Crete is the largest Greek island, which attracts thousands of travelers from around the world every year. Someone is interested in sunny sandy beaches and the azure sea washing the island, someone is fond of history and mythology. To choose a hotel in Crete, you need to determine the correct requirements for it.
It is necessary
- - brochures for travel agencies;
- - the Internet;
- - information about the island.
Instructions
Step 1
Decide on the goals of your trip. You need to know the exact number of people, dates, and the presence or absence of children. The latter criterion is necessary in order to choose a hotel in Crete that provides some entertainment, as well as the possibility of babysitting if you want to take a long excursion.
Step 2
Decide which type of vacation is preferable for you. Some people like to relax in the mountains, breathing in the fresh sea air. Others would prefer the beach to be within walking distance of the hotel. The fact is that the island of Crete is rich in places far from the sea, in which comfortable hotels are located. Accommodation costs are sometimes lower than in coastal areas. Some tour operators take advantage of the tourists' ignorance of the structure of the island and offer rooms in places far from the sea. The prospectus may indicate that the distance to the beach is only "800 meters". In fact, it turns out that you have to go uphill, then downhill, which significantly increases the distance and complicates the road. Especially if small children are traveling with you.
Step 3
Do not give up on hotels located in small villages. Especially if you book a tour through an operator and you will have an airport transfer at your disposal. As a rule, such places are dominated by family-type hotels located near the beaches. Also, in the village, the cost of goods will be slightly lower, which will reduce the cost of food, if you do not have an "all inclusive" option. Another plus is the opportunity to taste real national cuisine typical of the region in which you are resting. Moreover, the prices and quality in less popular tourist places will be amazing.
Step 4
Select several hotels, find reviews of tourists who have already rested there. Study everything carefully, pay attention to the posted photos. Of course, everyone's tastes are different, but you can draw your own specific conclusions by reading several reviews. Take your time with your choice of hotel and then you will have an unforgettable vacation on the beautiful island of Crete.
