This Greek island gem has been perfecting the art of keeping holidaymakers properly happy for decades. You've got stunning beaches that range from pink sand (yes, really!) to dramatic black volcanic shores, ancient Minoan palaces that are older than the pyramids, and mountain villages where locals still make their own raki. The all-inclusive resorts here are properly impressive too – think sprawling beachfront complexes with multiple pools, authentic Greek tavernas alongside international buffets, and evening entertainment that includes traditional Greek dancing. Plus, Crete's massive, so you can base yourself anywhere from the buzzing resort towns to quieter family-friendly bays, all while knowing your meals, drinks, and entertainment are completely sorted.

Crete's absolutely brilliant for families doing all-inclusive! The island's got over 100 Blue Flag beaches, so you're guaranteed clean, safe waters for the kids. Most family resorts have proper kids' clubs, waterparks with slides, and shallow pools perfect for little ones. Plus, you'll get easy access to amazing family attractions like the Palace of Knossos (where kids can explore ancient Minoan ruins), Aquaworld Aquarium, and loads of traditional villages where they can see how olive oil and honey are made. The beauty of all-inclusive here is that kids have the freedom to try new dishes, they might expand their palate, but if not they can always have their chicken nuggets while parents enjoy fresh seafood and moussaka – everyone's happy!

It depends what you're after! Hersonissos is brilliant for families and couples who want everything on their doorstep – loads of all-inclusive resorts, waterparks, and easy access to Heraklion's attractions. Chania's perfect if you want that proper Greek charm with its gorgeous Venetian harbour and cobblestone streets, plus you're close to stunning Elafonissi Beach with its famous pink sand. Malia's the party capital if you're after nightlife with your all-inclusive package, while Rethymno offers the best of both worlds with its medieval old town and 12km of gorgeous beach. For luxury and tranquility, Elounda's your spot.

Absolutely! Most all-inclusive resorts offer day trips to these iconic spots, and since your food and drinks are sorted at the hotel, you can spend your holiday budget on these epic excursions. Elafonissi Beach with its pink sand and crystal-clear lagoon is about an hour's drive from most Chania-area resorts – it's like stepping into a tropical paradise! Samaria Gorge is Europe's longest gorge and a proper adventure – the 16km hike takes most of the day, but the views are absolutely spectacular. Some resorts even include these trips in their entertainment programmes or offer them at discounted rates.

Definitely! Crete's got some gorgeous adults-only all-inclusive resorts perfect for couples and groups wanting a child-free environment. Places like Stella Island Luxury Resort & Spa and Atlantica Kalliston offer sophisticated vibes with infinity pools, spa treatments, gourmet dining, and romantic settings without any kids running about. You'll get that proper relaxed atmosphere for sunset cocktails, couples' massages, and intimate dinners, while still being close enough to explore Crete's amazing culture and history when you fancy it.

Crete all-inclusive typically covers your flights, accommodation, all meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner), local drinks including wine and beer, and most resort activities like kids' clubs, evening entertainment, and use of pools and sports facilities. Many resorts throw in extras like tennis courts, fitness centres, and some even include spa credits or wine tastings. Higher-end packages might include premium spirits, à la carte restaurant access, and excursions. Just check what's covered – things like airport transfers, premium drinks, and day trips to attractions like Knossos usually cost extra.

Crete's brilliant from April through October, with over 300 days of sunshine annually! July and August are peak season with temperatures hitting 30°C – perfect for beach days and poolside lounging, but expect higher prices and crowds. May-June and September-October are the sweet spots for all-inclusive deals – you'll get gorgeous 25°C weather, lower prices, and fewer crowds. The shoulder months are also better for exploring places like Samaria Gorge and ancient sites without melting! Most all-inclusive resorts operate from April to October, so you've got loads of options.

Of course individual mileage may vary but, in general, if you're spending a decent amount of time at your resort, it's a proper bargain, especially with families! When you factor in Crete's restaurant prices (which can add up quickly in touristy areas), plus drinks, activities, and entertainment, all-inclusive usually saves you £40-60 per person per day. You're getting unlimited food including fresh seafood, Greek specialities, and international cuisine, plus local wines and cocktails. The convenience factor is massive too – no hunting for restaurants or worrying about the bill when the kids want ice cream for the third time that day. Perfect for making the most of Crete's incredible beaches and culture without constantly checking your wallet!
