Crete Clubbing Holidays

Crete is the biggest Greek islands and probably the most fascinating of all. Located in the South of the Aegean Sea, the island has a lot to offer besides the best climate you can expect from Greece. There are breath-taking mountainous landscapes, wonderful beaches and rocky coves along its coast, beautiful towns and cosy villages, beautiful harbours and myriad traces of the old Minoan civilization which never cease to enchant tourists from all over the world.

In spite of being full of sights to see, which might give you the wrong impression of a strictly sightseeing attraction for historians and archaeologists, Crete has a very active life which makes it an excellent clubbing holiday destination for young people. You will find tasty Greek food and great music, clean taverns and hospitable people, lots of bars, clubs and restaurants to cater everyone, irrespective of their age or taste.

There are four counties in Crete: Chania, Rethymno, Heraklion and Lassithi, each with plenty of beauty to enchant the eye and splendid beaches that make your summer holiday the best you have ever had. Soft sand and coloured pebbles, lovely bays and deserted coves is what you will see in Chania, on beaches like Golden Beach, Kalyves, Agia Marina, Drapanias, Georgioupoli and many more.

The beaches in Rethymo are famous for their unspoilt beauty and emerald-like waters. The most popular beach here is Navagio Beach with fine volcanic sand and its unique attraction – the remains of a ship emerging from its white sand. The Laganas beach is well-known as a national park for an endangered species of sea turtle, the Carreta. Water sports are at best here and tourists who want to see and do everything that is available here might need more than a week. On the north coast of Heraklion you will discover other attractive coast resorts and splendid beaches like Mononaftis, Psaromoura, Amnissos, Amoudara, Kalamaki, Karteros, Kato Gouves and Hersonisos, where you will surely find a piece of Greek heaven ready to make it hard to leave.

On the coast of Lassithi you will not only see incredible golden sand, but also the unique Vai Beach with a magnificent palm forest containing about five thousand trees and incredible azure waters. Almiros, Ammoudara, Elounda, Havania, Istro and Sissi are a few other popular beaches in the region.

Accommodation is diverse; you can find luxury hotels, villas, spa hotels, apartments, bungalows, studios and even rooms to rent. Whichever you choose, don’t forget you won’t spend much time admiring your rooms; night life in Crete resorts is so lively that you will find yourself sleeping for most of the day.

The vibrant nightlife on Crete will make your clubbing holiday simply irresistible. The tavernas, dance clubs, music venues, nightclubs and a lot more party places are sprinkled all over the island, especially near Heraklio, Chania and Mallia. The music in clubs is a mixture of various scenes: top 40’s pop artists, traditional Greek, electronic and even heavy metal may spin at any given time. Clubs stand in a row so there is always a chance to get different kinds of entertainment in a rather small area. What is most interesting and you should know is the habit of many taverns to turn into a night club after a specified time.
