Small-scale accommodation on Crete: It is high season and it seems like the whole of Europe is on holiday. In the tourist areas around the Mediterranean, it is everywhere crowded. And if you want to enjoy peace and tranquillity on holiday in a crowded and large holiday resort, it almost seems impossible. In a large holiday resort, you are one of the many guests and you are constantly looking for your traveling companions in the crowd. For your next holiday maybe book somewhere else and choose a friendly and small holiday resort. In high season you can at least enjoy your well-deserved holiday in peace at a small-scale accommodation on Crete. No large resorts, but apartments with a small-scale set up. Our accommodation with friendly atmosphere is in the tourist part of Crete, but not in the hustle and bustle.
The forecast for Crete (Zorbas Island - Kokkini Hani) until December 25, 2025: Wonderful winter weather, temperatures between 17-19 degrees Celsius. Northwesterly winds from the Aegean Sea. Locally, showers in the mountains.

In high season on holiday to Crete
Every week we organize various excursions for our guests to show the real Crete. We do this throughout the year, not just in high season. We go with only our guests and avoid the tourist attractions. Mountain villages where time seems to have stood still and no tourists come, are no cliché but reality. Crete, which is the largest island in Greece, has many still hidden historical and cultural treasures. But the main thing we like to show our guests is that it is a beautiful island with an amazing nature. For a holiday full of variety, you really should go to Crete. There are plenty of places here that have not yet been discovered by tourism.
