Lyttos Beach, Crete Holidays: Resort Break Guide
Lyttos Beach sits on the coast of Crete, the largest of the Greek islands and a long-standing favourite with UK holidaymakers. It is the kind of beachfront spot that suits families and couples who want sun, sea and an easy resort base without too much fuss.
Crete blends good beaches with a strong sense of place, so even a relaxed beach holiday here comes with the option of exploring a genuinely characterful island.
Where to stay at Lyttos Beach
TUI BLUE Sensatori Atlantica Caldera Palace is a five-star beachfront resort at Lyttos Beach on Crete, a comfortable all-round base for a sunny week by the sea.
Getting there and when to go
Most UK package holidays fly into one of Crete's airports, followed by a transfer to the coast. The season runs from spring to autumn, with hot, dry summers and gentler warmth in May, June and September for those who prefer to dodge the peak heat.
Beaches and resorts
The setting is all about the beachfront, with easy access to the sand and the warm waters of the eastern Mediterranean. Crete's coast offers a good mix of organised resort beaches and quieter coves further afield for anyone who likes to explore.
Food and things to do
Cretan food is one of the island's pleasures, with fresh fish, local olive oil, cheeses and hearty village cooking. Beyond lazing on the beach, a hire car opens up the wider island, from harbour towns to inland villages and dramatic landscapes.
Who it suits
Lyttos Beach suits families and couples after a comfortable beach base, especially anyone who likes the security of a self-contained resort with the chance to venture out into Crete when the mood takes.
