Luxury villa holidays in Palekastro & East Crete

Crete, the largest of our Greek Island destinations, has long been a magnet for visitors eager to soak up the sun. But for a taste of island life before tourism, our luxury villas around Palekastro & East Crete take you off the beaten track for a truly authentic holiday experience, spectacular beaches included.

Stylish and comfortable, our carefully chosen villas include all the creature comforts that Simpson Travel includes as standard, from a welcome pack to wifi, as well as a hire car – a must if you really want to get to know this unspoilt and naturally beautiful destination.

Getting out and about

From Minoan ruins to Blue Flag white sandy beaches, pretty fishing villages to dramatic canyons and gorges, when curiosity draws you beyond your luxury villa and private pool, there’s plenty to do. And when you need a break from sightseeing, there’s always a harbourside taverna not too far away.

Near Palekastro, Kouremenos Beach is the place to catch a breeze – a windsurfing hotspot with an accompanying laid-back vibe. Ierapetra and Sitia are the two main towns in a region that otherwise thrives on village life – small communities that welcome guests warmly and ensure that a luxury villa is merely the icing on the cake of a wonderfully relaxing holiday.

If you’re tempted by a luxury villa in this more remote and unspoilt corner of Crete and want to find out more, read our guide to Palekastro & East Crete.
