Crete 'can be a half-term highlight'

Families thinking of getting away this half-term could do well to consider Crete, according to Easier Travel.

If you are excited by the idea then the Vila Helene in Prines could be the place for you. The newly-built stone villa offers beautiful views and is set into a country hillside and is only a short ten minute drive from a number of beaches.

It is set in its own well kept gardens and has a private pool and terrace to help you enjoy the glorious Cretan sunshine.

The villa holds up to six people and deals start from £500 per week.

Crete is a member of the Greek islands and is the fifth largest island in the Mediterranean Sea. It covers 3,219 sq miles and offers numerous delights to the inquisitive traveller. For instance, Crete was the home of the ancient Minoan civilization (ca. 2600–1400 BC) and has a vibrant and interesting history just waiting to be explored.
