendly people, and you can perhaps enjoy the whole experience more in a villa.

You can get the advantage of having your own swimming pool, perhaps slightly elevated white mountains also known as Lefka Ori. There’s more peace and privacy in a villa, while the many hotels in Crete are brimming with holidaymakers, so in one sense you’re paying for seclusion in a Villa.

You do have to buy your own food as all inclusive is never an option, but there are many different taverns and restaurant to try, especially those cooking fresh gyros kebabs. A villa in Crete is all about privacy, the freedom to try different foods and not just dishes laid out on a buffet table, and it’s one of the most popular types of holidays in this desirable Greek island.
