Crete is a magnificent place for a vacation as there are so many things to do and see. But for adventures to be even more exciting, you need to have a great place to stay for the night.
Here, you’ll find some of the best Airbnbs on Crete. They are stylish, unique, and at a good price.
From my experience, staying in two places in Crete is a good idea if you are traveling for a week or more. Choose one place on the Eastern side of the island and another in the West. That way you’ll have a better chance to see the best parts of the island without spending too much time on the road.
I definitely recommend having your own car for the time you explore Crete. There are just so many unique things to see, and they all can’t be easily reached by public transportation.
Here’s my guide on how to find the best deals for rental cars in European destinations.
Traditional Stone Studio by the Sea
This will be perfect for private people looking for a relaxing break under the Cretan sun. You’ll find a swimming pool just for yourself, and several great beaches nearby.

Beautiful view of Mirabello Bay and a lot of options for water sports nearby.
Heraklion City Center Suite
Feel like a local when you enjoy your evening glass of wine or juice on the balcony overlooking the famous Morosini fountain. A variety of cafes and restaurants is just a short walk away. You’ll even have your own kitchen in case you want to cook something from the fresh produce found in the nearby central market.

Just a tip from the previous guests – there is no on-site parking. So that’s an inconvenience if you have rented a car.
