Milia is a mountain retreat that runs on solar energy and natural spring water, and is perfectly placed for hiking adventures and Dalabelos is a working farm that offers 10 stone cottages and two luxury villas, sweeping sea views, food grown onsite, and a chance to get involved with the wine and olive harvest.

Note that the further south you go, the more likely you’ll find a truer Crete, unbothered by resorts. Take advantage of thinner crowds with lazy days on blockbuster beaches – ordinarily packed, pink-hued Elafonisi should be left in relative peace. April makes a great shoulder season – outside of the Easter school holidays, of course – with the mercury rising amiably before summer’s sweltering peak.
