Lasithi holidays.

Lasithi, not without reason called the” Sunny site of Crete", has the highest amount of sunshine hours and its season lasts longer then any other region on the island. Even in winter the temperature seldom drops below 15 degrees Celsius. Places such as Ierapetra (the most southern town of Europe) guarantee the perfect temperature all year round. Look for more information on weather and statistics on the “weather page” of our site.

LASITHI HOLIDAYS

It was inevitable that, after the overwhelming success of www.crete-holidays.net, we now present you a website with extensive information on the beautiful region where we live and work. Lasithi, the county located in the east side of Crete, has a lot to offer. It is has hardly been touched by mass tourism and the authentic Cretan atmosphere can still be found. Lassithi boasts the highest amount of luxurious 5* hotels on Crete but offers a vast amount of low budget accommodations as well. The one thing they have in common is that famous Cretan hospitality. When you visit Lassithi, you are not just a tourist but a “Xenia”; a welcome foreigner or guest with whom we gladly share our experiences of the island. When Nikos Kazanthakis set foot on Crete for the first time he described the feeling as something mystical or better yet; as a feeling of coming home. We (as the creators of this website) experience that same feeling, the feeling of being at ease and surrounded by good friends.

A holiday in Lassithi has a lot to offer, except maybe mass tourism, so if you are looking for the party zone then Lassithi is definitely not for you. Other regions on Crete will gladly accommodate the party animals among us. If however you have come to enjoy the beautiful surroundings, the clean beaches with crystal clear waters and the healthy kitchen Crete is so famous for, then this is the place to be. Meaning a holiday the way you imagine it to be and coming home with a suitcase full of wonderful experiences and newfound profundities. We wish you an enjoyable time whilst browsing through our website and hope to be able to welcome you one of these days in the lovely region of Lassithi.

My name is Anneke. In the Netherlands I have been employed by the KLM for 16 years and I now run my own business on Crete (operational since 1998). With an enthusiastic and dedicated team of “Crete Experts” we continuously work to find you the best accommodations on Crete and show you all the beauties this interesting island has to offer. I am therefore very pleased to be able to present you, after the enormous success of www.crete-holidays.net, a complete and up to date website on the region of Lassithi.

Many of you will know me as the person behind the reservations you made for car hire or the booking of an accommodation, and I hope to continue being of assistance to you. I wish you a lot of fun in planning your holiday on Crete (perhaps with the help of our website) and hope to be able to welcome you soon in the beautiful region of the Lassithi.
