Best Adult-Only Hotels on Crete
Crete is a gorgeously sunny island escape, with so much choice when it comes to adults only accommodation that you can find a lively adults only hotel, a peaceful, reclusive hideaway, a beach resort, or a romantic, intimate property. If you’re looking for a smaller hotel, consider looking along the lesser known south coast — try Asia Galini, around undeveloped Lasithi in the east — or along the shorter western coast. For adults only five star resorts and luxury beach hotels consider Agios Nikolaos and Elounda. Rethymno is good for romantics, and Chania is historic. Another top tip for avoiding the youngsters is to make sure that you travel outside the school holidays!
