CRETE

Join us for a most unusual international week of touring, exploring, gourmet dining on the magic Isle of Crete. In conjunction with several other international singles organizations we will be jointly sponsoring this unique singles singles getaway.

Our singles will come primarily from Great Brittan and the US so English will be the main language. A real opportunity to meet, socialize, vacation and just have fun with singles from both the US and GB. Unlike our other singles vacations we have organized this to be a little less structured, we will be offering a mix of daily fun activities for you to choose from.. pick the only what appeals to you. We will be staying in a beautiful hotel with incredible facilities including gourmet dining room, 2 swimming pools, outdoor jacuzzi, sun terraces with sun beds, Wi Fi in public areas.

Crete – the southernmost island in Europe has “everything”! Its bountiful variety of features includes mountain villages, long sandy beaches, rocky bays, beach-bar-boogie & nightlife. There are magnificent mountain ranges, water-sports, tranquil locations and clean swimmable seas. Bathed in clear sunlight much of the year, the climate is one of the best in Europe....Crete offers both developed tourist areas with resort hotels and also quiet coves, hidden beaches and invigorating mountain villages and plateaus that reward the discerning world traveler. Wondrous moments, those memorable combinations of time & place that provide you with enriching experiences, are yours - here - if you explore the island.(Crete Travel)

There is a lot to do in Crete and much is near our hotel. Tennis courts and the beach are just across the road, a little mini train also adjacent to our hotel can take you to various inland stops and places of interest including the lift to Plantanias village for shopping.

Included Features and Excursions:

  We'll find out more about the long fascinating history of Crete every second Wednesday evening. The island holds 5000 years of history, from the Minoan period to the Hellenistic times, to the Roman period, to the Byzantine era, up to modern times. Over the centuries Crete has been invaded by many countries mainly because of its strategic position in the then known world for the control of the eastern Mediterranean and the trade between 3 continents. This obviously had a tremendous impact on the islands traditions, way of life and character of the people.

  We'll walk through the old Venetian town of Chania with our host on Wednesday. Discover the greatest monument of the western Crete. Lunch at Petridis taverna on the water front. Nikos, the owner has been a restaurateur for 65 years! But more importantly, we ate the most delicious calamari, shrimp saganaki and so much more for 3 leisurely hours. Of course, wine was included and raki to top it all off!
