The Greek islands have lots to offer if you’re looking for a sun-drenched Mediterranean holiday. Crete and Corfu are two particularly popular choices.

For a quieter break, head to Chania in the south, an area commonly referred to as one of the most beautiful on the island, or for an ancient culture fix check out Heraklion, which is home to the mighty Knossos ruins – an ancient Minoan palace and legendary prison of the mythical Minotaur. Meanwhile, action and wild nights out can be found in the bars and clubs of buzzing Malia. Whatever type of holiday you’re looking for, there are some great cheap hotels deals on Crete hotels at the moment to help make it complete.

Corfu

In contrast to Crete, Corfu is the most northern of the main Greek islands and the seventh largest of the archipelago. Its close proximity to the mainland – just a 50 minute ferry ride from Igoumensita to southern Corfu, or 1.5 hours to Corfu Town – makes it a convenient choice for those seeking a change of scene during their holiday. Corfu Town on the east coast is where a lot of the action is. This large and bustling town offers fortresses, museums, shops and restaurants galore as well as some attractive and unusual Venetian architecture. Golf enthusiasts should head to the beautiful Ropa Valley in the centre of the island, where they’ll find Corfu’s acclaimed championship golf course. Meanwhile, families can enjoy a trip to the popular Aqualand water park in Agios Ioannis. Whether you’re seeking action or relaxation, the latest deals available on Corfu hotels will make it a trip to remember.
