Hi,
We're thinking of going to Crete for the first time next year and have been browsing the 2010 brochures. Can anyone recommend any websites with good deals on (possibly free kids places)? We don't mind booking independantly or doing a package holiday.
When is the best time to book flights if booking independantly?
Gouves seems to be one of the cheapest resorts and it looks like it would suit our needs (apartment in fairly quiet resort with pool, near the beach)
How hot is it likely to be in July/Aug and how much is air con (roughly?)
Thanks.
Hi Li-sa 
If you book your own hol, instead of package why not consider a villa with private pool! there are many to rent all over Crete, but western Crete I feel is the best, Almyrida area has wonderful beaches, plenty activities ie:- watersports, cycle hire, horse riding and an abundant choice of taverna's and bars, without losing any of its wonderful cretan charm,

Thanks for that suggestion. I have been looking at that option too.
I prefer the look of west crete, but price and flights limit where we might travel (we would want to fly from Birmingham).
Gouves seems to be coming out as one of the cheapest options, but I will keep looking as we are in no particular hurry to book.

flights to Heraklion from bhx is what we normally do, We hire a car and drive along the national road to the western side. its about one and a half hours to Almyrida, depending on the traffic.
We have just booked for May halfterm with James Villas - couldnt ask for better service - cost works out at £432 (each) for a week including car, pre booked seats, 2 grocery packs and sensible flight times with kids - ie no night flights. When I looked the price was similar for july as well.
Prior to this we have stayed in Stalis and used the bus or little train to get to the water parks etc and hired a car at a reasonable price as well.
