Crete
Big enough to be its own trip. Gorges, beaches and real food.
Travellers come here for beaches, food, nature and culture.
When to go
Aim for May, April and June. Think twice about November, December and July — the wettest stretch of the year.

What it costs
Per person per day — a bed, food, getting around, and a share of one paid thing every third day.
These are GoReady's own estimates, not quotes. Nothing here is a price a provider has offered you — search the dates you actually want to see real ones.
