A Sun-Soaked Cretan Getaway

From its sweeping sandy beaches to its sleepy mountain villages, Crete is a strikingly beautiful island with a fascinating history and one of Europe’s finest cuisines. Home to epic myths and legends and birthplace of the God of Gods, Zeus, the island is rich with stories and landmarks that trace their origins back thousands of years. Combined with Crete’s outstanding natural beauty and fantastic modern amenities, it’s easy to see why it is such a popular destination today. So join the Limitless Team as we embark on a Greek odyssey and a holiday you will never forget.

After meeting the Limitless Team at the airport special assistance desk, we’ll make our way through security and head for our boarding gate together. We recommend booking special assistance with the airport before flying if required, but the Limitless team will also be on hand to provide additional support as we check in and board the plane. We're there to ensure the airport experience is as easy as possible, advocate on your behalf, and give you the confidence to fly, so we'll be by your side throughout the journey.

On arrival at our destination, the Limitless Team will help you through the airport and onto the awaiting accessible transfer vehicle. From there, it’s on to your excellent disabled-friendly hotel, where we’ll check in, get you settled and comfortable in your room, and enjoy a delicious evening meal with your fellow guests.

In the evening, we’ll gather for a delightful meal and tuck into the restaurant’s delicious buffet dinner.

Day 3 Agii Apostoli Accessible Beach
Maleme, Crete

A short 20-minute drive east along the spectacular Cretan coastline lies the picturesque beach of Agii Apostoli. Recently revamped with accessible equipment, the beach features extensive wooden decking, chair access to the water, and adapted beach wheelchairs. A paved promenade runs across the top of this pristine stretch of sand, so you can stroll or roll your way along the seafront when you have had your fill of sun.

The local area benefits from excellent tourist infrastructure, so you can take a break in one of the many beachfront cantinas or grab a bite to eat in a local restaurant whenever the fancy takes you. Following a beautiful beach day, we’ll board the accessible transport, head back to the hotel and prepare for another mouthwatering evening meal and a night of Greek entertainment and live music.

Day 4 Charming Chania
Accessible beach wheelchair

Located on the north of the island, just a 30-minute drive from your hotel, Chania is Crete’s most atmospheric, romantic and historic city, blending Byzantine, Venetian and Ottoman influences to spectacular effect. Famous for its labyrinthine lanes, varied architecture, imposing fortifications and remarkable Venetian harbour, it’s a wonderful place to eat, explore and experience Crete’s unique island culture.

On your visit, you’ll benefit from the company of a professional English-speaking guide who will provide expert commentary as you tour the town. As well as stopping at the Akrotiri Peninsula for panoramic views of Chania, you’ll visit the Archaeological Museum for a fantastic insight into the region’s fascinating past. ​As well as plenty of history, Chania is home to a host of trendy boutiques, traditional leather artisans and souvenir stalls, making it a great spot for a little holiday shopping. Later in the afternoon, we’ll enjoy a refreshing beverage down at the waterfront. There are few more pleasant Cretan experiences than sipping on a classic cocktail as you overlook the city’s historic harbour.

Day 5 A Taste of Crete
Img 1766 1 2

Crete was named European Region of Gastronomy in 2026, and its sensational cuisine has long been admired as the epitome of the healthy (and delicious) Mediterranean diet. With a focus on slow cooking, patient preparation, fresh ingredients and, above all, simplicity, Cretan food ranks among some of the finest you will find anywhere in Europe.
​
Today, we’ll experience some of the island’s incredible culinary heritage first-hand with a guided visit of the Idiosmos olive mill. There, we’ll get a taste for some of Crete’s famous olive oils, cheeses and honey, while learning more about the island’s fascinating food culture. On our way back, we’ll stop at Kolymbari’s picturesque harbour for a short break and refreshment, followed by a fantastic BBQ dinner at the hotel.

Day 6 Maleme’s Mediterranean Magic
Cyprus

Today, we’ll spend a relaxing morning at the hotel, enjoy a buffet lunch, and then board the accessible shuttle bus and make the short trip to Maleme. A tranquil coastal village, Maleme will enthral beach bums and history buffs alike, and we’ll spend the afternoon enjoying its easygoing charm. Boasting a three-kilometre stretch of beautiful beach, the village is a fantastic spot to get a first feel for the island’s gorgeous Mediterranean waters and top up that tan. Several local tavernas and bars ensure there are plenty of shady spots from which to watch the world go by, too.

An optional tour of the town’s FISIKA skincare workshop will introduce you to the wonderful world of sustainable soap-making, or you can opt to explore the town at your own pace. The village played a pivotal role in World War II and the Battle of Crete as a landing site for German paratroopers invading the island. As a result, the village is home to a German war cemetery and a modest RAF memorial. As the sun sets, we’ll tuck into a delicious beachside dinner in a local restaurant.

Day 7 Relax, Unwind & Enjoy the Sun
Customer

On your last full day in Crete, we’ll take it slow, making the most of the hotel facilities and ensuring you’re as relaxed as can be before heading home. Whether that means booking a spa treatment, lounging by the pool with your holiday reading or making your way into Maleme for a lazy lunch is entirely up to you.

​The Limitless Team will be available all day to provide support, so if there is anything you would particularly like to see or do, let us know, and we’ll help make it happen! In the evening, we’ll gather at the hotel restaurant to share our favourite holiday memories, before enjoying a piano performance by the pool.

Day 8 Airport Transfer & Flight Home
Crete, Greece

Today, your accessible holiday comes to an end. After breakfast, the Limitless Team will help you transfer to the airport. We’ll be on hand to help you through the airport, while you’re boarding the plane and during your flight. Once we touch down in the UK, we’ll accompany you through to arrivals and wave you off on your journey home. We’ll see you next time!
