European Getaways to Ancient Greek Islands

How to Save on Greece Accommodations

Stunning mountainous scenery, fascinating archaeological sites and magnificent beaches await travelers on Crete. Located on the Mediterranean Sea, Crete is the largest of all Greek Islands and the perfect destination for ancient culture and fine architecture enthusiasts. Fans of tanning and watersports will also be thrilled with Crete’s turquoise waters and beach side accommodations.

 Beautiful water view villas and typical whitewashed houses can be found all around Crete. While hotels are pretty expensive luxury that not everyone can afford, privately owned houses with fabulous amenities and lush surroundings can be rented for much less. Sites like Rentalo.com, a premier worldwide lodging directory, list Greece vacation villas at reasonable prices.
